  • Glad to hear that I am both fascist and ancom adjacent in my views, truly groundbreaking times we are in.

    AI in a non-harmful, productive capacity precludes it from being actually intelligent, lest we let it cause us to waste away.

    Pointing out what has been studied and well documented (the negative affects of the internet / similar technologies) is not primitivism.

    One thing that has been pointed out in my industry is the automation driven degradation of indispensable skills. Things have gotten so bad that the FAA sent out a bulletin begging pilots to hand fly aircraft so that they can maintain their aeronautical aptitude.

    A solution you might present and one that is often presented is more automation, pilotless commercial aircraft even. The problem is that these systems much like LLMs love to hallucinate. Autopilot loves to attempt suicide on commercial aircraft. (Commercial aircraft are subject to insane hours and duty cycles exposing them to much more wear than the drones we’re used to seeing.)

    I bring this all up as real world comparison of what I expect us all to experience when we each are given our own mental autopilot. Degradation of mental skills.

    I am not aware of the exact link you see between my question regarding our species and fascism. But I’ll surrender that it could have been phrased better.

    Struggle is in all facets of life, not just what’s physical and aesthetic (which I imagine is what fascists are most concerned with).

    I’m not making a point about “survival of the fittest” or something along those line when I speak of struggle. I’m speaking in regards to struggle in interpersonal relationship management, the source of most frustration for many. And I would say that it’s valid to be concerned of struggle like that being removed from our lives in place of two AI talking to eachother when we already have people using LLMs to solve their interpersonal conflicts for them. Another skill that will degrade without struggle.

    We already have an overabundance of production in the world, those bereft of the things they need are in that position because in our overindulgence we have decided to take from them as well.

    Wanting to restrict AI given it’s purported trajectory in capability is more akin to wanting denuclearization than advocating for the cessation of all things post industrial.

    Let me ask anyone reading this one question; Is the theory you consume the backbone of actual substantive practice from you as the authors intended, or is the consumption of theory just a hobby and it’s discussion a way for you to feel a part of a community?


  • First, I must submit that I am prejudiced against AI, LLMs, and anything under that umbrella.

    Next, I will admit that I did not read your entire post- as I found it very difficult to follow. I can say with confidence that it was not written by AI though, as an LLM would have made it a little more coherent.

    I did however read the sections I thought most relevant.

    Now let me say, I do not care if AI is intelligent. I do not care if AI is bad for the environment. I do not care that AI has the potential to replace “jobs”. I do not care if AI is evil or not.

    But what makes me care, and what seems to be missing from your post, is- the point.

    Let’s say the world’s AI is ultra intelligent, costs 1 watt an hour to run, and is subserviently friendly- and while we’re at it, why not say that the world has passed universal basic income and the lack of jobs are no longer a concern. What’s the point?

    What are we freeing up so much time for? Unfettered consumption?

    You speak of evolution, you make some interesting points and comparisons in regards to it. Did we not evolve in the face of struggle? What of our species if we take struggle away? Are we to become the people depicted in WALL-E?

    AI will destroy critical thought and interpersonal relationships, like the internet destroyed the community and the aircraft destroyed the family.

    These facets of technology may serve to benefit the masses under communism as any tool might. But only if they are completely reconceptualized.





  • Folks being brutalized and ripped off the streets- sent to continents some of them have never stepped foot on. Yet the most heavily armed populace in the world has yet to lift a finger.

    Any cop who’s scared or distrustful of the average civilian is delusional, and unaware of just how pacified the U.S populace is.

    You want to coddle them- I want to give them pretext for fear and see you justified to be worried on their behalf, yet still wrong for seeing them as people worth any care.
