AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.
The level of hatred these AI bros have for creative people I just do not understand

I enjoyed Final Destination, but when Final Destination 2 came out, I was graduating from high school and they killed a bunch of graduating seniors in the movie and i just got so sick and sad and never watched another horror movie again until Get Out. That series has serious energy around it ❌

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

Any call for aid to enter Gaza without an explicit demand for a ceasefire, withdrawal, an end to bombardment, and accountability is not a courageous or bold moral stance worth celebrating. Aid is meaningless if our children are getting killed, whether they’re full or hungry.
