Fake ass protest. Conservatives love AI. The cool new shill tactic is to pretend to be anti-AI or “concerned about AI” so they can hijack the conversation and re-direct people’s focus away from actual change and regulation. They bring up do-nothing solutions like “Local LLMs” or a there being a “public stake” in the industry. Lemmy is absolutely thick with these cockroaches.

Holy shit that site is cancer, both visually and politically. I would love to be involved in a mass protest against AI, but I'd rather not feel obligated to punch a Nazi in the process.

Occupy Wall Street taught us one thing; trying to cooperate with conservatives is like trying to fuck a cactus. In theory, it could fit in that hole. In practice, it'll do more damage than anything else.

> Humans First is a conservative social movement that is dedicated to ensuring that the future of AI is in the hands of everyday people. That doesn't sound anti-AI to me.

Man, even when they're doing something good, they still have to frame it as "I come first!"

Guess I’ll have to ask AI to draw the state lines in on that map…

lefties should use it as an opportunity for solidarity.

This feels super weird. Would they turn liberals away if they showed up? (Or at least tell them to go protest across the street because “this side is for anti-globalists” or whatever.) I dunno, just seems odd to try to create a popular movement specifically by alienating people who would agree with them on that particular issue.
