Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I wouldn't have guessed decades ago that the greatest and grandest material promise (setting aside the usual nerd shit about godlike waifu mommy bangmaids that exceed human consciousness but are also somehow unconditionally loving of the nerds and maybe wont kill their nerd masters) of some up and coming hyped up venture capital thirsty technology is that it might somehow someday solve the problems that it is making worse, and that by making them that much worse that surely those worsening problems would get solved. galaxy-brain

The next self-described "leftist" that concern trolls on this site about how everyone needs to stop complaining, stop being "emotional" or "afraid" and come up with (always unspecified by the glazer) "solutions" that align with the expansion and amplification of the problem as desired by terminal stage capitalists will be reminded by me that their belief system aligns with fucking former Google CEO Eric Schmidt that says energy demand for AI is infinite and we are never going to meet our climate goals anyway, so we may as well bet on building AI to solve the problem.

My disgust for that take is vast and maybe infinite.*
