Look, if you want to abuse the LLM that's within your rights but I will adjust my opinion of your character accordingly
How you treat human-seeming entities when there are no stakes or real-world consequences to you is revealing
If you ask pro-capitalist people why a job like, say, sanitation work has such an abysmal wage even though the job is necessary, they’ll tell you that it is an unskilled occupation. We could contest that, but for the sake of argument, let’s concede. By this logic, value is derived from how much labor is required to accomplish something—in this case, the labor of learning the skill in addition to the labor of completing the task at hand. A doctor, then, would earn a much higher wage because of the labor required to obtain the necessary degrees to practice. Okay. But then, if you ask a pro-capitalist people again why the price of a pair of glasses, a mattress, or even a bottle of water is so expensive, despite these things being cheap and easy to make, they’ll tell you that value is not determined by the labor that goes into producing something, but by need and demand. This inconsistency reveals how neoliberal economics functions: the value of something means whatever is most convenient for the ruling class.
The problem with anti-AI activists online is that they're almost all extremely technically illiterate so they're in this losing asymmetrical position where everything that computers do is mysterious and weird and scary.
@RemSOUNDLIFE It's so weird too. Every time they try to shove in GIJoe into the mix, it's always met with a backlash and eye rolls. Yet they keep doing this and trying again and again!!
the assumption is that you find yourself by looking inward, but I think you can stare too long. you begin with curiosity and end up dissecting yourself - like you’re trying to explain why you are the way you are and you turn yourself into some sort of specimen.
sometimes the only way out is to forget yourself. disappear into something real. become so absorbed that there is no room left to monitor your own existence. throw yourself into the fire of an all consuming pursuit.
maybe the self reveals itself best when it isn’t being watched.
