If I were, perhaps it's because I'm not seeing any of the real stuff here.

There are people still using VMWare?!?!? And their main issue is COST, rather than the fact that VMWare is like a thousand years old?

As Eric Raymond (ESR) says, AI is a force multiplier. My elaboration: If you are good at what you do, it will let you do accomplish more good stuff faster. If you are not very bright, AI will let you be not bright more efficiently, but it won't make you bright. It's just a tool. It needs to be utilized correctly. There is no shortage of things in this world that can do tremendous damage if not used properly. AI is nothing new in that regard.

"AI slop" is so 2024. That argument isn't valid any more.

I'm surprised you didn't use the word "slop". Spewing a bunch of slogans that would have to be more clever to make it on to bumper stickers makes you look like the people you are complaining about. There are legitimate criticisms to make about AI, and ways to support and defend those arguments. You are not doing that.

You don't know him and don't know he's a sociopath.

I mean the software is impressive and all, but since when is someone with a user ID in the 400,000s a long-time reader?

Absolutely. It was collected in The Cyberiad. I'll go to the trouble of looking it up.

Here we are: "The First Sally, or, the Trap of Gargantius."

Who decides what's true and what's false? Who gets to hold who "accountable", and what does that look like? How does that look any different than punishing someone for speech you don't like?

Some of y'all need more than a surface understanding of the 1st amendment, with a focus on how it came about in the first place.

"I forget what they call it"

And here we have the groundwork being laid for censorship, all in the name of the "greater good".

I hope everyone remembers; whatever tools you give "Your Side" will be used against you.

I think a lot of them are freaking out about how to keep their servants and security loyal in the bunkers. Your bunker seems like a great idea until your head of security starts cutting off your fingers and won't stop until you give him all the codes and combinations to the safe.

We've lost half the world's corals in 50 years.

That's actually a right-wing myth. The government never "ordered" them to do that. They did it out of greed.
