Are we at a point where capitalism feels so hopelessly entrenched that we think it's easier to kill a form of math? I'm glad that more of the conversation has shifted to stuff like UBI, a far healthier direction than "Butlerian Jihad Lite" or "Copyright 2: We Promise This Time It'll Be Good For You"

leftism will survive this as a tendency because the rare combination of being left and having the ability to grab the levers of power does not also select for "being anti-tech". it's like one of those "pick two of three" triangles.

this has happened before with <literally every major technological advancement in the arts> and will happen again in the future. there will be discourse about how it's not real art to write a book using brain-scanning compared to the good ol' way of using an LLM assistant

yes. please join us in going "what the fuck is galactic nova's problem?"

If patriarchy, inequality, and violence are inherent to human nature, then let's surgically alter human nature until they aren't.

Won’t find me disageeeing

by all indications “literally all of society mildly likes this abominable scam homunculus” is much closer to the truth. I don’t see how you can win if you are actively in denial about the reality you’re resisting

no actually it's not! if you're feeding it sources and using it to navigate those sources with credit then it quite definitionally is not a "plagiarism machine"

i am so sorry for the gigantic tidal wave of backlash you are about to get mr. hayes, godspeed

windirstat?

WHAT?
