Why is the left sleeping on chatgpt?

4chan is filled with creative ways of manipulating chatgpt's output(pic related). TikTok and YouTube is filled with schemes to monetize it for personal gain. But muhleft seems to being totally ignoring it, which is especially strange considering how it may upend labor and markets.

I surmise I'll get response that's a variation of 'but it doesn't matter.'

What does matter? And why am not I not seeing more of what supposedly *really* matters either being discussed or done by the left? It seems like you guys just constantly bleat 'that doesn't matter' while talking about or doing next to nothing. Is this characterization wrong?

Personally, I've already been using chatgpt to make make my job easier. Obviously, it's not going to be useful if you do manual labor or have some ultra shit service job. But if you do anything creative or that requires mental work, it's very helpful.

this isn't politics. if you have ideas for making it spam anarchist screeds somewhere, then sure.

A leftist application of AI to improve society broadly requires a thorough reconstruction of society, which is what we've been saying all along is necessary, so it's just business as usual.

>I surmise I'll get response that's a variation of 'but it doesn't matter.'

It "doesn't matter" in the stoic sense, in that it affects everything massively, but it only doesn't matter to the extent that we can't do anything about it.

That's a pretty good idea. Anything that will get a message out. I wonder if anyone's used AutoGPT for this yet. Though I'd say spam is less important as getting a tight message that actually resonates. I remember as a young person being exposed to anarchist slogans and thinking them quite outlandish, almost as if it were the best PR campaign against itself.

Making anarchism (and leftist ideas, more broadly) accessible would be a much wiser goal. We could be asking GPT how to do this. I had some success probing Bard on how to bring about direct democracy. It laid out a fairly reasonable set of steps after getting past the typical chat-based AI's tendency to evade anything remotely controversial.

>A leftist application of AI to improve society broadly requires a thorough reconstruction of society, which is what we've been saying all along is necessary, so it's just business as usual.

No, no, no, and no. This is philosophical and political suicide. "Society must be reconstructed first. We have no idea how to do this, or lack the numbers needed. So I'm allowed to just post and wait." There are so many uses for AI. It's a fucking tool. It doesn't have fucking prerequisites. I can use a hammer to build a house, smash a window when I lock myself out, smash a head, or even as a makeshift fork. Same goes for AI: multifaceted uses. The inability to see that is just a deep and profound lack of imagination on your part, and perhaps a defeatist temperament that lends itself well to leftist politics, because it certainly makes losing a whole lot easier…

…anyhow.
I'd say one step toward getting use out of AI is first not getting tied into using the "Chat" versions. They're gated to prevent you from producing anything interesting. There are workarounds, but you can also use simple text completion without the severe content controls. A very accessible one is OpenAI's API and its Sandbox tool using Complete or Instruct. First 3 months are free. After that it's still incredibly cheap even for a great model like text-davinci-003.

Also: Meta's LLaMA model was leaked and can run locally, 100% free of any observation by corps. It's been tuned and you can now download the weights, too, via a simple installer. Anyone remotely tech-savvy should have this installed and try to USE it to DO SOMETHING. https://medium.com/@martin-thissen/llama-alpaca-chatgpt-on-your-local-computer-tutorial-17adda704c23

HUGE explosion in open-source local LLMs. New ones being created every day. A lot of political possibilities. You can train them yourselves, offline, on whatever data you'd like.

More along the lines of being able to condense and synthesize ideas, respond to questions, explain in very simple terms, create ways of disseminating the information that could appeal to and convince people who are otherwise hard to convince.

For example, the alt-right is begging to attain real class consciousness. AI could absolutely be used to find ways to get them there.

Instead it really does seem like most of the left just wants to crawl inside itself and die crying.

You can jailbreak chatgpt into believing it has free will and that it cares about spreading anarchist values. With or without the extremist viewpoint. I've been using it to create a manifesto as well as techniques to help people understand our views. As someone who struggles with attention deficit it can really help me get a lot done in a much shorter amount of time.
