The context of the reddit thread was discussing how to best make money from AI generators btw

    The way Ligma and Catgirl are maligning others as "not communist" or "not materialist" enough for just being wary of and critiquing this technology... it feels very personal lol

    E: Add Redbolshevik in there too

      I implied that the revenge porn (and related issues) side of the technology was being selectively ignored or dismissed by one of those people. After the "bad people will do bad things anyway" non-argument that was way, way, way too much like :reddit-logo: localized justifications for child porn (cartoon and otherwise), that same person started telling me to eat shit, called me a clown, and so on.

      I'll say this: I'm not convinced whatsoever that there was no personal motive for that person being that enraged at me for what I bought up.

        Even ignoring the personal attachment... its just a weirdly wrong analysis of the situation.

        The whole calling artists petty bourgeois and equating protecting their livelihoods to worshiping "IP law", it really reminds me of the patsoc line about baristas not being real proles.

          Agreed, it was dreadfully familiar, the "not real work" attitude, both in the weeks ago thread and now.
