Let's be real here, nobody signing up for ice had any oth those things to begin with.

Look I'm not saying it isn't worse now. Everything is obviously worse now.

What I'm saying is that things were already bad before, and we need to look at the root cause because as bad as he is, mango mussolini is just another symptom of the rot that's been around since long before any of this.

Let's be real, they already were pay for play before, now they're just honest about it. Remind me, how many proven unsafe additives does the US allow into food that have been banned by evey other developed country for decades?

A lot of toothbrushes advertise themselves as "improved whitening" or similar things because the design of the bristles and the action (on electric brushes) actually does help them break up stains, and thus help whiten teeth, when used properly.

As for the antimicrobial claims, there are many materials that are human safe that are also naturally antimicrobial. For instance, brass self sanitizes in as little as 15 minutes, which is why it's the most common material for doorknobs.

So you're telling me that you have a table saw that can stand up, walk to the wood pile, grab a plank, measure to size, line it up, and push it over the blade if you say "I need a two foot 2x4"? Because that is the level of automaton that we're talking about with ai. The human makes a request, the bot does all the work.

But nevermind, I just looked into your comment history and you obviously don't have the mental faculties for an intelligent conversation on this subject. Have a nice life, I'm out.

Your obviously bad faith argument excludes the distinction between tool and automaton.

All the things you listed are tools. They are objects that assist humans with performing a process.

"Generative" ai is an automaton. A human gives it an instruction and it performs a process fully independent of human action.

Hiring someone to draw a picture and then signing your name on it doesn't make you an artist, and that's exactly what every ai """artist""" is doing.

that got into legal trouble, to put it mildly.

Extremely mildly.

He fucked it up so badly that part of the fallout included him being legally barred from sitting on the board of any charity ever again.

So we're not allowed to advocate for people to defend themselves from masked, unidentified kidnappers because that's a "cAlL fOr ViOlEnCe".

Pathetic.

I don't give half a could fuck what you think you are outside of this forum. Your slavish devotion to enforcing this rule emboldens and encourages the fascists who see it. You help fascists. You are a fascist that's all there is to that equation.

So you're a fascist, got it.

I managed four at the same time!

I picked dandelions. (with a weed whacker)

I dug holes. (by uprooting massive weeds)

I basked in the sun. (and got a low grade burn while picking dandelions and digging holes)

And I sang love songs. (it was actually Love Song by Korn, but I did sing it while picking dandelions, digging holes, and basking in the sun)
