Lemmy tends to stigmatize usage if AI because of environmental impact.

I think using AI casually to shorten search for information (always double check it) or to create an image to be amused of or to use as reference to create my own art is perfectly acceptable.

Shit, each day I'm playing videogames, which burns much more electricity than a request to AI which translates to calculation of a function on several matrices. This is nowhere near calculating thousands of textured polygons 144 times a second.

I won't pay for AI tho if it becomes payed or subscription-only. Fuck it.

Also I'm a programmer and I've never used AI to write code for me, and I think it's terrible idea because it will make me too relaxed and dumb, leeching all the skill from me. Also it is useless for anything relatively complex as it will create more problems (bugs) than it solves, and it will be unable to fix them. Treat this as a side note and not an addition to my unpopular opinion about AI, because this part I think is popular.

The debate over pineapple on pizza is old hat. It's played out. Boring, one might even say, though for the record I'm firmly on the pro side.

What's not played out is strawberries on pizza.

some violence needs to be fought with violence, actually

unpopular opinion: AI can be extremely useful for programming and productivity if you use it in moderation

all money should be physical

currently only 1 of every 10 USD is physical and the rest are digital. I don't know how that works so I don't like it.

(hey you asked for unpopular opinions not good ones 😆)

Mathematics is something anyone can enjoy.

Downvotes take me, I'm ready.

Politicians should not have security, if they are going to have security near them it should only be for the safety of the local environment and for non elected officials. My biggest problem with Jan 6th is that they were a bunch of filthy fascists and not that they wanted to lynch Congress, frankly speaking it'd be funny and politicians are easily replaceable even the ones I vaguely like.

Human life is cheap and in the case of politicians all but forfeited apon their oaths.

Charlie Kirk admitting that gun violence is a cost of mass gun ownership is the most honest thing that guy ever said. A factual assessment that every 2A supporter should recognize.
