> Yes, anti fascism is a radical position these days.

Given that these groups are basically composed of communists, if not tankies, that's not surprising. Specially when some of those served as sabotours for the USSR (notorious for its respect for human dignity).

This is an incredible piece of anti-intellectualism. Its arguments aren't compelling either: AI might flood with innacurate studies that are difficult to check. Rather than improving said check as to reduce the reliance on trust and improve science as a whole; like the good reactionary the author is, they proppose to ban this particular technology. AI also centralizes authority... because? There is also an irony in them complaining about this theoretical centralization while also trying to preserve the inherent trust-based system in academia, so I suspect they aren't actually committed to proper intellectualism. There is more to complain about this post, but, then, it would hijack this whole comment.

Is it surprising that the guy who founded Futurism, a rather radical and aggressive celebration of innovation and progress, would be mentioned in a movement about technological progress?

> A very influential blogger, Curtis Yarvin who have started Dark Enlightenment, the philosophy behind it all regularly posts straight nazi shit. He also has influenced JD Vance and Peter Thiel who have been instrumental in the creation of OpenAI.

JD Vance hasn't been instrumental to OpenAI's creation, and Peter Thiel is just one of its original investors. Not to mention, NRx is a mess of movement composed of contradictory ideas.

I have noticed you have been using "these LLMs". While I do agree that distancing from OpenAI's models is good (even if it's just on the basis of decentralization), the anti-AI movement either wants to monopolize AI via regulation or ban it outright.
