They were sent via direct messages so you just didn’t happen to get a DM from them.

Racism, that’s the word you’re looking for! So well implemented that the victims keep it going without any influence from the group that “has the right” to just call itself American without any prefix.

That’s just being part of a minority no matter where you live. White Americans don’t all celebrate the same things and don’t all talk the same way, with some of them being nigh impossible to understand if you weren’t raised around people who speak like them, yet they’re just called Americans. Hell, if you were raised in the USA and have Danish parents no one will call you a Danish-American as long as you don’t have an accent, but if you are of Latino origins and your family has lived on US soil since before the USA was a thing you will be called a Latin-American. It’s just racism.

Nah, that’s a load of bullshit, the only cultural aspect to it is racism. It’s just used as a way to divide people, there’s “real Americans” and then there’s the rest.

There’s a shit ton of black Americans that will never just be called Americans even though their family has lived on US soil much longer than the family of some of the white people who are just called Americans.

Yeah I’m reading what they said and that kind of solution wouldn’t be acceptable in any industry…

Imagine if you wanted to add AC to your central heating system and they told you they need to add a second furnace in parallel to the one you already have because it’s possible to add AC to your current setup, but it’s very complicated to do so…

That’s something you might lose over time, that’s why some places would install speakers with certain sounds outside their door, kids wouldn’t hang around because it disturbed them, older people just didn’t hear it.

At least if they move there their wife keeps living around her folks, contrary to mail order wives like my excolleague had…

The anti globalists were calling it 40 years ago and for some stupid reason it’s a freaking fascist who is destroying the system that the left was fighting against back then!

You can’t do as much damage with a GUI that tells you what you’re doing in regular language vs commands.

sudo rm -rf /* means nothing to a newbie

“Reset to factory settings” is pretty freaking clear

The difference is that the touch screen stuff was a more dumbed down experience, not an increase in difficulty and options.

Then you have the security issue that comes from teaching users they should just trust whatever random people tell them to do when facing an issue with their computer.

People aren’t satisfied with only their basic needs met though.

Dude, you’re the one saying it’s ok to replace paid artists with AI, you’re the one saying it’s able to do their job, you’re the one saying that it can take people’s job, you just don’t feel concerned because you can’t imagine you’ll be the one being affected, you’re the one sounding like a Trumpist “It’s ok, it will only affect others and they’re the people who I believe done deserve to make a living off their work!”

I’m done, this is idiotic.

Again, until your boss feels he doesn’t need you and can just rely on good enough shit regurgitated by AI.

You’ll keep saying that until you end up jobless because a computer can accomplish your tasks in a good enough way, not as well as you, just well enough, then because it suddenly affects you you’ll be angry about it.

It is relevant, free development/services is nice and all, but when you’re spending all your time doing it at some point you still need to eat and that requires money so what do you do? You either give up on the free stuff or reduce the amount of time you spend doing it so you can find a job meaning you lose practice and aren’t at good at it.

I’m sorry to tell you but the people who are the best at what they do don’t do it for free, the reason they’re the best is that they can afford to do it full time because they make a living off it.

And that’s the problem right there

“The best art is the one created by people who get no recognition for it”

Do you also believe the best houses are built by people who have no training in how to build them?

“Stop paying artists and people will keep creating”

They will, they won’t be able to spend the time required to become masters at it unless they’re already rich enough not to have to spend time working. It’s also the same thing here, let’s stop paying plumbers, people who like doing plumbing will just continue doing it. Let’s stop paying garbage people, someone will keep doing it because they like it… Oh wait, no they won’t.

People deserve a form of compensation for their work if we want to live in functioning societies. If we go back to living in small tribes then sure, people will just do what they must without compensation because it’s required to survive, but then human population would be in the millions instead of billions and we wouldn’t be here to talk about it because the technology wouldn’t exist anymore.

Bull fucking shit, you know as well as I do that your point doesn’t make sense.

So the best books are the ones that never get published? The Best music is free on Soundcloud? The best movies are freely available on Peertube?

Your realize that in order to achieve greatness in a field it takes time, if artists can’t live from their art because anyone is free to just make copy of it and to sell it and keep the profit to themselves then instead of making art they’ll have to find another job instead.

You might believe that AI will replace them, but AI doesn’t understand what it’s doing it just regurgitates stuff until the person asking for it finds it good enough. It lacks the will to generate emotions in the viewer or listener.
