I don't get this, do you want people to idle around so big tech can have a monopoly on AI tech or do you think people can protest technology away?

[–] JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No, I think they want us to bomb data centers and gas pipelines.

[–] SippyCup@feddit.nl 13 points 1 month ago

Well we can't have that. We should put together a map of data centers and pipe lines, and share it with people do we know what to protect.

we need a rockerboy with a prostheses to do a little tomfoolery...?

Maybe protesting alone won't be enough...

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Then suggest an alternative. We already have all the criticism we could possibly stand when it comes to protesting. What we don't have is a single one of those critics suggesting or doing anything differently.

It is going to take some massive incident for people to distrust AI. The problem is that it is so damn convincing.

Ned Ludd shoulda put down his hammer and opened his own factory.

It's funny that you confidently thought this was about AI the way I confidently thought this was about social media

Can you explain what you're seeing?

To me this comic is making fun of companies putting open source everywhere when it's not, just to get clout boosts.

Where are you getting AI from?

[–] simple@piefed.social 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The "genie won't go back in the bottle" quote is usually said when referring to AI, and judging by OP's vague comment I probably understood right.

Thanks. I hate it when people make memes with multiple meta levels. If you want to make a point against AI, don't burry it under open source corporatism.
