Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

its almost always peddling how its great.
Not in my experience
The only thing people talk about more than AI is politics.
Even if AI is an enabling technology that solves many problems, it is also a potentially a horrific totalitarian tool. And the consumers must be protected. By this I mean, they must not be allowed to centralize too much and regional and local services established. And the consumers must have an offline PC, in which some services work detached from this thing. They can still use the services on some other PC. The purpose is to protect spaces for being human, centralization that i heard bezos wish for is the absolute worst scenario.
I mean, I dunno about your circles but from my end it’s been a constant topic of discussion ad nauseam.
There's an entire anti-ai community on Lemmy (fuck ai). It shows up on my main page regularly.
or the fact that AI is being propped by govt as a surveillance tool, much like palintir is doing right now.
Discussions about ai are all over; it’s makin me puke.
I can tell you that I am not entirely happy about AI myself. But we cannot "un-invent" it? So we must deal with it, unfortunately.
We can uninvent it. At least on the scale it's currently being pushed. You just need regulations on the environmental impact. It completely undermines the technology.
The shift in the labor force will be different from previous tech revolutions, it will hit those with education, not manual laborers. That means that jobs that have traditionally been occupied by immigrants will be more sought after. This is a secondary reason for the anti-immigrant views now prevalent in the us. Then there is this wish they have to centralize their Ai, and when movies become autogenerated, to have us watch them in their centralized brainwashing cash cow. They are slashing budgets as if their life depended on it, and building huge solar powered data centers for this in Texas and other sunny places.
Is this in a particular context because I see tons of comments and debates on it. Maybe part of that is the multiple concerns. energy, corp control, supply chain issues, etc. Anything that talks about all sorta waters down each part and anything that talks about a part is not talking about other significant issues.
Make sure you are checking the all feed, because most of the anti-AI discussion happens on !fuck_ai@lemmy.world (then scroll past the first 4 pinned posts). It does spill to various technology communities as well. Locally only on our !pcgaming@lemmy.ca does AI become relevant.
There's a lot more of it on Mastodon than Lemmy, ime. Check out Mastodon
