  • Yeah. Any Co2/other climate change regressions that the US makes affect everyone globally, and while water use is local, its also as-needed, so post-collapse you have to use up all your water anyway.

    AI could use solely graywater/non-water cooling and renewable energies, and that’s the answer, just takes slowing down, building specific and rigorous facilities, . Letting the US speed along just hurts everyone due to climate change.

    That and every major company economically depends on each other, and disconnecting from the US in a way that doesn’t cause backlash also takes time.

    Fuck america but don’t let them drill holes in the boat we’re all riding.



  • A lawyer is considered an extension of your (legal) self. The reason is that if your lawyer can be compelled to talk about your private communications, then a client won’t actually get a fair trial, as they needed that lawyer aware of everything to defend them properly, but if prosecution could just call your lawyer to the stand and go “did they do it?”, no one would tell lawyers anything incriminating.

    Your spouse is also considered to be part of you, legally. You have a right to confide in them, they are part of your life.

    Same for a priest, many religions require confessions and have religious consequences for not confessing or a priest telling what they heard. The right for them protects them from being forced to break religious rules, although notably this one doesn’t exist everywhere.

    Nurses and doctors are covered in the same way, actually. Revealing your medical information improperly is a HIPAA violation.

    Aside from spousal privilege, all of these relate to their job. Your lawyer defends you, your priest hears your confessions, your doctors and nurses treat you. If you tell your priest about your heart condition and your lawyer about your blaspheming against god and your doctor about that time you murdered a man back in '03, then no privilege protects you at all.



  • No.

    That’s true for people. Corporations don’t learn from mistakes and cannot improve over time, they’re legally obligated to seek shareholder value.

    Expecting a corporation to do things for the right reasons is like expecting AI to do things for the right reason.

    If we must interact with either, we must simply be glad when the answer is correct. If we want corporations to act more like people and be able to have real values, we need to bake a corporation’s values into law in some way.

    Private businesses can still have morals and can learn and all that good stuff where the method matters, but public ones will always dehumanize.

    So I’m happy they hit the right result. I’m also happy they’re talking about it like this even though this talk is also just a publicity response, because other companies might see this and also do the right thing for the wrong (purely financial) reason.

    But this is also why corporations shouldn’t be people and should be barred from everything involving government and all that, if not abolished altogether.



  • This is definitely not the least effort. They could’ve not done the shading between the folds of the clothes, skipped the whorls and swirls on the shovel handle, all sorts of things.

    This just seems low-effort now because AI really did prefer this style, and stole it, but this took so much more effort than you’re giving them credit for.

    This is exactly why artists hate AI, it doesn’t undervalue their work directly, it gets real people like you to undervalue it. Don’t let AI determine your opinions so easily.














  • Definitely regional, there’s a preference for bigger dicks well before the romans, too.

    I dunno when “bigger dick = hornier” came about, but I know it was at least Greek. But then romans valued reserve, things in proportion. Sometimes they let loose but they felt there was a time and place, and a man who couldn’t control himself wouldn’t be favored, and a big dick meant exactly that. Impulse control, not a specific size preference.

    Its very interesting, honestly.
