no, i definitely do.

copyright is the opposite of freedom of speech. any other interpretation is just bending the truth. what is copyright other than putting a monetary value on data and information as if it were a commodity that can be bought, sold, and owned?

how the fuck is that not directly antithetical to freedom of information? freedom of speech and freedom of information are the same ideas, or at least any true proponent of free speech is a proponent of freedom of information. ig except dense fucking westoids who can’t seem to grasp basic logical concepts.

no, i just think i don’t like dealing with idiots like yourself who’s perogotive is to abscond anything you read that makes you feel any cognitive dissonance.

i have nothing good to say to those who can’t engage in good-faith discussion, like yourself. you’re part of the problem with the world nowadays.

um yes? because it’s the truth? do some research before posting man. even if you were alive back then that doesn’t mean you knew wtf was up everywhere in the country with every demographic.

apologies for reddit as a source but full time wage in 1974 for mcdonald’s was, coupled with aid like the GI program, absolutely more than enough capital to buy a family home. don’t spread misinformation. remember what was stolen, or for some never even given.

sure.

greenland is historically and definitely a part of denmark. then again, the sudetenland was definitely a part of bohemia/czechia.

the united states is in a position to undertake an imperial conquest. i won’t claim any veracity for how long they might be able to hold on to any gains made, but they can make gains. i see a lot of people who live in places that are in the warpath of the trump party wanting to reject this idea online, sometimes out of ignorance, sometimes out of pride, sometimes for other reasons. the fact of the matter is that what the neofascist movement has been able to wrestle control of is the single largest, deadliest, and most effective military in the history of the earth. this isn’t american nationalism, it’s a rational analysis of the situation. most strategic flukes (eg, withdrawal from afghanistan) in america’s recent history have nothing to do with the military’s intrinsic capabilities; it has everything to do with american inexperience in the practice of imperialism. the military itself is actually like, incredibly fucking competent

the only other power on earth of any similar degree is china. china has essentially engaged in a neocolonial economic conquest of africa over the course of the 21st century, reasserting historical norms of chinese preeminence over global affairs. do you really think they will be any better than the americans? no. they seek blood and iron as well.

europe is not in a position to defend itself from america right now. i hope europeans realize this and vote in their own best interest to readily establish a pan european army as soon as possible. i know this is a controversial subject over there. but, this is the reality we live in.

i understand and agree with this in the society we live in.

but, not to be a contrarian, i think if we didn’t live in such a commoditized society the practice of training LLMs on large swaths of data wouldn’t be viewed so negatively. it only seems wrong to “steal” people’s work because they have to make a living on the idiotic notion of “owning” their art, ideas, and research. if we did away with this, then we could grow up and share everything

i’m not religious. but in many faiths, there is a story analogous to the abrahamic story of the tower of babel. i won’t recount it here, but i will say, classical interpretation is that god strikes man down, confusing our languages, as a direct result of his pride or hubris for daring to attempt to approach the divine. if you ask me, it seems like this interpretation is copium. why would we need to be delimited if it wasn’t the case that when we work in unity as a monad, humanity approaches the omnipotent power of the heavens? seems to me it’s almost like the division of man was done in these stories out of a fear over what we could do if only we all worked together.

now, fairy tales aren’t real. but we tell stories to learn lessons about the world. there is significance that out of the infinite stories that could be, we chose to pass this one down

the problem with the fascists’ imperialist ideas of conquest is that they are all based on kernels of truth, it’s how they appeal to their base.

attack them there, not in the space of rational discourse in which they are advantaged. they hold no respect for reality or the truth.

why does it matter?

lmfao the fucking 1984 doublespeak shit that lets these fucks edge their way into normalcy shouldn’t be tolerated. he did a roman solute full stop. why is this even something that people entertain debating?

act like they’re the stupid fucking idiots they are so they go crawling back into the depths of hell in shame, where they came from

i hate how brainwashed westerners are. will go on a diatribe about the importance of free speech and then rabidly defend copyright as if it isn’t directly contrary to the idea of freedom of information, all in the same breath.

inb4 that’s a description of every reply to this comment.

i mean, i don’t disagree with anything you’ve said except the rhetoric that it is an unchangeable constant.

sure, this is all true. beating the idea that it’s an inescapable reality into american’s heads online sure isn’t going to help change it tho. these people are still people, just like you.

my only disagreement is that unfortunately they’ve succeeded in pushing the overton window so hard that the ratio is actually much more controversial than the comment implies. if only every edgelord here read and seriously considered this person’s reply.

nope. i know what i said and i meant it.

they start like this. then they become shitty, abusive incels in adulthood. then they vote for people like the cadre of neofascist in western politics rn.

the incel to fascist pipeline is real and dangerous. and i won’t act like those who fall down it are victims and not complicit monsters anymore.

this is a fair point, i don’t disagree. it’s valid to call me out on conflating ideas of common decency with absolute morality.

that said, there are certain things that if you do; definitely make you a bad person. i think to the recently viral tweet of the ivy league ethics & philosophy professor who was absolutely aghast at incoming students’ ideas of morality. it speaks to the problem in this thread.

no actually, i’m done sitting and acting like that sort of shit is acceptable, no thanks.

paradox of tolerance demands you completely and decisively shut these fucks down before they takeover your society with their shitty ass rhetoric of hate. i’d rather it begin and end here on a dinky little internet forum than 15 years down the line in another gettysburg. i won’t aid and abet in the breakdown of common norms and decency, as you so kindly suggested.

lmfao what a fucking excuse of a reason. i hope you know i hate you. not hyperbole. i hope everyone else knows i hate you too. like genuinely, and actually; blatantly being a terrible person like you are is a large part of what is wrong with the world and i despise every single one of you chucklefucks that inches us ever further away from common decency, day by day. life isnt some fucking game.

do you recognize you’re doing olympic level mental gymnastics throughout these comments in order to make the people you identify with in the internet story the good guys or are you just incredibly dense and/or like fucking with people for kicks?

seriously jesus fucking christ what about this in particular is making it such a good litmus test to root out shitty people? they’re all just immediately, unironically, unabashedly identifying themselves in the comments here, just like that lmfao.

absolute trash is absolute trash ig.

damn fuck you guys ig lmao.

dunno why you’re both getting downvoted for merely expressing you liked the windows phone.

that’s like, the typical opinion; especially at the time.

i’m an edgelord so nick drake

and you base that expectation on what?

hopes and dreams?

The reason humans and ants differ so much in morality is because of the difference in the subjective experience of being a person versus being an ant.

this is predicated on a false assumption. you don’t know ants and humans experience different subjective experiences, you just strongly suspect it. knowing =/= suspecting. which is why you follow this illogic down to an incorrect conclusion of your “expectation.”

the greatest challenge of our age is dispelling the victorian myth that knowledge of the real world is untouchable to us. the distinction between you and other does exist, but we are not locked out of the world. we can deduce real facts about things outside our perception.

the regress problem states that all human knowledge is axiomatic. this is a big ol nothing-burger of a refutation, it is true for literally every single possible proposition.

asking him to overcome this problem is so fucking far outside the scope of what you’re arguing about as to be ridiculous, you look silly.
