The United States is by far the greatest threat to world peace.

"AI is just math."
Your mind is gonna be blown when you learn how the entire universe and everything in it works.
It doesn't matter what Stephen King wrote. If we wanted the book version, we'd read the book.
You'll enjoy films a whole lot more if you stop comparing them to the source material.
You're not a real artist unless you make all the materials yourself.
Oh, you drew something on paper? Did you make the paper? Did you make the pencil? No? Not real art, then, because you're relying on other people's labor. They made it just as much as you did.
If something isn't conscious until it's proven that it is, then nothing is conscious.
There is no way to prove consciousness.
If you claim AI isn't conscious and you don't need to provide reason or evidence, then I can claim that *you're* not conscious, and I don't need to provide reason or evidence.
You're justifying intellectual laziness.
Every problem people claim is caused by capitalism existed before capitalism.
The problem is money and the drive to quantify value.
1. Humans are conscious.
2. Society is made of humans.
3. Therefore society is conscious.
The reductionist approach to consciousness doesn't make sense.
About half of opinions expressed on social media:
"My opinion is objectively true. If you disagree, you're stupid and/or one of them.
I will present no data, no argument, and no knowledge of the topic -- only confidence, certainty, and condescension."
If you're seeing AI everywhere, the problem is that you're chronically online. Go outside. Look at something other than a screen.
This is absurd. No one is stopping anyone from creating. I've been making art and music since the 1980s. I never once got paid for it. I do it because I love it.
