I just hate how much people are willing ignore so their side can win.
Sad that your side lacks representation? Or is it a lack of conviction with your own opinions?
Nobody wins a discussion because it’s not a competition, and your words aren’t going convince anyone who doesn’t want to be convinced. There’s never been a time when one could seek divine cognition from the mouth breathing troglodytes that make up the bulk of the bell curve.
The problem isn’t the people, it’s your expectations.
I’ve got a better argument but it won’t hold up in court. If a company is making a profit then all costs of production, operation, and provision have been covered, every single shareholder from the individual worker to the CEO to the suppliers have all been paid adequately and fairly for their contribution, the consumers with the means and ability to contribute have, and I thank them for enabling the ability to socialise access to the product for the rest of the society that propped up the corporation so that it could produce.
If you want to argue that suppliers, producers, and workers haven’t been adequately and fairly compensated for their contribution then why is there a profit margin?
In fact, it’s morally acceptable to socialise the benefits and production of any corporation making a profit, though the law has this pesky tendency to call it theft.
Communism without actually sharing isn’t communism. Democracy without fair elections isn’t democracy. Socialism without the socialisation of the benefit of production is not socialism. Your ignorance of these things doesn’t change what they are.
Disingenuous, ignorant, mentally deficient from years of choline deficiency. You’re right. If the shoe fits.
Eating keeps things alive, only a vegan would think taking something out of its natural environment and subjecting it to worse living conditions and a shortened lifespan without the purpose of benefitting another lifeforms ability to survive as being less harmful.
We kill for survival, you kill for pleasure and ego.
Classist vegans only care for sentience, not life.
Conveniently forgetting that the only reason a healthy nutritionally balanced vegan or vegetarian diet is even remotely possible is due to globalised trade and access to internationally produced and shipped vegetables.
To maintain a nutritionally complete vegan diet for an individual year round actually requires far more use of fossil fuels and directly released carbon emissions due to limited seasonality and local accessibility than a cow produces for the same nutrient density and complexity locally.
Here’s a “fun” fact, first world demand for fruit and grain variety has out priced primary sources of food for local populations in third world countries including things like lentils, quinoa, and avocados.
Or that nutritional deficiencies caused by incorrectly managed vegan diets are why doctors in Italy and Belgium are pushing for it to become illegal to feed children vegan diets, because the number of malnourished and dead children of vegan parents are rising in those nations.
Find something programming related that really interests your curiosity no matter how useless and work on that. Nothing motivates learning like having something you want to do with the skill beyond “so I can make more money”.
Maybe you want to learn networking protocols and data parsing and connectivity, make a trojan horse, or a packet sniffer, or a key logger.
Maybe you want to understand algorithmic processing and wrap your head around design principles, build a calculator that intentionally doesn’t work and produces funny results.
Maybe you want to get into game development? Make a dope wars clone.
You have to find your interest, after that the motivation finds itself.
You could try spending less time on the computer, and spend it with real people in the real world who don’t have these concerns because they make up the 60% of people who only interact with the internet to like cool thins on instagram.
Change is a constant part of life, adapting to new circumstances can lead to new and positive experiences, Like a conversation between two people and their feelings on AI generated content, in a calm and understanding environment.
I think that I understand how you feel, but so that I can be sure you should tell me in your own words. I understand you have many reservations, maybe something I can say can alleviate your concerns.
If someone is feeling sad about the normalization of ChatGPT posts, it’s understandable that they might be expressing concern or disappointment about a change they perceive in the nature of discussions or interactions involving ChatGPT. Here are a few things you might say:
Acknowledge Their Feelings: Start by acknowledging their feelings. You might say, “I understand that you’re feeling sad about the normalization of ChatGPT posts. It’s okay to feel that way, and I’m here to listen.”
Encourage Communication: Encourage them to share more about why they feel this way. Open-ended questions like “Can you tell me more about what’s bothering you?” can invite them to express their thoughts.
Offer Understanding: Let them know that it’s normal for people to have different perspectives on changes, and it’s okay to express their opinions. You might say, “It’s completely okay to have mixed feelings about changes, especially when it comes to how ChatGPT is used.”
Express Empathy: Show empathy by expressing that you understand their concerns. For example, “I can see why the normalization of ChatGPT posts might be disheartening for you. Changes can be challenging, especially when they affect something we care about.”
Highlight Positives: If there are positive aspects or potential benefits of ChatGPT posts, you can share those as well. For instance, “While the normalization of ChatGPT posts might bring changes, it’s also an opportunity for diverse discussions and perspectives to emerge.”
Suggest Alternatives: If applicable, suggest alternative platforms or communities where they might find the type of content or discussions they prefer.
Encourage Adaptation: Remind them that change is a constant part of life, and adapting to new circumstances can lead to new and positive experiences.
Remember to approach the conversation with empathy and an open mind, allowing the person to express their feelings and thoughts freely.
Good thing I checked, I was going to just insult you.
change all spaces to a, then all consonants to a, then all the characters to a
Chat GPT is onto you.
If we follow the instructions to replace spaces with ‘a’, then replace all consonants with ‘a’, and finally replace all characters with ‘a’, the resulting transformation would be:
Original: surrogate impetus of obscurant deliberate trogloditism
Replace spaces with ‘a’: surrogateaimpetusAofAobscurantA deliberateA trogloditism Replace consonants with ‘a’: aaaaaaaiaaaaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaAaaaaaAaaaaaaaaAaaaaaaaaa Replace all characters with ‘a’: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
So, the final transformed sequence consists entirely of the letter ‘a’.
