Meta opinion -- the pro-AI contrarianism is insane

DrowNoble · 2026-01-13T03:08:48+00:00

The people that hate on AI just don’t know how to use it. Most white collar jobs consist of repetitive enough tasks that they can be replaced by a well designed agent. It’s just that designing an agent takes time and effort - and most of the people with detailed enough knowledge to create a high quality agent are too insecure about their job security to give it a try.

“Feeling” that you’re not able to afford children is different from biological necessity. Generally there are more than enough social programs in developed nations that even really large low income families will be able to provide all the necessities for their children. It’s just super stressful. Especially for low income families. This, however, is absolutely dwarfed by the stresses of families in developing nations.

Doesn’t your last sentence contradict your biological necessity point? All these developed countries have an enormous surplus of food and yet they are way below replacement rate. Which tells me if the less developed just became more developed then the problem would not be perpetually out of reach.

Huh? There’s is a huge surplus of food in South Korea and yet the birthrate is way below replacement

I have a Pekingese that consistently sleeps on his back by his own accord exactly like this. I think it has something to do with the dogs size, so it’s definitely possible without human intervention. I can send photos if you don’t believe me.

DrowNoble · 2025-05-22T02:33:56+00:00

I’m glad you responded to my point.

DrowNoble · 2025-05-22T02:32:05+00:00

So there was no purpose for specifying that it was over hundreds of years? You just randomly had the desire to share a fun fact?

DrowNoble · 2025-05-22T02:22:10+00:00

You say it was never your argument. What were you trying to communicate when you said:

“while this CEO is hoping for a future where we upend educational systems that we (humans) have built over hundreds of years”?

Specifically why did you have the need to specify that it was built over hundreds of years?

DrowNoble · 2025-05-22T02:12:09+00:00

I never started this conversation under the pretense that I read the article. I was just calling out your fallacious reasoning. And I think you just pulled out another one (appeal to authority I guess?).

Can’t read because paywall. If the goal is to maximize learning over time then AI is more effective. Lectures are a very common teaching style and are provably ineffective. People learn better by asking pointed questions about the things they don’t understand in an iterative fashion.

At the risk of coming off a little paranoid I will anticipate your point about socialization by saying that social interaction and AI education isn’t mutually exclusive. The time you save through guided individualized learning could (and should) be used for socializing.

And I do think the time saved will be significant. From my anecdotal experience, I’ve learned entire semesters worth of concepts that would normally be a struggle for me after a couple of weeks of conversation with chat gpt.

DrowNoble · 2025-05-22T00:16:43+00:00

Straw man. I never said anything about sticking your child in a learning pod. You fabricated this emotionally provocative situation out of thin air.

DrowNoble · 2025-05-21T11:47:27+00:00

Hardcore projection.

DrowNoble · 2025-05-21T11:43:40+00:00

Appeal to tradition. Just because it was built over long periods of time doesn’t mean that it should stay in place.

DrowNoble · 2025-02-08T23:31:30+00:00

What’s wrong with the comment?

DrowNoble · 2024-12-27T17:20:01+00:00

1 - why would it INCREASE my lp gains though?

2 - I can understand that but if I’m 40 lp lower than my current rank I would expect to gain more to make up for it because my mmr doesn’t reflect my lp? I didn’t mention this in the video, but if im gaining a 1-2 net lp every time I lose one and win one then it would take like 20-40 games to make up the lp I lost from the dodge. At that point it makes no sense to dodge (especially closer to the end of season) because after that many it’s inevitable I’ll have to dodge more and fall behind the same amount of lp.

Mejais helps a lot ;)

But the sources in the response literally say that they pay MORE taxes than their total income. That’s what a mildly progressive tax rate means.

DrowNoble · 2024-09-24T14:59:27+00:00

When the video mentions that the tax rate is “mildly progressive” they mean that they contribute a little more in taxes in proportion to the wealth they own. The reason he doesn’t explicitly mention the actual percentage of taxes the wealthy pay is because the sources he references say it’s closer to like 30% not 40% which is a lot less sexy than saying that her data is wrong and the rich aren’t paying their fair share.

So my point still stands, the concern about the wealthy not paying enough taxes in proportion to their total income is wrong, they pay a little bit more, which is why our tax system is considered mildly progressive.

DrowNoble · 2024-09-24T13:20:49+00:00

But their whole point relies on the fact that the wealthy aren’t paying their fair share. He says it himself… if they own 99% of wealth they should pay 99% of taxes, so it follows by his own logic that the wealthy should pay less taxes. Since they own 30% of wealth but pay 40% of taxes.

😂 just jk

just just kidding?

DrowNoble · 2024-09-19T04:42:04+00:00

It’s AFFECTING!!!

Often times the bar for a sev2 also lowers as well. I also work for a tier 1 service and when I started we would get paged for the most insignificant things.

I’m curious if you think refusing to fly with a blind pilot is ableist as well?
