      I think your argument attempts to highlight a hypocrisy where mine highlights consistency but I may be misunderstanding.

      If you go back to my original comment you'll see that I said:

      I've seen threads in the main piracy community where the general consensus seemed to be that copyright should be used as a weapon against AI.

      That's the "Piracy OK" side, so yes, there is hypocrisy there. I'm reminded of the classic "what kind of woman do you think I am?" story.

        I'm on .world, and I'd happily throw all the billionaires into an industrial shredder.

          Wrong, because of what words mean and the context implied by the .world domain itself

            Linux/SteamDeck = Good
            Anything else = bad

            Porn games should be available for all, but GOG sucks because they did something shitty years ago.

            The only thing worse than a right winger is the wrong kind of leftist. (I feel this is a global thing not only US)

              Nintendo is worse than EA, Activision, Konami, Ubisoft, Epic, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Nestle, and the IDF combined.

              There may be some things they do that annoy me, but there also a lot of things they do that I like, and I don't think they're anywhere near the worst in the industry right now. It is just so very tiring that it is seemingly impossible to discuss anything related to Nintendo at all without threads immediately devolving into a circlejerk about how much some of y'all hate anyone who dares to even enjoy their games.

              I don't think Nintendo sucks. I'm also older and remember what they did to gaming when it started. They still put out title after title of quality games.

                Reddit is full of Russian fuck bots arguing over which chump to pull one over. I don't think it's a high bar.

                  All capitalism is bad, and any attempt to rein it in is failure before any attempts.

                      World == USA

                      Incredible US bias here to the point where many discussions completely ignore the existence of the rest of the world.

                      Lemmy is actually worse than reddit here. The only network that at least tries to be cosmopolitan is Mastodon and that's why it just feels so much healthier there.

                        GenAI being used in missile guidance makes zero sense - the technology is not applicable there, because you need precision and reliability. Normal AI, sure.

                        I specifically said "not Gen AI".

                          I agree with Hawke, I think people are against the use of technology in such a way that it exploits workers and customers, not fundamentally against the technology itself.

                          I agree with that statement too. Where Hawke and I are disagreeing is I believe Self Driving cars can be used to exploit workers and customers. We already have Waymo robot taxi cabs that are displacing human drivers.

                          That's not how I ready their statement... I think Hawke is saying that AI itself is not inherently bad, just that it's being used for bad things. The bad things they identified are different from yours, but I think you're basically saying the same thing over-all?

                              An unfortunately apt analogy in its misogyny.

                              'A billionaire offers to kill a man, proposing a price paid to his family of $1 billion dollars. The moribund man says "sure!". "And what about if you pay me $1000 for the privilege?". "What kind of man do you think I am?". "We've already established that and are just haggling the price"'. A less misogynistic, less funny but accurate version of the joke.

                              Murdering criminals, we all agree on. Murdering the family man only works if he consents. It doesn't make him hypocritical or suicidal to reject a price.

                              If AI and media companies treated their employees well and offered fair terms for a subscription, the advocates would probably not pirate or boycott.

                              Again I am not that kind of pirate and I'm pro AI, but I don't think their views are inconsistent or anything. So anyways just my take but your stance is interesting too.

                                That it shouldn't be US or any other nation defaultism, putting the left/right argument squarely in the realm of the relatively objective socialist/capitalist economic scale.

                                      This isn't even taking into consideration eating red meat which has a far great impact than any AI query ever will, but most anti-AI peeps aren't ready for that conversation.

                                      Exactly, If caring about the environment is why you hate AI, but you still eat red meat and take flights on holiday you don't have a leg to stand on.

                                        All capitalism is bad, and any attempt to rein it in is failure before any attempts.

                                        I’ve seen people advocate for communism here and asked them to name an example of a communist government of a major country that hasn’t devolved quickly into a dictatorship, and let me tell you, the hysteria and rage could power a small city. I’m fairly progressive, I like to think, but it seems like a lot of lemmings have gone so far down the anti-capitalist rabbit hole they’ve literally come out the other side in China and are wearing Mao stickers.

                                          We certainly do have our fair share of Zionist scumbags.
