It depends how you use the word, i see it as people being forced to do something they don’t want to do, you don’t say “I blackmailed you into buying a better product”, in same way i don’t say “Trump was blackmailed to be corrupt and make a fortune out of market manipulation”

The fast movement and lack of sight is what’s scary about them, snakes tarantulas will move away from you and do it slowly, cockroach will run in any direction at full speed when startled unless you explicitly startle them with large thud near them, otherwise they might dash full speed towards you

Also social upbringing making them out to be some great threat and fact we’re way more common to see them than the other actually dangerous creatures

If you’ve been using AI for a while now you’ll have grown to depend on their convenience, effectiveness aside, the time saved on simple tasks makes them very appealing to just rely on

Once you stop using them you’ll notice how much time and effort goes into those simple tasks, even just writing a post and finding information on a subject takes minutes, you’ll notice it immediately and you’ll get withdrawal because of the friction in manual work

So keep in mind that you’re doing this to regain back agency over your life be it in information you gather or work you create and fight temptation to pick the easy way that chains you with dependency

Happiness to me is having a meaning to my life, i couldn’t find a point to living for myself that was logical so i just gave up living for it and decided the only reason to live is to be morally good

So now happiness is being a good person, every now and then i’d get unexplainably sad or angry if i’m too happy for self interest reasons because life lost meaning for a moment

You’ll get withdrawal symptoms probably so fight the temptation to use it!

Yes eventually, the only way it won’t be is if it’s physically impossible to replicate a human brain, i don’t believe that’a the case

Fuck AI nonetheless, it needs regulation not hope

I already shared this opinion on a different community, reposting here o/

Each node benefits from taking share of other node’s flow, the people want more donations to buy goods, companies want more payments to increase profits, community wants more taxation to donate more to people, none are willing to get the lowest flow and in turn none are willing to increase flow to the rest, this dynamic of relying on other parties doesn’t benefit their goal

If money flow should look like this it has to be beneficial to everyone, somewhat like animal kingdom predation flow, you can argue it’s natural although it’s really just forced on all the animals they had no say in being part of this, but you can’t really claim that being eaten and fighting for your piece of the flow is ideal to anyone, so there can’t be a flow to aim for unless it’s biased

To get an ideal system all nodes have to benefit from other nodes getting flow instead of hoarding it themselves -remove private ownership from people so personal goods are worthless and community locks donations behind spending/working(you get money from building/spending on your local community) -remove competition between companies through nationalizing or globalizing and people lock spending behind taxation/benefits generated -remove violence and enforcement from community and companies lock taxation behind donation quantity/management quality

You’ll need a 4th divine body that can see everything while not being part of the flow to monitor and track these nodes, more importantly, removing violence and enforcement has lead to incursions and invasions, but at least the Ideal flow was achieved, mission successfully failed

It’s always ulterior there’s no doubt about it, the first paragraph is as media biased as you can get on these matters so to anyone reading don’t buy into these reasons, the US doesn’t have anything to prevent or respond to, they only enforce and instigate

AI didn’t steal jobs or creative work of most normal IRL people, so same as with what happened to artist years ago, they had to navigate the crisis without them, the same is happening to programmers now, people IRL are not exposed on a personal level to as much of the dark side of AI business, only environmental and educational arguments land with them, and they’re not as effective when it gives them access to seemingly free art, info and computer skills they never had

This is how i understood them personally, they don’t see it as their war, just as a war, hopefully with free subsidized system going away they’ll take a harder stance like the rest of us

This is normal don’t be ashamed, social media, chaos of this decade and phones have destroyed our attention span, keeping focused on an activity is so difficult for most of this generation especially if it’s as uneventful as reading is

My best advice is to try Manga, the visuals might keep you interested enough to hook you on the activity of reading, then you can try more text heavy books as you go, you have to be addicted to it to fight addiction of phones

You can also try Audiobooks but i personally find myself zoning out on them so many times, it’s like i’m consuming books without actually taking in it’s content

No i’m still learning, my idea has always been that soviets foreign intervention was to support socialism and communism and to fight capitalism, that was their end goal in offering support, and my idea on russia is that their foreign intervention is to combat western influence and push for russian dependency which just means a change in management

It’s hard for me to praise them knowing they’re just as likely to exploit for sake of nationalism as the US is, but i have no doubt i’m Anti-US even if i’m not pro-russia, i don’t take sides based on who’s benefited even if it’s other africans more so i try to have a full picture of the political scene, that’s where i stand

If you have any documentaries or books i can read on russia’a support for independence against france i’d love to go through them!

I’m also African. I used to be fairly biased towards west, as in letting them get away with foreign intervention with just minor scrutiny while being strongly against china russia and islam for their downfalls(misogyny, oppression ect). up until the whole files release and that took me down a rabbit hole of learning about reality of 9/11 the magnitude of bias in mainstream media and finally reading about history of socialism and eventually communism starting from Che Guevara

That alone already made me have severe criticism of US as is but what sent me over the edge is how complacent americans are, if these things happened in any other country the entire economy would be shut down by the people, but they’re just trying to avoid talking or bringing up this subject, or saying it’s out of their power, then the next moment starting a topic about their latest high end keyboard and travel plans, then switching to the difficulties of living end to end

I do my best to try and be kind i swear i do, but things like this actually drive me insane not cause they happen but because of how often it does. I kid you not i’m completely sold that if anyone will stop the west’s imperialism and foreign intervention it’s going to be another African American or LGBTQ or some minority as usual, because only suffering can bring about change and i do not see suffering from the lifestyles of the americans i talk with, it’s always only on paper

The way i see it is they feel unmotivated to reign their government in due to their lifestyle no longer being at the top of charts or better than europe? How does that fix anything in their situation though, and what do i say living off only 2 meals a day to save money? The only thing that got majority of west sphere to hate genocidal regime wasn’t their tax money being spent on it but the raising of gas price? Please someone make me central again i’m so sad now

No i’m not paid off i’m just waiting for the American people to pull their weight in all of this or not silencing and smearing people that are trying to pull in their behalf before i can feel the brotherhood bond with them as i do with soviets(not current russia) and china fighting back against RAM cartel and fossil fuels, please

Japan will do anything to stay competitive with china, bending of rules and changing of stance be it as unethical as it can be for this goal has been happening for their entire history

Spend the offline time learning to make home made bombs and molotov’s and buying weapons, the data center will be built, it’s about if it’ll stay up or not

Add opt in commercials as well that pay the users in AI tokens, and opt in system for selling data on your OS to Palantir that pays user in stocks of Israeli arms dealers, give the users freedom of choice, no problem still \s

At best it’s no longer fulfilling if it ever used to be At worst it’s exploitative to you and everyone and everything you love
