/u/outwrangle before everything went to shit in 2020, /u/emma_lazarus for a while after that, now I’m all queermunist!

  • AI "educator" is mad at people for stealing prompts

  • Right, because you don't believe art has value or requires thinking. It's essentially worthless to you.

    What people with a critical eye for art can tell you is that the art also has well-defined tasks with explicit perimeters and rules, and generative AI produces uncreative slop that looks amateurish if you have an eye for art. It's pretty typical for people to believe generative AI is better at tasks that they, personally, know nothing about - it's a Dunning-Kruger machine.

  • Again, let's focus on problems we can solve first. That means taking the beam out of our own eye before we go around criticizing the motes in others, or however that parable goes. We have far worse problems in our own home.

  • But actually, they aren't okay.

    The people who actually do this grisly work for a living face the same kinds of traumatic stress symptoms as any soldier or torturer would. They do have empathy for non-human animals and it eats them alive. They have to fight themselves constantly to overcome the barriers that prevent us from hurting and killing and mutilating others. That's why the people coerced to work in this industry consistently face higher rates of depression, self-harm, addiction/overdose, every violent crime you can think of, and suicide.

    The vast majority of carnists have never killed anything bigger than a cockroach. They get neat little packages of decontextualized red goop on the store shelves and don't have to spend even a second thinking about the suffering that went into making it.

  • Okay so 3 days out from getting fraxel, the swelling is gone but my face looks like I got a really bad sunburn. It's peeling and gross.

    At least the factory should be cool all week.

  • I don't understand why libs eat this shit up

    Jump

  • I'm aware. Hence, we're ignoring the fact that it's make-believe nonsense.

    My point is that the punchline of the joke is in contradiction with the presumed intention of the joke. The joke just kind of feeds into Trump's intentions, rather than poking fun at it.

    Jump

  • Well then we're in agreement - the premise of this joke is feeding into Trump's idea to buy Greenland.

    My point is that it's in contradiction with the intention of the joke, which is clearly meant to say the opposite.

  • Idiocracy is here

    Jump

  • No I'm not? I'm painting anyone who is a doomer as a doomer, as in, specifically the people who think AGI will kill us all. They don't care about valid issues, they care specifically about this stupid nonsense that they read about on lesswrong.com

    This is a real subset of people and the meme is making fun of them, because they're just feeding into the AI hype bubble.

    No one is saying that the valid issues surrounding this tech bubble aren't real, but that has little to do with the doomer cohort.

  • You didn't even try.

  • Idiocracy is here

    Jump

  • ... are you under the impression that doomers aren't real? I mean, maybe they don't really believe the bullshit they're spewing, but they talk endlessly about the dangers of AI and seem to actually believe LLMs are actively dangerous. Have you just not heard of these dorks? They're, like, near-term human extinction folks who think AGI is just around the corner and will kill us all.

  • Salt is vegan and not plant-based.

  • One proposal for how the US could buy Greenland is direct cash deposits to every person in Greenland, basically buying their loyalty. Now obviously it's all bullshit, the US just steals and kills to get what it wants, but let's entertain this idea.

    If the US paid each person in Greenland enough to get a majority onboard, basically buying the polls, would that actually be acceptable? Because that's basically the premise here.

  • Whichever country is better still fits the underlying premise, that the best country should be the one that rules the colony.

  • What is this supposed to prove?

    Do Californians want to be bought by Denmark? Then that's just feeding into Trump's idea of buying Greenland, because they supposedly want it. Do Californians not want to be bought by Denmark? Then that's feeding into Denmark being worse than the US.

    Never mind the fact that this is make-believe nonsense that is totally detached from Denmark's actual ability to buy California.
