        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).

            Actively discouraging people from caring about saving the world, and then having the nerve to call out “bad character”, just wow.

            I understand giving up, I just dont understand why one would actively bring down others still trying.

            Someone here is showing bad character, and it isnt the one you called out for it…

              Saving the world xD

              Yeah, people on here are surely saving the world with the downvotes and screeching at everything that doesn’t align with their views.

              This isn’t about saving the world this is all about the ego of keyboard warriors who are thinkn in Bad or good as if this is a movie.

              How are these peoples supposed to “save the world” if they have a meltdown just reading a different opinion? :D

                The meltdowns are all in your head, I just see disagreement.

                The whole bad vs good thing you just pulled out of your arse too. You are not being called out for being disillusioned, I think many can relate, you are being called out for also being a dick about it.

            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.

              I’m not miserable, quite the opposite. And I have the right to share my opinion as everybody else.

              And why paragon of virtue? I just repeated their accusation back at them to show how ridiculous it is to couple the evaluation of character to one thing.

              But as it seems most people on here are fine with ignoring the complexity of a person.

              I don’t owe you consistency :D

            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 crazy how you people argue about strawman all the time. You just start imaging a person and then start to talk about your fantasy as if it is real.

              Why do you do that?

                I said it looks like that- if it’s not that, please tell me what it is. I also didn’t argue with it. Now it feels like you’re imagining that other internet users are a hive mind that acts the same for a common goal. Maybe you’re not and I’m just misinterpreting your words though ;)

                I commented in the suspicion that you were rationalizing your behavior out of sour grapes and in the hope that you’d realize it and stop discouraging others from trying to fix things, as well as the hope that others reading wouldn’t begin to follow your lead. I can’t tell you why anyone else commented though.

        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.

    I think the HR departments of nearly everywhere that I’ve worked could be replaced with last year’s, discount LLM models and things would improve.
