Hi there. Sorry about that. You didn’t break any rules explicitly, it was just a preemptive move. Things tend to get pretty obnoxious when the bean nonsense restarts. I was just nipping it in the bud before it blew up again. Please don’t take this as anything personal, I have no issue with you.

It was the guy played by Don Cheadle. He turned people into fuckin trees.

Did you know that people can go on the Internet and tell lies?

I’ve been doing this forever and haven’t received a single cent.

Only the filthiest for you. Also please send me some bleach, it’s for my eyes.

What the fuck’s a mogbattle

Be nice. And in regards to your earlier comment I missed 9 months ago: there is no relevant distinction to me. Don’t denigrate anyone based on any of them. This isn’t really up for discussion.

Eh. I’m allowing it. The bar really is that low.

… What?

Mod here . I found this amusing, and op is good sport, so fuck y’all I’m leaving it up. 😁

It’s just low effort posting for amusement. The less you think about it, the better.

Goddamnit. I’m gonna get sooo many reports from this post.

The worst part for me? Fuckin beans.

Also want to point out that the only other option was to die.

Tell some men.

Not this bullshit again, I swear to fuckin God

After all, if it wasn’t delicious, why would they dye it that delicious pink?!?

I was told there’d be free acid here for showing up. Where’s mine?

You’re missing my point, though. You pay lip service to wanting something to be done about this, but all your words only spout doom and gloom in a defeatist attitude. Your words actively betray your supposed intentions.

If you actually wanted progress in this matter, you would benefit from changing your messaging. Otherwise, you just look like every other troll that’s actually pro-nazi.

So which is it?

My dude. I don’t think you’re fully aware of the scope here.

To give context, decades ago, people were saying the same shit about Photoshop.

Before that, it was digital printing in general. Decades before that, photography. Same for other media. Special effects in TV and Movies. Hell, motion pictures. Go even further back, you’ve got the Luddites. If you’re not familiar with those poor bastards, give the subject a read.

There’s no real fight against this tide you see coming. This “AI infection.” Technology progresses regardless. Like every complexity in life, there are good and bad effects, and whether we like it is irrelevant in the grander scheme. The Luddites got absolutely fucked, and the industrial revolution kept churning.

But let’s table that discussion of “if I can do something”, and get to “why”.

a lot of people Do NOT like the AI bullshit

That’s fair. I am often one of them. But why should I value these opinions more than those of others? We already have a system for people to express those opinions. It’s the voting system. And unless something violates our very, very tiny ruleset, I have no reason to intervene. If enough people want to change that rule set, then we’ll discuss it and make the changes.

But until then, let’s let people post their shit. Some might like it.

You raise fair points, but I want to circle back to intent. Because what you’re advocating in your last sentence is hurt by your original comment.

The whole point of “it’s happened once before” is to show that something is actually possible. It’s not theoretically possible, there’s a real world example to show it.

Bringing up counterexamples does not change that.

You can show one counterexample. Ten. A hundred. A thousand examples of when something didn’t work. They don’t negate the one time it did.

And to go even further, you should frame all those counterexamples as simply learning lessons. Examples on how not to do it. Because the framing here matters. If you want someone to be smart and try to find a solution, you frame history that way.

If you’re trying to discourage others from trying, you do it the way you initially did.
