Reminds me of this:

I think atproto is a good protocol, but god bluesky-the-company is dogshit.

    There is some examples out there of people making racist skits, with the dialog barely shifted to give it the veneer of being about robots. A month back there was an infamous tick tok telling “Rosa Sparks” to “get to the back of the bus”.

    It’s pretty awful. It also doesn’t really have anything to do with AI criticisms. Racists telling the same “jokes” they’ve always told one another. But people who’ve bought into the AI hype don’t really have a response to the AI criticisms, so its in their interest to build up what is a pretty tenuous connection, lest the cognitive dissonance set in.

      Racists can dog whistle about anything. There’s no stamping that out, can’t win against that. Trying to go after anything and everything they “code” about is playing whack-a-mole, no point.

      In any case, they’re immune to having their hypocrisy called out. Can’t win that game.
