I don't really like it when they kill things but to be fair I had literally never heard of this. I don't think its going to be a big loss.

I'm not going to tell you what to do but if I were you I wouldn't open carry. MAGA want an excuse; just concealed carry.

I don't think that the gift in itself is a problem or that your son should return it, however I would talk to your son about a power imbalance and make sure that his friend isn't asking for anything in return or manipulating him. Expensive gifts that have to be paid back is a tactic that gangs (allegedly) use to recruit people but if they are really best friends then I wouldn't be worried.

free (or at least it was when I did it)

Hi, I'm the writer of the article.

To be clear I am not trying to attack anyone who uses AI, just explain why I don't use it myself.

Energy use: false

I don't dispute that AI energy is/might be comparable to other things like making a AAA game (or other things like traveling). I also don't want to say that 'AI is bad'. However if I used AI more, I would still play the same amount of video games, thus increasing the total energy use. If I was to use AI it would probably replace lower energy activities like writing or searching the internet.

Copyright, yes it’s a problem and should be fixed. But stealing is part of capitalism. Google search itself is based on stealing content and then selling ads to find that content.

I agree with you that the copyright angle is a bad way to attack AI, however AI does seem like it 'gives back' to creatives even less than other things like search as well as actively competing with them in a way that search doesn't. This isn't my main objection so I don't really want to focus on it.

His last reason was new and completely absurd

I considered leaving out the "I just don't like it" reason but I wanted to be completely transparent that my decision isn't objective. This is only one reason out of many - if it was just this problem then I would be quicker to ignore it. I get your point about EV's - I don't hate them despite the fact that Musk is/was an advocate for them. If I was to use a AI it would be something like Jan.ai which @Flagstaff@programming.dev mentioned.

Do you agree with me on my other main point on reliability?

Wait why is Harris even running again? I don't think she's that bad but I can't vote in US elections - the electorate rejected her.
