The usual left/right haven't managed to pick a side and consume this. Maybe they still will. I don't know who would get which side though. A cynical part of me

The usual left/right haven't managed to pick a side and consume this. Maybe they still will. I don't know who would get which side though.
A cynical part of me says it's something everybody can hate. I can see both sides taking that. I can't see either side embracing it as part of the left or right identity.
Maybe more it's a conflict between those with power and those without. Like return to office, or open offices, or cubicles before that, and probably many other things back to the luddites and earlier.
- tw04 6mo agoThe right is desperately trying to figure out how to get their commoners onboard but the only narrative they’ve got so far is: this will help us kill “terrorists. That story is ringing pretty hollow when the orange one campaigned on no new wars and they’re trying to blame AI for their decision to bomb an Iranian school.
- lamasery 6mo agoIt's not just "AI", people hate big tech in general. The overwhelming reaction I saw to the news that an Amazon datacenter got droned was "why is Iran helping us, and do they need coordinates for some other ones?" and I'd say not more than half that sentiment was because of AI. Major tech companies are basically all widely hated, and not just in a "ha ha Microsoft, blue screens, LOL" way but in an "I wish they would suffer actual, lasting harm in the actual real world" way.
