We'd all be better off for it. I don't want you to take a shit on the table and call it dinner. Even if you don't cook.

- dang 5mo agoThat sounds like you're denying that anything valuable can be produced with these tools. That would be an extreme position.
- ori_b 5mo agoWhen people burn down their neighbor's houses to roast marshmallows, I think that it's worth taking a strong position against them. If you listen to what effects the companies building this claim their products will have, you conclude that either they're going much farther than burning a few houses, or they're lying through their teeth. Neither of which lead me to thinking that the harm of empowering them is outweighed by having more low-effort software. So, yes. As someone that has to live in the world those assholes are building, they can go fuck themselves. I want nothing to do with their creepy, infantilizing, bleak, dystopian future. Maybe that's an extreme position, but I'm very glad I don't have children; I don't think I could look them in the eyes and tell them they had a bright future.
