An anticapitalist tech blog. Embrace the technology that liberates us. Smash that which does not.

Though wrapped in the aesthetic of science, this paper is a pure expression of the AI hype’s ideology, including its reliance on invisible, alienated labor. Its data was manufactured to spec to support the authors’ pre-existing beliefs, and its conclusions are nothing but a re-articulation of their arrogance and ideological impoverishment.

    Thank you so much! That’s the nicest thing to read because it’s exactly the kind of thought that I hope to inspire in my fellow developers.
