Trump: makes incorrect claim

Moderator: Actually there is no evidence that happened

Trump: well I saw it on TV! Someone said it on TV! Someone wouldn't just go and say something on TV if it wasn't true!

Shouldn't the president of the country have a bit of higher standard of evidence than "I saw someone say it on TV"?

Interacting with another human being as it they were a human being instead of a servant bringing you food is creepy?

I know you're supposed to confirm things for yourself but I'm very sensitive to audio and sounds have a tendency to stick in my brain. I'll take your word on that so that I don't have to stick my head in a blender later tonight.

I'm lawful neutral until the clip breaks, which it always does, and then I go chaotic neutral.

But then the next person who prints something will print over it and have your file in their file!

Wait, what happened here? Is this picture supposed to be offensive somehow? Is there a place you can see deleted lemmy comments like you can see deleted reddit comments?

The corporations can fuck right off because they steal more from creators than pirates ever could. But directly supporting independent creators you like is a good thing that should be lauded. Someone dying penniless in the street because they chose to make things that enhanced people's lives instead of going into a soul sucking banking career or some shit is a travesty if you ask me.

That's father than I would take it personally

You don't call a lion immoral because lions can't comprehend morality. That doesn't mean that humans can do the same actions without being judged morally. Lions can also kill other lions which would be more comparable to murder than your hunting example and still they wouldn't be held morally responsible and yet humans would if they killed another human. A lot of animals rape too, doesn't mean it's moral for humans to do.

The difference is that we CAN understand morality which is why we are held to moral standards and animals aren't. This is like, pretty basic stuff and shouldn't be at all confusing. Maybe read a book or two before having loud opinions?

I look forward to lunch every day. I make myself a wrap with some sort of oven cooked filling and a bunch of fresh veggies and some apple slices and a small bag of wasabi peas for dessert.

Well I'm definitely not pushing for more AI and I like to try to stay nuanced on the topic. Like I mentioned in my first comment I have found it to be a very helpful tool but if used in other ways it could do more harm than good. I'm not involved in making or pushing AI but as long as it is an available tool I'm going to make use of it in the most responsible way I can and talk about how I use it knowing that I can't control what other people do but maybe I could help some people who are only using it to get answer hints like in the article to find more useful ways of using it.

When it comes to regulation, yeah I'm all for that. It's a sad reality that regulation always lags behind and generally doesn't get implemented until there's some sort of problem that scares the people in power who are mostly too old to understand what's happening anyways.

And as to what's the rush, I would say a combination of curiosity and good intentions mixed with the worst of capitalism, the carrot of financial gain for success and the stick of financial ruin for failure and I don't have a clue what percent of the pie each part makes up. I'm not saying it's a good situation but it's the way things go and I don't think anyone alive could stop it. Once something is out of the bag, there ain't any putting it back.

Basically I'm with you that it will be used for things that make life worse for people and that sucks, and it would be great if that was not the case but that doesn't change the fact that I can't do anything about that and meanwhile it can still be a useful tool and so I'm going to use it the best that I can regardless how others use it because there's really nothing I can do except keep pushing forward the best I can, just like anyone else.
