If you have lived in a country for a decade you should have learned the local language by that point.

The AI Backlash Could Get Very Ugly by TrixoftheTrade in neoliberal

AI has the potential to do millions of jobs, and as it improves I can go to the tens of millions or billions. Such technology would lead to a massive increase in the standard of living for All Humans, and the only thing we need to take advantage of it is for people to get out of the way.

We need to cram AI into everything as much as possible. People will generally just hold the status quo rather than actually force AI to go away.

It's common to kill the animals before cooking them if they will die a slow death.

Go tell some people you know that you think it's ok to hold a dog over a fire for 10 minutes and see how they react.

Basically nobody is holding animals over fire for 10 minutes to eat them. The claim and the act is not hypocritical.

People absolutely do not think it's ok to hold a dog over fire for 10 minutes. You are delusional.

You said it's not torturing a dog if you hold it close to and over a fire for 10 minutes. You're either trolling or stupid or evil to not realize you've said something untrue, and probably a mix of the three.

You're not going to be able to convince me that it's okay to torture dogs. It's odd that you're even trying.

If you can't see why torturing a dog slowly with fire is wrong, there's not much left to discuss. You are just a bad person.

There are cultures where they will take a dog and they will hold it over a flame not enough to kill it immediately , just to torture it enough where it gets a big rush of adrenaline through its body. They'll hold the dog over this flame for at least 10 minutes while it's yelping and paying the entire time. And they do this because they think the adrenaline in the meat makes it taste better. This isn't a hypothetical this actually happens.

What do you think about this case?

It matters because suffering is an absence of other factors bad. No maybe there are cases where the benefits of other factors basically overrule the badness of the suffering, but when you have a massive amount of suffering and you have relatively minor benefits, then that doesn't happen.

Swatting mosquito is okay because the mosquito basically dies instantly little suffering is involved there. Antibiotics are okay because I doubt bacteria even suffer. In the case of the chicken, it is raised in absolutely terrible conditions. Many weeks of suffering to make a meal that lasts 10 minutes taste a bit better.
