So close to having NSFW in it. What a shame.

And that justifies using the most primitive and stupid way to solve it? And not even an effective one at that.

Is one side of your brain in shut down or something? Seems like you can only think about things one-sidedly.

Dude, people are living their live. Israel chose to bomb their homes. Why is the Israel government and (some) people in the country such idiots for not finding better way to avoid harming civilians? Why are they attacking despite knowing it’s mostly killing civilians? Why are these murderous attackers so incompetent and heartless?

Do you think shields matter against intentional blind bombing on civilians? Or do you seriously think they are not purposely aiming for civilians with the way they chose to attack? Use your brain.

He’s being blunt, but his point is extremely valid.

Do you always remember things as is? Or do you remember an abstraction of it?

You also don’t need to know everything about something to be able to interpret risks and possibilities, btw.

Makes it harder to do protests like the ones before.

Dude thinks he’s a genius (he’s not). This is the problem when you only look at the outcome of something without factoring what caused it (lots of luck including birth lottery and the effort and talent of people around him in this case).

It’s only a problem at the moment because countries are trying to sustain an unsustainable economic model that requires endless growth. It will collapse eventually. Might as well not increase environmental problems as a trade off to make it last a bit longer.

Photoshop is a general purpose image editting tool that is mostly harmless. That’s not the same for AI. The people who created them and allow other people to use them do so anyway without enough consideration to the risks they know is much much higher than something like Photoshop.

What you say applies to photoshop because the devs know what it can do and the possible damage it can cause from misuse is within reasons. The AI you are talking about are controlled by the companies that create them and use them to provide services. It follows it is their responsibility to make sure their products are not harmful to the extend they are, especially when the consequences are not fully known.

Your reasoning is the equivalent of saying it’s the kids fault for getting addicted to predatory mobile games and wasting excessive money on them. Except that it’s not entirely their fault and programs aren’t just a neutral tool but a tool that is customised to the wills of the owners (the companies that own them). So there is such a thing as an evil tool.

It’s all those companies, and the people involved, as well as law makers responsiblity to make the new technology safe with minimal negative impacts to society rather than chase after their own profits while ignoring the moral choices.

Because they are not assuming that. What they’re assuming is less overlap on a Venn diagram.

Who’s gonna bet China is going to use this to bring back headlines of their propaganda from years ago about how covid-19 actually originated in the US?

And then XVideos would be canon.

It’s been a while since I did an “e-kek-kek-kek” laugh with a dumb smile on my face.

Lol, I can assure you he’s not doing things right, and it’s all luck and a lot of willingness to be an asshole. The achievements come from the passionate engineers and scientists.

At least the Dutch is already doing it.

Personally, they are the same sort of trash ever since I realise I can’t access its content from a web browser and I have to download the app with an account, so from the start.

The abusive relationship is with Reddit, not the community they moderate. A more accurate analogy is tolerating the abusive person because you don’t want to completely lost contact with many other people you care about just because of that one guy who they’re still friend with. The answer then become less clear cut than just cut off the toxic person. It becomes a question of when the abusive person becomes toxic enough that even the prospect of keeping in touch with other people you care about isn’t worth it any more. That is going to be different for everyone and there’s no right answer as it completely depends on the person. It is still possible that someone misjudge and they’d be better off leaving earlier, but what that earlier point is still has to be decided first according to their own circumstances.

To illustrate my point. Some people believe it’s the right thing to do to leave Reddit much earlier than this year, such as when they let /r/the_donald operated freely. In this case here because you decided to stay until 1-2 months ago, you are also part of the problem that “stayed and helped Reddit build Reddit”.

I think this post simplified the situation in a way that misrepresented the motivation of some moderators.

I could see myself doing that tbh, but for other things. There’s always this urge to promote the less well known stuff. It just depends on when you’re in the mood to actually type it out.
