You’re talking to me like I haven’t been through decades of disappointment and in other areas. Me cutting things off is the last straw and thing I can readily do. Be it someone who says “welfare queens should die” to AI used for media. I know you cannot rightfully get away from supporting Amazon or that you have a choice of a soulless, big box store to buy at anymore. Just because I have to do so to maintain my ability to live doesn’t mean I won’t try to inform others about it and get them on my side. I’m just less patient with supreme levels of bullshit anymore.

I don’t think the typical person knows how destructive AI is to many things much less effects on local communities where they put data centers.

We’ve seen this before with horse armor and gambling in video games. If you allow a little they are going to take a mile with it. That point I don’t consider it art anymore. AI is not art.

If that’s the case I’ll find another hobby. I’m tired of compromising myself because well they get away with it. AI Bros can blow me.

No AI in video games, period. We’ve learned when we draw the line the major players push at it until they get what they want. AI benefits the wealthy, no one else. AI data centers are a blight on communities.

Studying all that is cheaper than therapy. Trust me, if I could afford the financial commitment I’d go again.

I actually looked into migrating a bit under Bush and they were more lax then. It was at least a year waiting list, you often had to have a marketable skill of some sort in demand in the country or enough money to basically never work again there. You had to have a clean record, pay several thousand for paperwork and lawyers, wait for approval, some wanted you to try and find employment before hand. It’s probably much stricter no as I doubt I could immigrate to Canada from the USA. They’re looking primarily for healthcare workers now and a lot of places because of their aging populations and lower birth rates. It’s nuts.

Good luck getting either party to do so with the amount of corporate money thrown their way. :/ You might be able to shout at the Dems to do something but it’ll be a half measure of allowing an opt out system.

I called a terrible IT person for suggesting not connecting smart TVs to the network as a simple means of by passing the issue with their updates and invasion of privacy. I think it’d be easier to do that and hook up an old computer for streaming from.

It’s probably just as bad because we see more Republicans get outed as kid diddlers than anyone else.

For the rest of the world it’s a smart idea, who would want self proclaimed domestic terrorists into their country?
