I’ve talked with someone that argued that the concept of intellectual property is inherently capitalist, and therefore it taking the art and other works of people doesn’t matter in the grand scheme.

And I guess I see the point. I don’t agree with it, but I can’t argue that well against it.

Probably nobodies. The monster was never stitched up of corpse parts, more likely created from scratch using body parts as ingredients after being liquified

I’ve actually always been kinda bothered about people calling the daemon made of stitched together bodyparts.

It never says that in the book, and rather sounds like Frankenstein took some dead body parts, and created some material out of which he formed the body. He talked about creating the veins and muscles, you don’t have to do that if you just stitch him up

Also, he’s not necessarily described as handsome. He’s described as having beautiful hair, but that’s about it. He had yellow skin that barely covered his muscles, black lips and dull, empty eyes. I think most of his ugliness came not from individual features tho. I’d imagine the monster would fall heavily into the uncanny valley.

It’s so interesting that I’ve stumbled upon a Frankenstein thread, considering I’ve read the part about his creation literally yesterday when rereading the book

Is it because I referred to god as he? English isn’t my first language and occasionally, German grammar gets mixed in.

I feel like there’s no contradictions in my comments, tho please do tell me if there still are

No because that’d imply that God was a defined gender at any point

The economy going BOOM after the hype has settled

Isn’t it said that he made humans in his likeness? So I guess god could be a hermaphrodite as well

Honestly I’m happy that I don’t work for a Satire Site like the onion, cuz how tf are you gonna satirize that?

Satire is about taking current things to a ridiculous, and therefore funny, extreme. The current baseline is so ridiculous already, if you put that into the extreme it’s too far from reality to be somewhat relatable.

Satire is dead, and we killed it

Just give seats proportional to the votes a party got. So kinda like how most developed nations do it.

Would also dismantle your bullshit 2 party system

(Im not trying to defend the democratic systems in Europe, they still suck, but they’re a whole lot better than the US system)

Well, gotta make all the AI cost back somehow. Most people are too comfortable to actually change anything, so they’ll just pay more

Would visiting concerts count for that?

Holy shit. What even happened yesterday that so many companies’ stock is crashing? Quarterly reports?

There actually is

I don’t know a lot about Hasan, does he not believe in Revolution?

Wife bad, such an original joke

I’d say as long as you’re aware that people tend to get gullible, you probably aren’t.

Same as how someone genuinely believing they are dumb means they aren’t truly dumb, because a dumb person wouldn’t ever realize that

Honestly I’m leaning more and more towards advocating for people to use AI responsibly instead of outright rejecting it.

Yes the environmental impact is insane, but I feel like that’s mostly because they keep pushing it to do more and more. But I think we’re well past the sweet spot of what work AI should take off our shoulders. Remove too much and you end up with Meat Proxies.

Tho that only applies to things where only the result matters, like code. Pragmatic stuff, that’s there to serve a specific purpose.

Art is the exact opposite. The process matters, the struggles, the successes, the setbacks. It’s a thing of passion, and that can never be truly replaced by a machine.

Afaik thats also Linux Torvalds stance. It’s a tool, and it cannot be held responsible, that’s always on you

Honestly, I think it can be helpful for beginners if used in moderation.

I’m a complete beginner with programming, and yesterday was working on my home assistant to control both my AC and Radiator simultaneously. But I couldn’t get it to work, with the special climate entity always crashing. After i think 2 hours, I asked Gemini what was wrong, and it pointed out that I didn’t have a fallback value and that when starting up, the values were invalid, and caused the entity to crash. After I added a fallback, it worked.

I think AI can be useful if you treat it like asking someone more experienced like a teacher. It will make mistakes, but if you’re stuck it might be able to help you. I’m still writing my code myself, but I use Gemini as a last resort when I’ve spend over an hour on a problem and can’t figure it out myself.

Not that that applies to Linus, but I thought I’d also add some context from a beginner
