Yes its AI

But you know what? That damn first panel (a version of it that isn't garbled by a bot, anyway) has been floating around forever. Getting a narrative arc to properly finish the point is... so very gratifying.

to compare against the one the bot zeroxed out:

Significant difference between gun and weapons industry. Political power grows out the barrel of a gun.

A gun is also as stupid as its owner.

A rock is a rock. It's there through natural happenstance and cannot control what a person will do with with it.

A gun is a gun by design. A tool made specifically for the purpose of harming or killing another individual. Often bought and owned by people with fragile egos, or those who believe that have too much to fear, but never own by rational people.

I don't pay for models in any way so I'm not responsible for the emissions during training. AI companies decided to create these emissions, not me.

I did a bit of research and the full emissions of AI is relatively small compared to other things but still far from negligible. If we take this guardian article at face value the total emissions of AI is 80 million tonnes. Which is about 1.3% of total carbon emissions (about 6 billion tonnes). I did a bit of research and I just thought I'd share.

What noble purpose?
Spreading democracy and freedom, fighting authoritarianism, plagiarism etc?

Yes, that noble purpose.

So my questions remain:

What democracy do you think you are spreading by using genAI?

What authoritarianism are you fighting by paying the fascists for access to their slop bot?

What plagiarism are you fighting by using the plagiarism bot?

It isn't going to be collectively owned because it isn't made for the collective to own, and locally hosting a version of it isn't going to make it a tool of the masses.

It's made to convince tech illiterate ceos and politicians to throw money at it until the techbros selling it can get their companies bailed out by the world governments that they convinced to put it into their mass surveillance and military systems.

Paint.net and GIMP are two prime examples of free image editing software that I'd suggest using instead, because even a poorly drawn image made with a mouse in 10 minutes holds more value (literally, in almost all cases) than anything a slopbot is told to generate.

kill computers

what did the artist draw this on then?

The message of the content is great and right! It is fun no one commented it yet. Or may be ignoring the message was part of their answer.

One who refuse any type of AI use could make a version, even by hand as some claims, or in 10 minutes... But they of course disagree with an important part of the message.

For them, the rich editor who owns the intellectual rights on works is someone to protect. They identify to the worker who has his only cookie (the remaining part of his intellectual rights the rich has let him). And they are scared by collectivism.

So great job, you forced them to see otherwise for a second! I hope some of them may take a time to think farther than their cookie.

Criminal negligence is a type of evil

Mescaline, presumably

Don't pay for access to AI. There are plenty of free ones.

No product is free, if you don't pay anything, you are the product being sold.

You 'pay' these companies by providing them with training data for their LLMs / you are the thing they are trained on. You as a user provide an endless supply of metadata they can sell.

Just don't use the slop bot, it's literally as easy as that.

Collective ownership would likely be the solution there.

Why yes I do believe you are correct. In my opinion Collective Ownership of the means of production would be a great solution here. We could like... Build greenhouses around the data centers! Or even better; Build the greenhouses upwards over the data centers. Five story greenhouse heck yeah.

Or we could just you know... stop using the data centers. :|

p.s Why do we not capture the steam coming out of nuclear reactors cooling towers? I'm to lazy to look it up.

He, maybe hes just left handed

Yeah everything ai does is based on work originally by a human lol

Data centers are also used by the internet, youtube videos, other content being stored. Des the 'stop using data centers' aspect apply to those?
Or is it for AI data centers?

You say this on a free social media ...

AI isn't a 'product', by the way. It is a technology. You can run it on your own device.

I can run many forms of technology on my own devices, that doesn't stop them from being products.
