Villain from ghost busters 2

One component is to stop building tools that exploit impressionable minds.

They exploit all minds. But adults can make that choice responsibly. Kids cannot. We age gate alcohol and cigarettes. Social media is no different.

That's called cynicism

Firefly?

You can't keep marginalizing people and expecting stability.

Here's your canary.

> You can't keep marginalizing people and expecting stability.

People who shoot someone or throw bombs at someone even though that someone never did something against them, should be marginalized. In prison.

I think the point is that there's going to be an increasingly large percentage of the populace who think that the AI bosses / billionaire class did indeed do something against them.

This has always been the case, hasn't it? There have always been groups of people who perceive technology change as a negative, or they are in fact negatively impacted.

But they didn't ask the rest of us if we're ok for them to murder someone on our behalf.

Personally I hope that AI will be a step change for the positive. I think it is inevitable that it will progress form here, in the darwinian sense, that someone else on this thread mentioned.

With that in mind, we should all be pushing for it to be used to our benefit, rather than detriment. And like almost all technological advances in the past, I think this can happen.

So if people are saying violence against Sam Altman is expected, then they're also saying violence against me is expected, because I am hopeful and vaguely supportive of the technology. That's quite scary.

The last time we had a serious labor movement in the US, which made enormous progress towards dignity for workers, it involved guns and bombs.

Okay

> <...> even though that someone never did something against them, <...>

Many tech billionaires openly, publicly and loudly said something among the lines: "I/we/my company/tech-bros are building torment nexus - it will take your job and/or kill people and/or shut up political opponents. You are powerless to stop this."

There are some of those billionaires willing to put their name and face in front of billions of people in the world. You will have no trouble finding people that will think that X or Y tech bro is personally responsible for some poor persons problems.

Especially when there's a bunch of news like "layoffs due to AI", "record investments due to AI", etc.

I am not supporting violence, never done it and never considered it. Though not surprising when talking heads of political/economical extremes can get threats from people that have nothing to lose.

Antymony with DRY

Probably the second rewrite is really tight with good abstractions and little repetition.

So no, the end result can still be DRY.

Most shooters are an abstraction, i.e. you're not really shooting anyone.

You are, but you're not.

Most of them are in the same league of violence that an aggressive debate would be in.

Which is really sad. Video games with dehumanized violence: a-ok. Video games that show you the actual consequences of violence, well that is a bridge too far.

Perhaps soiety would be better if it was reversed.

Random an combative

I would like to evolve beyond the archaic notions of nationalism.

The idea that you can mark a map and define property and consolidate identities to property is so anti-human.

If you embrace humanity then you should also reject the premise that there is any Other humanity.

It's historically supremacist.

This is ignoring the concept of "cultures" entirely. Other cultures are not the same as mine. They do not hold the same values, morals, beliefs or language. These are all important for societies to function.

Societies that are split along these lines are doomed to fail. Take a simple example of a new neighbor moving next door to you. If they don't speak the same language, do you think you'll form much of a relationship? Possible, yes, but more likely no. Now add religion, tradition, etc into the mix.
