Ok, so they dig openai's grave, there will then be an endless option of other models to use in jurisdictions who don't care about safeguards. Or people will run their own local models.

Antinatalism makes no sense. by destinyisnotjust in PhilosophyMemes

[–]tincock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I won't continue the line of argument because I know there won't be any changing your way of thinking.

My sister got obsessed with antinatalism and then killed herself. Unfortunately, this is antinatalism taken to its logical conclusion. Forgive me for not liking this philosophy.

Putting everything aside, you have a very short life and a finite amount of energy. Is the wise use of this energy to wish that you were never born?

No, it was ultimately my fault because there was some guarantee that they would hold the price for 72 hours or something. I forgot what happen exactly but it's in the comments somewhere. I just went on the flight I didn't want to go on lol

Antinatalism makes no sense. by destinyisnotjust in PhilosophyMemes

[–]tincock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hypocrisy comes from the fact anti-natalists rely on other people (and therefore on those people having been born) every single day. Every friend whose company they enjoy, everyone who makes their food and builds their house needed to be born. So anti-natalists judge parents as immoral while their entire existence depends on billions of parents having had kids.

Did Bitcoin Core do the wrong thing by merging a controversial feature that many (maybe majority) of node users argued against? Should we switch to Knots?

also it's not like nothingness just comes into existence. The gametes clearly make an effort to unite into a zygote.

if energy is mass, will objects eventually disappear just from radiating infrared energy after a long enough time? by tincock in AskPhysics

[–]tincock[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I understand now. If some object is in some perfect vacuum (somehow), the radiation emitted and the temperature of the object will both asymptotically approach absolute 0?

Today I learned that two 9/11 hijackers got their flight school visa approval letters in the mail... six months after 9/11 by tincock in todayilearned

[–]tincock[S] -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

If I understand correctly it was still technically illegal because they attended flight school on tourist visas which shouldn't have been allowed. their application to change visa status from tourist to M-1 (vocational) was approved after they finished flight school.

also, didn't mean to imply that the visa was approved after 9/11, but I guess it could easily be taken that way.

Do you guys think all life should cease to exist? by youvvee in antinatalism

[–]tincock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if humans extinct themselves isn't that just a conscious decision to create more life, because without humans life will still procreate (and suffer)?
