A lot of people heard about book burnings as a kid, and internalized “books are sacred” rather than “the suppression of knowledge is evil”.

These people are flat-out narcissists. And these people have highly ranked positions and an high status.

One of the more incoherent things I see from people online is to “ask an expert” instead of using ChatGPT.

In my years of experience doing this, most experts tell you to go look up the answer to the question instead, often rudely. So is it that surprising people turn to a chatbot?

people saying dumb stuff on here was always a thing

but i've noticed a clear spike in aggressively confident posts on technical topics that are embarrassingly wrong

not slightly wrong, so wrong you wonder if they understand anything

hard to imagine this is not related to LLMs

The replies and reposts from this person showing and thinking they "owned" and "fought" Discord and AI by writing absolutely retarded mental gymnastics-type shit and/or having an mental breakdown over it gives me brain damage. Especially after the survey went offline.

What in the absolute fuck. These people are hopeless man

Jesus fucking Christ

Aaaaaand unsurprisingly OP is now coming out in favor of proprietary software over libre software. Code dictators really have only one trajectory, turns out!

Genuinely unbelievable. These people are genuinely a threat to OSS and society. It's solely about power and authority for them. They want to see the world burn.

it gets worse

Linux is CANCELLED

These people are narcissists, holy shit.

Done, though I disagree with your reason(ing) since no one is going to "harass" them anyways, since these people are extreme radicals who often harass others themselves, and their behaviours and views are dangerous too. It's all public anyways too.

Deeply unserious people.

Digital Rights Management is a deeply evil technology.

I should scrape the entirety of 404 Media and Ed Zitron's blog and make an public dataset just for fun, and also cuz fuck them grifters and fake-leftists.

It's clear that these Anti-AI extremists have never worked in even remotely demanding, repetitive and/or complex jobs in their entire life, or else they wouldn't advocate for human workers in an absolutely horrifying and mentally damaging job instead of AI/ML.

I hope Bluesky won't succumb to the insane people on here, because it's been long enough of double standards, witch hunting, etc. just because of an group of insane people acting as the guards and knights of the "correct thing"

Please know that if you use the Latin script in your game description, I'm going to assume it's .... ah forget it.

Cope

These people are going to target open libraries next. Fuck you

i fear that the left has become so reactionary to big tech capitalism that their aversion, distaste, and growing illiteracy around technology is just going to inadvertently help the capitalists succeed

... working class, just for yourselves. Maybe it's also because you have an huge ego too, but whatever.

... tackling and trying to solve the issue that you and others see. No, instead you and your fellow priviledged middle class "leftists" fight for your own egos and lifestyle, it's not about equality and justice for the oppressed, you just want it for yourselves, not the lower class, not the ...

... everything you call, portray (and view) yourself online. You are literally a part of the problem. You only care about the "threats" or "dangers" to your current way of life, which is - money. Everything you see as a threat to your lifestyle in the simplest way possible instead of actually ...

You literally went to an private university, went on holidays to Egypt and Dubai, and you literally call yourself an "Twitter activist".

It's obvious to any normal person that you, and your other fellow online """leftists""", do not care about Marxism, the "fight for socialism/communism", and ...

feels like the anti-AI folks talk about AI more than most of the pro-AI folks do, and in their pursuit of fighting the hype they have also inadvertently created a unique blend of anti-AI hype (“the bubbles gonna burst any moment now, i swear guys!!”)

Which ones for example? I haven't seen a single community-driven site for ages nowadays.
