You’re describing a ridiculously wide swathe of tech topics.
I’m guessing you’re going to tell me these people fail a purity test of yours, but content creators have to put out a LOT of content and it’s very likely one of their videos will be off. The question is not if a creator makes a mistake or a bad call, but how they respond to it.
I do know that sometimes signs are banned from protests if they use sticks, because sticks can be used as melee weapons. Yet, your right to carry an M-16 in the streets–maybe even into congressional chambers during votes–is wholly protected.
It is completely stupid.
People who read books are a different breed. I wouldn’t worry about them.
But if we’re going to make a lazy heuristical stand against AI, I’ve always enjoyed the liberal use of semi-colons.
Borders?
“I can’t believe you convinced me that we shouldn’t be letting corporations pollute the planet! I’m never falling for that again!”
I agree but I also disagree. I think it depends on the story. Lots of stories work on a simple level of “these values are good” and “these values are bad”, and that’s cool from Jungian perspective, but I also don’t want to live in a world where nobody makes life better for anyone else because it’s just pre-ordained that who is going to be a rapist and who is going to be feeding homeless people.
Like do I want to read the Lord of the Rings as imperialist propaganda against orcs and Southrons and wildlings, who actually have valid political objections to the axis of Human-Elf-Dwarf hegemony? Hell yeah I do because I’m a leftist freak, but I recognize that I am fundamentally misreading the moral context the story is presented in–it’s about archetypes, about human values, about that nature of evil, not as an independent entity in itself, but how it can manifests in each one of us.
It just depends on the story.
Probably the WORST thing a story can do is mix and match “people are only evil because of we misunderstand them” and "people are purely evil.¨ I don´t see it often, but I think How to Train Your Dragon does it.
You’ll find some friends on the writing staff of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Big Jack Horner is very obviously written as a glorious return to characters who are simply bad.
Thank you! Henching is an undeservedly maligned profession.
Character who hates being X suddenly realizes being X is helpful actually when something very contrived and unlikely happens.
Is it better when the hero decides at the last minute to spare the life of the villain so they “don’t become like them” or is it worse?
How about an android emulator running NewPipe?
Your philosophical sophistication surpasses your reading comprehension.
Haven’t sunglasses ALWAYS been used by pervs to obscure their eyeline?
I can’t hear you over this AWESOME SYNTH RIFF

The way my brain works, unfortunately. You’re not alone. My constant context-switching bothers my gf too.
Edit: Though I guess I’m a little confused (and annoyed) about why you think this is an AI thing. There’s a pretty obvious connection between bending and the Force.
Oh, there’s a Nickelodeon TV show called Avatar: The Last Airbender where people have telekinetic ability called bending, but limited to a single element (Earth, Air, Fire, Water). There’s an episode where a character is forced to bend the water inside someone’s blood to prevent her from killing people and it’s made out as a step towards evil, like a dark-sided Force power, whereas it’s really just one more way to use bending to force people to your will, just like bending a rock at their heads.
Avatar has some impressive depth to it and the writing is impeccable; definitely and always a kid’s show first, but I discovered it as an adult so it has a lot to offer. Just make sure to watch the original animated series and not the Netflix live-action caricature (and not to be confused with Avatar: Dances with Wolves in Space).
I always get kind of annoyed with Avatar’s squeamish around blood bending. Like, why? Why is that worse than hitting them in the head with a giant rock?
Not to be confused with “Shazbot” which is Melmakian for “Frak the positronic Trans Am.”
Yes, I think the surest path to rescuing this aspect of the story is as Greek tragedy.
By pro-socialist, do you mean pro-Soviet-style totalatarianism?
Thanks for the tip! I actually need to work on my french, so now I know what to look for when I open PeerTube by accident instead of NewPipe.
