  • No, it’s worth blanket hating because most all of the commercial “AI”:

    1. Are trained illegally on copyrighted works where the vast majority of the human artists/writers behind their works did NOT consent to their work being used to train for-profit models.
    2. Are actively being used to replace peoples’ jobs in many sectors, which is causing yet more economic hardship all because execs are too fucking dumb to understand how not intelligent “AI” is.
    3. Use an insane amount of power to train, and a still very large amount to run queries/etc on. This has massively accelerated power and water usage in many regions. This directly accelerates global warming for giant corporations’ profits.
    4. Are not actual artificial intelligence, so are marketed with literal misinformation.

    I am amazed people are still this misinformed about why people dislike AI…


  • Hopefully they used a slightly different literal design, because the WTC had serious design flaws that allowed it to fall as it did.

    Basically, it’s columns along the outside held together only by the floors’ structure themselves. So when a plane took out a bunch of floors and the fire weakened more, there was suddenly an entire middle section that didn’t have any lateral support. This allowed the colimns along those sections to accordion in/out to begin the fall. Since buildings aren’t made to have dynamic forces of the scale of the entire freaking building’s weight, that made even the structurally sound sections fail on impact as the upper floors came down ontop of them, etc.

    There were also compounding construction issues, as the fire resistant coating was supposed to be sprayed directly on to the steel floor beams up to a minimum depth, but investigations even before the collapse showed the builders were lazy fucks and just sprayed large sections from one vantage point, leaving some areas thinner or not covered at all.

    If they used a similar design, something as simple as a typical fire could cause the whole thing to collapse.





  • Yes, and every single person who calls for a genocide is wrong. That should be utterly clear by now.

    What I mean when I say, “so they cannot be judged?” is to say ruling by numbers is utterly stupid. There is no quantity of people so great that they cannot be INDIVIDUALLY judged. If you liken judging hateful bigots who ARE committing a genocide as equal to a genocide of its own, then you are simply too stupid to understand this entire conversation…

    Is EVERYONE saying, “Nazis are bad” also asking for a “big bad genocide”? Or are they stating a fact of relaity that some ideologies are so gross that they do not deserve to be espoused without serious consequence? Seriously, your insistence on being ignorant to this makes me wonder where your morals actually lay… You are clearly espousing more zionism than “genocides are bad”…

    How are you this confused over two sentences? You are seriously braindead…

    English isn’t programming that’s why PHRASING is important. If you cannot understand that basic, utterly foundational tenant of communication, then there truly is no hope for you.

    Nobody should be required to understand what is meant by a poorly phrased sentiment. Good communication is about what messages can be received, not about what was intended. It’s exactly why professional writers say to avoid idioms. It doesn’t matter what is meant. It matters what can be received.

    It is wholly on you if you continue to fail to understand this utterly basic lesson of clear communication. One more time just to be clear: I am not against the sentiment of what was said. I am against phrasing it in such flippantly silly ways.
