It's embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.

    Read the whole thing. Couldn’t find any mention of LW. Mind to be more specific of where it is?

        That paragraph:

        AI is a cruel technology. It replaces workers, devours millions of gallons of water, vomits CO2 into the atmosphere, propagandises exclusively for the worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity. Cruelty is the central tenet of right wing ideology. It is at the heart of everything they do. They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this – a mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good. (This is no exaggeration: there is a lineage from OpenAI’s senior management back to the Lesswrong blog, originator of the concept of Roko’s Basilisk.) Moreso even than cryptocurrency, AI is entirely nihilistic, with zero redeeming qualities. It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop it has generated in the past two or three years.

        I don’t see them saying lemmy.world, or lemmy for that matter.

            I don’t see lemmy.world there, or lemmy for that matter.

            The words with l and w in ther that I do see are:

            • world

            • willing

            • will

              Okay. Now that you’ve identified four candidates that LW might refer to, which of these do you think it is?

              If you selected the obviously correct answer, congratulations. You have learned to apply context clues to understand unfamiliar abbreviations.

              If you chose anything else…furrfu. I guess I pity anyone who ever attempts to hold a conversation with you.

                froztbyte@awful.systems stated LW was an abreviation of Lemmy World.

                The are not any references to Lemmy or lemmy.world in that paragraph.

                All instances of “world” in the paragraph:

                worst ideologies, and fills the world with more ugliness and stupidity

                willing to lose money or their lives in order to make the world a crueller place, and AI is a part of this

                It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop

                None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world

                All instances of “willing” in the paragraph:

                They are now quite willing to lose money or their lives

                It does not refer to lemmy or lemmy.world

                All instances of “will” in the paragraph:

                mad rush to make a machine god that will liberate capital from labour for good

                It is a blight upon the world, and it will take decades to clear up the mountains of slop

                None of the refer to lemmy or lemmy.world

                The only word left is LessWrong, which is a forum with absolutely nothing to do with Lemmy or lemmy.world as far as I can tell.
