We're so used to this by now, but in fact his rantings are truly shocking. I will never be able to understand how any of this is acceptable to anyone.

Your AI-generated image of a cat riding a banana exists because of children clawing through the dirt for toxic elements. Is it really worth it?
LLMs like Chat GPT come with major social costs — including child labor — that we can't ignore. Do we really need progress that's built on the suffering of others?

I'm a white female who has contributed a lot. But I'm disabled now, and I fear we are also on the list.

This was absolutely a foreseeable outcome of Trump's campaign promises of more tariffs and mass deportations. 2 + 2 does not equal 5.
Also, get ready for crime to increase as the economy crashes.

I agree with what you're saying, but is this AI slop? Please consider the environmental impact of AI.

Hope this goes to the International Court in the Hague, and Hegseth is tried for murder.

Sometimes a good old pity party is necessary and hopefully helpful. Sorry for everything you've had to go through.

Eugenics really is the logical conclusion of their arguments tho, so maybe it's good that they're at least being honest about it. OTOH, as someone who's had an AI disorder since childhood, I'm a little upset that they want me and others like me to just die.

I guess it's not surprising, but I hate to think of how empowered AVers are now. Ugh.
Just glad I met some incredible women. That is the truly amazing thing.

Right, like our friends at Tylenol.
God these people are assholes. My 82-year-old mom watches Fox News and actually gets health advice there, even though I have begged her not to.

Given the huge funding cuts to all areas of science except AI, plus the drift toward RFK and alternative BS, I think you're on to something here. POTUS and VP are becoming full anti-vax, so it's a pattern. Meanwhile, China is ramping up science research and overtaking the US.
