Thanks for the ad hominem. Subjective artistic value aside, do you not dispute that prompting AI to create an artistic image is functionally the same as outsourcing to another human? You input instructions and a commission fee; you get back

> AI can be used as another kind of brush. A prompt can be a masterpiece What a joke. No, AI is not a brush, it is a slop machine that spits out derivatives of the actual masters. If you go back and forth with a human artist about a comm

If this really bugs you, get involved in your local politics and get a city ordinance passed banning the use of surreptitious video recording devices including smart glasses. No reason we can’t keep these off the streets.

Is it heroic to join the military to pay for school/stay out of jail/escape poverty, and then die because the pedophile president of your country unilaterally decided to begin a bombing campaign against a sovereign nation? And the

Intent is immaterial if the output doesn’t match. The very nature of the product in attempting to coach commenters to argue in the “correct” way goes against your stated goals. This will encourage the kind of algo-speak self-censorship now

The sky’s the limit. The politicians are the ones who set the asking price, and it’s not just money. The cost is a function of how much they think they can squeeze you for discounted by how fervently you prostrate yourself to the throne.

> US 'diplomats' are campaigns big donors, or primary supports. So in this administration, that would be Epstein clients and co-conspirators. Truly sending the best.

So this isn’t really capitalism then. Crony capitalism is closer to a planned economy then it is to a free market.

This is condescending and fails to clarify your point at all. Are you saying there is no oversight or regulation in governance? Or that there is no oversight on AI? That a government pressuring a private company to change a policy is not re

Which is a false dichotomy. Trade is supposed to be mutually beneficial.

I work in IT and can’t tell you the number of talented software engineers I’ve worked with who were just as bad (or worse) than the most tech illiterate HR person you could imagine. I’d add basic troubleshooting methodology to this list. So

I like this take. Ultimately the only people responsible for what kids consume are the parents. It’s on them to control their kids’ internet access, the government has no place in it. If you want to punish someone for a child being exposed

You are completely missing the point of the categorical imperative. There are no exceptions, no loopholes, no utilitarian calculus. > For extreme examples, would it be immoral to lie to the Gestapo about harboring Jews? Were people illeg

> There is nothing morally wrong in felonies like this, just don't get caught. Highly debatable. If you believe in a categorical imperative that to intentionally deceive another person is wrong, then lying by omission is still an im

The problem is a competitor will never be able to succeed without doing the same thing. Try to compete as a "free" service and you'll have to sell ads, try to charge and you'll never get enough signups to fund the busine

The problem mentioned in the parent comment was the volume of fake accounts overloading customer support. If it’s no longer free to create spam accounts for phishing etc, the profitability of scamming will shrink and decrease the incentives
