Piracy spaces and anything adjacent tend to be pretty far right. It’s bizarre.
Hell even just open source software communities can be fucked up. I’m working on a little project and one tool I came across proudly said “made in the USA”, took 2 seconds to find the dev is a nazi with AI slop plastered all over his profile.
It’s just kind of bizarre because these sorts of spaces in theory would go against what the right believes in but apparently not
The latter isn’t entirely true. It’s not as easy as text generation becuase there isnt something like ollama. But you can run an image generators locally if you’ve got a decent GPU. Stable Diffusion in particular can do this.
you can, but i thought the concern from artists is being out of work because a corporation is using it at a massive scale to profit on labor without paying for it.
I see what you mean but phrasing artists being automated out of a job as them “not controlling the means of production”, seems like a stretch of the terms.
it’s only “out of a job” because they don’t though? Socialist automation reduces work hours and maintains pay, capitalist automation fires four people and makes the fifth one do all their work for no additional money.
Just to be clear: I understood your first claim as AI causing workers to lose control of production through automation. But you were really saying was: because workers already don’t have control of production, AI is causing them to lose their jobs.
What’s up with piracy spaces loving AI? /r/piracy seems to have the same thing. Is it the irreverence toward IP?
There’s some level of ideological overlap in rejecting the concept of intellectual property.
Yeah I have noticed that too. I think it comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of why phenomena like the luddites came about.
People really got to listen to This Machine Kills. It’s a great podcast from some modern very tech literate self proclaimed luddites.

the main problems with generative ai are the environmental toll and the workers not controlling the means of production
Ah, but did you consider that this is automation and therefore automatically good for the working class?
excuse me sweaty but don’t make me tap the “fully” on the FALGSC sign

And websites getting ddosed from scraping.
A little neocities site I setup has page views in the millions from ai scrapers.
piracy spaces are really chuddy nowadays so that might be why
Probably people who think they can make easy money off of AI infecting any space that tolerates them.
