A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I keep seeing dbzer0.com paired with some unhinged opinions. Is it a good site to block in general, or should I continue my current trajectory of just blocking the names I see making these opinions public?
dbzer0.com is a good instance for things like piracy, privacy and other "non-standard" uses of technology. It is very anarchist.
So many people use "anarchism" in their identity that I just don't trust it. I mean there's anarcho-capitalists for starters... If there's a strong culture of pro-AI there, thought, that may be enough on its own to just get rid of them.
In my opinion dbzer0 is an important instance in the fediverse, along with blajah, shit.just.works, and even hexbear (which I blocked). These are instances that cater to communities that have no place in corporate social media. Thankfully, we have options to block users, communities or entire instances. If you find AI offensive (I find it useless and wasteful), you should absolutely block those communities, but dbzer0 is not an pro-AI instance as a whole and I think you would be missing out on very useful content. IMHO
I started off strongly disagreeing but you make a good point. I think I would honestly be "happy" to see something like /r/conservative move to a decentralized platform (though that might be a bad example because it's purpose is more of a propoganda-spreader than a true "community").
The consolation of social media into giant "cath all" dumpster fires forces everyone to engage, or at least be exposed to, shit like nazis.
Right exactly. A "community" like /r/conservative can't really exist on the Fediverse in the same way because it's current function depends on outsiders to engage with.
I miss the days when white supremacists were relegated to shitty forums like stormfront.
Unruffled, the second in command admin, has also pulled this bullshit of banning people for criticising AI. It's absolutely a pro-AI instance.
Definitely not ayn-cap.
I don't think there's a strong "AI" scene there. They just have a sub for generated art.
