You’re too kind. But I’ve only made it to this (still very incomplete) point by making lots of absolutely terrible arguments first, with plenty of failing-to-think-things-through and automatic hatred.
Most importantly, I listen to a lot of people who either disagree with my initial takes or just have lots of experience with policy in this space.
Cory Doctorow is always a great landmark for me, personally, because he embodies the pro-culture tech-forward pirate ethos while also stridently defending artists’ rights and dignity.
Some great stuff from him includes:
How to think about scraping
What kind of bubble is AI?
Chokepoint Capitalism
Some of his crypto interviews, like I think his one for Life Itself was good even though the interviewer was pretty milquetoast
His appearances on Team Human (with Douglas Rushkoff) and just Team Human in general
Ironically, this ancient video on the toxic history of copyright law – and warning against regulating similar technology going forward – makes some pretty good points against AI: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhBpI13dxkI
Also check out the actual history of the Luddites. Cool Zone Media has a lot of coverage of them.
Also Philosophy Tube has a good one about transhumanism that has a section dismantling the “it’s just a tool” mindset you’ll see pretty often on Lemmy regarding AI.
