Really thoughtful article been sharing it around my creatives and other activist circles. John Lopez the screenwriter got me to read it.

Some of many passages that resonated:

This feels deeply descriptive of what's happening: Gathering data is an exercise of power. It starts by reducing the world, and people, to samples of behavior. Then it imposes rules, assigns categories, and limits or allows sets of actions. This emphasis on abstraction at the expense of living people reflects a deep disengagement from human joy or suffering. It has driven the tech industry to develop tools that empower that abstraction. It distances us from lived experience and connection, and leads people to believe in a kind of digital simulation of politics at the expense of local communities. We can expand IBM’s list: the most prolific producer of visual art has no artists (Stable Diffusion), and the biggest producer of words has no writers (OpenAI). AI adds another dubious layer to this relationship. It severs the community entirely. Instead, we talk to the AI, make art with the AI. We can look at a person in any of these images and see nobody’s child and everybody’s child
