- Comment on Donald Trump just shared an AI video to Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys 1 week ago:
Agreed! That is wild but yeah that makes sense all races have that dog in em lol. Especially ones that have experienced colonialism I feel. The Internet for real has done that. I dunno why people felt like they have to say slurs, but like I also feel like some people don’t really care to look beyond the surface and are very as long as it doesn’t affect me I dont care. Which truly pisses me off. General apathy just generally pisses me off. Like you can say use stats to say x group of people do more crime and end there or look into the underlying factors that lead to that and its just so lazy and uncurious.

To add to your point. So something I found interesting was about 20 years ago when I was a wee young lad, I was curious about racism, cause it seemed so alien to me how can you hate someone just cause of some physical attributes. I found myself in some dark corner of the internet where people were talking some vile shit about black and brown people, and it broke my brain, I think this was even before reddit or 4chan. Then couple of years back a friend of mine was talking about the shit people say on Twitter now, and I was not phased one bit, cause I had already heard it 20 years ago. That space has always been there where people go mask off, it’s just grown to a lot more spaces off late. Some people need to touch grass, maybe even smoke it.

- Comment on Firefox dev clarifies that AI features will be 'opt-in' and there will be a 'killswitch' to disable them 1 month ago:
I agree they should have put the switch first but also dev is messy. At least you can about:config it. And even then your data isn’t being sold out to anyone unless you use it.

Hmm no
Our mission is to ensure the Internet is a global public resource, open and accessible to all. An Internet that truly puts people first, where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.
Thats the first paragraph from their mission statement here www.mozilla.org/en-US/mission/
Doesn’t say anything about environmentally friendly. Also I think this part “where individuals can shape their own experience and are empowered, safe and independent.”, and their stance on AI in their browser and it being opt in make sense. Some people want to use it. Let them have a safe and private way to use it. Maybe Mozilla can show how a privacy respecting AI experience can be. Wouldn’t that still be a net good?

- Comment on It do be like that 10 months ago:
Yes they are but also the general attitude and politics at play just don’t allow for anyone but a well established name to publish negative results and still be taken as a serious researcher.
I agree a 100% about how valuable it is in reducing the search space.
- Comment on It do be like that 10 months ago:
Yeah but then you get branded as the person that publishes negative results and that complicates things, and the politics around that. Its something only well established people in the field have the luxury of doing, unfortunately.
