I'm sure that the intention of your comment is benevolent, but the greatest issue not addressed by it is that capitalist greed is relentless and now persists without mass consumption. Plastic pollution garbage gets manufactured to line up the shelves well before anyone even purchases it and tosses it away. Workers will be given the bare minumum to sustain their lives because there are a dozen or more other people willing to compete for the same job, for potentially even less. The combustible poison siphoned up from the earth will continue to be released into the atmosphere even if most people switch to battery-channeled transportation that will still break down and waste away its parts in the environment.

Interesting offside note from an old 1958 experiment that I recently read on attempts at raising Grouse (extremely difficult due to their ineffective immune systems), but one test batch lost all males to disease. Eventually, one of the hens took on male mating mannerisms and behaviors with the other females. The other females self-ovulated and laid unfertilized eggs. It was only during autopsy that the "male" was determined to be a female because it had convinced the researchers so well.

Biologically, males are a necessary component (under the logic of "at least one") of dimorphic species but people really should ensure that the limiting factors aren't largely based on primitive sexual and reproductive requirements. People just need to take better care of each other, period.

Terminator was an artistic way to present an avoidable future, but these AI slaves really can't find a better use of their time.

I could really go for a bit of non-existence in this trying time.

It is important to consider the relationship between narcissism and the buzzword of self-love without the influence of external factors like the affection of others. Differentiating between the primitive self-preservation component of narcissism and what morally sustainable self-love can be in practice is a good starting point.

But delicious. I'll be glad once I can afford more protein in my diet on salary. Year'll come eventually.

Agreed, to an extent. Like what we saw with Coke's AI commercial, companies are eager to do anything that will cut their costs while maintaining profits. If it can seemingly replace a salaried position, they'll do it just to lump that amount of annual grand into the profit pile multiplied by however many people they replace with a pile of code. Who knows how long it will take them to analyze and assess if the marketing/data-entry/creative quality dip is worth the ratio in boosted profit margins.

Which, dystopically and sadly, polarizes safe human work into either menial physical labor that codeshit cannot perform but is necessary to be done (janitorial, warehouses, logistics, maintenance, construction, bodily care, etc.) or license-authorized professional work gatekept by organized legislation, boards, and the obscenely rich (law, healthcare, academics, government, private research, etc.)

Unless a legal damper is placed on AI, we're in for a really, really dim future for diverse job field employment.

Was recently granted the privilege of a permanent ban on reddit for a username I had for over four years and it led me down the rabbit hole of seeing more and more claims from other people who went through similar experiences. Hell, there's a lot of them. Frivolous reports resulting in punishment, appeals being automatically denied, the works, etc.

It might just be a presumption, seeing how many bots slide under the radar each day on that site through posts and comments, but I have a strong feeling that most (seemingly random) admin bans are designed to flush out active and semi-active human users rather than weed out bot code posing as people online. The end goal? Whether it's to create an automated, cyclical platform designed to extract marketing and ad revenue from a steady stream of new users or anything else for that matter, I know not. All I know for certain is that the ban tendencies have ramped up in the recent year and the people actually being punished for it are those who have been using it for long periods of time and manage to conveniently fall on the edge of a subjective TOS offense.

I had my suspicions that it was gradually turning into an AI-fueled cesspit, but now I've had my chance to really believe that it has. Good riddance in that case
