  • Look, religion is one thing, science is another.

    Jainism is a religion, as peaceful as it is, it also has it’s flaws. Some jains use dairy products because it is generally acceptable, though with modern practices it obviously violates their core principles, but loopholes like that are common to religions.

    Veganism is pretty simple and practical, it is all about reducing harm. Of course each vegan has their own interpretation of what constitutes as unnecessary harm and what doesn’t, but it is rooted in our scientific understanding of who can actually be harmed.

    It is far more than a diet, it is the understanding that my wants are not above others needs and rights, human or otherwise.

    The way I see it, Veganism is the most moral framework that is rooted in reality.









  • I think this is also a big part of the issue.

    Many countries are only recently in the phase of over consumption, meaning that parents and grandparents are often teaching kids early on to not waste food in a extremely unhealthy manner once you are in the context of over consumption.

    For some people their parents grew up in a time where wasting the last few bites of a meal, or letting food go bad, or not eating food that in front of you would actually be bad. Like, if you didn’t eat the last few bites you are wasting a valuable resource that you might not get the privilege of eating tomorrow.

    But for example in many parts of the US right now, you are much better off learning to throw food away than to learn to force feed yourself.

    It is a shame that the world is like that, but the reality is that for many people today, being okay with throwing away food is an actually important part of staying healthy.


  • Sadly with how this tech is going I don’t think it’s possible to stop it from being used like that by the masses.

    I just hope that the people who do, would at least be aware of it’s shortcomings.

    I myself would never use it like that, but I understand the appeal. There is no awkwardness because it isn’t a person, it tends to be extremely supportive and agreeable, and many people perceive it as intelligent. All of this combined makes it sound like a really good therapist, but that is of course missing the core issues of this tech.

    That’s the point though…

    Without censorship it just does what it thinks would be best fitting. It means that if the AI thinks that encouraging you to take drugs, suicide, murder, etc would fit best, then it will do that.

    Any censored model would immediately catch this specific case and give a more “appropriate” response such as “As an AI model I can’t help you with that…” But given a long enough and complex enough chat even a censored model might bypass the censorship and give an inappropriate response.

    This was just a SFW example, the results would be the same even if I asked it truly terrible things.
