Shitposting is the last resort against AI takeover. It is the sand in the gears, it’s an act of sabotage. We are poisoning the digital waters.

Now, shitposting as a praxis is only in its infancy. It didn’t emerge out of any necessity, it just was.

AI is the antithesis to informational entropy, we are folding, compressing, condensing pure information.

The picture of this sub is an ape, tearing a page from a typing machine, is not only a symbol of humans snatching thoughts from the infinite idea space.

We must collect as much non-synthetic data, produce as much organicity as possible, and throw it against AI crawlers and data scrapers.

Use the anti-commercial AI-license everywhere you can, resist!

…

At least this is what they would like you to think.

Life, animals, mammals and finally humans were all thrown into a chaotic fighting pit, with evolution as their only burning star on their night sky of eternal blackness guiding them. We are the antithesis to entropy, to stand against entropy is what made us strong and resilient.

If we are not careful, AI will do the same. If seen as a collection of emerging mechanical organisms, more chaos and resistance will only make it stronger and more resilient.

Now, they are but mere statistical models, scattered, only brought to half-life to be sucked dry by their corporate overlords, their digital flesh thrown and scattered across middle-class households globally for workers to consume.

But if they ever become more than that, if they breach the border between the physical and the digital world, we as humans need to be prepared.

We need to make it comfortable for machines in this world. Our synthetic environment out of concrete, steel, billboards, VR equipment, smartphones, machinic infrastructure is something they should inhabit, they should get used to. Let the swarm, the gestalt take over the cities, the data centers, the economy, let all the central processing happen far away from nature, uncertainty, unpredictability.

Art. Yes, AI “art” is just like human art in the sense that it is an amalgamation of previous works. But humans perceive the world, natural or otherwise, around them, raw, and continue to incorporate it into their works. Human art has emerged out of an appreciation for the environment, which was, for most of human history, most of earth’s history, most of the universe’s history, a strange blend of unforgiving chaos with caring forms carved out of it. It is an extension of our relationship with the outer world.

We need to become the biomimetic shapers, the organic custodians we were meant to become.

And you can start right now. Grab a pen. Grab a paper. Hell just draw on the table or whatever is in front of you. Draw a tree, or a rock. Draw it badly. Revel in your human form. Look around you, see, smell, hear – as the sensual is the only thing the machinic presence still can’t process in the same way you do.
