My take is that if AI coding apologists can find a way to do their hyperspecific justifications without using LLM enshittification or data centres or putting a penny in OpenAI's pocket I wouldn't really care...
But also I fully endorse the righteous Butlerians against AI

Honestly I lament that this the discourse is so dominated by butlerians and rationalists that the talk of practical regulation is drowned. Like, this garbage flooding internet will be less common if there's genuine friction (like like non-deflated pricing) outside tools you need for your workplace.

there's a kind of head pat hair rustle paternalism for why you aren't using agents correctly, "wow this is amazing," machine consciousness done to death without new ideas, anti-AI emoting, political economy, Butlerians, fighting the same three misinfo arguments over and over again,,,

when forced to articulate some kind of materialist argument in favor of their position, all you get from Butlerians is self-justifying rationalization, and whatever they may claim, nothing but peer pressure actually has the power to alter their political position on the topic.

I keep trying to explain to people that the Butlerians only killed one robot, and it was an ally that taught the sword masters how to fight other robots. They killed billions of people though. And tortured. Literally least effective movement in the history of mankind. Read the books, noob.

Weaponized ignorance is a common theme. These same people think the Butlerians were good guys.
This is one of the most-shared posts on Bluesky in the past day and it's just completely false. You might think ChatGPT is a *bad* search engine, or prefer another search engine. But it has had integrated web search since last year.

Daily reminder that the Butlerians were the bad guys. They literally only killed one robot, and it was a good guy. What they did kill lots of were humans. Millions of humans were killed because of right wing conservative extremist ideology.
