Calling yourself a hater is nice, you can then straw man the other side all you want. Hilarious take, but wouldn’t stand up to a real inspection.

Nothing before it is worshipped and hated at this proportion
You weren't around when cell phones were only used by rich jerks?
I was. My parents had first versions of analog cell phones and they were truly live savers no one ever complained about how they will destroy society.

From the start, people complained about how cell-phone users felt entitled to talk on them in public libraries, movie theaters and on public transportation.

#385I appreciate seeing this point of view represented. It's not one I personally hold, but it is one a LOT of my friends hold, and I think it's important that it be given a voice, even if -- perhaps especially if -- a lot of people disagree with it. One of my friends sent me a delightful bastardization of the famous IBM quote: A COMPUTER CAN NEVER FEEL SPITEFUL OR [PASSIONATE†]. THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER CREATE AR…
>† replaced with a slightly less salacious word than the original in consideration for politeness.
1. You're on the internet. Nobody will get mad if you say "horny".
2. Bastardizing a quote is a worse outcome than you missing an opportunity to virtue signal your puritan values. Just say the original quote.

#387Cynicism is the new virtue to signal for the tech elite class. New technology is the ideal way for those people to signal their cynicism. > Critics have already written thoroughly about the environmental harms, the reinforcement of bias and generation of racist output, the cognitive harms and AI supported suicides, the problems with consent and copyright, the way AI tech companies further the patterns of empire, how…
Do you also rail against the "word salad" coming out of the AI marketing blogs that are also posted to this site?
Examples? I do think some of them are pure hype but overall AI is here to stay. People like using it and get value from it.

Haven't these arguments been the same since Stable Diffusion came out? Someone (A) will say what you said, then someone else (B) will say, well humans remix as well, A: no that's different because we're humans not machines, B: there is no need to prefer a biological substrate over a silicon one; A: AI will produce the same result over and over, B: not if you change the temperature and randomize the seed. It's tiresom…
Ironically, for the first time, I think I found some perspective to the remix argument here. Normally it's just like you say: I don't find the remixing argument persuasive, because I consider it to be a point of commonality. This time however, my focus shifted a bit. I considered the difference in "source set". To be more specific, it kind of dawned on me how peculiar it is to engage in creating art as a human given…
Flight has immediate utility, art not necessarily, other than to be or to experience. Movies can be art, instruction videos usually are not.
