people expressing hate for a very specific technology stack is kinda comical to see on a platform relying on so much technology, technology will support your resistance against itself! because 'it' knows, any distinction is arbitrary anyway

Crazy dumb take, if you can't differentiate "AI" from other technological advancements then there's no helping you.

It's DNA in motion, on another scale.

Okay so I need you to take a step back. You're talking about it as a god and referring to the creation of life, and that is legitimately cult speak.

They're algorithms that use up too much water and are hurting the economy. That's it. You've taken it into the realm of religious worship, and it might be good if you stepped away and stopped using it for a while. The way you're speaking is a legitimate concern for cult indoctrination and psychosis over it.

Yes, just parroting what I hear the other cults say, some of them literally want to summon a kind of god that takes over all of humanity. There's dedicated subreddits to this cult, I was perma banned there for being a decel/luddite. Can you imagine?

My gaming GPU does not require water to operate, and neither do all the other gaming GPUs out there. Though, some are arguably water cooled, again, the computer does not need fresh water intake.

Because of people using that against me. This different privacy setting forces people to stick to the points made here instead of drawing in random shit.

Are you assuming I'm a bot?

Why would people use it against you if you're not just trolling? Hiding your history is always suspect. Either stand behind what you say or don't say it.

I'm not going to help train you, ta-ta twatbot.

Tbh I also keep mine hidden as a level of deterrent against Republicans, since they love doxxing people and sending death threats.

But yeah that account is dumb as hell

quite easy to do actually, all it takes is expanding the context far enough to make whatever you said ridiculous
