To be this fearful of false narratives is to be anti-American imo.

I personally can’t separate the artist from the work tbh. If the creator is disgusting then I’m going to do my best to avoid the product every single time. That being said, I’m completely out of the loop on this Omarchy thing so I dunno about that lol

Not great with hardware tbh… will I soon be able to nab 64 or 128gb of ddr5 compatible with my American gaming pc?

Can we just send the unregulated glass bread to the rural areas where they voted for it?

As a non-dev person who recently started using AI to get into doing some computer programming, I think the marketing by the CEOs has done a lot of harm. People who truly know what they’re doing and who are very careful thinkers could see all along that this technology is not at a point to where the following hype was true:

-it will not entirely replace human workers,

-it’s almost certainly not going to be better at what it’s doing than a true expert,

-and it remains to be seen whether or not it will ever be able to generate truly unique, bespoke, and fundamentally new solutions… you know, like what humans had to do for every single issue that came before…

And what it’s really good at from my perspective is allowing a non-expert person to generate productive materials in an area where they are not a master-level technician/developer/knowledge worker. It has really dissolved the barrier of entry and the value associated with routine technical skills, for better or worse.

The practical issues though involved with massive data centers, the price rises associated with computer parts, and all the other environmental garbage that’s happening is pretty discouraging though. This technology has legit potential for benefit, but the companies and CEOs have ultimately made it into a moral conundrum whether or not it should be put to use.

Typical capitalism, imo …

I think this response ignores the whole software distribution aspect, like phone apps have to be downloaded from the Play Store or whatever… if Signal has an office in Canada, maybe the employees would be forced to comply with the request or face legal troubles? If Signal doesn’t comply, Canada will just force Google and Apple to cease distribution, which I imagine is what would happen. I’m sure people would still be free to download it on their own accord if they could get a hold of it and get it running.

But idk?

Even today, a large majority of women are attracted to grotesque men for inexplicable reasons. Why is rape the first explanation on your mind? Lol

Yeah, because the electoral college and all the gerrymandering and voter suppression mean nothing. We should just pull ourselves up by our voter bootstraps, overcome all odds and the might of the entire federal and state government and die fighting radical fascists who have been carefully rigging the system from since before I was even born…

Also church. I wouldn’t want them to get diddled by a pastor.

AI doesn’t really do anything for me. It doesn’t give me more money, take care of my plants, clean my house, or improve my relationships with the human beings around me.

I’m sick of caring about increasing my “job productivity”, which is all it -might- do, and that’s debatable. It’s probably just trying to learn how to do my job so we need less humans working in the end. Sounds amazing, but inside of capitalism, it just means they’ll starve.

Because next to having a pulse, the ability to drive and get yourself to a workplace is literally the most important qualification for any job you could ever do, and it’s typically a question on entry level job applications.

What’s your deal? DL is obviously “drivers license”, lmao.
