The issue with AI is not that it’s not an impressive technology, it’s that it’s built on stolen data and is incredibly wasteful of resources. It’s a lot like cars in that regard, sure it solves some problems and is more convenient than the alternatives, but its harmful externalities vastly outweigh the benefits.

LLMs are amazing because they steal the amazing work of humans. Encyclopedias, scientific papers, open source projects, fiction, news, etc. Every time the LLM gets something right, it’s because a human figured it out, their work was published, and some company scraped it without permission. Yet it’s the LLM that gets the credit and not the person. Their very existence is unjust because they profit off humanity’s collective labour and give nothing in return.

No matter how good the technology is, if it’s made through unethical means, it doesn’t deserve to exist. You’re not entitled to AI more than content creators are entitled to their intellectual property.

Also, just because a dog looks “designer” doesn’t mean it’s unhealthy. The Bichon Frise for example is pretty hardy and regularly live to 16, 17, or even longer without many long term health problems. Part of the reason is because they’re not a wildly popular dog breed and as a result they’re not overbred and their gene pool is pretty healthy. (I have a bichon, not like a PURE breed one with a certificate or anything, which is good, but no obvious signs of being a mix either. Not trying to sell you on the breed obviously but just wanted to use it as a counter example).

are just wolves with their version of down syndrome

Categorically false. Down syndrome is due to having an extra chromosome. While dogs have 2 fewer chromosomes than wolves. No, it’s not the same thing because it is a single matched pair that is missing, which is the the “normal” way chromosome counts change through evolution. Dogs don’t act like wolves because they have been evolving mostly separately from wolves to the point where they are generally considered a separate species. Dogs aren’t wolves with down syndrome in the same way coyotes aren’t wolves with down syndrome. They act differently because they’re different animals adapted to wildly different niches.

The docile nature comes from literally having fewer neurons in aggression/panic/fight regions of their brain. MinuteEarth video

I REALLY don’t get this one. Aren’t the alt right obsessed with patriotism shit? Why would they remove the constitution? Then again I’m not American so I don’t know the nuances.

Shiba Inus don’t deserve to be associated with fascism.

The real ACAB is the police department dumping a retired K9 at the pound.

Yeah throw away a living animal once you no longer have use for it why don’t you

They’re one of the largest tech media companies and deliberately chose to sweep this under the rug instead of reporting on it. Then they took sponsorships from Karma, which is a competitor to Honey that does the exact same thing.

And then they took sponsorships from Karma which does the exact same thing

How much you want to bet he uses Ad block himself but it’s suddenly different when YOU do it on HIS content?

Yes you would.

Yes you absolutely fucking would.

Shut the fuck up corporate social media.

A marketing post like this is tone deaf as fuck and an insult to our intelligence to even imply you wouldn’t have. I’m so fucking sick of corporations seeing any internet sensation as an opportunity to cash in and make it about them. Fuck you.
