You regularly spam a generic generative ai ‘art’ thing on this site so of all people it feels like you’d have a broader, less kneejerky and more charitable view of what use of the technology is ‘dystopian’

That's a fair point. It's hard to assess whether I'm being honest with myself about that.

But I know this app is truly evil in my system of morality.

AI art can be very soulless. Very dehumanizing. In certain sense.

But those two qualities are undeniably attached to surveillance states. In all senses. There is no argument against that.

It’s someone’s show hn for something that’s NYC law, designed to address a specific local problem. Calling this ‘evil’ is, at a minimum, unserious bombast which the site rules ask you to avoid, especially when discussing someone else’s work. You can critique the work without the Savonarola act. It also happens to be more effective that way so it’s in your own interest.

I really am supportive of 99.9% of Show HNs, merely for the sake of the posters actually trying to build something

This is one of the few things I feel very strongly about and I'm going to do everything in my power to stop it. His idea is actively harming what makes America a good place to live in. And his idea is what makes China a bad place to live in. I'm not just going to sit here and say nothing.

I don't care if this negative EV for my own personal interests. I felt the need to speak up and people agree with me. Hopefully his post gets taken down.

pvg OP
Nobody is telling you how and how strongly to feel - just not to be a yelly asshole about it.

This is a valid show hn - if you can’t comment on it reasonably just don’t comment or find a thread where the general surveillance topic is actually the topic.

You're the one bringing up my personal projects that are irrelevant to this post.

You also called me an asshole. I never called anyone names.

I don't care about you or your opinion. Ban me.
