I hear ya’ I really don’t know about the history of Quakers, (to be honest I didn’t even noticed the headline was from their point of view,) i just found the headline kinda funny coming From an American news agency as someone who is not from the US.

… … … Oh, you mean for everyone that wasn’t repressed before!

From very young age i never felt i needed to believe in anything, spirituality felt like a part i was missing. my parents took me to church but i never liked the god depicted there and i found the crucified man figurine scary. When they told me that god loves me and that if i didn’t love him back i would go to hell it all soured for me. That portrayal of love didn’t make sense in my mind.

I don’t feel atheist either, religion feels very political to me, and atheism seems more apolitical than an active oposition. Where i live catholicism has a lot of power and it’s tentacles wrap around government agencies and institutions. There are weird cults close to where i live that are offshoots of catholicism ; These cults have international power and they have deep histories of corruption and abuse. I feel something has to be done about this but where i live there is very little oposition or regulation for religious institutions.

then this whole conversation is a little meaningless.

You can also acknowledge that both need their own space; If AI used for other nefarious purposes is so important to you your time is better spent making threads about that than implying threads about other issues are less serious.

Nah dude this sounds to me lile a “duvide and conquer” strategy, make us believe that the grievances of one group contend with the grievances of another, quite the scab move.

yeah yeah you ai bros keep crying about how useless artists are but you keep gobbling up datasets full of them! Hypocrites everyone of you! You need them! You crave them to spit more and more useless derivative trash.

It is all part of the same topic, Talking about one aspect does not negate the other. Instead of dividing the issues it is nice to know a lot of us have a common foe.

It is really sad that the most advanced model can only aspire to make derivative shit for techbro loosers,

At this point they are making it clear they are nothing more than thugs and hucksters; and that they have the right to stole everything on the internet to push their lip products. Fuck open ai an all of their cronies.

Keep it up!

Ai is a waste of time for me; I don’t want it on my phone , I don’t want it on my computer and I block it every time I have the chance. But I might be old fashioned in that I don’t like algorithms recommending anything to me either. I never cared what the all seeing machine has to say.
