I find arguments that AI can't do judgement or creativity or taste to be especially obviously false in the time of agents. Any long task requires lots of taste, judgement & creativity. I am much more sympathetic to arguments about the quality or diversity of the AI's taste, judgement, or creativity
Resistance to & rejection of hierarchical power structures is in the collective interest of all oppressed peoples, whether we’re human or nonhuman. Our liberation is inseparable & codependent. We stand together. We are #OneBillionScreams
People think if they can't pay more for Vegan nuggets, they could never afford to change their diets - and that just isn't true. You can always stop eating those kinds of comfort foods too Is it fun? No. But if it's what's most moral - then that is what it is It isn't about our convenience or joy
Herbiⓥore@herbivoreclub.bsky.social · 17h agoVegans are a diverse range of people - different sizes, races, incomes, political parties, ages, cultures, religions, etc. Assuming vegans are all financially privileged just because they don't abuse animals is quite peculiar.
I eat as cheap as I think ive ever eaten as a vegan. It takes a bit of prep, but it doesnt price people out at all.

ICE Arrests of New York's Asian Immigrants Increases 600% Under Trump

im curious as to what extent China's open AI policy is motivated by ideology vs the opportunity to kick burgerstan while it's down I hope it's both, personally
the worry I constantly come back to is if we're not letting kids get exposed to sometimes uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous things, we're setting them up for failure by letting them enter adulthood by not having any experience or understanding for how to deal with those things
