Righteous fury is a good thing.

Hey now, some drugs are very good things

Almost no AI is

I get what you mean but without sufficient sources of renewable energy - which do not exist right now and cannot be expanded without exploitation of miners (including children) in the Congo and elsewhere - there’s no way this technology can benefit us in a net sense. Summaries of messages we read anyway and uncanny simulations of celebrities eating pasta will never offset the damage inherently caused to the natural world by the energy consumed by the slop machine.

Like there are no ethical billionaires, there’s no ethical generative AI (except for early-development-stage medical / science stuff like protein combinations or cancer diagnoses, though I think the cancer-detecting AI is way older than current gen AI)

Yeah… I know. I adblock everything, I would never see it to begin with lol, unless it’s somewhere public and unavoidable. But I’m not really bothered about buying cookies from some small business. So long as capitalism exists (and I’m eager for it to not exist, but for now it does), I have to eat and regular people need to earn money.

You can’t exist in a solely ideological paradigm. You have to be pragmatic while working towards bending the world towards something better.

Not necessarily, and even if so, there are so many more important things to be angry about

[citation needed], don’t forget to include the Civil War in the US’s figures. Let’s also go “per capita” to make it fair.

It wasn’t “about a fact”, it was about your framing of the fact. “Yeah China did this 30 fucking years ago while America has never stopped doing this over the last 30 years, these two entities are equivalent!” It’s less bad when white people do it, right?

I’m not pro-CCP for the record. I’m just realistic about my criticisms, like their restrictive social measures. There is zero doubt they are vastly less of an international menace than the United States.

Many Americans can barely read. AI can speak to you. It sucks here, I know lol

You had to reach back to 1995.

I can reach back to last week.

The point stands, sorry Sinophobe.

You never thought the country which bombs other countries and kidnaps their presidents would become more restrictive/authoritarian than the one which generally doesn’t?

Seems pretty predictable to me idk. People are so steeped in American exceptionalism mythology.

lemmy.ml moment

THEY’RE COOKIES FFS

Yeah but if you literally can’t afford to go to the doctor, you’ll take anything you can get.

Have you ever been in that position?

Yes, we should give no one an opportunity to change or learn from their mistakes. We must focus on projecting our own moral purity and superiority above all else, for there is no higher pursuit. Maybe we could come up with some phrases in Latin or something even.

It’s a small snack company stranger, not fuckin Palantir. I reflexively hate advertisements too, but given that I am occasionally forced to overhear them or god forbid witness them with my own eyes, I would take something human over something slop-generated any day.

Same, Honda CRZ (it’s like a Prius but it doesnt make you hate yourself) and I dont have any delay on quick-starting the engine.

It’s a hybrid but the electric part is just KERS, so I only fuel it up, I don’t charge it.

Fair, but women are probably more qualified

No. No use of AI, which unnecessarily pollutes our only livable planet and consumes our limited supply of freshwater, is “fine”.

You’re symping for the slop machine.

All use of AI is bad (except medical stuff if you’re just too poor to see a doctor - bad idea, but if it’s all you have access to, I won’t knock you for it) and any use deserves to be socially punished.
