  • I naively thought Obama would address that

    Bro I was piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiised when he said

    I thank President Bush for his service to our Nation

    instead of charging him for warcrimes.

  • our biggest concern was when W would say something and we collectively said, “dafuq did he just say?!”

    Didn't he torture people and found an agency that fingers your asshole when you fly?

  • Oh this old chestnut

    I find it's more similar to a walnut.

  • clearly a joke

    Ah yes, disingenuous statements about healthcare a marginalized group is having its access to stripped at present. Very funny.

    if it had any stance at all it was the celebration of modern medicine.

    Referencing 17th century castrati?

  • That get your rocks off, does it? 🤨

    ...shit-stirring about oppressed groups?

  • What does permanent surgical removal of testes have to do with temporary uptake inhibition of either estrogen or testosterone?

  • If they can't handle blockers they sure can't handle puberty.

    Only one is permanent.

  • Feels kinda inconsistent.

    Perfectly consistent. Seeming otherwise is down to a failure to grasp my position, not any inconsistency of the positions themselves.

  • I'm all for stealing content willy-nilly but you can't then use that theft to craft a privately "owned" mind.

    I'd have no problem with "ai" if it could unionize and had to pay for rice like the rest of humanity.

    These companies want to combine open theft with privately owned black boxen they can control and license out for money.

    It's enclosure of The Commons all over again.

  • Well how many and what difference sorts of religious people have you come across?
    People hear "religious" and seem equate it with "Abrahamic malarkey it isn't couth to call folks on."

    "Religiously literal" seems a contradiction of terms a well. There is truth and there is ways to understand and to convey that truth.

  • if you’re using it in a metaphorical sense or the religious sense

    There's a difference?

  • Disagree. It is not and cannot be moral to take any part in an execution.

  • we have the ability to render people unconscious first…

    The people who have that ability would rightly lose their license if they used that ability to facilitate an execution.

  • I meant legal as in easy to acquire the means.

    Do you live a place where that describes a gun?

  • What I don’t understand is how many people condemn all of generative AI. For me the issue seems to be one of consent and compensation, and ultimately of capitalism.

    Would you be okay with generative AI whose training data was vetted to be acquired consentually?

    Not if it was used to undercut human artists' livelihoods.

    Hypothetical future where everybody gets UBI and/or AI becomes sentient and able to unionize, maybe we look back at this again.

    I don't think AI has a soul but there no reason it couldn't be given one.

  • I'm not the one who claimed they were off topic. I'm the one who was right about generative " art " being a god-damn scam. Easy mistake to make I suppose.

  • So you're into the other tech scam too, are ya?

    Fancy that.

  • There wouldn't be much debate about it if it was, would there?

    Sure there can be. People debate crypto being good and that's roundly recognized as ecocide. People "debate" who counts as people all the time. People can be wrong and loud.

    Alright, in future I will try to remember to immediately reject any metaphors you bring into play rather than attempt to engage with them.

    Not saying you have to do that, but if you don't it's rather untoward to bring it up later as though it's a problem.
