Sometimes I'll watch a video and as soon as I realize the voice is AI generated, I stop watching

I'm no longer a Christian but when people tried to get jesus to weigh in on hot button political issues of his day (probably to entrap him into saying something that would piss off either the zealots or the romans) he told them "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's; render unto god what is God's". The meaning, I take it, is that he was there with a spiritual message, not a political one

If you need to send sms to someone not on signal, why not just send them an sms

My dad won't switch from Facebook messenger so now we have to talk via unencrypted sms

Beyond Good and Evil

Yeah would be sick if LLMs and bots just disappeared overnight

Welcome to Costco. I love you

You can opt out of paying for them. If I ran a business, I'd probably try self hosting before I used slack, but it would probably become very difficult at scale

Well thems the breaks!

They're meant to prevent bot traffic to sites and protect from DDOS attacks

Why is this bad

Only because you're only reading the comment at face value. Humans existentially require roles. Sometimes that role is caregiver, sometimes it's parent, and sometimes it's fireman or garbage truck driver. If we live in a world where machines can do everything better than humans, what is the point of a human? If a robot does all the work around the house and cooks and cleans and I get a check for a few thousand every month, what am I contributing to my family? If I'm not a provider, what am I?

And you can say this is some kind of capitalist indoctrination but I sincerely believe this is biology. Men, especially, define themselves by their ability to contribute to their families or to society. Men are impacted more heavily by layoffs than women are, for example. When a man loses his job he's likely to fall into a depressive malaise of self pity and feelings of uselessness.

That's not applicable here. A Scotsman is not defined by his behaviors, but his ancestral homeland. Liberalism and socialism are defined by their policy initiatives, otherwise the terms become meaningless when we ascribe any negative american political behavior to them.

All EU countries are liberal democracies. The United States falls far short of its liberal commitments. Just because American democrats abuse Big-L Liberalism doesn't mean that small-l liberalism is without meaning.

Art and Coding would be seen as quaint in a world where AI can produce more of it faster and better than a human ever hoped. You'd know in the back of your mind that what you are doing is pointless

If we did UBI today, then yeah, I see people finding roles for themselves in society that aren't measured by dollars. I mean if we live in a world where AI has replaced not just coding jobs but has basically replaced all jobs. Cooking, cleaning, factories, farming, etc.

I dont see a point in such a world. What am I contributing? Not to my employer; what am I contributing to my family? What is my job if not to provide for my family?

That's actually not how a political ideology works! Do you believe that socialism is about exterminating your political enemies because nearly every socialist country in history did so? Or is it more likely that the people who label themselves with a political identity often fail to live up to their own ideals? Or that they never believed in those ideals in the first place and used it as a convenient tribe to gain power? Because liberalism has no opinion on the shape of park benches, that's just stupid

It's not about making money, it's about contributing to society, supporting your family. Being useful

How about you give them a wife and kids to take care of at the same time. Life would feel pretty pointless if I was only working to support myself

Oh so someone calls themselves a liberal and that makes everything they do an example of liberalism?

Everyone defines themselves by their role. If you're only living for yourself, not helping anyone or doing anything for anyone else, why live?
