No hate to anyone who attended the protests. I'm just pissed at these fuckers who are clearly too used to politics where actual people at the protest with you are top down chess pieces on a board and not your fucking comrades.
Everyone at the Utah event deserved better than to rely on these fucks.

Seriously these people thinking they can have perfect protest discipline without doing any of the work by just having special protest cops at the scene to herd the crowd like it's a kindergarten are a fucking disgrace.

and maybe learn a few lessons about how organizing mass community action doesn't work if you police YOUR OWN ATTENDEES
If you're doing a manifestation and just inviting anyone who shows up, then you no longer control what happens after and you need to make peace with that.

this is just a basic ux read, my ontological/epistemic/political economy thoughts are not ready for prime time right now. but even just at the ux/average user level, chatgpt is a _wildly_ irresponsible product deployment and i know this is not news, im just continually surprised at how bad it is.

just a truly shocking amount time, and you absolutely need expert knowledge of the field you are working with it on, and you have to constantly reinforce and police behavioral parameters and run repeated behavior audits.

one complicated thought: out of the box/on the free tier, chatgpt is a dangerous product for the majority of users, in that it is capable of doing real harm, mostly invisibly. it takes a _huge_ amount of time and effort to resolve into a useful tool and the system basically fights you the whole way.

basically if you do not have an extremely resilient sense of self/theory of mind and a strong willingness to repeatedly impose behavioral rules on the agent, extended interaction with the free tier of chatgpt is designed to make you psychotic. its psycho-affectively akin to licking a car battery

I don't think I've said anything wrong, I asked whether you went I didn't assume you did not.
I just don't know what we gain from condemning these events wholesale for lack of radicalism

It's not like I don't think the organizers at many locations across the country were, to put it mildly, complete headasses who clearly don't know what they're doing.
But like, are *we* gonna wait for them to stop being complete headasses or are we gonna try to direct this energy better?

I don't know why it's up to me to go "damn, we should've been better" since I didn't organize it, I'm just not hostile at the fact that it happened and I think we're better off being glad it did and trying to take advantage of it than complaining that the organizers maybe aren't radical enough.

the peace police at the peaceful protest peacefully opening fire in a crowd to peacefully gun down bystanders bc they got scared of someone who they thought might be a "provocateur" is exactly why those fucking conspiracy theories & rumors of "outside agitators" are fucking dangerous

This is a perfectly appropriate response to being whitejacketed when your family's in danger of being bombed, actually.

did *you* happen to go to your local protest and try to recruit people into the local activist actions of your preference?
Cause I agree, these are a great recruitment vector.
