Why go after climate scientists… who have been saying this “for generations”? Climate scientists aren’t the problem.

“Don’t hate the companies, hate the people who lobbied for copyright laws… the companies!”
“A lot” is an interesting descriptor, especially when comparing loud easily defined groups with quieter more subtle groups.
Its the difference between those animals that puff themselves out to five times their normal size and those that prefer not to be seen at all. Are there a significant portion of the first as compared to the second, just because you see them more blatantly?
Not the crazy lady who throws cats at people?
That’s a pretty popular opinion, actually.
Don’t worry, they’ll still use your data.
… you don’t actually believe that, do you? Cause they can 100% go all in on Chinese corporations if it means they get that cashola.
And if you think Chinese companies aren’t in it for the money themselves… I’d love to meet your dealer cause you must be on some fantastic shit.
We’ve also seen over and over they won’t just fix things themselves if you rely on “competition”. They’ll just buy each other until there’s no competition, or they’ll collude to just not provide anything worthwhile in the first place.
Competition is a race to the bottom in capitalism. Government intervention has nothing to do with their race to bilk people of as much money as possible, except with regulatory capture.
Leaving them to their wiles just gets you even worse products for higher prices. The problem won’t solve itself, especially with such a high barrier to entry.
Someone’s never had a depressive episode.
Everything is 99% grey area. If someone tells you something is completely black and white you should be suspicious of their motives.
But you didn’t say you had proof with your comment, you said it was probable. Basically saying its common sense that its proven.
Why are you getting aggressive about actually having to provide proof about something when saying its obvious?
Also, that seems to imply that locking up people for AI offenses would then encourage truly reprehensible behavior by linking them with those who already engage in it.
Almost like lumping people together as one big group, instead of having levels of grey area, means people are more likely to just go all in instead of sticking to something more morally defensible.
So… its just a claim they’re making and you’re hoping it has actual backing.
Is everything completely black and white for you?
The system isn’t perfect, especially where we prioritize punishing people over rehabilitation. Would you rather punish everyone equally, emphasizing that if people are going to risk the legal implications (which, based on legal systems the world over, people are going to do) they might as well just go for the real thing anyways?
You don’t have to accept it as morally acceptable, but you don’t have to treat them as completely equivalent either.
There’s gradations of questionable activity. Especially when there’s no real victims involved. Treating everything exactly the same is, frankly speaking, insane. Its like having one punishment for all illegal behavior. Murder someone? Death penalty. Rob them? Straight to the electric chair. Jaywalking? Better believe you’re getting the needle.
As opposed to private Healthcare where they’re guaranteed to screw you over.
Poorly organized socialized healthcare, sure.
There’d be alternatives if people didn’t give up before ever looking for them.
The players make the game. It’s not a one or the other thing.
Considering the leaders of Hamas are flitting around on private jets seeing all their fellow war criminals… I dont think we can say they’re particularly oppressed or abused. Theyre just using those that are for their own malicious purposes.
Don’t forget congressional and state/local races as well. Trump is only one point of power, albeit much more visible. But the executive branch can only do so much if the legislature is red anyway.
