No you don’t understand… I’ve spent the last 30 years investing in increasingly awful software companies to create “industry standards” and leaving these companies behind would require me to change and learn!!!

Hey, whatever you need to tell yourself to make your perception of reality make sense to you…

Yeah and the sitting president wouldn’t possibly fuck a child…

No I just know that any reasonable argument I provide won’t change anything. Proponents of AI have a similar psychological profile to religious people. Besides if you truly wanted factual information on the differences between AI and “tools” you’d look into it. You don’t.

I’m not going to bother…

You really think a calculator and generative AI are the same thing?

You really can’t tell which is worse?

This is the type of reasonable that will lead us all to an AI hellscape.

Look into nginx proxy manager. Pretty easy to setup and deploy.

We should die out on this planet.

Touché.

Verbal internal dialogue where the talker refers to me as separate from itself.

Does being purposefully obstinate usually work for you, or are you unaware of your obstinace?

Spoken like a 22 year old who grew up in a conservative household and never needed to think beyond what others have told them.

That’s convenience…

They’re all evil, bud. That’s my point. You’re causing harm to someone somewhere with the things you spend your money on. Folks can downvote all they want, but what I’m saying is true. Doing the least damage isn’t doing no damage.

What’s the difference in apathy and inaction?

Nothing.

Yeah this is the type of response I expected. An unserious meme potshot because that truth is too uncomfortable.

Collective action, but that takes people and people, again, don’t like giving up their conveniences.

You guys are gonna lose your shit when you find out where your tax dollars are winding up… Or your phone purchase dollars… Or your electricity bill dollars…

Are you alive and spending? If the answer is yes, congratulations you cause pain and suffering.
