Lots of people give a shit, they're just not in any sort of position to do anything about it.
We won't treat climate change seriously until we get a significant climate related mass casualty event in North America.
As soon as the gulf streams collapse I think a few more of us may start giving a shit.
Giving a shit about the horse barn after someone's already let out all the horses doesn't really make a difference.
Have you met humanity??
Yep. We suck. I'm reminded of it every day.
Nah, there were some people worried about it, but it won't happen.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_Stream
So what you're saying is that it's fine?
*The AMOC. The Gulf Stream can't really collapse.
At the point it's too late.
I think that was the point they were making.
Hey now. Rule one of this community is "Be civil - Attack the argument, not the person." What does any of this genocide stuff have to do with the argument being discussed here?
The discussion here? Nothing. The person trying to have a discussion with me? Everything. Because yesterday, he said that I support genocide both due to the fact that I will do anything to keep Trump out of office to save my queer daughter's life and due the the fact that I exist. And now he wants to chat with me as if he never said that.
No one did anything about it in this community when he said those things. And, believe it or not, the topic of discussion was not genocide.
Why should I let someone who was that hateful towards me act like nothing was ever said a day later?
I'm with you on this 100% and not just because my own queer daughter's life is on the line.
If we are gonna play the 'be civil' card, play it on everyone. Certainly don't overlook people accusing others of genocide. You'd think that didn't need to be said but shrug
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Because it's against the sub's rules to attack him personally.
Why not block him? You'll never see him again.
He attacked me personally repeatedly and nothing was done. Why is he being held to a different standard?
I'm not holding him to a different standard. I wasn't in whatever fight you and he might have had, I don't know what community it happened in.
You seem to be holding both him and yourself to a different standard since you just made a personal attack.
And it happened in this community. You could have asked which community.
Where did I make a personal attack? The comment where you explicitly asked for examples of you being anti-AI?
And you're slinging personal attacks against both of us, so if "holding people to different standards" is such a big deal, well...
I didn't ask because it didn't matter. I wasn't present, I have no idea what you guys were arguing about and I don't care. The point is that you suddenly brought that argument in here, where it's a complete non-sequitur and not relevant to the subject at hand. And you're certainly not being civil about it.
Bros a troll, just block, report, and move on.
Right here:
Because that is a false accusation intended to make me look bad. And you know it.
You literally asked for that. What a wonderful catch-22 you set up; if nobody responded with the evidence you demanded you could claim people were lying about you, and if they provided it you can claim they're launching personal attacks.
Rereading that previous thread, I see you were quick to accuse me of issuing personal attacks there too. Seems to be a common theme.
Anyway. Is there anything more to discuss here about the actual topic of this thread, the energy usage of ChatGPT?
I literally asked for you to lie in order to make me look bad by claiming I said people could burn a car if they were pissed off?
I'm pretty sure I didn't say either thing.
And yes I did accuse you of making personal attacks then. Because you were making them then and you're making them now.

And you responded:
So I demonstrated.
There's no need to screenshot one specific quote and present it with no context, I provided a link to the whole thread.
The only thing you demonstrated was that you lied. And you provided the link to prove it.
The first statement was, as I have demonstrated, a lie. The second statement was, as I said, dishonest, because it was a group decision, not a unilateral one, and had nothing to do with hating AI in general.
So no, you have not shown that to be in any way true. All you have shown is that you are a highly dishonest person who makes scurrilous accusations in order to harm someone's reputation.
Badly.
That's not the comment I was referring to. Here's a direct link, where you said:
Yep, still lying.
I didn't say-
I said:
But it is pretty amusing that you pasted a quote yourself that proves what you said was a lie. Maybe you should have cut off that second part to make the lie more convincing.
If you think the decision on who to vote for in the 2024 US Presidential election is morally black and white, and that the genocide of Palestinians is by far the most important issue, then we lack a common basis for any worthwhile discussion.
Everything I have heard from you and others who bring up the same talking points suggests that is precisely the case.
Man, fuck this fence-sitting purity culture. Get that fence post out of your ass.
Which fence am I sitting on?
Both sides bad.
Well good thing for me I live in Canada and don't have to sit on the fence. I can say for sure that both sides are bad. How many billions of dollars has Biden sent to bomb more brown kids in Gaza?
