She could be holding a Pravda on one hand and some dank Communist memes on the other for even more effect. lol
@yogthos Generative AI companies are tied directly to fascist organizations and government. Their aesthetic is tied strongly to far-right movements. They are not a tool for us; you may as well say Volkswagen and that Nazi Propaganda Gothic German font are our tools.
Nobody is talking about using US based generative AI companies tied to fascist organizations. There are plenty of open source models and companies from China that are readily available. This technology is absolutely a tool for us, and ignoring it simply give advantage to the fascists.
May I ask if you could point to a compiled list of them for the uninitiated and tech illiterate?
@yogthos Stable Diffusion is open source, too. And it doesn't matter where you got it from when it comes to the fash aesthetic, which this only serves to normalize and to make left-wing pseudo-content that is significantly easier to muddy and appropriate.
And...people don't want it. The only people for whom it would be effective agitprop are the backward group.
What crack are you on? You can build and run completely local SD models for any need you possibly have. As a matter of fact I do exactly that. Not everyone is using bigCorpAI out there
If we're gonna engage on shortform content platforms (and I think we should) then minimizing the amount of labor spent (wasted) doing so seems tactical. Effort asymmetry has always been a disadvantage for leftists, since fash and libs can just pump out absolute nonsense garbage.
We've seen how effective recuperating Soviet aesthetics has been. Brainrot edits with commie aesthetics (new idea for a username) get engagement.
