Making “anti-AI” a core part of the new progressive / left identity is a massive mistake. But there it is.

Is this guy important in some regard? I guess he must be somewhat since you’re using him as an example of the left and his PFP is him sitting on a panel or something But all that to say, even if the old fart liberals think “AI is bad,” doesn’t mean that’s actually a part of “the new progressive / left identity” Seems more likely young and or smart progressives / leftists embrace AI as a means to UBI and better (and shorter) working conditions

Unfortunately it's both. Old fart liberals have a lot more % in being anti-AI but also many genuine leftists are too. Fwiw the concern around stolen data is true, especially for visual gen. it's pretty lame how that just got accepted among the tech circles.

To some extent yeah I agree but have also seen a lot of straight up anti AI stuff from the left, both for environmental reasons that I think are legitimate concerns and also got AI safety reasons which is also legitimate. I'm not anti AI but I acknowledge that there's a non zero chance it kills us all in the next few decades.
