Life in this system is like a everlasting grind session in a MMORPG without actually leveling up.

Of course they do! Where do you think birds come from? Or do you really think they are real?
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Accessibility is the only moral use that Generative AI can have nowadays51·15 days agoI think that in this context it does not apply because the person in the image is talking about people who use accessibility as an excuse to keep asking ChatGPT to do their homework, and I in particular refer to the legitimate use of AI solely and exclusively to facilitate accessibility. I could give as an example the Bots on Mastodon that, if you follow them, when you upload an image without Alt Text, they respond to the Toot with a detailed description of the image.
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The biggest privilege rich people have is to be extremely stupid on purpose.81·20 days agoI strongly disagree, because one of the consequences of being stupid while being poor is precisely to remain poor or outright misery . And with what you say, well, it can always get worse: losing the trailer in a disaster, catching a disease from poorly treated water, being deceived with promises of wealth and ending up in prison or dead…
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The biggest privilege rich people have is to be extremely stupid on purpose.3·20 days agoYou don’t need to tell me this is a true story, I just know it is 😂
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The biggest privilege rich people have is to be extremely stupid on purpose.72·20 days agoI have already said it in other answers, I repeat it again:
-
I’m referring to the PRIVILEGE that the rich have of being able to be stupid without major or even outright any consequences.
-
Obviously, by pure statistics, there will be MILLIONS of stupid poor people.

NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The biggest privilege rich people have is to be extremely stupid on purpose.31·20 days agoEXACTLY!! 👏👏👏
NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•The biggest privilege rich people have is to be extremely stupid on purpose.41·20 days agoNo, you’re confusing being stupid with being ignorant. THEY’RE NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL. All stupid people are ignorant, but not all ignorant people are stupid.
An ignorant person can be wise if they are aware of their own ignorance and asks for help or assistance; but an ignorant person becomes stupid the moment they forget that they’re ignorant and takes care of matters beyond their capabilities.
A poor person is condemned to be constantly aware of their own ignorance, since they don’t have the purchasing power or the necessary influence to compensate; the rich, on the other hand, is convinced that their economic success also implies intellectual success, and there is no one to contradict them, because they are the one who puts the money, so they are the one who makes the decisions.
There are rich people who are wise when, for example, they hire other people to solve their blind spots, and obviously there are stupid poor people, millions of them, purely for statistics.
But is this the best and most efficient way for rational beings to organize themselves? Let me be REALLY skeptical about that.

I didn’t say that rich people ARE stupid but CAN BE stupid without the consequences that most of us face. That’s is what we call PRIVILEGE

How many rich people you know that are actually geniuses? And how many rich people have you heard who have done the stupidest thing possible? How is the relation between those two?

NONE@lemmy.worldOPto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•All this AI nonsense is an attempt to capitalize on the mere act of human thinking101·22 days agoGood to know, pal! I’ve never used the AI either, never relied on it and never will, never asked it anything…
But my mother has. And my sister. And my sister’s friend. And my sister’s friend’s daughter. My coworkers use AI. My friends use AI. Some of my favorite content creators use AI. I’ve seen a lot more people talk about how they use AI to do mundane things that wouldn’t take them 2 minutes to think about, communiques for the neighborhood meeting, student speeches, Mourning messages…
I’ve read endless news stories of companies laying off 70% of their workforce to replace them with AI. I’ve seen endless articles talking about how people use AI as a therapist, as a replacement for friends and partners, as a replacement for human relationships…
I’ve seen hundreds of morons belittling the work of talented artists saying that “Why are you wasting your time with that? AI makes you something better in less than a minute”…
So, yes. neither you nor I make use of AI, we are not part of the circus. But everyone around us is. And that, whether we want it or not, splashes on us.
