AS I said to the other dude, I’m not going to keep coming up with examples because you’ll just keep moving the goal posts. There are tons of examples of something of value, natural or man made, being stolen and later treated as a common good.
Just do some research.
I’ve probably seen 500 instances of accusations of appropriation and I’ve seen maybe 4-5 of that were were actually real appropriation and real harm.
It’s an internet buzzword. The pattern is real but the internet zeitgeist around it is rage bait BS.
Race based humor is icky actually.
It’s possible to both be very progressive and also think the term cultural appropriation is generally misused to the point of being useless/meaningless & also cringe at race based humor.
Stop getting in their way of “America bad”ing
So I assume you agree that if someone murdered you, you would prefer they go free and live a happy life.
After all what would they be punished for. There is no victim.
Yes that’s one of the mechanisms to steal the land
Furthermore - I suspect he doesn’t even care if you understand it. He cares if it works reliably. If you accomplish the task of solving hard problems by taking shrooms and dancing naked on your keyboard, I don’t see why he would care.
Conquered is a funny way of stolen.
Coerced purchasing, or purchasing from someone else who stole, or purchasing under intentionally false understanding, is still stealing.
This is just one example. I’m not going to keeping punting just for you to move the goal posts.
Morality of using resources that someone else stole is ‘muddy’ to say the least but the majority of modern society would not function if we didn’t look the other way.
For example, I hope you’re not living anywhere in NA or most of Africa or many areas in Europe or some areas in Asia. Because if you are, you’re probably standing on stolen resources.
It’s not ‘based’ to be pro-AI.
This is the standard position for anyone that got mega-rich on tech and still has high tech market exposure, such as Linus.
This is the thing I’m trying to advocate people to understand. It’s not that they were wrong about AI a year ago - AI has changed in radical ways people couldn’t confidently predict within just a year.
The AI coding agents a year ago DID create slop that would dillute your code base. The AI coding agents today generally don’t.
It’s becoming increasingly less valuable to combat your LLM and scrutinize it’s output. You can provide more market value by assuming it’s 95% correct, doing some manual verification, and architecting it in a way that leads to low integration complexity. The OOP principles are still relevant - abstract, encapsulate, etc.
I swear I’m not an AI bro despite the above comment being somewhat pro-AI. I’m just trying to be pragmatic about the state of our field.
That stopped working ages ago.
Honestly it’s kinda sad, he could have been such an advocate for healthy living and staying sober. He could have fought for treatment for addicts.
Same with hegseth, he gets clowned on for not keeping up with the army members he trains with but, brother in christ, he’s 46 and doesn’t hold a position where physical fitness is relevant.
The two of them could have advocated for keeping your body healthy but instead they had to wrap it in manosphere anti-woke BS
We diet for the g a p so the hog has some room to roam.
I’ve seen dozen of the same core “Gamification of real world activities”.
What makes this one different from the rest?
One of the comic mods openly admitted to pinning inflammatory comments just to get push back so they could ban users that didn’t agree with their inflammatory comments. The described it as “very common practice”.
So yeah. Trolls. It was among the reason I chose to ditch the hell site.
They’re also the type to claim it’s literally impossible to be sexist towards men, racist towards white people, etc. Literally impossible to be sexist on the basis of sex, love it.
& annoying the DM is not a win condition.
Nah.
If you view corporate social media like fb/twitter/reddit as a morally wrong + negative influence on society, then this is a moral win thus worth celebrating.
Especially when you add in that the main barrier to any social media product gaining traction is first hitting that critical mass of enough posts to make it worth returning to -> habit forming + habit replacing.
