Tsk, you just told us SO much more. scribbles notes
jerkface
You're telling us more about yourself than you might intend.
My dog lost his nose in an accident when he was a puppy.
Oh, no! How does he smell?
Terrible!!
That's why I initially brought up all those forms of AI that are perfectly fucking fine. But you're like, NOPE. So don't throw that in MY face. Perhaps you didn't understand what I was saying. But you were STILL like, NOPE. Which leads me to believe YOU don't even know what you mean when you say, "AI". "Generative AI" isn't a specific thing. It's any software that outputs something a human might consume as content. You just mean, "bad shit I don't understand" I suppose.
The problem is not the technology, it is that entrenched capitalists are leveraging their wealth and power to steal culture from all of us, and cynical investors engaging in the largest pump and dump in history. And if you can't make that distinction, your voice doesn't have a damn thing to contribute to this conversation other than "Naw, fuck AI."
I've been on the receiving end of a lot of moral panics and it's not okay. Naw, fuck pearl clutchers.
Just, like, all of it. No more practicing chess against a computer. No more computer vision. No more single player Street Fighter. Fuck it all. It's inherently evil, we've decided for some reason. Clearly a nuanced and well researched position.
There are not cheaper ways, though. It's a monumental task and if it is done incompletely, it was pointless to even undertake.
Most feral animals can't just be "re-homed". Cats don't need humans to be happy and to thrive. They don't need a house. They don't need a ship. The most we should do for them is give them a cat island (where they would likely turn cannibal and start consuming each other within a generation).
This happened for me less than half an hour into The Phantom Menace.
Orrrrrrrr fuck the American AI investor bubble. Fuck the American tech tariffs. You know what? Just fuck the USA.
How is this any sadder than just closing your eyes and thinking really hard while you crank one out
That's treating the justice system as a cudgel to hurt people you want hurt. It's not meant to hurt anyone. I think what you want is maybe a mob or a hired thug?
"Boomerier," surely
