For me the real, tangible consequence of all the AI hate is that I’m currently being blocked out of dealer’s dens at furry conventions which was the main way I was able to directly connect with my readers and actually talk to them. So, it’s been incredibly isolating.
Made myself laugh the other day working on a grocery list wondering if I had any “fresh” miso.
I think it comes from how profound AI has been for my thinking and expression. With AI, I feel more in touch with my true self. I feel more actualized to be a complete, productive, meaningful person.
It feels so intimate to receive hate for that.
I’m trans. I am visibly queer. I am sometimes a really unpleasant and disagreeable asshole.
But I still have never experienced such wanton, gleeful hatred as I have from anti-ai folks. It is so strong, so assured, so complete. It’s really disturbing and bewildering. I can’t comprehend it.
Obviously I’ve seen a lot of horrors in this world. But I’ve always been comforted by saying “We’re better than that” thinking I had enlightened peers bound by reason and compassion.
But I don’t think that ever really existed. Like we’re all just a fit and rage away from the worst of humanity.
Alarming new study claims Magneton can raise temperatures by 3.6F within 3300 feet, affecting millions.
It makes me want to give up on the human race. It’s a darkness beyond anything I’ve ever experienced personally. It feels like that sort of behavior says so much about what little continuity and security any of us have in a supposedly civilized society.
