And beyond LLMs you have decision making algos, surveillance, resource allocation etc which are entirely functional or entirely harmful depending on whether you're the one deploying them or the one subject to them.

Even 'replacing alternative methods' is too broad. AI may be able to replace human involvement in certain functions. LLMs as we have them though are be focused on and touted as replacements for those functions that are necessary to human experience and wellbeing.

AI is a completely nebulous term, 'it's bad' can be a helpful coverall when discussing it within the context of social understanding. Where the hype train has created a popular conception that focuses on LLMs. Otherwise it's too broad to be useful.

AI generally. Most of those issues relate, in varying degrees, to dehumanisation, that relates to the cultural and social spheres. Public or private the negatives are the same (though different in form). AI can have narrow, technical applications but that has nothing to do with the current range

Dehumanisation, draw to mediocrity, labour exploitation, bias, unaccountability, unreliability, deskilling, plagiarism, social alienation, natal alienation, authoritarianism.

Also noticed a random Ian Bone name drop over the 10 Foot piece above Lidl. Camberwell anarchists out and about.

Wonder what the police history of undercover officers in protest groups is like? No doubt completely proper and innocuous...

That last line reads more as a compliment tbh.

Typical North London behaviour. Wouldn't see that on the civilised side of the river.

They all tried very hard to maintain the system which created Trump.

add your own resistance to the whole. Come and share how that works and when you've done it, don't just lament the fact that other people haven't suddenly organised en masse to do it for you.
