    My dude. I don’t think you’re fully aware of the scope here.

    To give context, decades ago, people were saying the same shit about Photoshop.

    Before that, it was digital printing in general. Decades before that, photography. Same for other media. Special effects in TV and Movies. Hell, motion pictures. Go even further back, you’ve got the Luddites. If you’re not familiar with those poor bastards, give the subject a read.

    There’s no real fight against this tide you see coming. This “AI infection.” Technology progresses regardless. Like every complexity in life, there are good and bad effects, and whether we like it is irrelevant in the grander scheme. The Luddites got absolutely fucked, and the industrial revolution kept churning.

    But let’s table that discussion of “if I can do something”, and get to “why”.

    a lot of people Do NOT like the AI bullshit

    That’s fair. I am often one of them. But why should I value these opinions more than those of others? We already have a system for people to express those opinions. It’s the voting system. And unless something violates our very, very tiny ruleset, I have no reason to intervene. If enough people want to change that rule set, then we’ll discuss it and make the changes.

    But until then, let’s let people post their shit. Some might like it.


  • You raise fair points, but I want to circle back to intent. Because what you’re advocating in your last sentence is hurt by your original comment.

    The whole point of “it’s happened once before” is to show that something is actually possible. It’s not theoretically possible, there’s a real world example to show it.

    Bringing up counterexamples does not change that.

    You can show one counterexample. Ten. A hundred. A thousand examples of when something didn’t work. They don’t negate the one time it did.

    And to go even further, you should frame all those counterexamples as simply learning lessons. Examples on how not to do it. Because the framing here matters. If you want someone to be smart and try to find a solution, you frame history that way.

    If you’re trying to discourage others from trying, you do it the way you initially did.








  • I’m sorry, are you gatekeeping shitposting? Do you really understand how much dumber shit gets posted in these things? For weeks, we had the stupidest fucking posts about beans. Fuckin beans.

    And everyone ate that shit up.

    So yeah I’m not touching the slop bullshit, regardless of how it was made, since it’s not actually breaking any rules. You don’t have to like the post. I don’t have to like the post. But others do.

    And if this bothers you, unsubscribe. Otherwise, be respectful.
