        A ton of good people are working tirelessly to prevent it and make the world a better place. This common shit take isn’t helping, it enables bad people to do as they please and shows bad character (or lack of education, one of those two).

          They should stop wasting their time.

          I’m not trying to help.

          Money enables people to do as they please. That you don’t know that shows your bad character (or lack of education, one of those two).

            Go ahead and be a pessimist all you like. No need to embroil others in your misery. Honestly if you really don’t care then why toss shit at someone about their character, as if you’re some paragon of virtue? Pick a fucking lane and stick to it.

            How does not knowing that people use money to bulldoze others’ desires show a lack of character? It looks like you got offended because you’re the main character, so of course you’re a good person and you don’t do this, so it’s dumb and nobody should.

        It’s not a binary switch

        Theres a big difference between some climate change (which we can no longer prevent), and a lot of climate change.

        I don’t think we’ll get to have much fun if we’re dealing with mass migrations and a collapse of food systems. Not saying generative AI use alone will push us to that point, but this attitude of defeatism will

          Nah, my attitude is fine.

          There are so many things in the world that are going wrong and are going wrong since a long time, saying my attitude is the problem is laughable.

          Playing monopoly with people who cheat, have more resources then you, are able to change the rules, already own a bunch of streets, etc. and then saying “I stop playing” is a rational thing to do.

          I don’t believe that things will change before things get much worse so nobody can deny the facts anymore that those systems eat themselves.

          So until then I spend my time having fun.
