Stop giving everything you have to these psychopath owners. You are empowering their ability to harm us further.
What's the harm being done?
Not even gonna bother with this comment. It's everywhere and obvious.
I mean you'll say it out loud but you won't articulate it? Sounds like you're just parroting what you've heard and don't actually know anything about the subject. That's fair.
That's just ego bait you use to get into fights on the internet.
I mean the fact that you feel baited says a lot. All I did was ask a question. Damn you guys are feisty here.
"I'm just asking questions!"
Did I not ask a question? I believe I asked what harm was being done. So, yes, I just asked a question.
Deskilling, high water usage that often disrupts drought-prone areas, power usage, slop on the internet, designed to be as addictive as possible, etc..
Why in the hell would you build an operation that requires biblical levels of water in a drought prone area? It seems the harm being done is more incompetence than actual malice.
Call me tinfoil hats, but likely it was done to chip regulations away. The techbros behind AI think any regulation is unneeded, because people are all rational actors, and bad stuff will be just boycotted, except they want to make boycotts illegal (today I'm also getting called "picky" for not liking Windows, etc.).
makes people lazy and dumb. critical thinking and memory declines at a staggering rate when you use slop generators instead of doing your own thinking.
those who oppose that burn out fast when forced to use it
