My problem is I LOVE cars. I didn’t realize this was c/fuckcars when I posted. Woops. Legitimately, I understand the consternation at huuuuuge SUVs and trucks like this. I drive to work (and I love it) - but the truck/suv to car ratio on the road is like 10:1. In the middle of the city… it’s fucking stupid - and I look inside the vehicles. Always driven by a single person with no cargo. Ideally, I want a 1-person, 1-seater car. I want the stability of 4 wheels, the cage for protection/air conditioning, etc and nothing beyond that.

I want a japanese kei car. They make the mazda look like it’s a monster truck. Something like the Daihatsu Copen.

Parents can just install a porn blocker and educate their children.

The problem is, they aren’t - and we’ve got this huge generation of kids who haven’t had things explained to them, going around thinking fucking dogs or elf girls is normal.

Joke’s on you, I was already stupid to begin with.

I mean, you’re not a dick, but it will come across that way. She may not have the support structure behind her to be ABLE to get any free time away from the kids. Sometimes this can alienate women and kill any social outlets they have - which is why married couples becomes so introverted after years of marriage. You’ve gotta look out for your own life, so do what you want - but I’m not sure there’s anything you can do 100% that will make her for sure understand.

Yes, it can be enough to do this.

Get on Reddit at work? If you share any public internet with literally ANY other Reddit troll who’s been banned, they just simply saw your IP address matched, and banned you because of that connection.

TV panels have lower PPI than monitors.

It looks grainy because it’s a damn TV and not a monitor. You’re not going to be able to tell the difference AT THE DISTANCE that you’re supposed to be using them at. Larger monitors are meant to be used from a farther distance away. TVs are meant to be used from across the room.

You’re that guy with his retina plastered on the glass of his smartphone going “I CAN SEE THE PIXELS!”

Weird, Google search with uBlock origin has always been great for me.

If you continue going to the buffet with shit, that’s on you. There are plenty of them without shit. You’re just a vegan luddite at this point. You don’t wanna eat animals, so you expect everyone around you to also not eat animals because it’s against your beliefs.

Sorry. Not how the world works. AI is here to stay because it’s useful to people. Whine and bitch and moan all you want, it’s not going away.

You have the ability to choose an insurance company that doesn’t use those things. Hell, you even have the ability to self-insure in most states with enough collateral. Nothing is being forced on you. Hell - you EVEN have the ability to hire an in-person insurance agent – did you know that?

Sure, it’s not as cheap - but you’ve always been able to do this. You are not being forced like you claim, your own ignorance is what betrays you to the options you have available.

And what other people do with their ingestion of AI is their business, not yours.

Without AI, all of the things you say they are doing WITH AI were already possible. They could ALREADY spy on employees. They could ALREADY lie and manipulate people. All AI does is make it happen on a wider scale.

So instead of attacking “AI” “AI” “AI”…why not attack the things that are being done wrong, rather than the fact that it’s AI?

Nobody is forcing you to do anything by their use of AI. You don’t have a right to TikTok not having things made with AI because you have the freedom to simply not use TikTok. Just as an example.

Lossless Scaling (on Steam) has also shown HUGE promise from a 2-GPU standpoint as well. I’ve seen some impressive results from people piping their NVidia cards, into an Intel GPU (on-die or discreet) and using a dedicated GPU for the upscaling as well.

I’m starting to have a sneaking suspicion that putting 24G of VRAM on a card isn’t happening because they don’t want people using AI models locally. The moment you can expect the modern gamers computer to have that kind of local computing power - is the moment they stop getting to slurp up all of your data.

No, because you use the uppermost-bound of the statement. Your opinion doesn’t take precident as the opinion above it (polluting the river) already violates the rights of others. Your opinion literally is the same as mine. That the person polluting the river (their opinion being they can) - shouldn’t be able to use that opinion to affect others. You’re saying the same as I am, but focused on the wrong part.

Like with religion – You’re free to believe whatever you want to believe. That you’re not allowed to have abortions, etc.

But the moment YOUR belief, says that I can’t have an abortion, is when it becomes invalid, because it’s not MY belief. I don’t have to abide by YOUR belief/opinion on the matter. Your opinions don’t dictate my actions.

Now, you can control your actions - by, say - not buying from me. You control your actions, so while you can’t force companies not to AI, there’s nothing forcing you to buy from them when you are aware of its use. You can’t stop them from using it because you don’t like it though. Your opinion of it being good/bad, or if they can/should/shouldn’t use it matters absolutely none.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Is that because you can’t pinpoint it yourself? There’s a reason that you can’t. It’s because no contradiction exists.

Have you thought about this for more than 2 seconds?

Have YOU? - Your example is clearly them violating the rights of others. This isn’t some paradox point of view or the “got ya!” moment that you think it is.

Oh no, people are assaulting me with their different opinions!

No - you can’t say no. People have a right to use AI in their productions, and your opinion cannot force them to do otherwise.

As with anything - the moment your opinion starts to dictate other people’s lives, it becomes invalid.
