Anti-genAI art platform Cara has been scraped a second time and the AI bros are taking sheer perverse joy in the distress it’s causing the artists who contribute to the platform

      The trait all assholes share isn’t their religion, race, gender, sex, neurological status, or social class.

      It’s that they’re fucking assholes.

          Oh, get off your high horse. Tell me you’ve never once trolled someone on the internet.

            Destroying someone’s online safety and torching whatever job security they might try to cling to for a laugh does not constitute “”“trolling”“”, shitbag.

            Go touch grass for a while, and contemplate how you became such a contemptible human being.

              You should follow your own advice. Becoming a lolcow is not gonna stop slop jockeys from trolling artists.

    Yeah that “speedrunning” shit is not autism. That’s just being an asshole. An autistic person would probably know the difference, which I guess is ironic.

    This makes me wonder why we haven’t yet seen an AI bro beaten into a bloody pulp for being an AI bro. The artist community sure has a lot of patience.

    Just to weigh in here- as an autistic person myself one of the things I love about computers is how predictable and repeatable they are. Yes, I know that bit flipping and memory errors exist, but compared to human brains computers are consistent and beautiful. I largely try to model my own mind on how computers work.

    I find AI to be absolutely disgusting for how it violates this. All of the other issues are important but solvable (the economic and social impact, the environmental impact, copyright issues, safety guardrails, etc). Like, I dont expect any of then to be fully solved but I could imagine a world where they are mostly solved. They are technical and legal challenges. Renewable energy infrastructure, universal basic income, reverting copyright law to pre-Disney levels, and a bit of responsible stewardship could do wonders (though I dont expect any of that to actually happen). The core concept of making computers less certain is not solvable, but a fundamental aspect of the design that I find abhorrent.

    For people that like messing with technology, couldn’t writing an AI poisoner software also hit the same dopamine spot?
