Upvoting!

Wow, somehow I never came across that copypasta. Perhaps that’s a good thing, for the sake of my sanity?:-P

In the examples that you mentioned, I do agree. I suppose I should have added a caveat like I “usually” take the initiative to comment, except where it seems obvious so the response is not necessary or helpful for anyone.

(in comparison to others)

DDG seems fairly gentle about pushing it though.

This one also has a video that airplays WITH SOUND on Lemmy. :-(

Discuss.online is still going strong!:-)

Possibly either a respect for Halloween held by all those murderers, or officials covering up the actual date when things happened, the former seeming more likely.

Hrm… so Halloween is wholesome? :-P

Are you sure? Did you try counting the number of pieces of candy? I bet you got at least 6 to 7 pieces somewhere in there…

As a distraction from everything else he was doing at the time and would do in the future?

At some point we really should just stop asking why, especially if we don’t want to know the answer 🥴

I misread you at first so here’s an answer to if someone uses AI art:

Within the jokingly limited sphere of the discussion… “yes”? Particularly their artistic ability in that situation is being put to death slowly as whatever little they might have attempted without access to the tool will now not be attempted at all.

I don’t know as much about if someone were to commission art from an actual person.

We could bomb / kill people before. We could propel arrows / spears / sling rocks at people before. All of which is an extension of walking over and punching someone.

Though sending a nuke from orbit on the other side of the planet by pressing a couple buttons does seem like the extension is so vast that it may qualify as “new”.

I suppose any technology that can be used can be misused.

When technology allows us to do something that we could not before - like cross an ocean or fly through the sky a distance that would previously have taken years and many people dying during the journey, or save lives - then it unquestionably offers a benefit.

But when it simply eases some task, like using a car rather than horse to travel, and requires discipline to integrate into our lives in a balanced manner, then it becomes a source of potential danger that we would allow ourselves to misuse it.

Even agriculture, which allows those to eat who put forth no effort into making the food grow, or even in preparing it for consumption.

This is what CEOs are pushing on us, because for one number must go up, but also genuinely many believe they want what it has to offer, not quite having thought through what it would mean if they got it (or more to the point others did, empathy not being their strongest attribute).

Everyone who uses AI is slowly committing suicide, check ✅
