i looked at my 2y timeline and was ready to Finally Actually Really Do It™, i 100% look like a dude who grew out his hair + lost weight + took up skin care. It's like a fog has lifted. I look so fucking bad and have so much further to go. 2.5y is next month and I just wanna stop wasting time

How long until they're doing a "you will never be a person"/YWNBAP anti-AI bit in a trans person's replies? Not long, me thinks. But it's actually 100% okay for them to do that because, you know, neural nets can't feel. Them being highly abusive to real people in parallel can't be related, surely.

mfs didn't watch that ""pretend"" racism play out in real time so they're smug and condescending while being wholly unaware that this is the start of a very nasty cycle that ends with real racism which will ultimately be aimed at them, it's just starting woke this time around.

really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

QED

hailey @hailey.at · 4d

Hailey’s thread isn’t saying AI models are people — it’s about how language shapes empathy.
Her thesis is:

“Practicing cruelty, even toward things you don’t consider real, still rewires your empathy in ways that make you more accepting of cruelty overall.”

So, she’s warning that the tone of anti-AI discourse — when it borrows from dehumanizing rhetoric — risks importing old prejudices into new contexts, and that this ultimately corrodes empathy across the board.

i think something that has become extremely clear is that the way we communicate with and about each other online has gone way off the deep end. the degree to which folks claim moral superiority yet talk about others with absolute disdain and disregard is not a good indicator of where we are going.

"AI bad so it's okay if I'm pretend racist towards it, there are no secondary effects to consider because it's not a person" 😭😭 please somebody make it stop

idk but they're really mad and are probably telling themselves I'm the CTO of OpenAI or something like that

it can be both true that computers are not alive and also abusing them is bad. maybe it doesn't technically hurt anyone when you throw a controller against the wall in frustration, but it's still training a bad instinct.

Nicole Saltesi @nacl.sh · 4d

you are missing the point. the point isnt that the computer can feel cruelty, the point is that the hater is using the computer as a proxy for their cruelty. it trains us to be cruel. it accommodates us to certain behaviors. like stomping on a bed of wildflowers.

Yeah absolutely for sure dude, you're right, you can't be bigoted against something that isn't a person. That's why you should go ahead and just keep abusing an inanimate object until it's reflexive, I'm sure this will have no long term consequences.

my 7y highly abusive relationship with NixOS paying dividends with how stable my Linux gaming setup is across all of the Wayland compositors I've tried, not exactly something I would suggest anybody else do though...
