To this point the only advice I’ve seen to come from the anti-ai crowd is “dont use it. Its bad!” And that is simply not practical.

I'd argue it's not practical to use it.

Your argument is invalid, the capitalists are making money. It will continue for as long as there is money to be made. Your agreement and my agreement is unnecessary.

How do we fix the problem that makes AI something that we have to deal with.

Sabotage, public outrage, I dunno.

If you're arguing that people shouldn't be upset because there's no escaping it, this is an argument in favor of capitalism. Capitalism can't be escaped either.

I appreciate you taking my question a face value, you're the only one who did. Your capitalism quote worked perfectly. I was trying to use guns as my exams of shit I can't get away from.

I guess. I'm still anti-capitalism, though, but in the plant a fig tree for your grandchildren kind of sense.

Right, like how to end capitalism? I got very little, but I'm planting gardens, and not complaining that capitalism exists on /C/fuckcapitalism.

Lemmy is like the place to complain about capitalism. There are more of these fuckers here than anywhere else.

And, there is, if nothing else, value in taking public sentiment away from people who actually do really, really like capitalism. The deregulation types who would cream their pants if the FDA/USDA were barred from inspecting your food to make sure it won't poison you before you buy it.

... the capitalists are making money. It will continue for as long as there is money to be made.

Nah these companies don't even make money on the whole, they burn money. So your argument is invalid, and may God have mercy on your soul! 🙏
