  • Interesting read but I ultimately don’t agree with it. I would argue that focusing on and opposing the physical infrastructure related to an industry people opposed is far more productive than focusing on federal policy for a nascent popular movement. I still think a lot of work is needed before an anti-AI movement is genuinely threatening, but a movement that threatens the vital infrastructure of its enemy and thus has the potential to understand things in terms of supply chains represent strategies with some potential.

    Secondly I don’t agree with the premise of the argument that ecological impacts are overstated. All ecological impacts of AI slop generators and the data centers and power plants necessary to run them are objectively luxury emissions. Even if they are less significant than, say, those ecological impacts produced in the steel making industry (unsure if this specific example is correct, fairly immaterial) steel is actually significantly useful to humanity so the discussion of how to reduce emissions is qualitatively different.














  • Groupings of people can just be reactionary as fuck do to their economic position.

    maybe explicitly name the class dynamic at play instead of using generational politics as a bad proxy. Homeowners are generally reactionary due to their class interests. Honeowners tend to be older. There is no magical brain change which makes one reactionary upon reaching a certain age.

    Similarly israelis are generally reactionary due to their material conditions as active settlers within the political economy of Zionism. Not due to any magic quality of theirs as the antisemites would imply


  • If you build more housing, housing prices will drop, that’s bad for white boomers, homeowners, but it would be good for broke ass millennials and Gen Zers. renters. But boomers homeowners fight tooth and nail to prevent new housing to protect their property values. A lot of them aren’t even subtle about it.

    In amerikkka and other western states homeowners tend to be older. However using age as a proxy for a class dynamic is inaccurate.
