I have to have hope that there are some out there, and maybe even many, feel this way solely because they’ve been isolated with that group and are stockholmed.
I refuse to give up hope that anyone can at any point turn back. You can always turn back.
If you’re interested, and I think you may be, look into the solution to tolerance of the intolerant, cleared a lot of misgivings I had about the concept
Right, so conservatives don’t have goodwill which means they’ll twist anything regardless, self defeating argument
See point 1.
Wasn’t putting you in any box, just pointing out that generalization is bad, and that you were participating in that behavior. People will think what they want and not being informed enough of what the social implications of words mean is exactly why both sides are at odds. Get it or don’t get it.
Let’s not throw stones at each other yeah? Wouldn’t that be the proper way to conduct yourself? Or are you no better than Americans in thinking haha my group is the best fuck you…
Not mad, but I can see how you could see that from my choice language that day.
I just think that we have to call and even ask for this stuff is only enabling the problem. For me, when Netflix and all these other guys price hike, drop content, don’t give advertised streaming qualities and all of that, I dropped all of them. Now I pirate stuff again, I send YouTubers donations and use 3rd party apps to get around ads, etc.
Consumers are brainwashed into thinking they have to do all this hoop jumping just to get a fair shake and it’s just not the case. Ultimately either scenario is fine, I was being a bit dramatic about the whole thing frankly. These people have options to work at other places in theory, and call center work or anything really that’s high touch with disgruntled people or other abusive circumstances should be done away with entirely. I find it frankly pretty gross that we subject ourselves to abuse just to be able to afford to eat and live anywhere half comfortable.
Thanks for keeping things civil with me, I appreciate it.
… you mean like how most investments operate in the US? No news here, just another example of how the FTC and FCC are a joke and another example of how the govt fails to properly protect its people from bullshit, fraud, and control by corps.
For the record, AI research and capabilities aren’t locked to premium services or businesses.
It’s a mathematical concept that often are publically published. Don’t forget this sector belongs to techies and enthusiasts just as it is to career “researchers”
So long as the govt doesn’t touch concept, we can make and make and make to our hearts content. Training data is also collectible and source-able by anyone.
Last, I’m not against collaboration with a potential enemy so long as it benefits both parties equally and doesn’t exacerbate any existing problems or imbalances in power
No problem, from what I understand of your comment, you were saying that something as innocuous as a number can’t be taken seriously as a dog whistle.
I was countering this by asking you to apply that same logic to other groups which might use a dog whistle of sort (which the hole point of a dog whistle is that most people don’t pick up on it and it’s only for the intended preverbal ‘dogs’) and see if you still felt the same way.
Was just meant to provoke thinking about other stuff you might not have considered or overlooked is all
You’ve totally missed my point. But yeah sure here’s a cookie 🍪
