@lowqualityfacts it’s because this isn’t about productivity, it’s about control

@rbreich it’s not corrupting it, it has always been corrupt, and will always be for as long as it exists

I love summer thunderstorms, the way you can feel it building up in the air before it happens, the distant thunder and the first few raindrops hitting the dusty dry ground, and then suddenly all of that tension built up in the air erupts into this beautiful spectacle. I love the smell in the air and the way the light reflects in the rain. I love opening my window and watching, listening to, and feeling the thunderstorm sometimes for hours at night. Something about it feels freeing, a brief moment the monotony of everyday life gets broken and this awe-inspiring force of nature breaks loose. I love watching as lightening dances across the sky and I love hearing the soothing noise of the rain interrupted by the deep, haunting, voice-like rumbling of thunder. I feel kind of sad as the birds begin to sing and the rain slowly falls silent, hoping the storm will stay just a little longer before the world returns to normalcy and the storm comes to an end.

(And yes, I know this is a pretty privileged perspective since I can watch this from the comfort of my home, unlike those who don’t have a home)

The thunderstorm has ended. A feeling of yearning washes over me as I close the window and the curtains. Normalcy has returned with all its oppressive weight. Faintly I see one last flash of lightening, and I feel heavy and light at the same time.

@lanodan @aran @rlmcelreath who says you have to believe actual ai is going to become a thing at any point in the foreseeable future (or at any point in the future at all) if you, as you say, “link AI with some kind of intelligent behavior” (the I does stand for intelligence…). I don’t “believe” in science fiction, I just think that actual AI is still just in the realm of science fiction and will probably stay there for a long time. I feel like the current usage of the word for any kind of fancy algorithm is misleading and PR bullshit to build hype.

@Daedalus @jeffowski so that they can feel comfortable spreading their ideology, still having friends to turn to, feeling accepted by society and like their ideology is just another political opinion they can hold? So that they can spread their ideology to people like you and people in your social circle? So that they can endanger any marginalized people you might regularly interact with? Nazis need to be ostracized, they need to feel unwelcome, their ideology needs to be stopped from spreading, their support networks need to be destroyed in order to stop them (and perhaps to make them realize that being a nazi is not worth the loss of power and comfort, but I think it’s pretty unlikely to be able to change their minds… people like you offering comfort reinforce their power however), they need to be unacceptable and to be ostracized by everyone, and I don’t feel safe around people like you, I’m terrified of your fascist friends and what information people like you might leak to people like them about people like me or people marginalized in more ways than me, of the ideology you tend to absorb by being around them (you are not immune to propaganda), I’m terrified of you and what people i interact with might be like you, and I will never trust you. So enjoy your block.

@pecet @alanferrier for the same reason that child labor shouldn’t be a thing, and why people work shitty jobs that ruin their health despite not wanting to. There’s not really “voluntary” when it comes to stuff like that, people do it out of desperation because we live in a system in which you need money to survive, the cost of living is constantly rising and wages are not, and as surviving becomes harder and harder for poor people they might be forced to do things like selling their kidney. There’s nothing voluntary about that. And also this way it becomes even more impossible for poor people with kidney disease to survive.
