"US law enforcement warns of 'anti-tech extremism' as AI hatred grows" So I am critical of a lot of tech and of capitalism which makes me an extremist in the US now. Cool and very normal. arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/u...

"But you can't deny that it's useful" is what I hear often when I criticize "AI". But that's not the argument because everything is useful to someone for some purpose usually at someone's cost. "Child labor" is _useful_. Question is: Do the uses bring more social value than the cost?
Just occurred to me: When you _SEARCH_ you want to _FIND_ _AN EXISTING THING_. Like the idea of adding "generative" into that literally makes no sense.
We sometimes fall into the trap of distinguishing art from "AI" slop based on the effort and work the artist put in. But of course that's not fully it: You can spend a lot of time iterating with an LLM and it's probably still not art.
(I know it's not the intention but seeing someone post something cool here about anything and then seeing the "AI hater" Tag just makes me happy. Like every person with an interesting perspective of fascinating hobby carries that tag.)
