This whole thread is a bunch of people fellatiating each other and validating an idea predicated on gross misunderstanding of a topic. When information is incorrect you should say so. How people react to that is usually more about them than the information itself.

It’s really not my problem that two or three people are talking out of their asses on a topic. They’re opinion based in ignorance shouldn’t be treated equally to people who are more educated on a topic.It’s not about them. They’re confident morons. Its about presenting better info for others.

Basically, anyone who actually takes the time to read about the foundations of what goes into an AI understands, it’s already everywhere, it’s not going away, but what guys like Musk are doing with it is irresponsible, stupid, and overall a waste of time, resources and potential.

… but people forget that ChatGPT is an AI in the same way that most things that run on machine learning are, but ultimately one is useful and one is a fad, yea. That doesn’t mean the technology as a whole is a fad, or should go away, just how we use it and think of it needs to shift

That’s literally my point. The perception of AI being a fad is predicated directly on people jumping to things like ChatGPT and in that regard I agree, it is. I also feel that that is what most people believe because that’s what rich people want it to be, to mine data, to make more money….

Not the point. The point I’m making is, you can do both but getting ugly occasionally is necessary. Im part of the neurodivergent community. I’m not saying it gets a pass, I’m saying this isn’t actually hurting anyone who hasn’t earned it so people need to chill and deal with bigger problems

And before anyone gets any cute ideas that’s not an excuse to just accept objectionable legislation from the past when the majority of people can recognize that it is incorrect or harmful, like in the case of slavery. The rhetoric on the right lately is disturbing, not just objectionable

Right. Your exactly right. There is a big difference between “I don’t agree with these policies and they hurt people but the majority of the country has decided this makes sense.” And “The existing power structure was barely voted in, and largely is harming most people and changing laws”

It’s been functional until Trump, people are just generally under educated. Now could you make the arguement that an undereducated populace makes a democracy non-functional? Yea I suppose, but ultimately that’s the default of civilization, not education.

And as far as realizing it all in 2020 I agree, but again most of his first term to the average person that’s not tuned in, just said “oh that’s just bad policy, not fascism” because until the insurrection itself, it wasn’t in your face enough. Americans are self centered 🤷🏽‍♂️

Entirely fair! I’m not saying he was not fascist then he was. I’m saying the perception of the American public is finally shifting because initially people could chalk things up to “this is bad policy but we could vote him out” and now it’s overt.

I am once again begging you to remember that "illegal" does not mean "impossible." "Illegal" does not mean "you cannot do that." It means that the government can, but is not required, to impose a penalty upon you if you do it anyway. No more, and no less.

…in a republic of representative government. Here it means “what the majority of us have decided the enforcement structure will enforce, and what we have decided should cease”. We have that power. It also means any who would change the definition of legal without the people, should be removed

Legality only means something to those that do not have the means of enforcement. Illegal means “whoever controls the enforcement structure has deemed this forbidden”. It does not mean ontologically correct, or incorrect. It doesn’t mean it can’t happen as your stating. But it’s a step further…

If you are the kind of liberal who is still griping about the genocide in Gaza like we wouldn’t be in a better spot, and they wouldn’t maybe be in a better spot, hear this. Trump won key swing states as a direct result of that rhetoric. You did this. Your part of the problem. The genocide in Gaza…

Because here’s the thing, as infuriating as it was to watch us slide into this, slow and painful, we had to uphold some degree of societal normalcy to keep this together if there was any hope of reconciliation. Now? Now there will only be justice and injustice. That’s all they’ve left us with.

Then they went ahead and started taking peoples families, and sending them to camps in other countries. Then they started targeting legislation towards elections. When they started arresting the competition without cause, suspending due process… now we aren’t a democracy. Now is time. Before was not

Well no, here’s the thing man, I’ve hated this man since about 2018. I let a lot go at first, because bad policy is not the same as fascism. His first term there were lots of nods but nothing overtly passed what Americans are used to. Just bad policy. Initially this time? Mainly just bad policy. (1)

You need empathy and language. Empathy and language are important to any cause, and it’s not ok what he said, truly but people are allowed to make a mistake, and they are allowed to be emotional. We need to fight with empathy, but not buy into our own shit to much

Liberal purity tests. Look at all these liberals pissed off he used the R word, while entirely missing what the post was about. It just serves as division points in a group of people that DRASTICALLY need to unify and become a force for good, right now, and instead this is what we worry about?

Whats psychotic here is that enough people are fine with this, it’s accepted. There should be riots in the streets over these things. Worse than that, yet here we are. No real resistance beyond angry people shouting. We need action. We need people willing to protect communities

Slurs aren’t ok, but what you have to understand is the term “retarded” like most slurs, wasn’t always a slur. In this context it absolutely is and while I don’t agree, I personally feel that fucking up one time while talking about the most evil people we have, is kinda fair.

I do actually think he, definitionally, fits the word but I also agree we’re at a point in history where it’s become more a slur than the original meaning, so while I agree if I’m honest, the fascists are a lot more pressing an issue than regulating our own speech.
