I can’t take seriously any discussion of AI that doesn’t include slavery . It’s just not useful to me or even the discourse And not because of my own biases ( though I’m open about them) But you cant seriously be challenging the Tech bros if you don’t admit they want slaves WHEN THEY SAY SO
Helen of Troy and Athena being Black in the Odyssey is breaking folks brains The most beautiful woman and the goddess of war , the prescribed “causes” of this war Are Black women and its leading to an AI meltdown Chris Nolan is dreadfully on the nose and FOLKS STILL MISSING IT
Sam Altman is calling for the US to lead AI because our legal system has been reconfigured quickly to allow for unequal results to be seen as successful in ways that other countries and basic science would not
The reason we can’t have a real public AI discussion is because we completely dropped the rope on cultural appropriation . I can’t say where the conversation would have went but we can’t argue that the labor of a lifetime matters and avoid saying the labor of generations does as well
You also do understand AI will over index on Black womens for “internet speak” because much of marketing has depended on stealing Black women’s linguistics
The rise of AI problems and its difficulties are linked to the racism we don’t address and the supposed resisting beneficiaries are being almost as weird as the tech bros about it
People are shocked folks don’t understand the problem with citations and AI scraping… When almost all media now is people being told that as long as you have a big enough brand … It doesn’t matter if you pull your content whole sale from another person if you “credit” it
Kids aren’t just unknowing sweet little lambs just dealing with anxiety They know cheating esp in curve based courses isn’t just about them . It will also screw over their classmates not making that part of the discussion is how we got AI in the first place.
It’s kind of like Doctorow getting two books out on AI and enshittification but not admitting that he was telling people to put AAVE and Black cultural product into a tech That by his own measure would devolve … but he’s willing to try on our centuries of culture
Marvel should be going all in on Mojoverse and the price of the internet AI/ social media . We should be have the Longshot/ Dazzler mivie about recognizing being engineered for the system while also being privileged by it a la the Hunger games
