when people say "if I was in situation x" there is an implication that they are not currently in situation x. it looks a bit odd when you go for the attack from uncertain footing man, I'd feel bad for attacking back knowing that you've interpreted my words differently to how others would.
nah. life is all about adapting.
maybe i’m just not crying about it because im an immigrant from a 3rd world hellhole so all i and my family knows is how to adapt to do better. a handful of us in a sea of billions.
i’m going to take advantage of technology that is freely available in many cases to improve my standard of living because change is the only constant in life.
100 years ago Market St was covered in horse shit.
today it’s human shit (sad but true, but not really) but more so that there are cars, lime scooters, BART, etc.
I could talk about your logic being a valid method to justify arguably positive acts eg slavery, or that you did just cry about things by bringing them up, or how the amount paid for a subscription is both massively subsidized at the moment & cost prohibitive for those living in hellholes. weak arguments on their own tho, mostly I'm curious as to what's gonna happen when the big ai companies hit the end of their runway. will people be able to afford the true cost of their compute?
buddy i grew up in a hellhole where i didn't have running water and we had electricity maybe 3-4 times in the week, if that. we had kerosene lamps.
how the fuck am i, an individual who was already fucked by the system there, going to do anything?
life is unfair. i didn't choose to be born in shit conditions. i'm not going to die in shit conditions, that's for sure.
you and others like you can deal with the empathy part, weaponize it or whatever. that's your problem, not mine.
