  • May I ask how Biden is responsible for the war in Ukraine? Also how won’t voting to enable an evil idiot with intelligent people helping him openly planning on becoming a complete authoritarian dictatorship targeting its political opponents from achieving probably exactly that do harm? I hate to do a nazi germany comparison, but while making Hitler reichskanzler, this was the opinion of the center-conservatives that helped put him there. That definetly did cause Harm and the political situation was really quite similar.









  • Woah there, hold your argumentum ad populum! No ethics model is unflawed and just because deontological ethics work often doesn’t mean they don’t have problems. Instead of looking at the actions you can take, let’s look at the results that could be reached:

    1. Biden wins presidency
    2. Trump wins presidency
    3. 3rd party wins presidency

    No 3rd party has ever achieved presidency. Votes for a 3rd party have instead commonly resulted in votes being drawn from one party benefiting the other. So realistically we could generalise to:

    1. Voting 3rd party: Aiding Trumps victory
    2. Voting Trump: Aiding Trumps victory
    3. Voting Biden: Aiding Trumps loss

    I hate dichotomies as much as you, these shouldn’t be the options, I would seriously love to be proven wrong. Am I missing something?







  • Fair, my point was: how is it important that we understand how consciousness works to see that the way consciousness creates Art is not very comparable to a machine recognizing patterns?

    The commentor above has compared inspiration to the way AI Companies are using the labor of millions of artists for free. In this context I assume this is what they were hinting at when responding to “AI is not being inspired” with “we don’t know how consciousness works”
