I am fucking tired of AI. I am fucking tired of my in-laws trying to show me the things their son, "made," with AI. I am fucking tired of explaining why I won't take an AI centric job for any amount of money. I am fucking tired of people telling me how AI has helped them, "learn," new concepts. I am fucking tired of hearing people say, "I use it to make pictures with my grandchildren!"
I am so fucking tired of the blatant theft of every bit of intellectual property on the planet, whether it was bolted down or not. I am fucking tired of the wholesale distillation of human thought and achievement into a sludge of on-demand dopamine boosting energy drink.
I am so fucking tired of the datacenters. I am so fucking tired of hearing how it is going to solve global warming, while it continues to contribute to global fucking warming. I am fucking tired of the endless cycle of hype being the only profit center with regard to AI. I am fucking tired of watching farmland turn to concrete blocks that generate pollution and stupid.
I am so fucking tired of people telling me it is a useful tool. I am so tired of being reminded to check AI's work, because it often makes mistakes. I am fucking tired of hearing that AI is going to democratize things such as art, music, and software development. I am fucking tired of watching people I thought were intelligent succumb to the idiocy of AI tools.
I am so fucking tired of playing the, "Is it AI slop or not?" game every time I see, hear, or read something. I am fucking tired of random phone calls with AI agents on the other end. I am so fucking tired of being told it has beneficial uses. I am fucking tired of being told that these tools are here to stay. I am fucking tired of being told that I will be left behind.
And if you use AI tools, I am so completely and utterly fucking tired of you.
Believe me you're not alone... -
Yeah, I know what a data center is. I fucking work in this fucking industry, I have been working in data centers for over 25 years now. I am not against data centers.
I am against AI data centers. I am against mega data centers. The data centers we need to maintain the Internet and established, useful technologies draws a tiny fraction of the resources AI data centers consume.
I'm not against technology, I'm against AI. We don't need AI. AI is a net negative technologically, socially, economically, and environmentally.
Feel free to fuck off if you disagree.

@thomrstrom @nuintari As a fellow disabled person (autism, ADHD & psoriatic arthritis) you have to know that one of the roots of what we call AI today is eugenics.
I just cannot support something built by people who want to see me erased.
I don't think this period will be looked on favorably or as merely an aesthetic period. At all.
The harms being done at scale are incredible.

@nuintari
On Youtube, the AI-generated content is everywhere, and people don't even recognize it. Even when it is pointed out to them, many deny it.In the Netherlands, government ministers have delivered AI-generated speeches:
https://nos.nl/nieuwsuur/artikel/2630516-jetten-deed-het-op-sociale-media-deze-kabinetsleden-schreven-hele-speeches-met-ai -
@ArrowbearMoore @nuintari the amount of energy required to drive the current hype cycle pales the amount required to run previous generation global networks and compute.
It is absolutely mind boggling that this can be even legal for what's happening right now.
Even the new gas plants planned for the gigantic hypothetical data centers shadow the most intense industry relying on fossil electricity. It is absolutely unbelievable that this even gets approved by governments.
This must not happen!
@ChrisUplus unbelievable yet on brand.
Maybe the high energy prices will break this even sooner.

@nuintari when it's all queued up like that, i'm reminded of Quatermass 4, part of the plot of which was that some unspeakable alien intelligence had subtly reprogrammed humans to act to make society break down.

@ChrisUplus bleak indeed. But just like the data center projects they are supposed to power I doubt the majority will ever get built.
AI companies can only continue to ignore the reality of the situation until they need to fork over hard cash for buildings, gensets, and servers. We already see how well this is going for oracle. Their cost of borrowing has gone up monumentally.

@nuintari LLMs are tools of fascism made by fascists, I need people to remember this so they know the mindset behind them and why the purpose of a system is what it does.

@nuintari @mike Oh, not *every* bit of intellectual property, though; ask one of the big LLMs to make something involving a copyrighted character owned by a huge corporation and you’ll be blocked, because as with everything else it’s “protection for me, not for thee”. And that might be the thing about them that pisses me off the most: the utter hypocrisy. They vacuum up every bit of content they can find, while simultaneously screaming “INFRINGEMENT” if you dare do the same.

@nuintari I drove past the two Montgomery County hyperscale data center projects in central Missouri about a month ago. Both projects take up one square mile of prime farm land. I was completely stunned by the size and scale when I drove by them on the Interstate for the first time. When it takes nearly a minute to go past them at 70 MPH, something is definitely wrong. I think a lot of people just can't comprehend the scale of these massive projects.

@nuintari I've had to tell 2 coworkers to never send me advice or suggestions based on LLM output. These two have each done this a couple of times and both times it was complete garbage that wasted my time. I'm also having some success getting my 10 year old nephew to realize they are a waste of his time.
