  Prostitutes are human beings and deserve respect. Don’t compare them to AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So I think we agree?

  This is what I subscribe to lemmy for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Would really love to see IP law get taken down a notch out of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The law applies to everybody, but the law-makers change the laws to benefit certain people. And then trump pardons the rest lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay, well, to be clear, my position is: let’s do medical advancement and let’s replace current IP law. Whether or not billionaires get a profit doesn’t enter my calculus. I care only about improving the life of the lower class; redistributing the wealth of billionaires would definitely be good for that goal, but if there is something that benefits both the lower class and billionaires I will not reject it on the principle of not helping billionaires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t say that at all. I never said those were mutually exclusive. You are the one who came along and asserted that medical advancements could only be made under current IP law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really agree that “everyone knows this” when everyone I know talks about environmentalism almost exclusively in terms of individual impact.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We let environmentalism become an individual issue, and that was a mistake. Can we not do this for AI? It’s a society-wide problem, not something you can solve by measuring your own personal AI footprint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are you dissing on vegans? Veganism is legit, bro.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We should already change our laws on ownership. I’m not sure how it’s possible that I’m saying “we should improve healthcare and also change IP laws” and you’re hearing me say “IP laws are good the way they are.” The U.S. is past the threshold already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, the current situation in the U.S. is pretty bad. But I’m happier that at least some people are able to get, say, insulin for their diabetes, than that nobody can. I would of course greatly prefer free or at least cheap access to insulin for all, but I would not press a magic button to remove insulin entirely in order to screw over big pharma. I know someone with diabetes – how could I say their life is not worth the cost to society that comes capitalists exploiting a monopoly on insulin?

  Similarly, in the future, I hope to be able to say that in expectation somebody I know would have had down syndrome had it not been prevented by (the non-evil kind of) eugenics programs such as polygenics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I do agree we should completely rework IP law in general. But I wouldn’t want to delay progress in genetic engineering until we can restructure society. It’s important to improve the human condition, even if society isn’t able to allow equitable access to every technology yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really get how you’re getting all that from polygenic selection – the current state of the art in legal eugenics. Polygenic selection is just like, choosing the best of n embryos; any one of these babies you could have conceived naturally, it just boosts the odds a little. Anyway, it doesn’t affect oneself, only one’s children, so nobody actually gets a choice, and nobody’s identity can be given up. What you’re saying doesn’t even make a lick of sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  advanced genetic engineering would be cool but that’s not polygenic selection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe you can’t. Try harder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  speak for yourself

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  your username checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah those are all permitted. It’s very inconsistent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, I see. Still, I’d remove it from the list; it doesn’t really strike me as the same kind of thing at all. Kinda ridiculous to put it on the same level as like, actual slurs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  are you this skeptical every time a new treatment for something comes out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  not sure how to test this without just publicly posting a big list of slurs lol. Anyway, it’s just odd to me since I don’t consider bitсһ a slur. It’s on the exact same level of rudeness as bastard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  you forgot to italicize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I agree it should definitely be accessible to everyone. Just like any other kind of healthcare is already in my country. As for the cost, one could redirect funds from healthcare toward it. It should save money on healthcare in the long-run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Never really thought of it as a slur. Like a general-purpose slur against women? I don’t really agree, it’s in common parlance, at least in my area. I’ve never found it offensive, personally. Generally when people I know use it, it’s meant in a positive, I guess you could say “reclaimed” fashion. Plus, there are much worse slurs that are not censored.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m canadian. I have heard that san fran is Canada’s 4th biggest city by population or something like that, but no, I don’t live there.

  Something I wonder is why people treat gattaca like it’s exactly and completely prescient, but at the same time have no worry at all about AI x-risks because “terminator was science fiction, so there’s nothing to worry about.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant on my instance in general, not in the image. On lemmy.ml for some reason, if you type “bitсһ” then it gets automatically-replaced with the text “removed.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iron⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Gattaca is one of my favourite movies. Is there another thing you’re talking about?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So glad I suck dick⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can we please either un-censor the word “bitсһ” or else add other similar minorly-offensive swear words like fuck, shit, bastard, etc. to the censor list? I don’t mind so much the censorship, it’s just the inconsistency that bothers me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The news can’t easily report on users actually returning to piracy; who would admit to it? And how would you get data on it? Much easier to truthfully report on users who talk about returning to piracy.
