Interesting, thanks for the info. I’ll have to google around about this when I have some free time today

What’s a DNS server?

Musk isn’t gonna pay you for all these apologetics you’re making in this post

You think conspiracy theories in general sound reasonable, don’t you

Eh this is a much harder topic than you make it seem. For people like you and me, this may be the best approach to change our minds on things, but we also are the type of people to look at the facts around Musk and already come to the conclusion that he’s a far-right, duplicitous manchild.

The people that flock to him and others like him, however, are not the type to respond to just the facts. They’re invested emotionally into some aspect of what Musk is “selling” them. I don’t know what the correct response is to try and win these people over to reality, but calm, reasoned responses to the monkey throwing its shit around the interview room isn’t how you win over the people on the monkey’s side. They already know he throws his shit around and they like it

Hey cut Musk some slack, average people aren’t actually people

He’s looking for someone in the first column, but created this nice little second column for them to move all their justifications into

Well I’ve never heard of a religious person claiming AI could have a soul in the religious sense, and “soul” has other meanings than the religiously literal one, so yes?

“That’s "suppressing theft masquerading as art is awesome” you hear in that comment."

Emphasis mine. The context clues make the intended meaning pretty obvious

There an alternative?

Oh buddy come on you can’t actually be misunderstanding how they used “horrible.” They’re not saying it’s bad quality they’re saying it’s bad morally

I’m curious what you mean by soul here, if you’re using it in a metaphorical sense or the religious sense

If you’re talking about politicians then I’d agree with you. If you’re talking about their wealthy donors like the Koche Brothers, Heritage Foundation, etc, they absolutely do. I would not say it’s the above person’s guess about forcing more births due to lowering birth rates, but they definitely have societal goals in mind

While two things can be true simultaneously, I just still don’t agree that it should be considered a shame they didn’t get to experience retirement, as that heavily implies they were at some level swept into that shame of a scenario by other forces. To make an extreme comparison, it’d be like saying it’s a shame hitler didn’t get to transition into a peaceful retirement. He (and they) created the destructive environment that closed that option off; it’s not a shame they couldn’t retire, it’s a shame they’re the kind of people in power in the first place.

Just because they’re being inhumane doesn’t mean we need to be.

It’s not inhumane to lack sympathy for someone who actively hurt the system everyone relies on, for their own personal gain, just because they didn’t also get a cherry on the top of their sundae
