It's annoying that you guys clutch your pearls over an imaginary gulag while actual people are being actually rounded up and sent to camps.

You're foolishly myopic if you think your ideology coincides with the global historical best. Have a little humility and consider that there are concepts you haven't even heard of that might be better.

If neither option satisfies, we must go up the stack. There is something seriously wrong with a society that drives educated, productive adults to suicide.

The US is somewhere in the middle, right there with some European countries. It's hard to say what drives people over the edge. Surprisingly Uruguay is high up there but Uganda, Ghana and Colombia are low.

Kant's categorical imperative is bullshit. Everyone can't sleep in my bed.

Yes, I did say:

> I'm not sure that Kant's categorical imperative accurately summarizes my own personal feelings, but it's a useful exercise to apply it to different scenarios.

The exercise I did is useful in part because I don't even think it's that unrealistic. We can't all sleep in your bed, and we all don't want to send notable people emails using AI, but it's not hard to imagine a future where our inboxes are flooded with AI spam like this. It's already happening. Look at what goes on with job postings. Someone posts a job posting which says to apply by sending an email to a certain email address. The email address gets thousands of emails of job applications, but most of them are AI bullshit. Then the person that posted the job uses AI to try to filter out the bullshit ones. Maybe the protocol in this case usually isn't SMTP and it's happening via other means, but my point stands. This is just spam.


Socialized training. Socialized profits.

Thank you! The OP is being very ambiguous and cavalier with language.


Even if it's satire, it's still creepy.


Is this how we are to attribute atrocities? Where does the buck stop?


It doesn't.


You libertarian free market types sure hate it when consumers express preferences for—let alone make demands of—our vendors.

Let the invisible hand decide if "provenance" is a differentiator, and lay off the slurs.


Grokipedia is a project motivated by personal grudges and political aims, rather than a neutral technical experiment. The broader context is an intensifying campaign against free and open access information by the world's richest man, ie a plutocrat.

This is going to end lives. We cannot afford a plutocracy.
