I was taught that the founding fathers’ did not take into account a two-party political system when they designed the system of checks and balances.

No, I’d definitely agree that AI sentiment overall is pretty negative. I am not such a hardliner, but they are definitely out there.
IMO the problem is not LLMs itself, which are very compelling and interesting for strictly language processing and enable programs and usecases that were almost impossible to implement programmatically before; the problem is how LLMs are being used incorrectly for usecases that they are not suited for, due to the massive investment and hype in them. “We spent all this money on this so now we have to use it for everything”. It’s wrong. LLMs are not knowledge stores, they are provably bad at summarization and as a search interface, and they should especially not be used for decision making in any context. And people are reacting to the way LLMs are being forced into all of these roles.
People also take strong issue with their perceived violation of intellectual property and training on copyrighted information, viewing AI generated arts as derivative and theft.

I dunno, I don’t play these games. The most demanding game I play on steam deck is Oblivion Remastered which runs fine with upscaling/framegen and lowish settings. The nostalgia factor makes low settings totally fine for this game, too, so its not a big deal. Anything game where I want great graphics and performance, I’ll just play on my desktop.
For $900 you could literally just build a decent desktop, but you do you

I’d argue this is not really the case, and their strategy has shifted to increasing the price of actually “owning” games to be a premium experience, ie all their new games are now $80, making subscription prices seem more attractive

Thanks, I literally just looked this up and saw that is supposedly the case. That’s very surprising to me. At least it has that

I have the original and passed on upgrading to the OLED. It really hasn’t shown much age at all, yet. I’m not really playing AAA or demanding titles on it, anyway, and it works perfectly for all of the games I do want to play on it. I figure the limiting factor will be the battery, and that seems to be just as good as it was new.

The number of people that I know who were vegans, went to an agriculture school studying to become veterinarians, and gave up veganism immediately as soon as they got real experience in the meat/whool/dairy industry and saw the reality of it rather than propaganda…

No, but inventing fake dilemmas in order to pretend you are morally superior than others is quite childish.

Seems to me that you’re the one disrespecting rape victims here by denying how other species can experience the same.
I’ve never claimed that animals cannot be raped. Artificial insemination is not rape, though.
- Comment on New idea 3 weeks ago:
The mistake is thinking that this is about creating a successful movement and real change, when veganism is actually often a tool to allow one to believe are falsely morally superior to others.
The more people that participate and agree with them, the less effective it is at making them feel better than others, so it actually requires excluding and belittling people rather than convincing them.

You’re no different to me than the fascists in power the world over that seek to dominate minority groups.
Yep, gotta make everything black and white in order to process the world. Very healthy “if you eat dairy you’re a fascist” 😂 your childish naivety is showing.
- Comment on New idea 3 weeks ago:
Artificial insemination is rape.
Factually incorrect
Your idea of nuance quite conveniently means that the moral caution you afford to humans isn’t afforded to animals
Yes, absolutely, things are different in different situations and contexts. That’s literally how nuance works. Absolutism and reducing morality down to black-and-white is incorrect.
If ever in the future you call yourself empathetic, know that you absolutely aren’t.
🙄 yeah, using actual rape victims’ suffering to push your personal agenda makes you super empathetic and the good guy… oh brother
- Comment on New idea 3 weeks ago:
So… I guess you’re done trying to argue your position after running into multiple fantasies, we’ve moved past the threats and name calling (sorta lol), and we’re onto the signaling-false-moral-superiority stage. Cool
