if some company ends up creating AGI some day, i really hope that one isnt trained by reddit…

ah yes, more lebensraum. i hate this timeline

us is going to run out of people to trade with at this rate

Just because you are allowed to do something doesnt mean you should.

Its not about the PHYSICAL book. Go ask any muslim if there is ANY situation where they would find it acceptable to burn their holy book in such way that guy did. And if he did it to “make it obvious there is something fundamendally wrong” why didnt he then MAKE IT OBVIOUS WHAT IS WRONG? Lets say that was his goal, then he failed so spectacularly words fail me.

I truly dont know what else to say about this if you still dont see what I mean.

And its not nice trying to frame what I said as apoligism or blame shifting. But if you TRULY think so then maybe you should back your arguments with facts instead of throwing words and hoping they stick. I know I can make mistakes and how else can I learn from them than if other people correct me. But i’m pretty sure i’m not wrong about this, but its not good to be blinded by your own surety.

What other possible reason would someone have to burn a book that is to some more important than their life. Either people dont care about it or become enraged. And just because you have right to do something doesnt mean you should. His actions have caused a lot of harm, also most likely his own death too.

For argument’s sake, lets assume he had some positive reason for his actions. Has there been a single positive thing that has come from this? If you want to do good you need to think the consequences through and if you dont then you shouldnt do anything at all.

the man wanted to incite hatred, show him middlefinger by doing the opposite

there is nothing forcing you to keep using google though

i hope someone will make decent model that isnt controlled by china or america. But at least this one managed to deal decent hit to those greedy fuckers.

Well, its okay to make some money from others labour, as long as its fair. But way it currently works, that some business owner gets majority of the value of someones work is not okay. That is just benefitting from being on stronger position than someone else and ultimately isnt much different from taking from someone by force. Its not like you can refuse to participate as people need to have money to live.

yeah, i hope i’m just overthinking. Its just that linux is basically only true freedom we have what comes to operating systems. Maybe they just want to keep people who dont know that much about computers away from linux. Though that should be opposed just as well.

not religion. a disease of society

it shouldnt be allowed to go there because it might not be reversable by then. I wish I was just paranoid but way the world is going makes this very plausible.

By the time things like that become evident its like trying to stop a boulder that has been gaining momentum for a while, which is why I wish people were more active about doing something instead of waiting until there is clear evidence that something should be done. This kind of wasnt a direct reply to content of your comment, sorry

you should define the word rich better in this context. Personally I have started to think word “rich” as negative thing, someone who has more than they need at expense of others, but I dont think that is very common way to think.

I wonder if microsoft asked them to do this, either way this is something that shouldnt be ignored. Its basically direct attack and their endgoal might be to make regular people hate or fear linux. That in turn could be used to influence laws and try to ban or limit linux to corporate use only. Computers have become so integral part of society that by controlling the operating system you control the people.

had he actually cared, he should have demanded and funded research into them to either prove his point or fix the problem.

You can’t get that amount of money without exploitation. If you start from 0 it just means you have to actually work for it but end result is still the same.

time to hide words like these in code

ai cant understand anything, that is why they will lie wildly if they dont know something. It can’t know that it doesn’t know. It would likely require somekind of consciousness for it to actually understand something. Expecting anything more than what it currently does well is just stupid until it proves it can do more. Yet people keep being surprised, but that isnt anything new.

fascist also see compassion as weakness
