Practically yes, despite the way that they ought to be used.
It's such a shame. Lemmy should be a place where we can collectively share ideas and debate openly. Comments and posts should only ever be downvoted if they're off topic, hateful or misleading. However, in reality people get downvoted mostly because someone simply doesn't like or wholly agree with them.
It's still better here than reddits awful circlejerks and echo chambers, but not by much and we should be wary of devolving to a state where people are disincentivized to post because they have an idea or opinion that may only be slightly off kilter to the hive mind.
The mob is fickle, brother.
The hive mind has concluded AI=bad and any comment that doesn't go along with the consensus is going to get downvotes.
It's really not that different from the beginning of the industrial revolution, when cotton mills first started to implement the spinning jenny, leaving many workers out of a job who'd go in to the factories at night to smash the machines up.
No one wants to go back to spinning cotton all day now though and it will be the same with jobs taken by AI.
I take your point. But you could make the same argument for many things that are already very affordable.
Personally, I'm against nanny taxes, they only work against people who are financially struggling, yet ironically it's generally the poorest people that have the worst health, especially when it comes to obesity.
I think there is work to be done on improving the health of the population, but I'd like to drive that from a perspective of education or a carrot rather than a stick method.
Well your comment sounded like you were implying that regulations are needed that currently aren't there.
Right. We survived the ice age with stone age tech.
Not saying that this makes any of this OK but resilience is absolutely one of humanities highest spec traits.
Imagine getting downvoted because it was fine for you. Completely stupid.
It was fine for me as well, bring on the downvotes!
Show me the demand for my body parts on only fans and I'll give up my minimum wage job.
Why should they work menial labour if they can make much easier money?
I get the feeling that if I fucked a a thirteen year old girl that "I thought she was 18" isn't really going to cut it in court.
I would think that the identity of the sex workers is unknown and that's how they'll be avoiding prosecution.
