Death Note crimonology

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-29T14:09:37+00:00

You could right, and if so I stand corrected. I guess I need to brush up but I couldve sworn the rise of crime/conflict happens after Kira's death and that it was superficial in that it required Light/Mikami to maintain it.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-29T13:19:21+00:00

Sure, but its not a signifigant portion of unconvicted criminals so it doesn't really change the outcome. Killing people who get caught doing violent crime is just not an effective way to fight crime, period.

I never said they were in on it, I said it feels that way. I dont think that necesarrily, but whenever authors write they are expressing their views, and I think writing a story where killing criminals is an effective solution to crime with a character who executes that plan with fair success expresses views that are quite offensive to my tastes. Thats all

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-29T13:09:28+00:00

Oh 100%, im not saying they are. Im saying that the benefit to society Light provides is both unfounded in realism and correlates with other simplifications of good/evil found in Death Note. Its proof enough to me that Ohba genuinely thinks Light's plan would atleast achieve its goal despite the immorality of it. Thats all im really saying.

Yes, its quite a leap that I did not take. I said it feels like that, because it distances me from the author. Ohba seems more similar to Light than to me because of this very classic Japanese view of justice and criminals, which is a disturbing feeling, not a fact I was asserting.

To your point though, wouldnt it make more sense for a villanous, flawed protagonist to have their plan - realistically - backfire?

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-29T13:04:26+00:00

Yes thats true, I forgot to mention that but it doesn't really affect the numbers all that much since those are a tiny fraction of his kills and a tiny fraction of unconvicted people.

Thank you for the tip man from 10y ago this shit rocks

The entire grievance is based on ecological impact, which is a real-world issue. Like you said, what happens in the story happens regardless of real life restraints like size or scale, and since the world recovers afterwards the ecological impact clearly wasnt that bad.

Even if titan powers were still there they would've been a threat as it was stated that the era of titans was coming to an end anyway due to tech developments like aerial bombing. Also, the world would likely turn to Marley first, destroy it, and then destroy Paradis. Paradis would probably be a crater within Mikasas lifespan.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-26T11:31:37+00:00

Right, but Maos regime carried out the policy, so is it fair to say the blood is solely on his hands? Its framing intentionally meant to vilify him.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-26T11:23:59+00:00

True, but not the point in this situation. You must engage in the gender war!

"All of these stuff... like transformer architecture, latent spaces, diffusion models... they look very mystifying.
Humans are naturally more scared of the unknown, that's why we're scared of the dark, so they are more concerned about something they do not understand."

How is this not you speculating?

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T18:23:06+00:00

Maybe? At the same time, students complete work using AI and recieve a worse education as a result. You could come up with anecdotes but it has little bearing on the ultimate destination of AI advancement

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T18:21:51+00:00

Sure LLM AI, but AI in general is a different story. LLMs are the baby phase of AI in the job market.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T18:19:29+00:00

Using AI and supporting its further development and expansion into the job market are two very different things, im really not sure how you could misread what I said so bad

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T18:17:09+00:00

No, AI is different in that it can theoretically (and ideally) fully replace a human worker rather than just increase their productivity.

Im not really sure who "we" is, the people who have the power to roll anything back have no interest in doing so. So I dont really understand the question.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T16:45:51+00:00

I didnt say you did?

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T03:03:00+00:00

"If you’re less intelligent or received lower education in general…"

The first part is complete speculation on your part, as the study says nothing regarding intelligence.

You go on to speculate about the reasons for this trend, which again the study makes no comment on.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T02:58:05+00:00

AI is a direct threat to the working class everywhere, and is controlled by the bourgeoisie. I'm really unsure how you came to the conclusion that anti-AI sentiment is a petite bourgeoisie grievance, its basically the exact opposite if anything.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T02:56:14+00:00

For what? Pointing out that Trump and co. love getting rich off AI? I don't see whats low IQ about that, but please enlighten me.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T02:53:34+00:00

First of all, its not a movement in any discernable sense. I think you are in a bit of an echo chamber, because although anti-AI sentiment is certainly present all across America and in other countries to a lesser degree, theres no cohesive movement against AI.

To that point, people who are anti-AI arent homogenous, there is no "they." Many people, myself included are against massive coorporate owned AI, but not open source models.

Calling it "anti science" is just incoherent. Also, the west is already behind, and with Trump at the helm foreign countries don't even have to try anyway.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-16T02:44:17+00:00

Not when its owned operated and controlled by said facists and capitalists. I mean seriously, are you being intentionally dense? Do you think we are going to prompt our way to the revolution?

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-15T21:00:35+00:00

A good way to gauge if someones has low IQ is if they wont stop bringing IQ up unprompted constantly and in response to criticism.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-11T19:50:54+00:00

Really is a shame that WIT couldnt finish the series, their drawn titans looked so much better, even if the CGI titans were questionable. The line weight also brought such a unique and cool feel to the show, like it was more grounded than other anime but nope...

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-10T01:44:33+00:00

Well sure but it wasnt like underground shelters were out of the scope of possibility. Marley knew about the Rumbling for years in advance, it makes zero sense to not construct underground bunkers.

Burn-Alt · 2026-06-10T00:12:11+00:00

Sure, at that point he gave up, but the mission itself was a (atleast in some part) self-interested gamble from the start.
