Free will is real and it’s an illusion at the same time.
Our actions are reactions. And we are very limited in our execution of will by the most basic physical boundaries. For example I cannot fly, no matter how much I will it to be so.
We have free will to control the actions of the biological apparatus which is our body, to an extent, though even those are limited by circumstances and consequences.
Overall we have limited free will, or free will “lite”
Youtube… Youtube… Oh, yes, I remember Youtube. That was fun to use half a decade ago or so.
To salvage the materials and resell them or build something else from it?
True, and I still think it’s a symptom of a mentally cracked society.
The mentality that it is ok to do such things and often even publicly and commercially at that, just shows how fucked up we as a species really can be and too often are.
We need more education on many levels for all.
You missed the point. It’s about this simply being the next step of an old and longstanding topic.
I’m quite simply fed up with people treating AI as the incorrect starting point and scapegoat of so many things they dislike that already existed.
This problem already existed since people got good enough with MS paint. Then got next level bigger with photoshop and is now simply on the next level once more with ai generation.
It’s bad, and it’s also not something new and not caused by AI but by humans misusing a tool. Again.
Looking at yesterday’s date…
The modern world needs to change. Humans are getting more and more depressed, broken, struggling and mentally ill just to get more and more exposed to ads, social pressure and the lot.
Humans are creative family based animals, not machines that need to be forced into doing the same stuff over and over again all their lives.
A 4 day work week is a good start, but what’s really needed is a rather more drastic change to enable humanity as a whole and individually.
Long term view: Basic universal income with robots and AI doing most of the work is in theory doable and such similar ideas.
It’s just that the existing system is not only rusted tight, but also being held alive by those who benefit from the rusted thing and those who fear change.
I got a 3 day ban for agreeing that putin should die (after Selenskyj said it would soon be so) and the joking wish that his natural death also happens to his chosen successors.
Now im here.
Welcome for both of us! :)
Similar final straw for me.
I had wrote an anti putin thing under a post of Selenskyj where he stated putin will soon die, I confirmed that I hope so too and got like 400 upvotes and a hour or two later got deleted and a 3 day ban.
Thanks :)
I think we chose well.
Seems to be working.
I see many new ex redditors here like me
That’s more or less why I left reddit and came to lemmy.
This is in fact my very first post here. :)
Actually I would say that religions are just a symptom of a human flaw.
The same gets exploited by politics and other things too.
Religion is just so bad because it is based on an intangible mind construct as as lies go, this is one of the biggest ever to keep spreading and going fueled by nothing more than the sunk cost fallacy in time and energy invested of current and past believers. They need to validate themselves by pushing ot onto the next generations because otherwise it would mean their their time invested into it was pointless.
