The worry is more that AI strengthens the hand of people who already want to destroy those things ("why bother if an AI can do it for us"), and that increasing dependence on AI and exposure to slop will destroy people's capacities for independent thought. The worry is that human culture will be

Apparently the authorities demand that bodies of large animals be disposed of so as to avoid contaminating groundwater.

No, it's actually a very crucial difference. On a traditional Christian/Aristotelian picture of the world, it is bad for us when we are not fulfilling our telos, or doing what we were designed to do. Just because something is evolutionarily adaptive, however, doesn't mean it's good for us.

People in the US (where I am) are beneficiaries of a huge stroke of moral luck, and I dislike seeing Americans cheer for the deaths of people who are likely no worse than they would be under equivalent circumstances.

I understand why Ukrainians feel that way. It really annoys me specifically when westerners who haven't suffered and who have almost nothing at stake celebrate people's deaths.

"Oh, we can just rebel against the authoritarian government that has spent the last 30 years ruthlessly eliminating dissent with violence. Why didn't I think of that?"

Also honestly I'm not sure how you managed to interpret "Russia takes advantage of the ethnic minorities that it keeps in a state of dire poverty and hopelessness so that it can entice them into being cannon fodder" as a *pro*-Russian statement.

You don't need to "support them," nor should you. But I really don't like seeing people treating other people's deaths too lightly.

Again, not excusing them for anything they do in Ukraine, but I also don't think that they're necessarily just inhuman monsters whose deaths shouldn't trouble us at all. Even the most justified war is a tragedy.

The Buryat soldiers in the article are making the morally wrong choice, but against a wider background of economic coercion and victimization of ethnic minorities in Russia. And they likely have very limited access to information about the causes of the war other than state propaganda.

Yeah that's why war sucks and I'm glad not to have anything to do with it. I'm not in a position where I have to wish death on anyone, like your friends have to, so I won't.

Yeah of course privileged people in St. Petersburg love it; they can make money off of the war economy and avoid the draft. Same as privileged people in almost any war.

Also even when people volunteer, like, middle-class people from Moscow or St. Petersburg aren't very likely to be enticed by an enlistment bonus; the people who end up volunteering are more likely to be from outside the metropole, with little political awareness and limited life prospects.

Yeah Russians just love war. It's not like they've had to expand the draft like three times, or recruit convicted prisoners into PMCs, or rent out portions of the North Korean army, or...
