This is one of the most infuriating arguments AI proponents make. It is absolutely ridiculous on its face if you think about it for more than a second.

Yesterday someone quoted Elon at me, which go fuck yourself but I digress, saying “we’ll have universal basic abundance”. Who? Not me and you, that’s for fucking sure because we literally have enough RIGHT NOW. So where is it? Rhetorical question of course because the same dickhead making these absurd claims about a tech utopia is also actively fighting against systems that would make it harder for people like him to hoard so much wealth.

Goddamn it.

They can do both, you know. They love nothing more than cringe content and “righteous” violence.

Or someone trying to eek out a living with their music can get paid to do so. There’s no shortage of music to suit people’s tastes, the problem is discovering it because Spotify sucks at recommendations, and actively promotes AI slop to pad their profit margins while stiffing real musicians. So many mixes use AI instead of recommending actual artists specifically so they don’t have to pay royalties.

There might be a market for talentless trash music generators, but it actively harms real people creating real music with their real talent, and I refuse to participate. Fuck AI music. Just because there’s a market for something, doesn’t automatically mean it’s good, or the right thing to do.

Fuck Oracle. They charge absolutely insane prices for their licenses and you may as well just send them a blank check because no matter what, they’re getting their slice of the pie. Larry Ellison is a disgusting MAGA cuck too. I hope he burns in hell.

100% this. I’ve been on Linux for 27 years now (ffs I’m getting old), and until proton, I just wrote off gaming as a hit or miss experience, usually not worth the trouble. Now I’ll buy Windows only games without even checking compatibility in most cases. Unless it’s a full price AAA game, I’ll risk the off chance that it doesn’t work.

Good. Fuckem. They make shitty, oversized trucks that are a danger to pedestrians and people who drive reasonably sized cars anyway.

To be honest, following instructions from scammers couldn’t be much worse than doing what the real Marco Rubio says.

Because many people cannot distinguish between word salads and insight.

What app is this? Never seen it before. Whoever created it must be a real dumbass though.

I don’t know that the right listens to their base so much as they have identified ideas they can exploit. They rally around political hot button topics that drive turn out and engagement.

As far as the democrats go, I can’t really argue with you there.

We need to dismantle the underlying system that allows a two party, money driven electoral system to exist. How you do that when it requires the cooperation of both parties is a question I don’t have the answer to.

You should try that next time someone starts spouting “stop the steal” conspiracies. Marvel as their brain does a hard reboot.

To be fair, the 2020 election was won by a left wing conspiracy to oust Donald Trump. In fact, it was the biggest left wing conspiracy in history. Over 81 million Americans conspired to vote that fat cunt out of office.

Yeah, same here. Th API changes had 0 effect on me, but corporate money grabs that involve restricted access and screwing the community is a big no no for me.
