of course you can use AI for good. but AI as it is is VC funded and plutocrat controlled
so it pushes plutocrat political and economic agendas to our detriment
the issue is not that we don't recognize the positive potential of a technology. every technology *can* have a positive impact, that's braindead obvious and thus without merit as an observation
the problem is you don't acknowledge the bulk of AI is used for bigotry and fascism
until that changes, like crypto, AI is shit

@benroyce @dsp @torgo Curious about open LLM models that people can keep on their own equipment and use personally; trained on open data, and not snooping on everyone’s activity, as mentioned in articles like this: https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/25/ai-might-be-our-best-shot-at-taking-back-the-open-web/ Is there enough will and talent to pull our information, social media, and even these away from corporate silos?
