And yet again I ask myself: how do you deprogram a person brainwashed into tribalism and cultism so deeply that they will actively defend a pedophile as long as he is from their tribe (or is a leader of their cult)...
It's so goddamned hard to feel compassion for people like that, but I try, I just seriously don't know if anything except pharmacological intervention can help at this stage... :(
You see, AI increases productivity SO much that you need to work twice as long as those non-AI troglodytes, and we'll fire your ass the second you finish training this model that will replace you! Isn't it a wonderful opportunity? INNOVATION™!!!
Something about it looks really cute to me. Not sure if it's the overall chubbiness, the arms or the face, but it actually made me say "aww" out loud :)
Brilliant lecture, and it points out the reasons for fundamental differences in morality, but apart from calling things by different names (vide Alligator Auschwitz in this very post), which is a great succession, it doesn't give me much actionable advice.
Still fascinating though - them you so much for posting it here! I want to listen to/read more things by him now!
Sure, that's definitely an option that would be healthier/easier for me personally, but can you really disengage when people in government build concentration camps and secret police force? I'm not even American or in America and it's just overwhelming...
One thing that really saddens me in all... this (gestures broadly at everything) is that I have no idea how to deal with people with no empathy, with people who think this is okay. I just really do not know what to say an how to say it.
I've been raised with empathy. I knew even before going to kindergarten that it's more fun to share some of my toys with other kids because then we can all play together. I knew that doing nice things for others gives you that warm fuzzy feeling. I learned that helping people is GOOD.
And I just don't know how to deal with people who have not. I don't know how to deal with people who will put other people in cages just because they look vaguely Latino, without due process. I don't know how to deal with people that cheer for that. I just don't know. How the fuck do I, do we, deal with people who have no empathy whatsoever? Not a rhetorical question by the way, I hope someone can explain it to me like I'm overly sensitive empathetic five-year old...
Good - nobody needs billion-dollar startups. The line doesn't have to co constantly go up forever. We don't need to constantly improve productivity and do more for less. Fuck that and fuck this "debate".
The problem is that this approach only works with people who are able to feel shame and/or care what the plebs thinks about them...
I said it before, and I'll say it again - this is a scene from Idiocracy playing before our eyes, only the corporate morons were brainwashed into putting "AI is awesome!" in every sentence instead of "brought to you by Carl's Junior"...
~~Brawndo~~ AI - it has electrolytes!
Goddamned shameless ghoul, holy fucking shit. We're really in full-on Idiocracy mode, only these morons feel like they have to mention AI in every single sentence instead of Carl's Jr...
Amen to that: I want to play games made by people who like games, by people who play games, and by people who want to make games. Not by MBA suits who like money and just want to make more money...
I need to read more about this, thanks! I'm not even in the US or from it, so it's not like I'll ever actually discuss it with anyone, but I'm just fascinated by the whole MAGA phenomenon, in pay because other, hopefully less brain-washy right wing movements are popping up all over the world...
