#Welcome to /c/socialism
Socialism as a political system is defined by democratic and social control of the means of production by the workers for the good of the community rather than capitalist profit, based fundamentally on the abolition of private property relations.
Socialism is also a sociopolitical movement dedicated to the critique and dismantling of exploitative structures, including economic, gendered, ethnic oppression.
Socialism, as a movement, confronts these different systems of oppression as mutually conditioning, intersectional, and/or dialectically related within the current hegemonic order. It seeks to overcome oppression in a holistic manner without neglecting any particular axis so that it might be eliminated and genuine social emancipation may be realized. We recognize that Socialism cannot be achieved while structural oppression continues and workers are divided.

I am taking my time reading the first article you have sent. First even before anything else needs to be said i do not see how other MLs can engage with LLM generated images and videos and do not see how this is going to worsen AI induced psychosis that is already bad and how them openly embracing it and trying to normalize it doesn't worsen the situation, if not i do not see how any of you can explain some other solution than rejecting Generative models for shit it has no practical purpose in like writing or any other art. And regarding everything else, i do not see the cost of developing LLMs worth it almost every scenario but well, what do i know.
I do not understand what the author even implies by the first argument, the one about hating the work done by the machine equals hating the work done by the lowly peasant, what work dude, what is the artist even expressing here/ its the machine expressing and the artist giving guidelines, outsourcing the expression onto it, it isn't procreate or something that makes the process easier or more efficient it removes the entire expression itself. I do not understand the multiple analogies you and others have given regarding how it is the lack of effort that makes something by AI deemed less, no, its the fact its not an expression or human expression, this is more akin to buying an IKEA bed stand and claiming it is the same as something sculpted by the wood worker. If your ideas of human expression and art are so bleak that you think a machine does the same thing as a human, what sort of people am i calling comrades?
The thing the artist is actually expressing is the fucking prompt and nothing else. God, the entire thing pisses me off so much, you are outsourcing your ability to express? what's the point of even living at that point. If you think the most any human can express is by writing a bunch of prompts, whats even the point of living?
How would GenAI stop you from creating your own art?
