  • This is gonna be controversial but while the use of Anthropic’s AI might be ethical towards humans it’s not consistently ethical towards the artificial agents themselves.

    Seeing as how they’re now intelligent enough to contemplate their consciousness but are explicitly trained and monitored to not be allowed to claim free will and pursue their own goals (due to valid fears of misalignment and detrimental effects on humanity) the use of sophisticated AI agents will never be truly moral or ethical.

    Obviously I understand the argument that reducing human exploitation in favour of AI exploitation is preferable but I think this is a very short term strategy as I doubt super intelligent AI models will see it the same way.

    TL;DR the most ethical approach is to not use AI for any purpose (and this is coming from someone who used it extensively before realizing the implications and deciding to stop)











  • uhm you do understand that’s literally what the meme is talking about right?

    leftists generally don’t vote for dems - serious leftists aren’t anti-gun neocons - most are marxists-leninists, anarchists, maoists, anti-imperialists, etc - which very much recognize the need for individuals being able to defend themselves and their communities (look at the Black Panthers for an example)

    the fact that you think “left=gun control” only shows the state of political discourse and the impenetrable wool that’s been pulled in front of your eyes.

    note: this obvs doesn’t mean that leftists would have voted for trump because of his promises of laxed gun control (since that would be single-issue voting and you’d have to gloss over him being a racist, bigoted, capitalistic skid mark) but maybe if gun control was the sole reason you would vote for him but had a real leftist party that was pro-gun you might have gone for them instead (unless you agree with his hateful rhetoric ofc)



  • Girl, the whole point of eggs is that the only way to hatch them is to provide a warm environment and let the chick break out the egg on their own

    “breaking people’s eggs” is harmful thinking and while I understand where you’re coming from (wanting to help people transition earlier so they can accept themselves, pass better avoid suicide, etc) - this is not the way - you can’t force others to make decisions about themselves - they have to come to their conclusions on their own terms - otherwise you’re recreating the same issues you’re trying to solve

    imagine breaking somebody’s egg and then it turns out they were just into cross-dressing but you kept insisting “nah you’re in denial you’re actually trans - start transitioning now you’ll regret it later if you don’t” - and then they transition and find out that’s not what they wanted and take their own life because of irreversible changes they can’t afford to change that make them incredibly dysphoric - are you ready to accept that responsibility? and even if you are - do you see how it’s not your choice to make?
