Fuck AI

Yeah, that's not what I was disagreeing with. You're right about that; I'm on record saying that capitalism is our first superintelligence and it's already misaligned. I'm just saying that it isn't really meaningless to object to generative AI. Sure the edges of the category are blurry, but all the LLMs and diffusion-based image generators and video generators were unethically trained on massive bodies of stolen data. Seriously, talking about AI as though the architecture is the only significant element when getting good training data is like 90% of the challenge is kind of a pet peeve of mine. And seen in that light there's a pretty significant distinction between the AI people are objecting to and the AI people aren't objecting to, and I don't think it's a matter of "a meaningless buzzword."
