That is an incredibly callous response to the situation they described. Their partner didn't decide to be a financial drain. It could happen to you too. All it takes is one bad day and you're in severe medical debt.

That is hilarious. "I got an MBA from Harvard but totally believe I can get a 500-1000% return on my investment"
Sure, and I'm not calling it the end times. But things will continue to get worse as carbon accumulates and causes temperatures to rise.
Having a child has and always will be a moral and ethical choice (for those who have a choice) and it should not be taken lightly. But there are different stakes now than before. And we still haven't gotten rid of the looming shadow of nuclear annihilation, we've only added to the ways we can destroy ourselves.
Isaac Asimov was wrong. The only real law for robots/AI will be to not jeopardize the company's profits.
I'm not about to say people can't have kids, but they should really do their best to truly understand the future that awaits those kids. That temperature line is going to keep going up (except in certain areas when the AMOC collapses). Things will be worse and no one is coming to save us. Deciding to bring a new life into that future is a serious ethical and moral choice.
Helping generate less carbon at some point in the future does not help with the fact that we are racking up the carbon bill now. What these companies are doing is entirely unnecessary, gimmicky, and will lead to even worse climate change outcomes. Between AI, crypto, and the O&G companies we just keep pressing the gas even harder on serious, irreversible climate change.
I hope this AI push fails spectacularly at some point, but the damage is already being done.
Caitlyn Jenner is a shitty person, but it's still wrong to purposely misgender her.
Up voting for linking to Dead Domain. It's a good video with a lot of time taken to go over the various issues. Certainly doesn't cover absolutely everything, but does a good job showing why TST ends up being more marketing than actual good.
A less problematic Satanist org fighting the good fight would be nice
What is a pension? /s
But also, no. No one should be forced to endure this world just to keep pensions going.
I get the feeling you haven't interacted with any trans people. Or taken any time to listen to their stories. You should really broaden your understanding.
Sorry about your partner's health. I know it's unlikely, but hopefully things can get a bit better for y'all.
