    I think reasonable people know it won’t work like that and ultimately you can’t make this stuff without humans.

    The real answer is remembering that ALL of this stuff, even the farms full of AI running Nvidia cards are RUN BY HUMANS.

    The “means of production” (I’m sure that won’t piss brigaders off) is still controllable by the masses.

    Like wake the fuck up. Either you sleep walk into a few decades long mess of boring LLM stuff and destroyed commercial art. Or you form unions at every level.

    Right from the power company that cuts power to poor areas to power server farms or the developers at EA writing the pipelines for LLM training.

    Every single group needs to say no or stop or whatever.

    It’s totally possible. Anyone that tells you differently is stealing from you and destroying your future.

    Anyone one of you reading this that could get affected by this (can’t think of anyone who isn’t honestly) needs to stop and take 20 mins to find something to do about it, or you’re just complicit by inaction. (And in my mind a shitty person)
