He answered every question that way.

Then threatened to hurt him for not answering questions. This is a real witch hunt.

I’m saying that the concept was delusional from the start because it assumes good faith actors are always in place when history has shown us that people will use their positions to hurt others.

My mother back in the 80s proudly explained to us that even though she could get food stamps, she wouldn’t since that would make her a bad person.

In many, judges expressed frustration that they can no longer take the government at its word.

You just now figured this out?

Insert “first time?” meme here.

I do understand that–it could be horrifying, especially for someone without prior experience. I was more taking exception with the headline than anything.

That sounds like half a line from a rap song.

I have had to go through so many background checks and have had to prove identity and work status to get a job. How can you become an exec of a modern company on a fake name?

My computer uses a dark mode theme so that white colored font would have stood out to me.

This was my thought. Not saying that there is any justification, but the phrasing is very leading.

“fall ill” is not really on the point. “Got really high and everyone panicked because nobody knew why” is a better way to put it

My iPhone is backed up in the cloud and it’s a matter of minutes to restore it, though the data can take longer to appear. It’s not a real big deal for me to lose my phone, cost aside.

People who are into technology tend to know a little bit about a lot of things that still rises well beyond the level of the average person. You don’t get onto Lemmy without having some tech ability unless someone helped you set it up.

You said:

possibly due to misinformation about its environmental costs.

You made a very strong set of assumptions:

• The environmental cost is exaggerated

• People are misinformed about it

You then failed to substantiate your claim with any argument or evidence.

I’m not taking a side here, I’m just explaining what happened.

There is a great deal of worry about two things: 1, real creative people are being displaced since many no longer feel they need their services. 2, AI is not creative and cannot generate real art. It is really used only by people who cannot make art and usually cannot tell the difference.

That your assessment is very wrong. You may not understand the average person here or who they are.

Not invented, siphoned off from those who can’t game the system like they can. That means you and me.

People on Lemmy exist at a very high technical level. This place is full of people with advanced degrees in STEM.

This has nothing to do with that specific image, and more to do with the fact that it is AI generated. The complaint is that you should have either done the art yourself or had someone do it for you rather than let AI do it.

And testosterone will genuinely ages you. This stuff is not meant to be taken lightly.
