I play Honkai: Star Rail daily during commute. The day mission can mostly be auto'ed. More complicated quests can be done when you have time.

One of the best podcasts out there to keep track of the lunatics

Maybe try to learn from Mihoyo and focus on the gaming experience first?

When it comes to creative stuff (non-essential goods), I try to only support people with good conscience.

I have cut Netflix because of what the CEO has said. I have boycotted Ubisoft and Activision games because of the continued harassment issues in the company.

There are things I want to watch or play. But if this means supporting shitty people, I would instead prefer to use those resources to support the people I like. After all, its not like there are lack of entertainment in this world.

For essential goods (supermarket chains, goods made in less developed countries with labour issues, etc.), I am less strict because....well sometimes they are impossible to avoid.

Absolutely. Just because Altman "wishes" a new energy breakthrough its not suddenly going to happen. And even if nuclear fusion succeed, applying them in real life in scale is another big problem...

It has to be this way

Unfortunately the VC and also MSFT are betting the future on this kind.

Yup. That is definitely the biggest issue.

Very on brand for Altman.

Yes and no. We shouldn’t care about these people but we need to stop them from destroying our world (which they are doing).

Looking at some of the replied that tried to dismiss the issue and the general lack of concern from moderators against aggressive replies from AI apologists (in this thread but also other AI related threads) are disheartening.

The Gaza genocide is honest one of the most unacceptable world events in recent years. The fact that the US and some European countries failed to take any action against the genocide is disgusting.

Yup, I saw that too. There is also another thread on this board that is discussing this issue.

One interesting thing I noticed is how the AI apologists in this thread seems to be quiet on the other.

I used to have a personal website which I am seriously considering making one again.

But self hosting is something I don't want to work on right now. Neocities maybe one of the options.

Ah! Typical Amazon

This is very likely to be true.

It is supposedly a non-profit, and that is how the board of Open AI tried to fire Altman but than the big tech (Microsoft) intervened and wrestled the control.

Its basically Microsoft now.

People hate them not because it is fashionable, but because they can see what is coming.

Tech companies want to create tools that would replace million of jobs without compensating the very people that created these works in the first place.

Yup. I said it in another discussion before but think its relevant here.

Tech bros are more dangerous than Russian oligarchs. Oligarchs understand the people hate them so they mostly stay low and enjoy their money.

Tech bros think they are the savior of the world while destroying millions of people's livelihood, as well as destroying democracy with their right wing libertarian politics.

Said in another thread but I will repeat here. AIs are not humans. AIs' creative process and learning process are also different.

AIs are being used to make profit for executives while creators suffer.
