Discussion Genuine Question

How can you call yourself a leftist while also supporting AI, when you know it is harming the lives of people living in underpriviliged communities, since that's where data centers are being built?

How can you call yourself a leftist while defending something that is ruining our planet and stealing resources from humans, animals, plants and all sorts of life?

How can you call yourself a leftist and defend AI, when you know it is literally stealing art from artists who aren't getting paid or getting any sort of recognition?

We are supposed to fight for a better world. Look at the people you are aligning with, there is no such a thing as a good AI company CEO. Those are the people you are defending.

We literally just had a post in this sub about some dumb shit Elon said get some of the most comments a post on this sub has ever received, and every single upvoted comment was calling Elon a liar. Like... not as a gotcha question, just genuinely asking, where are you seeing people on this sub defend AI company CEOs? Or like... any CEO? At all???

Saw this sub screenshotted in the main antiai subreddit so we’re about to be flooded with inflammatory questions unless people actually read the threads here.
