       Reminder that whether you mean the current crop of generative "AI" or the far-off recurrent dream of conscious machines, I'm saying they shouldn't be made of kyriarchical, hegemonic, capitalist, white supremacist forces, and that we need to examine and reframe our societal values to ensure they aren't.

       @Wolven - Yes, and!"If we can't have chocolate without slavery, maybe we shouldn't have chocolate" also applies, in varying adapted forms, for those "Well, we couldn't" cases.

       @Wolven Thats a good koan: Does kyriarchy even really care if AI is “truly conscious”?  I mean, if it’s good enough for engineering requisite automated systems of domination…  If an AI is instantiated as a sociopathic corporation with the ability to rewrite itself, does it make a sound?

       The problem is not and never has been that "AI" is out of step with human values; it's that the values with which "AI" is in step are a) extremely human, b) woefully under-examined, and c) terrible.

       @Wolven Rich men will create whole new technologies just to avoid even thinking or talking about systemic change and ending oppression (and then use those new technologies to enslave and oppress most of us).

       @Wolven The writers and actors unions did a good job of framing AI as a labor issue during the strikes—arguing (accurately, I think) that we should all think of AI as a tool built on and for the extraction of surplus value from workers.

       "AI" as it exists, right now, today, is making the lives of humans worse in ways that constitute an existential threat, but it does so by exacerbating climate change and enabling the worst, most oppressively militaristic and carceral harms, and the variously prejudicial biases therein, so too many of y'all don't think it's "sexy" enough to note 🤷🏿‍♂️​

       @Wolven what "generative AI" in fact does is amplifying normative tendencies (i.e. it's promoting bias) on the level of any public discourse, i.e., non-colloquial use of language. I assume that this #process amplifies discrepancies between life as it's lived and life as #institutions present it. Brittleness of institutions will be the outcome, and #innovation of #language too. We may see if under such circumstances a rich and varied corpus of recent training data will ever again be available.

       @Wolven My hope is that AI will be a horrible mirror that shows us our worst habits and prejudices and slowly helps us work through them bit by bit. I am pessimistic that this will be a fast, pleasant, or safe process
