the prospect of righteously murdering hens doesn't create the same sense of satisfaction for the aggrieved upper-middle class crusaders

Quote :

"Once you successfully designate your enemy as Nazi, as fascist, as settler, as genocider AI zealot, as embodiment of absolute evil, several things happen simultaneously: traditional moral restraints (of so-called Christian bourgeois morality, Muslim traditional morality, etc.) dissolve entirely. You are not merely permitted but required to oppose them by any means necessary. Restraint becomes complicity; proceduralism becomes collaboration; mercy becomes betrayal of victims. Any form of sense or moderation becomes part of the original oppression. Then the violence becomes aestheticized. The suffering inflicted is no longer a tragic necessity but righteous, sexy spectacle, something to be witnessed, recorded, celebrated, even enjoyed. This leads to cruelty itself becoming virtue-signaling. The extremity of violence you’re willing to inflict becomes proof of your moral commitment. Restraint suggests insufficient recognition of evil; moderation implies moral weakness; calls for mercy reveal hidden sympathy with monsters. So, the pleasure in suffering becomes sanctifying. You demonstrate your righteousness precisely through your capacity to enjoy the Nazi’s pain without guilt, to experience their suffering as aesthetic pleasure and moral affirmation simultaneously. Your enjoyment becomes evidence of your virtue rather than warning of your corruption."

Why is it the people who don't like something are the problem and not the people who are shoving the thing they dislike without any attempt to convince then its good?

Remember when power (that we endlessly criticize) used to at least pretend to manufacture consent

Also the same folks building the data centers worked very hard to scuttle renewable energy efforts and spike non renewable costs.

How aren't those people against it not the problem? Why can't you convince us it is bad?

I don't think there is anything that could convince you that it's bad at this point.

To be clear, it's not AI itself that's bad and I don't think anyone is saying that, it's the unbridled capitalistic lust that is fueling these handful of companies who are helmed by people who seem to lack an ounce of empathy and come across as soulless ghouls.

Do you think they care about the environment they're destroying or problems they're creating? I mean, the defense that some of you were making about grok posting CSAM was 'oh well, society is going to do that' rather than 'Maybe we they should take it down and figure out how to make it not as easy to obtain that content'
