    Hands up who's shocked by the intersection of racism, misogyny and AI policy.

    @atomless @anildash Well yes, I don't disagree. These systems propagate a normativity that is borderline eugenicist. But getting this across also seems to me to require a fusion of analysis and affect, which is what I liked about Anil's post

    I think the most compelling aspect of @anildash's post 'Today's AI is unreasonable' is the way it pairs a critique of gen-AI's unpredictable and unreproducible answers with the abusive and controlling mindset of the tech tycoons behind it https://www.anildash.com//2023/06/08/ai-is-unreasonable/

    The Google/DeepMind LLM seems to be programmed with pro-AI climate propaganda - that first screen smells of guardrails not stochastic text regression.

    At the same time that UK political parties vie in their condemnation of the Post Office scandal, they unite in their promotion of AI as the answer to tricky social problems. This means that, in effect, they are arguing for more of the same;

    Wow, what a truly terrible idea. The last thing that AI is a solution for is underlying structural injustices (see my book and others for the receipts). Keep generative AI out of patients lives!

      ‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza

      Permissive airstrikes on non-military targets and the use of an AI system have enabled the Israeli army to carry out its deadliest war on Gaza.

    AI isn't sci-fi but the precaritisation of jobs, the continued privatisation of everything and the erasure of actual social relations. AI is Thatcherism in computational form. And, like Thatcher herself, real world AI boosts bureaucratic cruelty towards the most vulnerable.
