  • We hate AI because it's everything we hate

  • I misread you at first so here's an answer to if someone uses AI art:

    Within the jokingly limited sphere of the discussion... "yes"? Particularly their artistic ability in that situation is being put to death slowly as whatever little they might have attempted without access to the tool will now not be attempted at all.

    I don't know as much about if someone were to commission art from an actual person.

  • We could bomb / kill people before. We could propel arrows / spears / sling rocks at people before. All of which is an extension of walking over and punching someone.

    Though sending a nuke from orbit on the other side of the planet by pressing a couple buttons does seem like the extension is so vast that it may qualify as "new".

    I suppose any technology that can be used can be misused.

  • When technology allows us to do something that we could not before - like cross an ocean or fly through the sky a distance that would previously have taken years and many people dying during the journey, or save lives - then it unquestionably offers a benefit.

    But when it simply eases some task, like using a car rather than horse to travel, and requires discipline to integrate into our lives in a balanced manner, then it becomes a source of potential danger that we would allow ourselves to misuse it.

    Even agriculture, which allows those to eat who put forth no effort into making the food grow, or even in preparing it for consumption.

    This is what CEOs are pushing on us, because for one number must go up, but also genuinely many believe they want what it has to offer, not quite having thought through what it would mean if they got it (or more to the point others did, empathy not being their strongest attribute).

  • Spoiler: they won't, but meanwhile Republicans will promise to (BBB lowers taxes on tips and such, thereby incentivizing those styles of employment at the expense of the middle class).

  • It seems to me more like a game of "chicken" - you wouldn't really vote for the other side, would you? (Immediately votes for other side.) Okay yeah, but you wouldn't like, do exactly that yet again, would you? (Immediately does that again.) Okay yeah, but you wouldn't like, do exactly that still yet also again, would you? (Repeat.)

  • This is what people miss about conservatives: they seem to be getting things done. When you have a single-minded focus on a particular thing, like abortion, then regardless of whether you should have done so or not you are going to get it done when you put in the level of time and effort that was done.

    Never mind that it was a cover for lowering taxes on the wealthy - The People voted for it, and so got both in the same package. In contrast, the Dems seem to stand for... what exactly? Besides being merely less obvious about making payments to corporations?

    Survival of the Fittest for now looks like it has doomed the USA Democrats. We'll see if it has doomed democracy itself (this one globally). All I know is that afaik no democracy in history has ever survived devolution into a 2-party system - the parties each merely claim that they are not the other side, which incentives them to avoid actually doing anything themselves, which causes systemic collapse (hrm, sounds familiar somehow...).

    I wish I could see a way out of this.

  • Actually the OG is ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆ (yogthos@lemmy.ml), although we can see the cross-posting chain as well as the true OC attribution in the lower right corner so perhaps no real need to provide such a mention at all?

  • And it's not even one creature or even type of creature. Look up rhizobium.

    Tbf, as we learn more about our gut microbiomes, it turns out that humans are that way as well. Maybe that's why we have the thoughts in our heads vs. the feelings in our guts... (no that's actually not it at all, except... isn't it though?).
