RadMatFem & AI, part 1 of 1000
Goofing with a local LM
Everyone at Medusa Rising has lots to say on AI, most of it boils down to "No, Oh Goddess, NO!" There's problems all over AI for feminist values and for women.
- Deep Fake Political Speech
- Deep Fake Revenge Porn
- Hallucinations
- "Councelling" and suicide
- Interference in coginitive development
- AI relationshiops
- Abuse of AI "partners"
- Access and class
- Eating our remaining carbon budget
- Community damage
- Theft via socialized subsidies (we're paying the bills)
- Total surveillance
- Techno Fascist Dreams of Electric Immortality
If it's wrong with patriarchy, it's wrong with AI.
We want to talk those through with you over time. Like every extractive tech, it's eating life itself, resources, whole communities. The US is aiming to let it run wild like kudzu over the forests of the southern states.
The fact of it, however, the fact that stopping it is now tantamount to destroying a lot of global infrasture means we have to contend with it. We're on their platforms, we use their 'secure' messaging apps, &c.
Medusa Rising hopes some of you want to think about this in podcasts and in posts you might write. This is an epochal change which-ever way it breaks, and to just not use it is to miss a (small, I admit) chance to amplify RadMatFem influence beyond our small numbers and non-existent resources.
