Because no one will feed him.

Because it's not about rehabilitation, it's about punishment. And the people who get off on that...

Simple minds prefer simple solutions.

Agreed. I think of MS Marketing as a parasite, like one of those zombie snails.

Indeed. Said this 'AI' hype was flash in the pan years ago, just another scam.

Letting them off cheap, like always...

Actually, I, for one, think we should give it to them. If ChatGPT and Bard are anything to go by, it'll ruin their economy, delegating them to a tiny regional power before they realize their mistake.

I mean, that's what's happening to us in the US. Mass firings, CxOs drinking the kool-aid, etc.

This post is just to inform the /. community that I now mentally replace the word "ads" with the phrase "demon farts."

That is all.

Agreed. The sad fact is, for the time being, humans must kill / maim other lifeforms in order to live. Any contrary argument is simply an argument for a death sentence (for humanity).

"But...but...plants don't have central nervous systems...or nerve cells...so it's cool when we hack off their limbs / eat their children / etc." -> There was an article, a few years back, here on /., about how plants do, in fact, feel pain. They react by (I believe) emitting an ultrasonic noise, when deprived of water for too long (or something to that effect; it's been a while since I read it, and I'm in a rush this morning. Someone else can find it for you, and post a link). It's still a form of pain, even if your animal-centric viewpoint doesn't allow you to acknowledge this. I see PETA, vegans (for non-medical reasons), and their friends as cherry-pickers of fact, hypocrites of the worst kind.

You're causing harm to another life-form in order to promote your own existence. Acknowledge it, accept it, and move on, until better alternatives are created.

"But what about eating fruit? Some plants rely on their children being eaten, and passing through the gut, and..." -> Pipe down, predator. The plants reliance on others is just an evolved form of slavery, and of those seeds which pass through the gut, not all of them make it out the other end, making you a murderer.

And in so far as you are damned if you, damned if you don't, when it comes to meal choices for humanity...I'll confess I prefer to choose whatever foods I find most tasty. Which means that cow is totally going to get it...tenderloin, served with blue cheese, some fritters, and steamed broccoli.

Finally, I can only imagine what a plant-like alien species might do if they came across humanity. "Doesn't have cell walls, isn't a higher life-form, must be food (or the Enemy), right?"

Fight me.

Quiet you. Your common sense has no place in Marketing land. *sticks fingers in ears* La la la, I can't hear you!

Can it be hacked?

Agreed. Marketing for these companies is sure pushing hard.

I'm kind of partial to Cinnamon.

Lol, sure. *pinky swears*
