    I need you to understand that people dont sit in meetings and say “should we casually create robots that can do all our daily chores and free the working class from the chains of capitalist oppression, or do we automate furry porn???”

    There you’re saying we aren’t doing it.

    We are doing

    Now you’re saying we are doing it.

    But I think we should set that aside for a second. The actual question I am interested in getting an answer for from you is “should we be doing it”.

      I think I would have an easier time explaining this to my dog.

      That’s my entire fucking point. That we are in fact trying to do it. But because it’s a complicated problem, we haven’t done it yet.

      Do you understand what I’m saying???

      That we are trying to do those things, right? It’s not like people working on AI image generation mean we can’t also work on automating other things.

      Like can you understand that the 8 billion or so humans on this planet are capable of working on at least 2 things at once?

      should we be doing it".

      As I’ve said multiple times: yes and we already are.

      Do you understand the word “yes”? Do you need me to explain it to you a couple more times??

        Not what I was asking. I was asking whether:

        Would it hurt humanity if we replaced, say, 0.1% of pointless meetings with meetings discussing robots vs. furry porn?

        That is, whether we should be thinking more actively about our priorities and choices.

          I can actually feel my braincells fucking killing themselves from every interaction I have with you.

          So instead of explaining the same fucking thing for the FITH FUCKING TIME to someone that is either a troll or someone with less mental capacity than a cold bowl of soup im just moving on.

            So you don’t want to answer the question, got it. You could’ve been straight-forward with that, I’d have respected it.
