Alright, I just want to clarify that I’ve never modded a Lemmy community before. I just have the mantra of “if nobody’s doing the right thing, do it yourself”. I was also motivated by the decision from u/spez to let an unknown AI company use Reddit’s imagery. If you know how to moderate well, please let me know. Also, feel free to discuss ways to attack AI development, and if you have evidence of AIBros being cruel and remorseless, make sure to save the evidence for people “on the fence”. Remember, we don’t know if AI is unstoppable. AI uses up loads of energy to be powered, and tons of circuitry. There may very well be an end to this cruelty, and it’s up to us to begin that end.
I think you’re doing a great job here. I would personally like to see more emphasis on actions taken against AI, maybe discussion groups about talking points to use when talking with family, or bills in various places that people can email their representatives about (if they’re in a place where that’s useful). We could also collaborate with the self-hosting community on slrpnk.net to get people set up with tar pits and poison for their servers, and I’d love to see some artists sharing their work or helping people get started with making real art so that they don’t feel the need to use AI at all.
Just some thoughts I’ve had recently! Not saying that you need to do these things.
