I liked Justine Bateman's anti-AI stance, but she's now posting on Twitter as a hate-filled RWer - UPDATE

See reply 4 for the update.

She's been doing incredibly nasty "film critique" threads of liberals who posted videos about how upset they are that Trump won. She's using videos she gets from Libs of TikTok, whom she thanks for their "tireless curation" of upset liberals she can mock. The RW trolls on Twitter really love her now.

She's made it clear that she despises Gavin Newsom, and she would like to see Nicole Shanahan as California's governor.

She's really shocked and disappointed other opponents of generative AI, who almost all seem very liberal. All the other opponents of generative AI I've encountered care about humanity, and there isn't a trace of humanity in Bateman's ridicule of liberals.

1. Are you sure...

It's really her and not her acct being hacked? Or a deepfake?

3. If her account had been hacked, she'd've said something by now.

5. Please see reply 4.

9. She has been a religious wingnut for years

2. When did she turn into a scumbag MAGA motherfucker? They're all pieces of fucking shit.

6. I think she decided she could rip off the mask with Trump re-elected, and let people know she's not

only fine with a hate account like Libs of TikTok and RW trolls in general, but she wants to join in the RW trolling, too.

4. This morning she's turned her critiquing on people shocked by her ridiculing liberals and siding with Libs of TikTok.

I googled last night to see if there were any news stories or social media messages saying her account had been hacked. Checked again this morning. Apparently her nasty posts are real, her siding with what the Libs of TikTok account does is real, and she seems gleeful about it. And very juvenile as well as nasty.

She wants "source references" for anyone pointing out how mean-spirited she's being. Cute.

She seems like a middle-school bully able to stop pretending to be nicer, now that Trump's been elected. Happy to work with Libs of TokTok, a stochastic terrorist, to go after liberals.

I did find out, while googling, that she wanted Gavin Newsom recalled in 2020, and said so again last month.

I did see one post saying her opposing gen AI as a threat to artists might have been more self-serving than altruistic/idealistic/compassionate, since she's trying to make her AI-free film company successful.

This is her newest tweet that I've seen, reposting RWers ridiculing Michael Cohen, calling it impressive. Again, she's coming across like a mean child, as so many RWers do.

7. Bateman has now posted a self-serving, intellectually dishonest defense of her "decompressing" that

perfectly ironically contains the sort of grammatical and typing mistakes she just sniped at her critics for making to show how superior she thinks she is.

First tweet here, full text of the thread below:

Decompressing from walking on eggshells for the past four years.

I have found the last four years to be an almost intolerable period. A very un-American period in that any questioning, any opinions, any likes or dislikes were held up to a very limited list of “permitted positions” in order to assess acceptability. 2/


I’ve never in my life known that to be an American environment. It’s an environment I have encountered in smaller groupings (a church, a private club,a clique), but never before as a national blanket. It has been suffocating. Common sense was discarded, intellectual discussion 3/


… was demonized. Only “permitted position” behavior and speech was “allowed.” Complete intolerance became almost a religion and one’s professional and social life was threatened almost constantly. Those that spoke otherwise were ruined as a warning to others.Their destruction 4/


… was displayed in the “town square” of social media for all to see. This was the #MeMeMeMeToo moment, where every effort was made to divert attention to oneself, instead of recognizing how one contributes to the whole.This was the era of trying to exercise control over those 5/


… who did not want to follow the crowd and has their own ideas about what they needed to do. This dampened our culture and innovation, bringing people to even think that generative #AI, a regurgitation of the past, was actually our cultural future. /6


When you starve a society of those called to be independent thinkers and cultural and intellectual innovators, you rob that society of any forward movement. Those that tried to impose that control maintained a kind of “hall monitor” position by threatening others with damning 7/


…labels like “Sexist,” “racist,” “homophobic,” etc, when the free-thinking and questioning was nothing of the sort. However, the mob mentality that followed caused these social convictions when there was often no evidence to support them. (See Charles McKay’s 1841 book, 8/


“Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds” 9/


I am neither one extreme or the other, but am one of the millions of people who believe in common sense, and that everyone should be free to live their lives however they want, unless that freedom interferes with someone else’s freedom to live their own life.
That’s it. 10/fin

8. She is a longtime RWer, I never understood why people believed her
