  1. @ulveon So now that that is out of the way :blobcatgooglyheadache:​

    Welp... how do we define what is not about human rights then? It seems like genAI (and in particular, chatbots and other agentic AI) conflicts with our ability not to depend on them and their providers, might irreversibly hinder our cognitive capabilities almost immediately after first use, is a tool that overwhelmingly has more potential for job and value destruction than actual, sustainable construction, are produced and run with huge energy bills to the point that some people are already getting denied electricity at their homes, so on, so forth.

    I guess the only reason why we should be debating it is because impact is unclear. But if you think that we already went past that threshold, it makes sense to classify it as "not up for debate".

    And that's just one of the reasons why debate is so difficult. We do, in fact, have self-determination — fascists might not like it but then turn the other way around and insist on the concepts of "free will" and "freedom" because they know they want theirs to be the #objective #truth. Anyway. This means that each one is constantly, subjectively drawing their own lines. Why so? Because that self-determination, that inner will and interpretation of the world, is inherent to consciousness and self-preservation. We need to draw lines to understand and interact with the world, to feel safe and seek what we want and need. And that includes defining what we talk about and to which extent, and usually it's a huge mental toll for seemingly little to no benefit... I think you can agree about this one :baa:​

    And yeah, many factors include:

    • Tying your identity to friends, ideals, ideologies, etc., which in turns means that conceding on a point is risking your very sense of self, questioning what you have done with your life, your social relationships, how you cared for your children, etc.
    • This is furthermore entrenched with trust in one's cognition and trust in the outside world. Think of terms like "common sense", "reality" being "obvious", etc. What that depicts is vulnerability, someone relying on superficiality and authority to build everything else upon. That gets ROUGH.
    • Being vulnerable to abuse, with trauma hindering your ability to neutrally analyze a situation. You see a pattern and immediately run away from it. One, of course, needs to learn to grow from PTSD and get better at it, but it's still a hard process to get there. And there's no real echo chambers, but there is mutual reinforcement, which if unchecked, is an easy way to detach from reality and end up with something resembling psychosis (oh hey where have I heard of that one)
    • Just being a shit person. Wanting to dunk on others, #rekting the #soyboy #snowflake #woke #liberals with #facts #and #logic, treating bullying as a moral crusade, etcetc. This is where "the cruelty is the point" comes from.
    • And finally: not really caring and just following the trend. So basically, some just follow wherever social norms around them go (usually handed over top-down from hard power) and can change in a blink of an eye.

    Those are a lot of reasons, and most remarkably, they either involve the network effect, or extremely fundamental parts about people. It's understandable to want to give up. And in that regard, all I can say is that we're moving faster than ever, and while Planck's principle might be largely true, we're still seeing a huge generational uplift, with much more rational folks who have their empathy towards others and their priorities in life in a much better position.

    So change is very much still feasible.

    Just, more slowly than I wish it was.

  15. CW: NE Politics (Plant Based Meat, Jim Pillen)

    #Nebraska makes national #news for stupid bullshit.

    Put aside Jim Pigshit's reactionary, deregulatory, and pollution-causing policy, this "War on Fake meat" is idiotic for the future of NE.
    Not sure if Pillen (or the anti-soy right) know this... Nebraska is the #4 soybean producer.
    It's economically and politically dumb, but looking at Pillen's past, I would expect more pigshit for his hog voters.

  17. @kurtpankau eh, it has “not confident” connotations that metrosexual lacks imho. But the same people would use both as an insult.

  21. as a trans woman, I kinda want to reclaim #soyboy for us transfemme people. it's such a dumb insult that reveals so much about the psychology of insecure macho men, and it's fun to ironically suggest that soybeans turned me effeminate

  22. #Vegan canteen food:
    soy #goulash with mushrooms, leeks and a side of potatoes plus a small salad, 2,55 Euro in total, subsidized for students.
    I like!
