It’s just obvious from your way of speaking that this is a rewriting of history, yes you have mentioned some poor world building she has done outside of her literature, that is almost entirely irrelevant to the books she has written.
Calling her works ‘mediocre’ is once again, objectively incorrect and in my opinion (this is an assumption) is fuelled by your own personal feelings towards her.
does shitting on the floor exist as a major plot point in the series? No?
you are letting your hate for a person obscure the objectivity behind the comments you are replying to.
I don’t know, a lot of vegans also garden and also, are vastly more aware of the industrial food systems and purposefully avoid unethical food sources.
It would be fair to say, more ethical than some vegans, some that are ‘low effort’ that just look out for vegan food and sometimes eat nothing but processed foods. But if you follow vegan influencers, many of them are so knowledgeable of the food systems that they buy from that implying they are unethical is just plainly wrong.
not implying they are right wing at all, that wasn’t my intention. Try re-reading it.
Nah, op is correct.
So the first comment in this thread did not say they were infuriated? Is that not what I was originally replying to? Is that not why I said I was unbothered by namecalling, to point out the fact that it is not infuriating?
I think YOU are missing the point of the first comment and MY point.
They said that they are infuriated by people name-calling them, somebody said “see how you like it” and… I wasn’t infuriated.
Insane that anti-vegan people (who have generally fallen for right-wing propaganda) are so bandwagony that you are getting upvoted for being so very incorrect.
Weird that this didn’t affect me or want to change my diet at all.
I think there is a way to create ‘ethical’ meat through giving animals good lives and having laws around the ages they can be killed, etc.
However I don’t think it’s possible due to the costs and land required to do this, so unfortunately, I don’t think there is any ethical way to produce meat these days. The most ethical is probably hunting to prevent overpopulation.
if you are infuriated by somebody pointing out the cruelties of your actions then i think that is a reflection of you, not them.
A discussion in good faith means treating the person you are speaking to with respect. It means not having ulterior motives. If you are having the discussion with the explicit purpose of changing their minds or, in your words, “alarming them to take action” then that is by default a bad faith discussion.
If you want to discuss with a pro-AI person in good faith, you HAVE to be open to changing your own mind. That is the whole point of a good faith discussion - but rather, you already believe you are correct, and are wanting to enter these discussions with objective ammunition to defeat somebody.
How do you actually discuss in good faith? You ask for their opinions and are open to them, then you share your own in a respectful manner. You aren’t trying to ‘win’ you are just trying to understand and in turn, help others to understand your own POV.
If that is how you feel about AI, then you would need to stop posting on social media and probably even stop having text conversations on your phone. Stop buying things online, stop watching YouTube, etc.
Every bit of virtual footprint that you have will, in some way, be used to train AI / machine learning / be sold for marketing purposes.
I don’t think stopping your life because AI exists is the right thing to do. Those ‘other artists losing their jobs’ would also be fuelling AI wiht this logic, so we should all stop making art?
The innocent civilians (and soldiers) on both sides who died for their rulers thinking they were heroes.
I feel your response warrants quite a deep and philosophical response in return.
No reason to share my drawings
That depends why you were sharing them in the first place. It does suck that your content will be stolen and potentially recreated in the future - I have to ask, how do you foresee that affecting you?
Let’s go back to 2010, you share your drawings, some people see and enjoy them, and the world keeps spinning. Is that what you want to share them for, for people to enjoy them?
If that’s the case, then my question is: Why does that change if AI is scraping your drawings?
People will still see and enjoy your drawings, regardless of whether AI consumed them or not.
it will only be good to the AI corporations
Why will it only be good to the AI corporations? That implies that it wouldn’t be good to anyone anyway, in which case, there is no point posting them either way - but I don’t think that’s true. I think it’s good for you to share your drawings and get feedback, and it’s good for other people to see them. The addition of AI is a negative one, but it doesn’t remove the good, it just adds some bad.
Are there any good examples of AI in games that do the opposite of this? Off the top of my head, pretty much every game works like this, I imagine having every NPC having its own vision & memory would become very complex to manage.
Jarritos and it isn’t close. The Mandarin flavour. Mexican sugar is next level.
I also think Coke itself is ‘underrated’ I would go so far as to say it’s an elixir. Hungover? Need a pick-me-up? Just want a nice drink with dinner? It’s insanely good, probably why it got so popular in the first place. You can say the same for any sugary soft drink though.
When did I argue? You’re entitled to your opinions and as I said I’m not going to disagree with you. Pointing out that they are subjective was not an attack but an observation. I just wished you would have a better time if you ever came back because it sounds to me like it wasn’t a good one.
I’m not looking for an argument, I was just commenting on the similarities of the cultures.
All subjective and I’m not going to disagree with you. I hope if you ever do find yourself back in the UK that you have a more enjoyable time.
As somebody from the UK I understand your original comment but putting Germany on this list is interesting – I find German and UK culture to be very similar.
First I’d hire the best recruiter in the country…
But seriously, with difficulty. Lots of research.
see how obvious it was?
