Most people don't care. The idea of hating ai barely exists out of white majority countries and even there most people just shrug unless they are terminally online. You have to be in a really tiny circlejerk to think the average person has a strong opinion about it at all.
Such a midwit take. "AI is a vaguely political issue, so you can't complain about far-left extremist celebration and justification of the murder of their political enemy in an anti-AI forum."
You're going from a non-partisan discussion of a social/economic topic to explicitly partisan, extremist rhetoric. There's clearly an escalation there.
Well if he didn't want people to laugh at him dying, maybe he shouldn't have said things like "It's worth it for people to die for the second amendment" and then proceed to die via gunshot
I don't believe he should've been shot, but I cannot bring myself to give a shit that he was. Also, the whole "pro- people dying for gun rights person dies by gun violence" thing is very funny. Like "noooo it was supposed to be OTHER people dying for my right to bear arms!!!!!"
In the span of two messages you go from "he had it coming," to "he shouldn't have been shot," to "I don't care," to "I find his death humorous." Those are all inherently contradictory statements.
I feel all of those things about his death, yes. Do you never have conflicting feelings about something? How simple of a life you must have to only think one thing about a given topic
It's been a political issue for a while now. I think it's just because of how many artists are on the left, conservatives started being like "well, if the commies hate AI, it must be a good thing!"
Oh, I know this. But it still makes it a political issue. Plenty of political issues don't actually matter to everybody on either side, but ends up becoming an issue. Most people I know, left or right, don't honestly give two shits about Israel or Palestine, but it's still a political issue.
Stats show that political leanings don't really influence your views on ai much at all. The idea that it's split along political lines is largely a myth. People see an alt right person use ai but gloss over all the pastors who got offended that they saw a Jesus chatbot and started preaching that ai is the devil.
I unsubbed from there because it's an unmodded sub. Rules clearly state ai images need to be censored, but they literally never are and its never enforced. It quickly became just another ai slob posting subreddit.
Meh itās not clear cut. Iām a leftist and I think AI is great and vitally important. AI companies suck, but not because they are āstealing artistsā work.ā The amount a single artist contributes is negligible. I donāt believe in strict IP laws anyway.
The biggest reason they suck is BECAUSE they steal artworks AND work in general from artists in the first place. Other reasons is because theyāre costly, environmentally damaging due to excess resource consumption, and are overall way lower quality than actual art. This is some Pro-AI bologna.
Iām aware thatās what you believe. I donāt dislike them for that reason. I donāt think artists have a right to keep their publicly available art from being used to train AI. I think intellectual property is already too intense. I think every AI company should be forced to be open source too however, because Iām consistent.
I dislike them because they are trying to control the world, block out competitors, and make sure they canāt be regulated by the people, and are barreling us to risky uncharted territory with reckless abandon.
Yes, competition is the problem. Not everything else. Shouldnāt expect more from a Pro-AI user. You guys tend to not be very bright to begin with if youāre already defending AI despite the damages it causes.
same i hate ai with a passion, but in typical reddit fashion they had to insert unrelated political stuff untill the point the subreddit became unbearable. but even i didnt expect they would celebrate political assasination to this extend.
Well yeah, a big part of the AntiAI movement are artists, musicians, writers and other creatives. Guess what side of the political spectrum they occupy?
Woah really!

I thought this was about stonetoss until I saw it was kirk.
Does Stonetoss use AI?
Once
Just unsubbed from r/ politics, too much political content.
I mean supporting political murder is not the same as talking about AI in society, seems pretty basic logic
I think opposing AI is political mate
i suppose but not im gonna celebrate political assasination kind of political
Not really basically most people hate it the only ones that like it are the ones that invested money into it like Microsoft, google and apple
That view is of the terminally online. Most people dont care or find it useful when they use it.

Theres a difference between saying he had bad views and 'celebrating' his death
Not that I expect you to get that nuance. Im sure youre just as mad about the right making Reiners murder politicized though?
I may just not be caught up but is Kirk slander inherently making fun of his death or is it just shitting on Charlie Kirk?
He got killed but he was still a loser. Youāre allowed to make fun of a dweeb who spent his whole life in the public sphere, right?
It is explicitly justifying and celebrating his death, like you are doing right now.
This has to be satire
Ironyleft freaks when they encounter someone with sincere beliefs

"We're not justifying his murder" *justifies his murder*
I don't believe he should've been shot, but I cannot bring myself to give a shit that he was. Also, the whole "pro- people dying for gun rights person dies by gun violence" thing is very funny. Like "noooo it was supposed to be OTHER people dying for my right to bear arms!!!!!"

He was shot with a hunting rifle which would not be banned by any realistic gun regulations. Hunting rifles arent banned even in Europe
No itās just Americans thinking the sun revolves around their shithole country
Not every subreddit is about American politics ffs
Jfc rent free.
Antiai has been political?
No, you see, politics are when thing I don't like exists.
The term honestly holds as much meaning as calling something woke at this point.

Heās clearly referring to the nonsense stated about Charlie Kirk, thatās politics unrelated to AI
I must've missed that part of the title.
It should be obvious
Ideally, unfortunately it isn't.
It is, you just lack basic reading comprehension, apparently
I and 75 other people according to Reddit.
Have you considered that you (and another ~25 people) just haven't seen the misuse of the term as much as we have?
There are a lot of dumb people on Reddit, pretty well known fact
Or āracistā.
Or LGBTQ+, for some reason. Because apparently being the gender you want to be is somehow political?
Even though opinions about AI are pretty evenly split along the political spectrum, terminally online people really want you to think otherwise.
Almost as if ai is a subject that's politically related
https://i.redd.it/lb9o1e1ifo8g1.gif
A good excuse to turn any sub into an infantile nazis vs. commies "discussion".
In this case both sides claim to be the communists though.
Are people intentionally being stupid? Heās clearly talking about the Charlie Kirk bit which is unrelated to AI
The average poster in this sub has a single digit IQ
They've always been political.
You don't have to be a racist apologetic to disapprove of politically inspired murder.
There are so many layers of quoting
There was always going to be politics in a subreddit about AI discourse that is is an inherently political issue
How can a sub called "AntiAi" not be political lmao
It's been a political issue for a while now. I think it's just because of how many artists are on the left, conservatives started being like "well, if the commies hate AI, it must be a good thing!"
Personally, I don't care either way.
There's plenty of conservatives who hate ai and lefist who like it so it's really a preference issue.
Oh, I know this. But it still makes it a political issue. Plenty of political issues don't actually matter to everybody on either side, but ends up becoming an issue. Most people I know, left or right, don't honestly give two shits about Israel or Palestine, but it's still a political issue.
indeed. even matt walsh hates ai generated art

Could I see these stats? Not saying I'm in disagreement. Just interested.

AntiAi just admitting they are uneducated about the subject lmao
