Well, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, as they say. Literally anything you buy, there could be a shareholder who is evil. But y’gotta vote with your wallet, and so it makes a bigger impact to boycott companies that are directly involved, rather than ambiguous or strenuous connections.

How is this response remotely relevant to the comment you’re responding to?

I see, but I am not right wing. I asked about an apparent contradiction I saw, and got a clear answer.

I’ve noticed that when I ask questions I tend to get downvotes, but when I make statements I tend to get upvotes. Is there an assumption not only that right wing people are ignorant, but that ignorant people are right wing? I don’t know how to become less ignorant without asking.

That’s why I asked. I didn’t know that.

Fair use means legally using a copyrighted material without requiring permission of the copyright holder. It does not mean you can redistribute in general, though some forms of redistribution are fair use, such as using an excerpt from a book in your essay.

Reverse engineering code is also fair use, but that doesn’t mean it’s fair use to share the code you’ve reversed.

That says reverse engineering is ok – not sharing RE’d code.

It does appear that democracy was subverted here, but how can it be said that the will of the people was overturned given that most people voted for the republicans?

I usually hear about Israel doing this.

What does “season 2” mean? Since when do games have seasons.

I don’t really see how the new agreement is any more restrictive than the previous one?

You’ve explained your personal opinion, and while I think it’s a sensible opinion, I was asking about the universal opinion on AI. And I don’t think there is a consensus that it’s bad. Like I don’t even understand how that’s controversial – everywhere you look, people are talking about AI in broadly mixed terms.

I think you’re mistaken – there are a large number of people who vehemently dislike it, why is probably why you think that.

You do realize the root of this thread was this question, right?

why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

In the early 20th century, Nazism was not a universally regarded negative.

I am aware of a lot of people who are very gung-ho about AI. I don’t know if anybody has actually tried to make a comprehensive survey about people’s disposition toward AI. I wouldn’t expect Lemmy to be representative.

Because we all loved morrowind…

why do you say AI is a universally regarded negative?

Edit: if you’re going to downvote me, can you explain why? I am not saying AI is a good thing here. I’m just asking for evidence that it’s universally disliked, i.e. there aren’t a lot of fans. It seems there are lots of people coming to the defense of AI in this thread, so it clearly isn’t universally disliked.

Here’s a poignant example IMO:

Will this realistically affect switch mods at all?

If they remove his other songs, his fans might gravitate to other platforms. This is why they don’t remove his other songs.
