Not necessarily. Generative AI hasn't been advancing as much as people claim, and we are getting into the "diminishing returns" phase of AI advancement. If not, we need to switch gears in our anti-AI activism

I was so heartbroken once I saw the Mastodon handle of Jack Saint (leftist youtuber), only to the last post of his being "I'm moving to BlueSky". I'm also asked WhiteLeaf (worker coop behind leftist streamers's stuff) if they thought on starting their own Mastodon or other instance.
ACAB means the police is upholding unjust systems and laws, isn't that cops as individuals are bad. Of course a large percent of them are domestic abusers and racist, but that's an entirely different issue.
If I had a guess, the advertisers threatened to pull out.
With that same logic, the American settlers are just "second wave native Americans". Of course one can argue that Jews always lived at the area of Palestine/Israel, but currently Israel is the aggressor, even if the actions of Hamas are very immoral.
Personally I find it going this way:
- some person, who at least knows what socialism is, even if they're not the most well-read in the subject,
- some way better read one, but thinks state control of enterprises suffice and trusts the state way too much as long as it has hammers and sickles,
- some capitalism fan, who thinks socialism is evil, and that constructon company CEOs are workers, but underpaid office workers are "elites".
Rarely you get a very well read one, who understands their stuff, or the old Soviet bloc ex-communist, who switched because the local far-right party started to be very concerned about "work morals", and also think the construction company CEO is a worker and "against the elite".
Well, that's a very different and way more concerning thing...
It's Pawoo, Pixiv's (formerly) own instance, which is infamous for this kind of content, and those are still "just drawings" (unless some artists are using illegal real-life references).
This reminded me of the quite cursed art, where I drew Nanashi Mumei with a cloaca, after she said "I don't have a butt" on stream.
Except, those are in charge of the AI, just want mass unenployment, to lose our bargaining power, and to work 3 jobs just to eat.
Even the supposed "adapting to AI" for artists is just "buy our stocks and trade them".
