lol thanks, and that’s actually not surprising.

How does one figure that out? I’ve seen Harris supporters generally called centrists, and centrists compared with nazis.

America is a big place, and how people will react to you depends entirely on where you go. Racial incidents increased after Trump took office in 2016 and they probably will again now, but in general you’re totally safe.

“All your ideas are ours and you owe us money for thinking them” is actually a good summary of anti-AI sentiment.

Nice projection - those of us who voted for Harris even though she wasn’t ideal aren’t mature adults who tried to prevent the situation we’re in now, we’re just centrist nazis with our heads in the sand! Keep telling yourselves that when the SWAT team assaults your Moral Purity pedestal. The truth is that we actually tried and you didn’t.

But a living human artist also learned to draw dancing cows and roombas on the moon that way. It just didn’t take thousands.

My question is why this logic doesn’t apply to anybody who learns anything and goes on to use that knowledge in their work without explicit permission. For example, authors generally learn to be good authors by reading the work of other good authors. Do they morally owe all past authors a share of whatever money they make?

Honest opinion: IDGAF where people login. Market share is for corporations to worry about.

IMO we’re here because of the 10 million Democrats who voted for Biden in 2000 and refused to show up in 2024. Bonespurs only won by a little over 2 million. Harris should have kicked his ass, but oh now, she “supports genocide”. Last week the long, difficult Gaza ceasefire negotiation process finally paid off. Funny how nobody’s talking much about it.

They can indoctrinate for a while, but education (as opposed to vocational training) inherently encourages critical thinking skills that make people progressively more resistant to the indoctrination.

Investing in education is the mark of a rising nation. Imposing lifelong debt for it is the mark of a falling one.

By “new aristocracy” I think you mean “entrenched aristocracy getting worse”.

If you ask a question and you say, “but don’t say the answer,” you’re just asking for an echo chamber.

twooooooooooooo!

I once heard a Joni Mitchell song that was one of my college gf’s favorites, and it instantly teleported my brain to running across a lawn by her dorm to go see her on a random day after class. Her room was at the end of a hallway by the fire escape, so I used to go up the metal stairs at the back of the dorm. I was in my 30s but suddenly felt totally like my 20-yo self again. It’s amazing how much detail we store in our brains.

Well hey then that makes it their achievement! No idea but it wouldn’t be surprising.

Turn it into a curry.

Why I would rather get shot than waxed.

just loafin’ around

Right on man! First they’re telling you where to drive and how fast, then they’re takin’ away ur gunz!
