  • IMO people are less likely to reject AI in some use cases, taking over medial tasks (e.g. email drafting, writing cover letters)

    BUT it is the sneaky and persistent way in which many “AI assistants” are forced on users with no option to opt out. We all know it’s just to open out huge data gathering services and increase revenue, not for our benefit.

    Sure, nuclear energy is valid and all, but you sound like an absolute spanner…

    If you want to argue that nuclear energy has its place, maybe don’t ridicule people who remember how much of an issue the last major nuclear meltdown was (and partially is).


  • Once a luxury is present for long enough, it becomes normal. You cannot be angry at masses of people for wanting to enjoy their life.

    Your points are not invalid, it’s not sustainable and likely won’t be for some time, but many things are a luxury only available to a few in the present (e.g. MRI scans, 50" TVs, car capable of going +100km/h, 3+ electronic devices per person). No one is ready to give up their luxuries, especially when others still have more.

    I’m lost in the air travel debate and it sucks. Ignoring the strike and pilots specific concerns, IMHO:

    • Emissions of flights are horrendous and will be viewed as barbaric in 30+ years. It needs to stop.
    • Denying those of a lower income the opportunity to partake in air travel is also horrendous, and should not be the main mechanism to disrupt the industry.
    • There are, in many cases, no alternatives to air travel, so it cannot be abolished.

    Smarter regulation is needed, but the finite details will likely never suit a majority of people.
