This whole thread is hilarious. I imagine it’s much like the early 1900s…
“I put up my ‘Never Automobiles’ sign, but they keep driving down the road! I hate automobiles. People are just too lazy to walk everywhere. Walking is better for the environment and it doesn’t give money to the corporations. I’m going to post ‘Never Automobiles’ on every corner of every street, until they’re all gone!”
125 years later… See the fuckcars community for their effectiveness.
Best part? People using AI to make free pics are hastening the bubble collapse. Altman said he was surprised to learn their new $200 tier customers were still not profitable. AI “art” and graphics are also winding up a hella backlash. Someday soon enough people will regard that whole style as unbelievably gauche.
I don’t think you understand the economics involved. Most of America’s GDP and stock market gains are tied up in AI. Total stock valuation vs. GDP (Buffett Index) is at 230%. It was 119% in 1929 and 2008. We’re looking at a planetary recession, at best. It won’t be the tech bros suffering.

Go tell vegan communities about their effectiveness. Or free software ones. Or “boycott x”. Go on.
Sir, this is a Lemmy Shitpost. (And none of your examples are paradigm-shifting technological innovations)

Bring on the AI pics! I’m fine with all that. :)
Fine by me if they go bankrupt! Doesn’t affect local models or their usage one iota.

Oh, I understand it. I just recognize everything is too far gone to care. I’m blithely apathetic.
“I’ll just put this over here. With the rest of the fire.”
This fire is going to take us all down.
Correct. That’s what fire does.
