  • Ik vind het vooral belangrijk dat er beleid komt dat de kloof tussen rijk en arm meer dicht, minder wantrouwen naar de burger en juist meer ingrijpen bij bedrijven die zich asociaal gedragen. Ik vind dat er verregaande stappen genomen moeten worden om het milieu te beschermen. De bioindustrie moet afgeschaft worden. Ik wil een basisinkomen. Er moet beter gezorgd worden voor vluchtelingen en andere mensen die zwak staan in onze en andere samenlevingen. Er moet geïnvesteerd worden in de gezondheidszorg en met name de GGZ en jeugdhulp. Daar vallen nu echt doden.

    Voor deze plannen moet meer belasting geheven worden met name op producten e.d. die milieuvervuilend zijn en geen eerste levensbehoefte vervullen en bij mensen die dat makkelijk kunnen missen. Het lijkt me belangrijker om bijv jeugdzorg goed geregeld te hebben en dat er geen voedselbanken meer nodig zijn, dan dat een groot deel van de mensen drie keer per jaar op vakantie kan en een huis vol spullen heeft waarvan ze na een week vergeten zijn dat ze het gekocht hebben. Ik zegt dit als iemand die vroeger bij die groep heeft gehoord (maar ook in armoede heeft geleefd).

    Dat zijn belangrijke dingen denk ik. Heb er nog meer, maar post wordt een beetje lang. Moet nog kijken welke partij daar het beste bij past. :-)

  • Really nice! I like most of them, actually. I think the comic book ones are the best. Thank you and also thanks for the explanation. I have not that much experience with generating images yet. This definitely helps!

  • I think the threat of AGI is much, much lower than that of climate change. It is still debated under scholars whether AGI actually will happen (in the nearby future) and if it does, whether it will actually be a threat to humanity. On the other hand, we are sure that climate change will be a threat to humanity and it is already happening.

    I think the main issue with AI on te short term is that humanity will not benefit from it, only large businesses and the already wealthy. While at the same time, people are manipulated at a large scale by these same algorithms (e.g., on social media) to make money for these large businesses or to create societal discord for parties benefitting from that.

    I think instilling fears of AGI in the public distracts from that and reduces the chances that this technology will be available to the larger public as these fears might lead to strict regulations and only having a few powerful parties having access to it.

    So, don't fear AGI. Fear climate change. Also, be very critical of who has the power over current AI systems and how they are being used.

  • I can understand that it feels that this is the maximum you can cope with. But as long as you keep breathing, you still exist and you can cope. I can promise you that if you go through it instead of around it, it will get better. I cannot promise you exactly when or how high the peaks will be, but I can promise you that as long as you keep breathing you can cope.

    My little sister died from anorexia, I had a miscarriage, my parents emotionally neglected and emotionally abused me as a child and several other traumatising stuff happened. I know pain. I do not underestimate yours. But this is how I dealt with it and I think it will help you too.

    I sincerely feel for you. But the pain has a function. You need it to process and you need to feel it to eventually be able to make a new and happy life for yourself. Just keep breathing and go through the waves. I know you can do it.

  • Don't drink. Cry. It sounds stupid, bit crying out all the pain might help. Do not run from it. Go through it and cry again if you need to. If you can do so safely, drive and scream in the car. Or break some stuff that you do not need anymore (like plates or something).

    I have been through some traumatising stuff and the only thing that helps is not to run, but to go through it. I promise you, there will be a peak in pain and then it will reduce and the next peak will be less severe. This will go on and the pain will become less and less. As long as you keep breathing, you can handle it.

  • Maybe we can have a fact-check community. People could post there if they find fake news or they could request fact-checks of information by others. It should be a community with strict rules on referring to sources, creating valid arguments, etc. and content should only be banned if it does not adhere to these rules.

    A bit similar to what happens in scientific research. I will reject a paper if there are issues with its methods. I will not reject it based on its conclusions if the methods are fine. I think this works in academia, why wouldn't it work with the right moderators here? There are still a lot of people who value truth above all else and in this way, they would have a space here.

  • I think that most people on earth are good people, still. Most of them are not invading countries and hurting others, they are just trying to live their lifes and help others. Some of the people that commited the horrible acts are misguided or have been hurt themselves to the point of madness. Which does not make it okay. Far from it. They are dangerous and should be stopped. But it also does not make them purely evil.

    No human should be viewed as an animal, even if they have done the most atrocious things, which Hamas has. This is not to reduce or deny the severity of what they and the Russian government has done or to deny the suffering they have caused. Not at all.

    But they are the ones viewing other as less than human, as animals. This is what makes them able to hurt others like this. And while it is very understandable that our own pain and empathy with those that are hurt makes us want to view them as animals, so we can hurt them back, I do not think it is the way to go. I think it is far more powerful to stop them while keeping our humanity. The more we do that, the more we show that we cannot be broken by them, no matter what they do.
