The Amish are modern day fools who reject this very thing we are on. I still say if you are so ardent to defend them you should abide by their rules and log off.

Your fake quote was a zing straight to my core. I’m not sure I will ever recover.

We will not agree here.

    This is what pissed me off about the whole attack on the Saudi comedian group.

    There is effectively no difference between working for Saudi government or working for billionaires in a venue like Gillette stadium.

    None whatsoever. The only difference is that American slavery and murders are offshored to brown folks out of sight instead of in your face like Saudi.

    I fixed it to correctly compare it to the Amish. Who are just against all use of technology beyond a point.

    Linus is very obviously talking about the worker using a tool.

    Y’all found a fake pedantic win and rushed me on it because winning is more important than conversations. Kudos on that.

    Yeah that’s a great reply if you were trying to competitively comment but 99.9% of the online discourse against ai is completely against it. Including most of the discourse on this post.

    Luddite is not the correct term. These folks are more dogmatic against Ai while Linus is literally talking about workers using it as a tool to make their work easier.

    Very interesting. Great knowledge, thank you. I guess I’ll have to revert to calling it being like the Amish.

    Linus is talking about the worker using the technology. He likens it to other tools used in his trade. I don’t see him arguing about who should see the profits from the technology.

    I think being dogmatic about strictly not using AI is not empowering the workers who would benefit from utilizing the tool in the correct context.

    That’s weird, I didn’t see anyone approving of those things in the original posted text and I definitely didn’t imply any of that with my comment.

    Unless I was mistaken this was about Linus saying that using ai is akin to using any other tool.

    Actually with some thought, you’ve convinced me.

    Hell the printing press is being used by our oppressors to kill the earth. I will be deleting my account and from here on out I will only communicate and read through hand written notes.

    The misconception is with what these pages are. They are not public forums. They are the personally dictated and directed blog of the moderators, they allow the public to contribute but have final say on publishing.

    Once you realize these are ignorant kids blogs it makes sense that you would get banned for trying to have a discussion instead of perpetuating whatever world view they are trying to spew.
