    posted it. Got dunked on for AI slop

    101 upvotes and 14 downvotes… dunked?

    Anyway, I stopped reading and downvoted after the

    Ipso facto, for all the AI “Akshually” pedants, I’ve tagged this as AIP. Politely go fuck yourselves :)

    typing the word “politely” or a smiley doesn’t make a very rude remark any less rude.

    Moreover, splitting the community into a pro-AI faction and an anti-AI one isn’t healthy (for the community, whether it’s healthy for you is a can of worms that I don’t want to open right here and now) and ridiculing the other “faction” can only radicalize things and we already have more than enough of that, both in lemmy and, sadly, also IRL.

    So, personally, I donwvoted your post, not your project.







  • IDK what makes Eric Bailey prefer a cooperative to a non-profit, the article doesn’t explain it.

    Unlike corporations, co-ops don’t have to be motivated by profit. Not needing to focus growth at all costs means co-ops can instead prioritize and incentivise things like preservation and cultivation. It is also a successful model of operation [links to a page titled “employee ownership”], one that even already exists and flourishes in the tech space [links to a page about a specific software consultancy coop that doesn’t publish a knowledge website].

    I might be jumping the gun here, but… it would seem he doesn’t really know what the point of a cooperative is?

    That’s way too tame… I fear it won’t attract 8M in funding.

    Jokes aside, the Christian commandments are quite lacking (insufficient) when it comes to contemporary morals… eg. there’s nothing forbidding discrimination or violence (short of homicide) or slavery or corruption or torture or neglicence etc. (and this is if one quite generously interprets “your neighbor” as “anybody else”, which is clearly not what the word means and which doesn’t explain why only some of the precepts have this “universal restriction”).

    I always find it weird when people cite the commandments as a moral compass without integrating them with (very much necessary) additional prescriptions.
