Esther finished reading Resisting AI by Dan McQuillan
I think I set myself for a little bit of a disappointment with this book by spending the weeks and months before reading it with a lot of the same ideas through articles and podcasts, so the book itself repeated a lot of the things I was already aware of, which isn’t the book’s fault.
It’s still a very good critical analysis of “AI” from an anti-fascist-perspective. Especially the chapters about the connections of “AI” to eugenics and about the politics of the original Luddites had a lot to offer for me, as well as the final chapter on constructing alternatives to current “AI”.
It s a good read and I’ll gladly recommend it.
