This articulates my frustration with the internet/lemmy extremely well. I’ve saved it for future reference and I’m optimistically hopeful for the future when maybe this isn’t something so many people need to see.

Nestle produces a lot of other things than sugar and fat. So much in fact that it’s actually hard to completely avoid them. The point is that they are a terrible company who does bad things, so you should boycott them.

Also, people can indulge in sugar and fat if they want to.

Little edit on that past point because some people don’t understand indulge doesn’t always mean over indulge, or they outright think I’m deranged because I might indulge in a chocolate bar as a treat in my otherwise varied and balanced diet and I suggested others might do the same if they want to.

I understand too much fat and chocolate is bad, that doesn’t mean the world should never eat things that might be bad for them in moderation, relax.

People should normalize drinking from decadent cups. I would love it if someone offered me some lemonade at their house and it came in a cup like this.

I thought race direction was on the money today. I’ve no interest in stop start races or races with endless safety cars. F1 causes too much spray and if the drivers can’t see you can’t really justify a race with an acceptable level of risk. The only way we would get wetter races is with a complete redesign of the cars, which would probably lower the performance so much that it just wouldn’t be F1 anymore.

He’s being out classed by Oscar this year.

I was struggling to make sense of what you were saying at first, but actually it worked well when you could watch Monaco before Indy because of the timezones. Now I assume that won’t be possible so I think that’s the issue?

We might get a couple laps towards the end of the 3 hour race window, but it’s never going to be a full race today. Sad times.

Edit: crofty and brundle just said in commentary that the 3 hours hasn’t actually started because the race never started. I’m more optimistic with this information.

We had some dialogue in replies to your deleted comment, where we did seem to agree that communities should have rules for ai content. My post is an attempt at highlighting the tiresome situation we are in where such a contentious issue is not moderated.

I’m disappointed by the majority of responses missing that point and thinking I’m suggesting people allow ai anywhere, and that I have my head in the sand about the issues surrounding ai use. I said i get it, I do. I didn’t expect I would need to say any more than that.

I’m not a good communicator, clearly, but I’ve been a little shocked by how much flaming has taken place here. Unpopular opinion indeed!

Ironically, this reads like an LLM wrote it. That’s also supported by the fact it hasn’t really got much to do with what I said. I’m aware of the reasons why people may be hesitant to see ai content. I’m tired of people complaining and scrutinizing instead of anything being done to update community rules.

Just so you know, my preference is for no ai. I’m of similar opinions to you on the broader subject, but I’m just not confrontational about it. I don’t agree there is an etiquette to be observed, the matter isn’t mature enough to have developed one.

You’re tired of ai content in your feed, but the majority of communities allow ai by proxy because there isn’t a stance one way or the other.

The reason this was posted in unpopular opinion is because I am aware the popular opinion is an anti-ai stance. It makes the most sense to me to implement appropriate rules rather than have no rules and then be outraged when ai shows up in your feed.

Are you lost?

This might be hard for you to believe, but I don’t disagree. I think it’s time to set community or instance rules one way or the other rather than have no rules and outrage.

I wasn’t sure what other word to use to describe the phenomenon.

Communities should have rules if people don’t like the torrent of ai content, the amount of noise is loud enough to justify it in many places and it’s bizarre to perpetuate the outrage and not have any action.

You hate ai, yet don’t want to prohibit it in the communities you subscribe to?

Surely adding rules to the community is the best way forward here.

You got me. Hiel

No I’m not upset about that. I’m upset that this is taking over the majority of the discussion here and the way I worded that is that I’m beginning to find it tiresome. I’m unsure why communities don’t choose a stance so people can go to the ones that ban ai and go back to talking about beans and moths or whatever.

Imagine if the communities had rules for ai, so you could curate your feed accordingly.

Yeah way over due something like this. I genuinely think it’s detrimental to the experience here otherwise.

User name checks out.

I said I get it; I don’t disagree. I’m just saying I’m tired of it now and would rather have community or instance rules at this point.

As for what do I expect from this post, this is the unpopular opinion community, what did you expect when you came here?
