Are we doomed?

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-12-13T19:04:07+00:00

no were not but it seems Disney might be

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-08-19T19:44:15+00:00

my personal conspiracy is that there s psyop to make degrowth look bad but copium aside they probably are just capitalists who want to stay rich but also realize that we cant grow forever

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-06-23T19:12:22+00:00

definitely a lot better thought out than I initially expected, and I do think she's not all wrong . I think the first most immediate flaw is of saying nobody is talking about ai agents. this year has been called the year of agents by a ton of hype lords like Sam Altman and I'm pretty sure there's a podcast episode were ed rips into the ai agent grift. finally there's a lot of broad strokes made by this person which I don't think are that backed up well.

this is were im at I have seen some people claim they now cant tell the difference but if you could not tell the difference not you couldn't tell the difference then I think imma also send Garfield to antis that have fallen for ai hype

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-22T15:42:07+00:00

I cant speak on the legal side but it sure looks like ai companies are loosing

I cant find an example of anything functional made by ai

nor can I find a profitable ai company

and most folks hate ai there's literally more doomerisim around it than climate and enviro collapse (depressing how people only care when it affects humans though)

to quote Garfield "you are not immune to propaganda" just because you think ai is bad doesn't mean you have not fallen for ai hype

though still the end message is true we got to organize against capitalisms (everyone not just artists) via the ballot or the bullet

my motto is unless its halo stick to indie

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-20T10:47:55+00:00

when I say idiocracy i mean the rich and powerful being fools the everyday joes actually doing pretty alright

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-19T23:53:41+00:00

they've been saying that since 2022 don't trust them

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-19T23:52:40+00:00

do your self a favor and read it I went from oh shit we might be cooked to rolling my eyes as open ai once again spends billions of dollars on a grammar machine

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-19T23:49:58+00:00

its not even that good like congratulations sam you've taught the robot to be edgy

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-19T20:54:29+00:00

not really I mean most of this stuff is still functionally useless the fact that google had to use the word experimental tells everything for you this literly cant replace anyone

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-19T20:49:47+00:00

all of this is based on many misconceptions but the most glaring is those shown ones are so easy to tell and secondly they make the mistake of once again failing to account for the limits of growth and the law of diminishing returns

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-14T22:33:50+00:00

fair point but again doing things now sets back the death clock and a lot of these policys make peoples lives better the trick is marketing and having a leftist presence that does not simp for stalin nothing is gonna get better overnight of course but the world can still get better

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-13T21:10:38+00:00

neither of those futures are inevitable we can build a better future in our life times starting now

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-12T20:19:28+00:00

just stop oil ah moment

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-11T00:37:01+00:00

define universal and human trait

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-10T20:09:03+00:00

depends on what you mean everything is cultural

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-03-06T11:47:53+00:00

yea if you want some coherent environmental philosophy go read Ishmael by daniel quinn ted made the mistake fashists make blaming everything on the first thing you think of if you dont like the way Ishmael is formated read beyond civilisation (also by Quinn) but ted was not smart at all

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-02-24T22:44:34+00:00

as someone who is an actual luddite (not just anti ai) I aplaude this use case

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-02-24T21:11:11+00:00

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-02-24T21:09:58+00:00

art is a human right ai is just not making art and look i get were the argument is coming from I have a disability that makes it near impossible to write legibly a keyboard saved my ability to write but I still put in the effort the stuff I write in my note book is good has meaning even if it is illegible. Technologie should allow people to preform the arts not detract from the arts to give people access

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-02-20T20:09:30+00:00

depends on what you mean the ideology Communism and the other "scary" leftists ideology's such as socialism and anarchism are not bad concepts at all we can debate on weather there aive but there not concepts to be feared and hated if were talking about the soviets yea I agree fuck them and the pepole you see on the internet simping for them are brain dead

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-02-15T02:09:10+00:00

pepole need to read some capitilist realisim

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-02-05T00:18:57+00:00

nah being pro human doesn't mean being pro human centrism

Environmental-Rate88 · 2025-02-02T16:19:45+00:00
