I worry a little bit that people who refuse to learn about ai as a part of their anti ai position are going to be extremely unprepared to understand what’s actually scary about it and already have their digital literacy at risk tbh

not that I am some genius in this regard but if you follow ai developments even slightly you might change the things you are most worried about. do people know the extent to which ai is already eating itself and how meaningless this is making swaths of the internet. do people know that there are plenty of random mid-sized companies today buying their employees’ likenesses to create digital clones and using these to make hundreds of videos. I am so much more worried about labor and surveillance and abuse than people becoming lazy about writing emails. and idk man I sort of like and respect people who are willfully ignorant about it as a way of minimizing its force in their lives and I am in some ways jealous but also when I see posts that basically still boil down to “chatgpt will never fool me” I am like 😭😭😭 for one thing not the only thing to be concerned about, for another thing I am really sorry but I don’t think you’re right

let's all have fun because it's better than not having fun

I would love to see a fantasy novel where the lore that the reader / protagonist learns at first is not true

e.g. they're told that this kind of creature has some kind of psychic or pheromone-based "mate bond" that cannot be broken; but it turns out that's a popular myth that has never been scientifically substantiated, and is basically used to keep people in bad relationships (basically the equivalent of "human women are biologically submissive")

my fave used to be the ship of theseus but lately its just not the same

Personally, I think it’s a form of child abuse to get your child a pet and then neglect that animal to death. It’s definitely a form of animal abuse but it is also a horrible thing to do to a kid. This is an especially common phenomenon with ‘indoor-outdoor’ cats. Some guy buys his 10 year old daughter a kitten so she’ll actually want to see him on the weekend and then refuses to get it neutered, microchipped or vaccinated and lets it roam free, refusing to take it to the vet when it is inevitably badly wounded by another animal or hit by a car. I’m from a rural farming area where pet husbandry isn’t great and there are an abundance of puppies and kittens every year and I’ve heard horror stories from people who’s parents let them get a puppy and then refused to take the dog to a veterinarian when it had serious medical event, just let their crying, sobbing, traumatized 14 year old watch their beloved dog waste away of an intestinal blockage with no way to get them care since they weren’t the legal owner, couldn’t drive and couldn’t afford treatment. Money isn’t even the primary issue for this particular type of evil fucking parent, if they cared about the animal or their kid’s wellbeing, they’d explain that they had to surrender the animal so it could get treatment or they’d take it to be euthanized so it didn’t suffer. Nope. Watch your beloved dog die for days.
