It hinges on whether Canadians will continue to tolerate Americans in general or not.

Signs point to “no”, if prevailing trends are anything to go by.

Why don’t you stay in your homeland and fix the problem you had a hand in creating instead of exporting it?

The fact you’re using “fee fees” unironically says enough about you that I’m pretty sure that Canadians don’t want you. We have enough assholes, thank you very much.

Oh, God. Freeze Peach has reached the UK.

I hate you so much right now.

Ouch! That hurts!

I know. That’s why I was so touched!

It’s a bit lame tbh

Why thank you! 😀

Maybe you want to edit this so there’s a direct link? Like putting in !unlockthread@lemm.ee in the text somewhere (or whatever the link format is)?

It just lacks machines that think. Which we do too, but the things they’re trying to push as thinking are already causing extreme damage to our culture …

… time for the Butlerian Jihad before things get so bad you need an existential war to fix them.

I highlighted the parts you missed. You might want to clean your screen so you can see all the words before responding.

Now compare Lemmy, a phone, or the Internet to “a machine in the likeness of a human mind”.

Dune is full of machines. It just lacks machines that think. Which we do too, but the things they’re trying to push as thinking are already causing extreme damage to our culture, so … time for the Butlerian Jihad before things get so bad you need an existential war to fix them.

This is the danger of a “quick look”. It makes you look ridiculous when you talk about it later.

Have you heard of the Butlerian Jihad?

My vision isn’t quite as extreme.

Quite.

Do you think we should still harvest fields by hands instead of using tractors?

That is absolutely not the issue and you know it. How do I know you know it? Because you’re not a moron, which leaves only “disingenuous”.

Your “harvest field by hands” thing isn’t even remotely close to the issue. AI isn’t a tractor making tilling, seeding, harvesting, etc. etc. etc. easier. AI is stealing, say, the wheat from other people’s farms and putting it into your silo and making bread with it.

Yes. Open source. So you give a few hundred lines of material so that people can steal millions to billions of lines of it.

A perfect exchange that is.

I’ve been tempted to go there a few times, but then I realized the only question I’d have is “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH ALL Y’ALL!?” and decided that would be unproductive.

I think people just hate ai.

And yet you don’t take the further step of asking why people “just hate ai”.

Building a project around the mass theft of culture is a problem to me. Hence the downvote.

This right here is most especially tedious to me: all the “politics” discussion really meaning “American political obsessions”. There’s only 350 million or so Americans and yet they act as if their politics are all that matters to the remaining 7.7 billion or so of us.

The links left me more confused, not less.

Huh. TIL that Proudhon was a Marxist.
