lmao that’s actually so stupid I’m not even going to bother responding

Farming, fishing, and electricity inherently degrade our planet far more than AI.

They’re also necessary for existence (at least the first two, but when it comes to medical applications, really electricity too).

AI slop? Nope.

Likewise the plans for making a hydrogen bomb are a close kept government secret, because nuclear proliferation increases the likelihood of radiological accidents or even nuclear war.

I think they removed it, but I watched a documentary on Netflix explaining how to make a basic nuclear bomb.

Really the only hard part is obtaining the enriched uranium. Which is, thankfully, very hard.

True, there are more valid reasons to hate AI, like that its usage inherently degrades the livability of our only planet or that it only functions due to artistic and intellectual property theft.

However, you’re glossing over the reality that AI is already being used in weapons. It was also used by my government’s regime to illegally kidnap the president of another country, even.

Fans of nuclear power can’t easily build nuclear plants in their backyard.

Speak for yourself, casual

“Hypothetically, some magical bullshit could happen contrary to the known laws of physics (not to mention economics), and that would make me right. Bet you didn’t think of that huh?”

Win every argument with this high-level lobotomite strategy!

…No, you can’t, because then your point is “maybe one day, space magic will be real!” And that makes you sound like a lobotomite.

Almost like both nations are colonial capitalist blights on the human species or something!

There have always been issues.

That is a crazy way to diminish the reality that this nation only exists because of a holocaust and only became an economic powerhouse because of slavery.

America has never been worth a god damn thing. Some Americans are fine people, but the system, the nation? Designed to be diseased.

Snap out of your American exceptionalism fever-dream and step into the real world, please.

I don’t know man I just eat whatever Grocery Outlet allows me to

The few brands I’ve stopped buying were because they do business in Pissrael

lmao “when scientists and engineers figure out how to do it”. You can’t just engage in magical thinking and frame it as science, sorry.

They’re arguing in favor of AI. They already don’t care about other people, unfortunately.

Very true, I love gardening, but its very hard to eke out a meaningful calorie count.

Potatoes.

Until you get blight, anyway, then you’re fucked.

Religion is used by capitalists to manipulate the masses. They aren’t actually religious though, or at least a very small minority of them.

Anyway I didn’t say religion has no effect on the state of the world. I said it’s not the main driver, and I fully stand by that.

Sure they do, but if you think they’re actually Christian more than they’re capitalist, you aren’t paying attention.

It’s not warming the planet so it’s definitely a backseat evil right now

People have gotten stupid because billionaires have orchestrated the gutting of education and people are too exhausted, not “lazy”, because they’re overworked by billionaires.

Capitalism is always the problem. Okay, very rarely organized religion or genuine natural disasters, but almost always capitalism.

I agree the whataboutism is lame as fuck, but idk about “absolves the USA of responsibility”. The US didn’t really even pretend this was about “bringing democracy” or whatever. The Trump admin waffled between “Israel made us do it :(” and “WOOWW LOOK AT ALL THIS OIL”

The US-Israeli propaganda machine is totally broken since Gaza. They knew there was no point in even trying to play a humanitarian angle.

My 6th grade teacher paid to take the entire class to Knotts Berry Farm before we ‘graduated’ from elementary school. The school only paid for the bus and gas afaik.

My point there not being that most teachers should do more, just that my 6th grade teacher was cool as fuck and extremely selfless

…What?
