(Christian Tieber hat eine deutsche Übersetzung des Textes angefertigt: “KI” als faschistisches Artefakt. Vielen Dank Christian!) (This is a bit of a merger of two talks I recently gave about fascism and AI. One was in German at the Cables Of Resistance conference, one in English at the Milton Wolf Seminar on Media and Diplomacy. […]

In this text I want to analyze the relationship of fascism and what is called “AI” these days. Is this “technology” that keeps being used to reshape the world around us (for better or worse but dominantly worse) in some way connected to fascism? Or is it just something fascists like to use? Is it neutral?

    the theft

    Copyright is a fascist concept if anything tbh. I get that people dislike AI but can we stop pretending copyright has any legitimacy whatsoever

      Until those who use LLMs are compelled to use copyleft licenses due to the use of copylefted materials in training data, I don’t wanna hear it.

      They took a tool that allowed us to fight Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, and fucking broke it.

      This does not help free/libre software or creative commons works.

      Its really strange when right-wing concepts get lumped in as to attack AI. It really seems counterintuitive.

      There was a theft, it just wasn’t intellectual property. It was a theft of the commons.

      The law locks up the man or woman
      Who steals the goose from off the common
      But leaves the greater villain loose
      Who steals the common from the goose.

      The law demands that we atone
      When we take things we do not own
      But leaves the lords and ladies fine
      Who take things that are yours and mine.

      The poor and wretched don’t escape
      If they conspire the law to break;
      This must be so but they endure
      Those who conspire to make the law.

      The law locks up the man or woman
      Who steals the goose from off the common
      And geese will still a common lack
      Till they go and steal it back
