  • Electric motors and encyclopedias are irreplaceable in weapons. All electronics are used in weapons.

    Farming, fishing, and electricity inherently degrade our planet far more than AI. They should all be used sustainably, wisely, and with an eye to ecosystem health and future generations. You’ll get absolutely no argument from me there. Banning any of them or limiting their access to only the governments and corporations who are doing almost all the damage, is insanity.

    When it comes to IP theft, that is a huge, non-ai problem. Again, corporations are responsible for almost all of the damage and we reap none of the benefits, even before AI was ever introduced. The problem is with how we allow corporations to copyright and restrict things for generations.

    The solution is that AI, the technology that required all of humanity to contribute knowledge for it to exist, should be free for all to use. Why would IP theft be a reason to limit AI ownership to only corporations and governments? That’s completely backwards.









  • It’s not sexist to think it looks like a car for people who want a cute, little compact car that lets everyone know they have scratch. That’s just what it looks like.

    “Missy mcmansion” could easily be a young man who wants those things in a car. He will likely embrace the term because he doesn’t think women and their associated descriptors are inherently “less than”. This looks looks like a car for a cute purse, a blowout, and a manicure.

    I didn’t use “missy” to denigrate. I used it as marker for lifestyle choices regardless of sex or gender. You certainly picked up on my dripping distaste, but it’s because I think the car looks silly, just like the SUV, and neither fit my lifestyle choices. When I think the big matcho SUV is dumb, am I being sexist?

    If it makes you feel any better, I always loved the Miata, because it looks like she’s got skin under her nails, cute but not to be played with lightly, and that fits my aesthetic just fine.

    Edit: lol, you’re mad because I said “bottom energy” and you thought “woman energy” and had to put your misogynistic thoughts on me to make yourself feel better after I explained it 😝
