Noticed some AI evangelists try with the same kind of fake centrism, that was pretty popular during the Gamergate era. In this case, they try to set up people spamming genAI slop against “fanatical anti-AI people”. But just as many loves to pretend moderates are “far-left”, as their past-Gamergate selves pretended Anita Sarkeesian demanded state censorship of sexist videogames, as they are now pretending Hasan Piker is the most radical leftist living today (there are much worse even within the content creator sphere, such as Badempanda) to illustrate the “horseshoe theory”, the table is tilted in favor of AI adoption.
Sadly I’ve met actual “centrists” in person. They genuinely believe that a good compromise between someone who wants the whole cake and someone who wants only half of it is to give ¾ to the first and ¼ to the second.
That’s still a moniker of still being a right winger. I’m sorry you had to suffer the insufferable, though.
Dig down on the beliefs of a genuine “centrist” and you’ll always end up in “As long as I and my mates are alright, I don’t care about the rest”, i.e. almost pure rightwing values.
Yep.
