“I’m gravitating away from the discourse of measuring and fixing unfair algorithmic systems, or making them more transparent, or accountable. Instead, I’m finding myself fixated on articulating the moral case for sabotaging, circumventing, and destroying “AI”[…]” Ok, I’m listening.

Personally, between the glue pizzas and the cataclysmic energy consumption, I say this was a nice effort but like most things in 2024, a scam.

Every day I wake up insulted that we, full grown adults on planet earth, are expected to take this seriously.

I made a joke early on claiming that I was in possession of a highly advanced artificial intelligence with savant-like mathematical powers (my calculator)

Only as long as we don't forget what the Butlerian jihad was really about. The second half of the history that usually isn't quoted is the important part. It wasn't a revolt against AI, it was against the abuse of centralized power. AI was just *the* tool of convenience to facilitate said abuse.

What's being promoted as "AI" today is just statistics applied at an extremely broad and completely blind way. Rubes praise their behavior as "creative" when it's just a mix of wild edge and corner cases and false positives.
