everyone needs to be anti-ai. AI is going to rob people of their humanity/consciousness. you do not need ai to do simple basic tasks/thoughts. it's okay to take things slow to figure things out.
Charlie Stayt, "You said Andy Burnham is too in hock to vested interests to deliver real change. You haven't given him a chance, have you, he hasn't even started?"
Zack Polanski, "If he does do the right things I'll be the first to applaud him"
"He's appointed James Purnell as chief of staff. This is a man who is a corporate lobbyist for private water companies"
"When we have water companies pumping sewage into our rivers and charging us extra for the privilege, this doesn't seem a good start"
"Then we know Josh Simons hired a private investigator to look into a journalist who was talking about undeclared donations for Labour Together"
"And finally, the only substantial thing he's voted on as an MP in the last week, is to support Shabana Mahmood's regressive immigration reforms. Including asking asylum seekers to review their cases every 30 months. That's deeply inhumane for people fleeing war and persecution"
"Andy Burnham might surprise me and move in a more progressive direction and I'd really welcome that"
"But the rumours of appointing Shabana Mahmood as Chancellor, a politician who cites Margaret Thatcher as one of her political heroes"
"This doesn't sound like we're moving in a direction to end ripoff Britain, it looks like more of the same"
I think you are misrepresenting the data.
Even the article you link to says "entry-level job growth has flatlined for those workers most exposed to AI" and includes the graph below.
And Brynjolffson et al. (2025) pointed to "early large-scale evidence consistent with generative AI disproportionately impacting entry-level workers".
I don't think we can say confidently either way what the impact on jobs from this tech will be: there is already evidence pointing both ways (consistent with it being too early to tell).
It feels misleading to suggest it has been "confirmed in the data" that AI tools will not "cost jobs".
What about visual artists? Animators? Photographers? Filmmakers? Or writers? Journalists? Musicians?
Artists in Japan need to start making noise and speak out. The life's work of every artist in Japan has been stolen by tech companies to profit off of, fight back. AI is THEFT.
We urgently need enforced disclosure of AI usage in TV shows & other media.
These AI models use stolen work to displace human labour.
It is reasonable to demand disclosures that let you avoid media made with them.
Generative AI is built on the stolen art, photos, videos, films, voices, music, writing, journalism, private data, and so on of countless people. It's nothing short of theft.
They saved money by hiring fewer concept and VFX artists, period. Because the AI stole from them.
A very annoying thing that happens now is that people who know nothing about a subject will "consult" AI, get the wrong information, and then try to "correct" you on a subject you actually know something about. They treat AI like the Oracle of Delphi
@TimSweeneyEpic no its really not. we're not going anywhere. the majority of people hate AI and we're going to keep being a thorn in yours and everyone elses side Tim until you all get the message.
My hottest take is that while the environmental impacts of generative AI are awful, to convince people to stop using it, you should talk about how its anti-human. Humans are defined by curiosity, socializing, creativity, all hurt by AI. Also its proven to cause cognitive decline
