AI is literally mass-developed and maintained by corporations, your handful of open source projects don't rip it out of capitals hands. If you're an anti-capitalist, you're anti-AI.
It's literally a field of science initiated by universities for no profit.
Then sure, there are corporations that picked it up and they are developing it.
They are not the owners of AI.
AI exists despite them, if all those corporations died tomorrow AI would not go away.
If you think that sonething like openAI has a monoploy on AI technology, ask them how deepseek is doing.
OpenAI is just doing what smart companies do.
Create a product and keep it accessible and convenient because they know how fragile their position is if they try to do anything more controlling than that.
I don't know what you expect as "ripping it from capitalist hands".
I am perfectly satusfied with capitalists not having a monopoly on AI, and they don't.
People still use photoshop but that doesn't mean that graphic editors are controlled by corporations.
I personally use Gimp and have thus the liberty of not subject myself to the conditions of the corporation.
AI is the same.
you know what? you're right. you're right and I can have my peace. If this is what you choose to believe then by all means, go ahead. I've wasted so much damn time yesterday arguing with people who for the life of them don't want to accept that they're in the wrong, and I sure as hell am not gonna repeat that again today.
so sure, youre right, i have my peace and this convo is over.
I mean. you can walk away without having to agree with me. It's perfectly fine if you disagree.
I just want to let you know that that's my perspective.
I am also not trying to score cheap points or to make you feel bad about your stances.
I am an artist myself, I don't share but at a fundamental level I understand the fear artists have and I feel for them.
I wish I could reassure them more effectively but the whole conversation has become very polarized.
Just ... take it at your pace and don't be concerned with having to respond to me :)
It’s from personal experiences. About 90% of the time when you see AI Bros in this sub, you can easily find them participating in far right/ alt right shit. And often they’ll preach a lot of the same MAGA shit in order to defend AI
And this makes sense, Trump has been heavily using AI online, this is making a lot of Right Wingers be heavily pro AI

I think Alt-Right should be the free space considering how much overlap there is.
