    Right? Why aren’t leftists embracing the environmentally-destructive mechanism the techbro billionaires are using to simultaneously enrich themselves and enslave humanity?

    lol no… many leftists are very outspoken on AI, like my friends at Tech Workers Coalition

    the article uses “Democratic Party” as a synonym of “leftist” 🙄

    Article claims leftists aren’t engaging with AI in a meaningful way.

    It lists people and groups it disagrees with, and then… Doesn’t engage with those disagreements in a meaningful way.

    Did anyone here actually read the article? I think it was pretty reasonable and am worried that the future of LLMs/AI will be determined largely by people who hold very, very different fundamental values than me regarding compassion and equity. I think part of my worry comes from people (often on the left and from the US, but I am biased in what parts of the internet I frequent) dismissing AI as a fad which will soon go away and which will certainly not have a large impact on the world for a long while.

      Sadly you cant expect large comms on Lemmy to do anything that reflexivly up/down vote anything negative/positive about AI, no matter how insightful or nuanced. It’s pretty ironic for this article in particular given that the same refusal to engage is its topic.
