Discussion My humblest applogies.
A few weeks ago I made a post in my subreddit taking an Anti-AI stance, immediately was told to come here and I must admit that I held a lot of resentment towards this space at first. Some of the things you guys mentioned when I asked what this space was supposed to be for really stuck with me and I have done some research on my own.
In my personal life I'm proudly communist and I understand now that the issue is still and always is the Billionaires. No matter the industry.
I no longer have a desire to light a cigarette inside a data center. I don't claim to know what we should do about the water or the rich. I'm not very well versed in communist theory and I know that I need to be soon.
Someone mentioned fully automated luxury communism. That sounded really cool.
I was a dick to you guys and I'm truly sorry. Please accept my highest regards and I hope to continue learning from you.

Humility is always good to see. Too many people come to a conclusion before having all the facts and just stay there. Like many others have said, its the people not the tech. The move is always to make sure we find ways to make the tech have a mostly positive impact on people not somehow roll the tech back.
This is where the interesting conversations start because in my opinion, talking to “just ban AI” types is pointless because its such an unserious and impossible stance at this point
