You shouldn’t make arguments for things to not get better

That is what you are saying when you reject solutions to the problem.

At some point things need to get better.

So we need a party that is interested in change instead of stagnation.

The DNC has been stagnating and rotting my whole life.

Nothing has gotten meaningfully better under their leadership.

It’s what uneducated men do when they end up making society so hostile to women that women don’t want to date anymore.

A more extreme version of this happened durning the Arab Spring.

We haven’t learned to engineer economies well.

At least no country leaders have.

Does it pay enough to ever be free one day?

The thing about a party that does nothing but maintain the status quo is they will never make things better.

I don’t think it’s healthy to feel morally superior for preventing progress.

Lmao which numbr bigger pedant

I don’t care a third of the country stayed home. They do that every election and always will.

The majority voted for Donald Trump.

He won the popular vote.

He did not win because of some electoral college bullshit.

He won because more people voted for him than his opponents.

Come to terms with the fact that 1 third of our country would sit on the couch and watch another third exterminate the last third.

This is almost verbatim the same argument they use against piracy saying if people can pirate “no one buys any disks from the store”

Do you understand the different conext of wanting something to be profitable vs wanting people to know you made the thing you worked to create?

This is i think a core separation on the issue, and speaks to how little empathy the AI shovelers have for the tools they use trained on the hard work of real human beings.

I’m not taking credit for it, maybe some people do, but it’s a strawman argument to say everyone does.

So who are these people crediting when the image they asked to be generated is using art that isn’t credited?

People who make a moral panic about forms of piracy are basically screaming “Think of the children” as far as I’m concerned.

Spoken like someone who hasn’t created art great enough that they want their name on it.

It’s ultimately trying to justify passing off the work of others as their own by obfiscating the way in which it’s done.

It’s not worth creating your own art if an AI is just going to rip your style and take credit the second you post it.

I often find the people who make excuses for AI art theft have never taken the days to make a piece of art that you upload to a community just to see others passing off your work as their own.

It’s been proven the artists used in the training data can be identified by the art the AI generates. As well as with generted text. It doesn’t copy pixel for pixel or word for word, but it copys identifiable techniques and prose.

I wouldn’t have as much of a problem with it if every artist agreed for their works to be used, but these bots just scraped the open internet and took everything they could find and that’s the training data.

All AI art is trained on the work of real artists who didn’t give consent for these programs to copy their work.

If society thought people copying parts of other artists work was stealing before AI we should treat AI art as stealing because it copys parts of artists work.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

You’re absolutely right.

This is just something we will tell ourselves to cope with our spiraling quality of life.

There’s enough existing housing and resources for the vast majority of people to live off a single income.

Wealth inequality keeps all that excess under the control of less than 4000 billionaires that now own most wealth that exists.

And he will still be in power afterwards.

We have to more than hold signs

He still has 40% support, so he’s still incredibly popular.

We all know what it actually takes to stop Fascists.

An establishment dem would say it’s because their policies aren’t popular, the part they keep in their head is them thinking it’s communism and having a flashback to their country beating the Red Scare into them.

Go retire James, nobody cares about you or your dynasty anymore

Right wing ideologies depend on fear
