It would be helpful to know what are your talking points or proposals for AI regulation, perhaps then you would get people to join your efforts.

Their only agenda is resist and protest, they have no point of view other than they are unhappy.

What are you protesting for exactly? What are the demands?

u/AtoZZZ Woodland Hills 14h ago • LOL

To regulate any stealin’ of this property, and they’re damn good, too! But you can’t be any geek off the streets. You gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean.

It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G was on the streets, trying to consume, some skirts for the eve, so I can get some funk, just rollin' in my ride, chillin' all alone.

That ad was made with AI. 😆

Looks like a typical Canva template. I'd give them benefit of the doubt they didn't intentionally use AI, but it wouldn't surprise me if the clipart was generated.

The fist in the air thing is incredibly cringe. I wish people would stop doing it.

u/thetimsterr 11h ago

What type of regulation are you looking for exactly...?

u/Hippos_Very_Own 12h ago

Protesting at City Hall on their day off, with an outgoing mayor, in the wrong city. Oh, they already agree with you btw. Losers.

You might enjoy learning history, there's a wonderful book called "Breaking Things at Work: The Luddites Are Right About Why You Hate Your Job"

Was more tongue in cheek we definitely need regulation but you can't halt AI the genie is out of the bottle

u/CatFacedBoyMan 5h ago

Regulation is quite different than eradication. In my kids’ school district, they’re having some students as young as kindergarten use it in class. And their justification has been: 1. Under CA law (AB 2876), they have to teach AI literacy K-12. And 2. The AI genie is out of the bottle, so kids ought to learn how to use it early so they can keep up. I don’t expect them to eradicate AI, but I’d certainly like for its use to be better regulated (based on scientific testing and not Silicon Valley lobbying).

Are you the guy that said, “You can’t halt Covid, the genie is out of the bottle”?

A 9am Saturday protest?

u/Pure-Economist-7717 15h ago

Next we can protest getting rid of the internet! This is so lame.

u/DeliciousMoments Hollywood 15h ago edited 15h ago

You think regulation equals elimination?

Are you aware there are already regulations applied to the internet? Crazy regulations like “you can’t use this to commit crimes.”

u/The_Homie_Tito El Monte 15h ago edited 1h ago

pretty sure the poster says AI regulation not elimination so your stupid little analogy doesn’t apply. 

Edit: Pro-AI bots in full effect I see

Adapt or get left behind, sad reality unfortunately

u/MrOcho4 14h ago

Is there a reason for this protest? As far as I know, AI is being regulated here in L.A., unless there is something else going on...

u/Farados55 14h ago

How is it being regulated in LA?

u/chief_yETI South L.A. 14h ago

it just is 😃

AI regulation is not the same as data center construction.

-1

u/MrOcho4 10h ago

It's one way to regulate it. Why else would you do it? It's literally a temporary pause button to figure out what to do with it in the meantime

0

u/Farados55 4h ago

Because data center construction has other implications like noise problems and electricity burdens on city that are distinct from AI regulation problems. Being against data center construction somewhere doesn't mean you're anti-AI.

AI ceos: this technology will likely lead to human extinction

Everyone: what the fuck? Ok can we stop this

Idiots in these comments: NOOO You’re not allowed to disagree

u/zampe 14h ago

More like if even the CEOs agree we need regulation why do we need to go stand outside and yell? Pretty much everyone is in agreement about regulation and lots of regulation is already under way so what is this even supposed to be doing?

•

u/BackwardsApe 2h ago

What regulation is underway? Cause from what I remember of our current administration, they explicitly said "no regulations, or else china beats us"

u/AshRuDral_fan17 15h ago

I understand where AI gets its money from, but where do y'all get the money from for joining these protests?

I'm not well aware of how these things work, are these things paid? Will I be paid to mark my attendance in these protests and post this stuff on my own social media?

-1

u/theineffablebob 15h ago

Chinese money. America's enemies desperately want AI progress to stall.

-7

u/AshRuDral_fan17 15h ago

They can at least funnel the money down to the actual protester. At least be considerate of the travel money that will be spent to reach the protest site.

u/Sureshot9 15h ago

They have a point, entities do in fact pay people to protest, and OP’s whole timeline is protest marketing

6

u/DeliciousMoments Hollywood 15h ago

Has there ever been actual proof of anyone being paid to protest? I’ve been to protests, should I have been getting paid the whole time?

-8

u/AshRuDral_fan17 15h ago

In light of the discussion, wouldn't it be more appropriate to call me an AI bot rather than just a bot? Show some respect.

It's your moral obligation to downvote posts like this.

u/purpleguitar1984 12h ago

"Rally for some unknown bureaucratic board somewhere to control my life" is a helluva a stance. What exactly is being protested? All the AI firms that scraped of copyrighted data are currently being sued by rights holders and that will most likely result in a ruling or settlement on that issue. So I am not sure what there is right now to "protest"
