  • I can explain in my own words what is so useful about this tech specifically, but we both know you’ll just ignore it anyways. Regardless, I’ll put in the effort for other people reading this thread. What the video shows is how you can quickly do statistical analysis over a data set and find how data might’ve been manipulated to present a misleading argument. This is something that would’ve taken days of work by hand previously. Similarly, LLMs are great at doing translations, correlating information from documents, doing speech to text for creating transcripts that are searchable. These are just a handful of obviously useful things that save a ton of time, and help people on the left who do not have the resources of large corps and think tanks. But obviously parroting thought terminating memes about AI slop is what people who refuse to engage with the subject with even a modicum of intellectual integrity will do.



  • I disagree, we can already see how American bourgeoisie are in panic over open models, or many positive ways this tech is applied in China right now. I think it’s helpful for people to develop a deeper understanding of the subject, and it’s an instructive moment where we have a sharp contradiction between the technology itself and the system of material relations we find ourselves in.

    What’s happening here is that people have decided that they hate this tech, and that becomes a foregone conclusion. They’re never actually going to try using it, nor do they care if it works or not. It’s just a hip thing to hate because they know can’t do anything about the underlying problem of capitalism, so they just lash out against the symptoms of the system.
