@thatsamouri It's also exhausting being from a place that does not feel the extremes of climate change yet. Many people where I'm from think it's not a real threat since they don't feel it personally, meanwhile there are several countries about to be uninhabitable
@thatsamouri Yup. I can remember as a child, the pond near my home would freeze over around mid-December and we could skate on it until March or April. Nobody has been able to skate on that pond in years during winter anymore 😔
"A socialist is just someone who is unable to get over his or her astonishment that most people who have lived and died have spent lives of wretched, fruitless, and unnecessary suffering."
Terry Eagleton
inconveniencing thousands upon thousands of ordinary people and countless local businesses on a holiday weekend for something so gauche, inconsequential and tacky…..ooh it gets under my skin man
I mean, yeah. I haven't been able to afford a console since switch 1 and haven't been able to justify buying any new games that are over $30 since 2019 🙃 and I've been an avid gamer since the 90s
We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas
Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.
You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.
“Use AI or get left behind.”
I don’t think you understand how desperately I yearn to be left behind. Go on without me. Leave me alone with my critical thinking skills.
Working class conservatives are trained to be cattle. Lapping up billionaire propaganda and voting against their own economic interests decade after decade. They’re so docile & easily manipulated by the worst people on earth it’s tragic.
What sucks is that life could be so easy. So easy. There are enough resources to end world hunger, homelessness, and poverty. We could slow down and fairly utilize and distribute them. Instead, everyone suffers while 20 men control half the world’s wealth.
Canadians don't want to become like China where 90% of people own homes. That would offer dignity to people they feel are undeserving.
In Canada we endorse the suffering of homeless and condemn them for even trying to survive in our hostile climate.
Just to be clear, I do not just haťe generative Al. I also haťe golf, lawns, space tourism, war, monoculture farming, clear cutting forests, building on floodplains, deep sea mining, developments that destroy habitats, and corporations bulldozing ecosystems for endless growth.
I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.
Pure evil scum. The definition of greed and wealth hoarding. I hate that humanity has gotten to this point. This should not exist while there is so much suffering in the world. He has the ability to do so much good, but he won't. Karma will get you bitch
