Is AI bad?

It Depends. Large corporate AI hosted at a data centre that consumes a nuclear reactor’s worth of power and a lake’s worth of water for cooling for the purpose of generating slop stolen from Artists and Writers? Yes.

Locally run embedded AI designed for a specific task to automate small processes or enhance the UI experience with little cost to local computing resources because it’s been properly optimised? No.

Please, he’s Pound-Stretcher Trump. Not even Poundland would stock him.

I don’t know that- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

Genuinely curious question from someone who’s not into this as a fetish but, how does this fetish give you satisfaction?

I’ve had some bits of fluff get into the tip and that was very irritating and hurt for a while even after it was removed. What is the mechanism that is giving you pleasure from this activity? Enjoyment of the pain from the foreign object irritation? The sensation of the sounding rod sliding down? The feeling of it being stretched? The feeling of it being removed?

This is why you have to factor in the airspeed velocity of your laiden and unlaiden swallows pigeons.

But can we just do it with the sticks and stones we were promised?

Speaking as an Englishman: fuck 'em.

I’m so done with dealing with these antivax idiots that I hope they catch the new variants and suffer.

I do feel sorry for those with compromised immune systems and the kids of antivaxers who also have to suffer because these morons believe the wild conspiracies that it’s a weapon for population control that is activated by 5G.

It almost makes me wish the conspiracy was true and these morons were the target leaving the rest of the population alone.

But I guess these loons won’t see reason until their grandma or child is gargling on fluids in an understaffed, overcrowded, and collapsing NHS hospital.
