Whats scummy is discouraging people from sharing their artistic expressions because your inferiority complex from them using a tool. Art has always been copied and built from other people. How many drawing books teach you to trace existing art to learn? How about photo realistic drawings which are traces from photos? How many works are derivatives from public domain? Yet that all gets to be art...The scumy thing in AI is that corporations use them for profit and aim to remove labor so they can increase their wealth hoarding, not that people can use them to express themselves without needing years of training...

Oh no, someone used a tool to express something....this anti people making art with AI is so damn tiring.
It's talking about the world's PRISON population not the world's population as a whole 🤦
Nice so the site is down now what a joke
Listen I love the battery life on my m1 but it's the first mac I've owned and "intuitive" is not the description I'd use for the ui. Is terminal and homebrew familiar sure, and for most things it does work. But then there are the real oddities in the ui. Like why does finder not show me my full file system by default? Why do I drag and drop when installing a new app, thats fucking stupid. Why are files in folders just placed where ever with no order? There should be a grid pattern that works by default so it doesn't become so disorganized. Why does clicking into folders just add a divider in finder instead of actually opening the folder so that after a couple nested folders you can barely make out file names. If you have lived with that madness for all your life maybe it's "intuitive" because you have gotten used to it but linux and windows are just miles ahead in ui intuitiveness when it comes to basic functionality like this.
If you enjoy escape rooms try out Escape Academy, haven't seen anyone mention it but it's really a blast!
Pretty sure they are talking about bozo's wife not the others
Europe: "terrorized and colonized the world to get spices" Also Europe: "serves up absolute disgusting food like this"
What the fuck was it all for?!?!
I mean not really the white house released the math, you can verify each of the rates proposed and realize that yeah it's not reciprocal tariffs, it's literally making a tariff based on trade deficits and even where there are trade surpluses, i.e we sell more than we buy, he was still trying to put tariffs on those countries. It's brain dead and does nothing but kill trade relationships and harm the economy. We do not have all the raw materials needed to produce everything in the US. Nor do we even have the capacity to manufacture everything in the US without the price of goods skyrocketing (not even talking about the time it would take to build up manufacturing facilities which just further deflates this whole 'plan') or the salaries of those workers falling so far below minimum wage the wealth gap would skyrocket past its already incomprehensible levels. There is one side using completely bad faith arguments and narratives with a group of people with so much cognitive dissonance that you could tell them trump said eating shit will make the economy better and they would eat it up in a heartbeat. Then you have another side just pointing out how completely brain dead these takes are but apparently there must be nuance and a global agenda to hide how eating shit makes the economy better. There is no "can't see what's going on" its just you willingly putting your head in the sand so you don't have to realize how fucking stupid is to even have to argue about this.
Have they isolated the reality that we are also living in times where there are a plethora of factors that are decreasing people's life outlooks? Depression also affects critical thinking skills. People are less inclined to practice critical thinking when most of their time is spent working for billionaires that are eroding our standard of living daily. I'm not going to be practicing how to be my best when the output of my work goes towards some rich societal parasite. And if that is taking most of my time when do I get to do this for myself when I'm tired after work? What about the fact education as a whole has been going into the shitter? If anything AI is masking how bad our current working conditions, work expectations, and dwindling education standards are truly affecting our falling critical thinking skills. I'm sorry but with all the external factors here I am extrenely skeptical of the results those studies are claiming to demonstrate, the controls to really isolate this down to purely AI being the root cause seems nearly impossible given the state of the world right now. But if you have links to these studies instead of random hearsay, I'd like to see how they isolated this down with controls on their study.
Edit: i see you posted down below and yeah i think this underscores my entire point:
"Furthermore, higher educational attainment was associated with better critical thinking skills, regardless of AI usage."
So it's not a factor of AI use its the fact our educational standards have gone to shit. And further more they are drawing results by comparing different generations and ai tool use dependence between them. Which doesn't isolate this decline to be just due to AI. I don't know this seems like a flawed study that's claiming correlation to be causation.
You realize part of seeking asylum also can involve crossing the border without permission and is codified in law?

Art is a form of expression for people.....it doesn't matter how long it took what matters is that they wanted to share something with others that they thought of. This is their expression of that thought. The model isn't going anywhere and allowing them to be more efficient in their expression by using a tool to it quicker doesn't diminish that no matter what. You want to be mad at scummy companies for how they trained the models and them trying to remove labor from the mix so they can become massive monopolies all while fucking over the planet and increasing the wealth gap. Go right ahead that is completely valid, but shutting down other people's forms of expression for using a tool is bullshit gatekeeping that does nothing constructive.
