I am ethically and morally opposed to gen AI as a concept. As far as the breaking point, let me explain. I’ve been a machinist for ~18 years. It’s been really bad for the last 9 years and I’ve more or less had to live off of savings from the good years (those savings are basically gone).

I’ve just recently gotten legitimate job offers for ~$125 an hour remote because I own a CNC. The catch is that I have to record all of the CAM programming and machine time in order to train an AI to replace potentially hundreds of thousands of jobs.

This fucking sucks. I’d love to sit on my ass forever at 43, but I absolutely fucking hate the potential that I could bring that would crush the working class and elevate the owning class.

I wish it wasn’t this hard, because I really do believe in socialism and have labored hard for a long time to make it happen - but there’s a chance I can put everything I have into true anarchism cause and make a legitimate difference.

Please help.

        So you do not use up any fossil fuels? Only buying from anarchist co-ops? No Supermarkets for you? Only second hand clothing? O course your vegan too? And i really hope you don’t pay rent to anyone!

        EVERYONE is aiding the 1% there is no way not to. How convinient that YOUR support is morally fine and you are wise enough to judge others without actually knowing a damn thing.

        This is NOT how to build community, this is not how you get enough people to vote left(you know the thing that we ACTUALLY need to change something) this is one major reason why peoole think the left is a joke.

        Automation is coming no matter what and it isn’t a problem when we manage to make left wing policies popular enough to run on and win, so we can tax the shit out of these companies and give the money back to the people in various forms.

        Just stop with the blame game, ops decision does not make a difference at all for AI but he will not be more useful living on the street .

        Is your dream for the future that everyone keeps being a wage slave ? Why not bring down all automation we had so far than?
