i depicted you as a smuglord because you're acting like a smuglord.

there is a fundamental difference between how our brains experience information and how LLMs work, but tbh there isn't really anything i can say to you that hasn't already been explained perfectly in other comments here like DogThatWentGorp's. you just don't want to engage because you made up your mind before you even asked.

Very ironic to call lemmygrad reactionary while on hexbear btw ngl. Every AI or sex work debate on here just turns the hive into the most reactionary libbed up place that can hold a candle to reddit.

and every time i see some xitter checkmark-tier tech bro shit or some incel shit dressed up as leftist it's lemmygrad.

literally nobody here has argued anything about souls, and instead of acting smugly superior, if you really think none of what we said is valid how about actually explaining why?

the AI debate really shows the difference between the grad and hexbear.

on that note, does anyone know why blocking lemmygrad hasn't hidden its users replies for me? every time i see something absurdly reactionary but with left wing aesthetics it's lemmygrad.

this is all fair honestly and i'm so sorry for how accusatory and dismissive i was in my responses to you.

Which brings me to the first comment, which is that, my schooling taught me that 'patriarchy' is extremely damaging to all genders, and that associating it simply with 'men' is reductive and (at least according to the most Marxist one I knew) reactionary. You want to hate the patriarchy, not specifically men.

that's absolutely true! and i don't mean to argue that men are the sole enforcers of patriarchal oppression, but i do think men of any social standing benefit from it directly and enforce it even when its to their own detriment. patriarchy does indeed oppress non-powerful men since they must adhere to its norms (e.g. military drafting), and patriarchy can indeed be upheld by women who are conditioned by it, but regardless its still a system designed with the intent to keep women under the power of men. i don't feel it's unreasonable for someone belonging to the group designed to be oppressed by patriarchy to harbor a resentment and distrust toward the people designed to benefit from it and enforce it the most because of those benefits.

You are talking about hating 3.4 billion people, of which an extremely small and shrinking percentage enjoy the full benefits of patriarchy.

i also feel it's important to note that saying "i hate men" isn't saying "i hate all men including the impoverished filipino man who doesn't know i exist" more than it's saying "i'm actively hurt by the men around me so i don't want to be around men" since hatred of men again is a consequence of victimhood under patriarchy, and not a systemic effort to oppress all men. it would be fantastic if nobody had to feel that way, and destroying patriarchy is how we achieve that. i also argue that the entirety of men enjoy benefits even if it isn't to the same degree as powerful men, while women enjoy none.

also, on the topic of intersectionality, oppressed people do engage in the oppression of other varieties of oppressed people. hezbollah is violently oppressive to women and LGBTQ+ people for example. it's reasonable to fault those on the outside who use that as an excuse to dismiss the good they're doing, since obviously they're contributing to greater liberation long term, but should we consider it unreasonable if the victims of their oppression hate them?

mine's still good for a while but if i were in this situation i'd renew it anyway just so i don't risk not being able to get the fuck outta this hellhole

alright, i'm sorry to have been uncharitable; i see what you were saying with your first comment now.

Ah yes, saying that hating half the population of the world due to their gender is 'reasonable and based' is something an extremely reasonable person would say, for sure.

this part still bothers me though because i don't think it's unreasonable for the oppressed to come to the conclusion that they hate their oppressor especially when in practice that hate manifests much differently because of those roles as well, i.e. women resenting and avoiding men because of men's hostility toward them, while men control,removed, and murder women because patriarchy teaches them that's what they're owed and lash out when women try to be sovereign. while i do understand now that you aren't arguing it's the same, comments like this one come off as dismissive and mirrors rhetoric used by MRAs to argue that men are being treated unfairly.

Given the complete online media divide that exists to solely separate and drive gender antagonisms (which is usually a small foundation of real grievances onto which a mountain of bullshit is heaped)

i also feel that this inaccurately portrays the situation as much less one-sided than it actually is. there's a media drive to maintain patriarchy and provoke intense hatred toward women who don't fall in line. liberals often try to portray this as a "gender war" pitting both sides against each other, when in reality one side is oppressed and the other oppresses, and by not acknowledging the power imbalance the status quo is maintained (with progressive aesthetics).

you say it like people hate men for the same reason men hate women

misandry isn't real, women or even anyone who dares to not present masculine are extremely oppressed under patriarchy, and it is reactionary to attack anyone who feels resentment toward men because of that.

it's also extremely dismissive and gross that you think there's only a small foundation of real grievances and you need to educate yourself on patriarchy.

haha women difficult amritie

kindly shut the fuck up

expressing creativity and inspiring others to do the same is unique to the human experience. AI proponents view art not as an expression of self but as a faceless product to be consumed (and as such are happy to remove the human element entirely) but the latter without the former has no meaning and inspires no meaning in others.

the art we create is also a result of our own study, practice, and effort. much of what makes art worth appreciating isn't just the end result but the process itself. if someone makes ghibli-esque animation with sora or whatever, it looks fine, but i can't look at it in awe of the massive effort and years of study and practice it took for the artists to get to that point and feel inspired to do the same with my own ideas, because it was generated automatically by a machine and i am not a machine.

to see proponents and users of AI try to eliminate this uniquely human experience that has given many of us a life purpose throughout all of our species' history for the sake of quicker and easier consumption is something that must be opposed, and without capitalism i don't think anyone would truly be compelled to try to automate art because art is not and was never about making products more efficiently.

you would think noai would have been default because of the result of that poll they did, but nope

i can't and won't recommend duckduckgo to family and friends cuz if i start having to explain that they have to type in a special URL to get an ai-free version they're just going to stop listening. it's just a bing metasearch engine anyway and the results aren't good enough to justify this shit.

ngl i genuinely did not believe this headline because pigs never face justice

it sucks to be right

lets be real though; they think socialism is when bernie sanders

ive been hearing about how manifest v3 is going to do this since like 2018

just get it over with already holy shit
