I wish I could download this entire essay into every person’s brain

Violence is more than just hitting people.
Taking away people's agency is violence, exposing people to suffering is violence.
Violence has many shapes and forms. And
"AI" needs an acceptance of endless amounts of violence (I will not be able to list all forms of it, this is just a selection).
In order to train "AI" systems you need data.
Lots of it. And then some more. That's really hard to get legally, especially when a large part of the population does not want their creative works or the data about them to be fed into those machines. The first form of violence "AI" depends on is the violence of data acquisition: "AI" depends on scraping and accumulating all you can get - including taking against people's explicit will and without their consent. I run jocaine on my server and it's absolutely crazy to see how many Al scrapers do ignore my stated preferences and just try to take all I have ever written to train their systems. And I am not alone of course. "AI" Labs keep downloading unlicensed works like books, keep digitizing anything they can find in order to feed their data hunger. They know it's illegal and unethical but that's irrelevant.
"AI" systems exist because of the belief that
"if you can download it, you can use it". It's the belief that might makes right.

The second form of violence happens during data labeling and cleaning. Workers mostly in the global south have to spend their days looking at the worst shit you can imagine to try to keep torture content or depictions of sexualized violence against people out of the training data. This is not only economic exploitation (they get paid very little for that mentally and psychologically immensely hard job) but also a violence done to their psyche and mental health. Because we are too lazy to look for stock photos some mother in Kenya can no longer sleep due to nightmares.
The third violence we already alluded to: It's the colonialist, western view to declare whatever the west thought was "worth" digitizing or whatever submits to that logic
"all the world's knowledge". This is not just lack of representation but a forceful othering of large parts of the population of this planet. If you are not useful to western, capitalist readings of the world then you, your history, your experiences are not part of "all the world's knowledge". You are being declared a lesser human being.

The fourth violence is the violence done against marginalized groups using "AI" tools that we are just demanded to accept. This starts with the Trump administration creating racist propaganda using "AI" but it doesn't end there. The amount of abuse and sexual violence that especially women are constantly being exposed to is staggering.
"Nudify" apps, "grok, put her into a bikini" are just the most obvious of those tools. It's not that most "AI" labs explicitly support those kinds of usage but they are also not limiting usage: It's just "bad guys" or "usage violating our terms of service" but that's just a legal defense not taking responsibility for enabling that kind of abuse.

That does not mean that every user of "AI" products is therefore a fascist. Some "AI"-users might even consider themselves antifascists. But by using these systems you are integrating inherently fascist logic into your thinking, into your mental apparatus.
These systems force you to at least accept the fascist tendencies within "Al" systems as
"normal" or "okay"
And you might think that your individual usage cleanses the "AI". That you generating an illustration is somehow not accepting the logic and violence of might making right, is somehow not accepting the suffering in the global south, is somehow not accepting the undermining of trust in our society. That somehow you are not structuring the world into people whose rights and demands and needs should be met and others whose are irrelevant.
But you are moving your thinking in that direction, are creating permission structures for inhumane reasoning.

So, um, I posted on LinkedIn about how evil AI is (a hobby of mine since my network skews tech), and I’m pretty sure this guy (who is not a connection of mine) commented using AI

Our economy is a house of cards, and right now it’s balancing on a single linchpin: the creators of a technology that steals, lies and kills. (No seriously, there are multiple suicides linked to AI chatbots, not to mention the climate impacts.) I never want to be an accelerationist, and I am certainly not excited to see the fallout from this. That said, I do want to see that company and its intrusive, invasive, inhumane technology vanish. I know it won’t, that there are still websites after the dotcom bubble burst, but a person can dream.

I am vocal about this because I believe it is one of the great moral questions of our time, and I see so many people failing to grapple with it. We’ve lost sight of morality and ethics, of the reasons those concepts even matter. They’re rushing to put this into children’s toys. Children. Is there no population besides billionaires that we care to protect anymore?

Anyway, about those numbers…

“Here’s another way of thinking about the transformation under way: Multiplying Ford’s current market cap 94 times over wouldn’t quite get you to Nvidia’s. Yet 20 years ago, Ford was worth nearly triple what Nvidia was. Much like how Saudi Arabia is a petrostate, the U.S. is a burgeoning AI state—and, in particular, an Nvidia-state. The number keeps going up, which has a buoying effect on markets that is, in the short term, good. But every good earnings report further entrenches Nvidia as a precariously placed, load-bearing piece of the global economy.”

Meghan,
Your post raises imperative ethical concerns about the trajectory of our technological advancements. The analogy of the economy balancing on such precarious pillars is striking. Bringing Al into children's toys is indeed alarming and warrants urgent discussion about its long-term societal impacts. We must not lose sight of our moral responsibilities.
Thank you for voicing this critical perspective.

You know, when I saw a whole case of these, along with other themed donuts, they looked super cute. But isolated like this, in the naked lens of my shitty phone camera, it’s giving spooky American Pie
