I generally agree (especially with the current critique of using up water/power just for one image)

But I can't get behind "this tool will make people who don't use it feel bad". The same arguments were levied against Photoshop and now it's a tool in the arsenal. The same arguments were levied against the camera. And I could see the same argument against the printing press (save those poor monks doing calligraphy)

The goal of "everything shall be AI" is fucked and clearly wrong. That doesn't mean there isn't any use for it. People who wanna crank out slop will give up when there's no money in it and it doesn't grant them attention.

And I say this as someone who despises how every website has an AI chatbot popping up when I visit their site and every search engine is offloading actually visiting and reading pages to AI summaries

He has engaged in a coup (and has been convicted in the House and Colorado) and therefore is actually precisely unqualified per the Constitution

There wasn't anything against a coup member being on the ballot, which was what happened in Colorado, but regardless of number of (electoral) votes he should not be allowed to swear in

We'll see what ends up happening though

you said "ideal scenario is everything is decentralized"

would it be right to assume "more decentralization is better"?

if so, then which is more decentralized: a corporation or a government

yes, what you said was paradoxical, which is why i was saying "it's actually in favor of government"

I agree decentralized is better, but isn't that an argument in favor of a government having more control than a corporation?

I think losing life is generally better, as there are more damage prevention cards than ones that avoid life loss (most of which also stop damage)
