I think western values, liberal democracy and personal freedoms are worth defending and fighting for. We have plenty of examples of radicalised brainwashed populations. The Germans under the Nazis weren't some subhuman monsters. They were just like us. Just part of a nation that had taken some...

Is it? Humans also want safety and predictability. Humanity have two strong drives in direct opposition. We want variety and abundance and we want safety and predictability. We can't have both, but we want both. I'd say no system is a particularly good fit for humans. It's simply a question of...

But that's a quite static way to look at which services are available in a market. Almost everything is dynamic in a market. The demanded price for toilet cleaning can get so high that nobody is willing to pay it. That's where Scandinavia is today when it comes to toilet cleaning in private...

Not only just a background. I currently work in IT. I don't do a lot of programming at work anymore. But I certainly know how to program and I do as much programming as my schedule allows, just to keep my knowledge fresh. I'm also working on a sotware hobby project with a team of professional...

It's funny that both Marxists and conservatives claim that they're not for equality of outcome. But only equality in oportunity. Both claim to be more meritocratic than the other.

Rich is a relative term. So compared to whom are you rich to? Everyone in the future can be rich if we compare to a median person today.

I don't know what that means. But I am surrounded by people who successfully use AI professionally, including me, and it's an awesome tool. I don't think it's a LinkedIn thing. It's reality.

Standing up for what is right isn't mindless apolagia. I don't like victim blaming. It's time to grow a spine.

So is any useful tool

It doesn't mimic humans. It's simply looks at patterns and makes a prediction based on statistics on similar requests. AI is not even retarded. It's even dumber. How is that the fault of the AI? Well, we can learn to empathise with art. Art isn't alive either. I've cried to Disney movies. I...

All I'm hearing is that you haven't tried solipsism yet. Everybody should. It's great.

I do art as a hobby. AI is awesome for art. I use it to check colour combinations before I start painting. Its amazing for prototyping. Same deal with writing poetry. It can count syllables and beats super fast. My impression is that the artists who have lost their jobs to AI sucked anyway...

We can and are influenced by narratives and stories in our culture even if you aren't consciously aware of them. You seem to be the standard product of a 70'ies to 90'ies western upbringing. We subconsciously absorb a hell of a lot of information. Information that we think is natural and...

If you don't want anyone to believe you then why make this thread? If you don't want people to believe you are God, then why not just shut up about it?

Wait a minute. What western colonialism introduced around the world was that war wasn't equated with ethnic cleansing. First invented by Cyrus the great. Ca 600 BC. The idea made it to the Greeks, then the Romans and then spread around the world in the age of colonialism. The Chinese...
