Reddit is used to train AI… Twitch is used to train AI… Facebook is used to train AI… It just occured to me the easiest and best way to stick it to these people… get off the computer and have real life interactions. These people are busy building AI that can take over our digital lives… so take that back and make it a life they can’t take over…
I know easier said then done, it also depends on others, its expensive out there… I just woke up with a little bigger smile today realizing I could do something thats as easy as leaving reddit and could stick it to them… even if it just made a fraction of a difference.
See you tomorrow lol
Luddites weren’t just people who refused to use new technology. Those groups have existed since antiquity. It’s the Hutterites and Amish and aside from a Weird Al song, nobody really cares about them one way or another. What made the Luddites tragic was their belief that if they could destroy the machines in perpetuity, their [human] labor would never be replaced. It was romantic, human, desperate, and doomed but it was not passive escapism.
What OP is saying (abstinence) has nothing to do with the Luddites.
