A Bitcoiner trolled ‘leftoids’ for being wary of AI and got all the responses they deserved – 17 not computer generated takedowns
In the interests of full disclosure and all that we hadn’t come across Nic Carter before but by all accounts he’s an internet entrepreneur, investor, Bitcoin proponent, and journalist (it says here).
He’s also a big fan of Articifical Intelligence, it turns out. People on the left of centre, politically speaking? Not so much.
And here’s what he just had to say about the two of them.
i’ve noticed a weird aversion to using AI on the left. not sure if it’s a climate or an IP thing or what, but it seems like a massive self-own to deduct yourself 30+ points of IQ because you don’t like the tech

And it’s fair to say it prompted quite the response from the people he was talking about. No, not AI – at least, we don’t think so.
And these people surely said it best.

it’s a little comforting to know this kind of intelligence is what we are up against https://t.co/rM2GP8YVnO

LOL this is *hilarious* because regularly using AI tools will functionally deduct the 30+ points of IQ he’s afraid he’s losing by NOT using AI
he wants to be smart so bad he’s setting conditions to become stupid https://t.co/m4q81VPLqh

there’s a very noticeable left wing bias towards using your own brain https://t.co/x0AVHH6QDS

“it’s deleterious to the environment and steals the labor of artists and writers to create its output and is being used to reduce jobs…no idea why the left hates this!” https://t.co/Ro6dwfO5P4
