I get that the glib answer will be “so they can make money”
But what is the actual thought process they are pretending to go through here? Cause the experience of being a prompt engineer is not some sought after experience like how people pay to be movie PAs for free or work as an artist assistant.
I honestly don’t even know what to say lol. How do you think anyone forms an identity ever? We have - I was going to type decades - but centuries of case studies and writing about why people get roped into cults of personality and insane belief systems despite looking like lunatics from the outside.
What do you even think is happening to these people? Based on your previous reply the answer is “I have no idea” which should tell you you should look a little deeper into what’s happening.
I’ve honestly never encountered this artist and don’t know any of the drama around them.
Can I say her art style sucks just to win the prize for a bingo though?
Maybe they’re too far gone, but you’re talking about impressionable young boys, like 10-16. At those ages we as a society agree that a lot of all childrens personalities aren’t dictated by their own choices since they lack the life experiences and cognitive abilities to function as an adult. Instead they’re highly impressionable, influenced by their social sphere and nowadays their social media feeds.
So sure, maybe you could say they’re fucked from the jump, but understand that they are not taking as active of a role in who’s forming their thought processes like a 25 year old getting hooked on Tate is.
That’s… Their point? Either you misread what they said or you wrote your response wrong.
Yeah, it’s like an AI parodied an xkcd comic.
This… Almost looks like the op of this post used AI to translate and change the art style of this comic.
All fun and games when a grey hat hacker “hacks” his way into your living room through your window and starts turning on your lights without your permission.
Pov: you started a story at the smoke sesh with “be me”
They know we know.
To add to this, morality can be entirely subjective, but yeah, of course if I see someone kicking puppies in the street I’ll think: “That’s intrinsically morally wrong.” Before I try to play in the space of “there’s no true morality and their perspective is as valid as mine.”
If my subjective morality says that slavery is wrong, I don’t care what yours says. If you try to keep slaves in the society I live in as well I want you kicked out and ostracized.
It’s semantics. The difference between an llm and “asking” wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will “answer” you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.
Government cheese had a shit ton of oil and less “cheese” im pretty sure. Delicious, and calorie dense for sure.
Some More News had the right take on this: all these companies just dumped (either in investment or development) (hundreds of) billions of dollars into AI development.
The problem is, we’re still 10-15 years away from AI being actually useful in gadgets and stuff. But these companies want to get paid now, so they’re shoving the cheapest, shittiest “functional” AI onto the market just to try and recoup some losses. And it’s painfully apparent it isn’t working.
Crying is good for you. Lighthearted encouragement and camaraderie is also good for you.
Should have said “yous guyses”
Not only that but I haven’t seen a single actionable demand by the advertisements for this campaign. It’s a hollow, confused threat that simply doesn’t make sense.
Ironically I haven’t spent money anywhere today but that’s just because I spend most of my life trying not to pay giant chain retailers.
If someone wanted this campaign to work they would have united the whole thing under a banner or a brand, declared that this was not the first protest they would be staging, say something like: “this is only a threat, if companies don’t do X in 3 months we will organize a week-long blackout. Then if they don’t do anything after that week-long blackout we’ll do another one for two weeks or a month.”
That makes sense. That’s negotiation and it’s how you demonstrate the power the people hold.
The X should be something policy-based and actionable. It can be a huge sweeping demand but it has to be actionable. It should not be a laundry list of long term demands. Then, when you get that first demand met you can delay action and keep pushing later since you’ve proven the tactics work.
Compare that to what this protest is doing. It’s pretty far-cry.
Part of the issue I have is that what you’re saying is technically correct (the best kind). But I think it’s only right for a very small amount of people. It feels good to say that you just want to recognize that there are people who can’t do it, but saying that in this type of discussion gives that demographic the feeling of equivalent weight when they’re a very small portion comparatively and gives the false impression that there are enough people who straight up can’t do it that anyone reading that can just assume they fall into that category and never try. Most people can change or turn their life around, there’s just a culture of patting each other on the back and saying “not everyone can do it”.
I think part of that also comes from something else you said: “I just want to recognize that as trying so hard to get that perfect life turnaround is like winning the lottery”. The culture I mentioned comes from this binary attitude of deciding either you’re going to go all the way and get that perfect life or you’re just one of the unlucky ones who shouldn’t try. But turning your life around can happen in so many positive ways that don’t include getting a perfect life.
This is literally going to be an argument if people start proposing free daycare/child care :/
