@tbortels @nik @adafruit I think the mob is mostly riled because of the idiotic way in which Adafruit decided to response to the initial mistake.

Besides that I think we agree. My problem with AI is mainly that it's mostly controlled by a few assholes. With the insane resource requirements being a close second.

@tbortels @nik @adafruit AI is just a tool. AI as it is being deployed today is speed running climate change, stealing from society, and solidifying the control of the tech oligarchs. That's the stuff people take offense with and also kind of a huge thing, so some people get very upset.

@adafruit People who use AI are disliked and called out by many people, regardless of sex or gender. Stross made a dumb mistake, but this blog post is just as bad. Can we just collectively drop this stupid shit before it gets even dumber?
