#calmculture — Public Fediverse posts

#ThoughtProvoker 🤔

I am #antiAI in the sense that the disruptive introduction of #LLM platforms into society, and damn the externalities, makes #AI utterly inhumane technology.

What I do not think is very effective, is the anti-AI #activism that involves attacking or 'ostracising' any person who uses AI or is not equally vocal in expressing negative sentiments towards the technology.

People should be pointed to all the dangers and follies of this technology, sure. But repelling all those that use AI, which is nearly everyone since AI is forced down our throat, the activism only serves to push the activist into the fringes, instead of winning people over in a growing movement.

#CALMculture is needed. Constructive activism-led movements, where people are guided on a journey from awareness to delightful #solutions. Offer a path of solution-orientation that open new opportunities, instead of just pointing out harm and laying judgment.

Grab anti-AI opportunity!

@uriel yes, very nice, thank you.

The whole #AI thing is quite interesting from a Social experience design perspective. #SX has Humanity and Freedom as intrinsic values, and the aim is to develop unobtrusive, harmonious, and humane technologies that serve people's needs.

From that perspective I am anti #LLM as the disruptive introduction in society is totally irresponsible, making it inhumane technology. Yet unlike with blockchain there are also undeniable upsides, numerous positive applications of the technology too.

I think the biggest near-term risk is the dehumanization and further erosion of social fabric between humans, which is to the benefit to festering #hypercapitalism and the #EpsteinClass who ultimately owns the technology.

SX defines #CALMculture, for Constructive activism-led movements. I think the way I see most people conduct #activism against AI, closing ears and ostracising AI fans, is doomed to be ineffective. CALM involves cocreating pathway towards solutions.

@oblomov some impressive analysis, thank you. Found via boost by @plutarch

I looked before at the phenomenon, and with an eye on fostering inclusive and cohesive online socio-cultural environments, relating to Social experience design (SX) practices.

A concept in #SX for instance is #CALMCulture which stands for inclusive culture in Constructive activism-led movements, whereby the activism doesn't stop by awareness-raising but follows up into a solution-oriented process. Tries to attract, engage, and activate people for the good cause. I see a lot of activism on fedi that is more likely to backfire by how confronting it is, or 'sacrifices' it demands in the call-to-participation (a call to conformance), or it has become more performative for an in-group of peers, echo chamber activism. Many anti-patterns come into play, most prominently the purity spiral.

That's tangential. Part of that exercise I defined the more #inclusive terms #ReplySigh and #Oversplaining as SX common language.

@aredridel @hongminhee

Yes well said! In society we lack ways to deal with wicked problems. The kind where there is no one single solution. It is a given that special interest groups apply their lobbying and propaganda powers to influence public opinion. And that #activism for the good cause and against malign actors lacks ways to spark a large mass of people into coordinated #resistance and onto pathways towards #solutions. The call of the #activist is for #awareness and #participation, but that all too often requires 'sacrifice'. Often harsh moral judgment is given to those who contribute insufficiently in the eyes of the activist. As result the activist does not win people over, and activism may even backfire.

Social experience design, while focused on tech foundations first, is a generic solution development methodology aimed at ability to affect societal impact and solve wicked problems. It defines #CALMculture as a way to organize activism in a commons.

@draNgNon thanks, some very good food for thought.

I think the crucial point is that we do not know and do not offer proper ways to deal with different modes of communication, esp. if the only medium channel constitutes a stream of sticky notes, such as we have here in this #microblogging space.

On the first point, when is something an #EchoChamber vs. a healthy interest area, I think depends how well one is able to cross the 'membranes' of all the various social contexts and information spaces one navigates online, as it were.

There should be a place for 'influencing' to an extent if only to reach your crowd and build community and such. But all in balance and proportion and clear social context preferably. Non-profits and #activist groups want to influence, we may want to be informed.

To the last point. There's urgency to address the dark world situation, and either organize or lose. #SX defines #CALMculture as a way to engage in constructive #activism..
