You've completely missed my point. Art has massive value. You're the one who is so limited you only think in terms of commercial value. IP is wrong. It has no basis in reality. Art should only exist for the sake of itself, not it's resale value and people should not have to produce art to live. The way we construct our society where art has commercial value is perverse. You're right. We can't have a genuine discussion because we do not value human life equally. But I'm not the problem here
For the record I am an artist myself. I'm simply not disgusting enough to participate in such a vile system and call myself good. Either art exists to be shared and is owned by no one, or it exists for yourself and others "can't* take it. Anything else is unnatural abuse of your fellow man and using that abuse as your excuse to kill the poor is disgusting
Pretend we could have had an actual discussion all you want, you were never going to approach this subject with an open mind.
Oh absolutely! When we get rid of IP law he's got to go with it
Oh absolutely he's being disingenuous, but it doesn't make the idea outside of his goals wrong.
Only because you don't think big enough. The company that could "change their strategy to get around it" should be torn down with the IP law. Art shouldn't be a part of this discussion. Art shouldn't ever = food. Anyone trying to uphold a society where it does has already lost the plot
But people with tuberculosis in the third world would get to live. Decent trade off. No actually, the only good option. Anyone who even brings up art when discussing IP (much less defends it in the discussion) is a coddled narcissist with no perspective
No. Militant means aren't needed when no IP exists, especially when we use the same force we're discussing to enforce the "no IP" issue to enforce the "not trade secrets" rider that goes along with it. IP is a blight and are shouldn't be a job. The commercialization of art is forcing you to excuse millions of preventable deaths because you don't also want to address the issue that we allow people to work far longer per week than is natural or right. If you were still surviving on 20hrs of labor a week like all of humanity did pre capitalism, you wouldn't be bitching so much about your art being stolen because art would return to a leisure pursuit for you where it should be.
You're being fucked so hard you've completely lost sight of what's important and it's allowing you to justify genocide by withholding access to lifesaving drugs because you want to make money off a drawing
Don't care. Don't like what you created existing? Don't make it. You're using "but muh art" to prop up a system which is needlessly killing people by denying them access to information which would save their lives. Your art doesn't matter. The concept of IP is evil
Lololololololololol. No. Unless you have a massively expensive GPU, no. The image is not being generated by your device. It's being generated by a mile wide server bank that churns through petrochemicals like a city all on its own. That's the part of AI people are talking about when they reference it being bad for the environment. And if you do own a massively expensive GPU and generate AI images offline, you are not part of the conversation because your activities are an ounce in an ocean.
Are you suggesting we should feel bad about something here?
I mean... Russia would own Ukraine by year three of this war and wouldn't be using WW2 munitions if they were prepared and strong. There's something to be said about the Russian military preparedness
It's to make him look less round. He can look like a child or the obese old old man he is. Looking good isn't one of the options
We're talking about Republicans. having enough has never been a consideration to their greed
No one is losing anything. Faith in America is dead. Any lag we're experiencing is the time it takes to figure out the complexity of smoothly divesting from America. It's simply impossible to trust this won't happen again. You can't put it back in the bottle. The US is fucked
See, you have people like you all over saying "Linux just works" and then you have other users here saying "I have to spend an hour fixing my computer running one of the most user friendly distros every single time the power goes out". I don't know who to believe but both cannot be true simultaneously so which is it?
If you were in Thailand or China and you posted what you did, you're even more of a moron than I thought.
I reject your false framing. You're conflating society and the government in your question.
To answer the question I'm pretending you meant to ask: No, The government should not have the requisite monopoly of violence necessary to enforce speech laws. It is a human right. Any sanction should be exclusively received from society.
Yes. Actually go further, anyone who doesn't argue there is no innocent US president is disingenuous or a total idiot.
Abraham Lincoln's long term solution to race relations was genocide by relocation. He wanted another trail of tears to whiten the US, there was just a pesky war in the way. Freeing the slaves was a punishment for white people, not a benefit for black people. There is no "good" US president
A fungal infection most common amongst teenagers forced to wear sweaty unwashed clothes over and over again for gym and sports because the school system is somehow set up too stupidly to effectively deal with mildewy clothing in 2025
It can happen to anyone. It's just super common amongst teens because enforcing and facilitating hygiene for young men is the lowest priority in our society for some reason
Not op, but I'd think it's not that impressive. That's the case for all things, not just drinks or this is not a free pass to pound 15 Red bulls you animal
Except you can and projecting your beliefs onto others is the literal definition of society. You can't not project your beliefs onto others
We are not bystanders. All societies are negotiated both within them between members and between members and observers outside. The idea that anyone should forgo their opinion on another culture is naive and asinine. You're asking for all social exchange to stop in order to preserve an arbitrary set of rules in amber. The system you want to uphold as precious is both not real, and not valuable enough to justify the cost
Oh also, free speech is an inalienable right. In fact I'd go so far as to say learning it's inalienable is how you learned the word inalienable. Free speech is a human right. Anyone anywhere who is limiting it is commiting a crime against humanity. The opinion of the people in charge doesn't change that. That's literally how inalienable rights work. So, no fucking clue what you were on about there
Also also, if you were Canadian, what trouble could you possibly get in being critical of Thailand? You're either an insane coward or a liar for that one
Not being invested enough to engage isn't pathetic, it's the normal response. It's not pathetic to not be chronically online my dude
I don't doubt op has a stalker, but not commenting everywhere isn't what makes them pathetic. It's all the times when the stalker is engaging that are pathetic, not the times when they aren't
