>the upset it causes others

So, what's the "upset"? Why is anybody here upset about what we're doing/I'm doing? I'm not backtracking on anything, I'm doubling down.

>malevolence

lol. lmao even.



People are upset for lots of reasons, but that's not actually important for this discussion, which is about the fact that your support for AI is apparently conditional on them being upset rather than any positives about AI.

That's weird; fans of [almost anything] don't do that.


>that's not actually important

Yeah, let's just ignore the bit where we're minding our own business, pursuing what we want, yet you feel the need to bark stuff like "dehumanizing and revolting" at us.

>rather than any positives about AI

I'm a huge supporter of AI. I want this stuff. If this upsets you, I like it even more.


You aren't minding your own business (or, apparently, reading replies carefully). If you were minding your own business, then this petty spite

> If this upsets you, I like it even more.

wouldn't be appearing. Getting off on others' pain is the opposite of minding your own business, even if only to hopefully a small degree.

Liking things because other people dislike them is at best petulant. It's more cruel.


>others' pain

>cruel

Allow me to laugh even louder. Reminds me of the "you're prompting with Hitler" meme.


This sort of faux incomprehension does an excellent job proving Planktonne's point.


Well, that's odd since Planktonne wouldn't give me a reason and said that it's irrelevant anyway.


As does your reply.


Sure, sure. Everything strengthens the anti-AI position. Have fun with that, I guess.


I'm not commenting on the value of AI. I'm talking about your bad-faith interactions here. But given that convenient misunderstanding and point-missing is something you're good at, I don't expect me spelling it out will help much either.


>your bad-faith interactions

From the first guy's "dehumanizing and revolting" comment to your buddy saying that I'm "malevolent" and "cruel" (lol).

My comprehension is just fine. All the bad-faith interactions here are distinctly coming from your side. And this is why you're still here, trying to get the last word.

>I'm not commenting on the value of AI.

And you're also an anti-AI activist, just like the other guys. This is what you do on a near-daily basis. Why pretend otherwise?


Oh, I am? That's news to me. So glad some anonymous goof who recently joined HN can tell me who I really am.
