    Good AI, Bad AI: How to Distinguish Between a Good Idea That Challenges Real Problems and a Bad Idea That Only Virtue Signals

    We are currently watching the internet tear itself apart over the metaphysical dread of artificial intelligence, resulting in marginalized groups cannibalizing each other for social credit. By tracing the historical blueprints of respectability politics and legal copyright infringement, this essay provides a functional, actionable framework to escape the doomism. It is a necessary structural guide to separating the human utility of AI from the exploitative nature of the tech industry.

    From now on, anyone that comes at me over AI gets a facefull of Teddy Ruxpin. 👿

  5. #Holepunch @holepunch_to community: absolute vitriol, violent #RespectabilityPolitics, content designed to escalate and exhaust the conversation that reads like AI-generated slop.

    This would be silly if it weren't such a terrifying #culture indicator. I hope to hear a reasoned response about #HumanRights and #SocialJustice soon; and I'll be writing commentary when I'm recovered and ready to.

  6. CW: queer(/…) pol question

    I know that respectability politics is evil and I don't want to engage in it, but it is so alluring that I can't help but sometimes low-key get convinced of it, so does anyone have any resources proving undoubtably that it's just harmful?

  7. The moment I demand that another accept as fact, what I chose to believe by faith, I deny them the same freedom to believe or not that I claim for myself.

    The epistemology of supernatural belief (faith) and the epistemology of Naturalism (evidentiary science) are different tools for application in different domains.

    I don't care what religion another subscribes to, What I object to is the implicit coercion of making decisions, laws, policy based on supernatural beliefs in a pluralistic democracy.

    If Claudia Allen chooses to believe scripture is history based on her faith, that is her right of religious freedom, but to propagandize her faith as historic fact to others, is intellectually dishonest and promotes a cultural norm of othering that is irrefutably harmful and destructive to millions of people.

    Why are Black people still Christian?

  8. @Occidental I read #TheAutobiographyOfMalcolmX as a teenager and it was definitely helpful on so many levels.

    Growing up in North Georgia I'd always seen Brother Malcolm weaponized against Black children to create this narrative that angry or armed Black people undermined their own cause in the civil rights movement.

    Malcolm's autobiography provided so much incredible nuance that it challenged me to confront not only the narratives around #RespectabilityPolitics but also the ways that leaders like Brother Malcolm and Dr #MartinLutherKing were weaponized in attempts to critique the Black community into submission

    I'd be curious to learn from other folks on #BlackMastodon #BlackTwitter how they came to learn about the spectrum of perspectives and identities within the Black community
