  • Jordan Peterson has a beautiful message of cleaning your room, Andrew Tate has a beautiful message of working out, and Benito Mussolini had a beautiful message of trains running on time. If it came from an asshole - it’s shit. Don’t touch it yourself and definitely don’t spread it here.

    Are you seriously comparing the message of the Dialectical Fire song to reactionary scum like Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate and fucking Mussolini? It is very disappointing to see just another horseshoe theory crap grouping two completely different and opposing groups and messages.

    Dog, I love the coverage you share here on African affairs, particularly on Sahel States progress. I barely get that news anywhere else, and I love to see the positive developments on the planet. This is good work and I really appreciate you doing it. But please leave me out of your ai crusade, I see plenty of brave warriors on every other platform.

    I am not a dog btw but thanks. This whole exchange was very depressing to read.


  • They’re directly undercutting the whole business model of US companies that are trying to monetize this tech directly.

    Very true and the article also mentions one important aspect which is the lack profitability for the IA in the West. While working in the industry, I can see this with my own eyes:

    • This desperation of Western elites is reflected in the poor profitability of their massive investment. Investment in the sector by Western companies to date is estimated at over US$330 billion, generating gross revenues, not profits, of less than US$30 billion. The proclaimed benefits of increased productivity, other than improvements in industrial efficiency resulting from the use of robotic systems, have yet to be significantly demonstrated. On the contrary, credible surveys have found that the application of models like ChatGPT in administrative, managerial, or academic contexts can lead to unintended consequences that diminish efficiency.

    It also amazed me that some western marxists are willing to denounce AI and project western cruelty into non westerners while plenty of marxists in the Global South celebrate it and share it with joy. I really hope that westerner refusal and neo-Luddism among our comrades disappears.


  • Me calling the “communist ai video” out as ironic trash equals me ignoring the Global South?

    The video had a beautiful message and was acknowledged by plenty of people as you could see in the Youtube comments. This was also shared in plenty of Cuban Telegrams. If this AI video is helpful in raising class consciousness, then it is not trash but a helpful tool.

    And you’re begging me to, I presume, save it by watching more ai slop?

    I am begging you to acknowledge that the video wasn’t AI slop and to actually go beyond that western bias that you currently have. If a tool is useful, why not use it for the good of all of workers? Why shut down people that use that tool and project the capitalist filth into them as you did in that thread? Why assume that everyone uses western AI when a plethora of AI tools exist outside of western control?

    And tagging me in an article that lists all the negatives of the industry?

    The article mentions plenty of negatives but it also mentions positives. Let me help you out here. The article could be resumed into this:

    • The produce of a tool depends on its wielder. If the tool is handled by a despicable western capitalist, then the produce is exploitation of the working class. However, if the tool is handled by workers in socialism, the produce will be successes that are vital to human life.
