  • Karma systems invalidate someone’s way of thinking. You may not realize how much people will say or do anything to feel better about themselves seeing a stupid number go up. And the more meaningless points that a user has, they get a god complex by thinking they can say or do no wrong.

    A lot of the people I’ve confronted on this platform and in the past, are assholes with lots of points.

    I don’t see the point in karma systems at all. It isn’t about making posts the most seen. It’s about people chasing validity.

    It’s stupid. It’s one of man’s demonstrations of power-tripping over another thing.

    “Luuk, I gu out at the ass-crack o’the mornin’ and I shoot something down, I feel prowd!”

    A lot of the time, it is simply about just going out and killing something short of joining the military because we can’t just go around killing whoever and whatever we don’t like without being penalized for it.

    Nothing but just fulfilling that small dick complex, is what it is.


  • The problem about AI right now is multi-pronged.

    But the main key problems are;

    It’s costing people’s jobs. In a way, this is of no surprise because before AI, there were shitty bosses and CEOs. They were always there and they will always find any excuse, if any, to release you from your job. AI only merely accelerated it.

    Data Centers/AI Plants take too much water. I like how people conveniently forget today, how much water companies like Coca-Cola and Nestle actually take while turning around, bottling said water, just to sell it back to you. And if anyone has watched How It’s Made, you can find arguments everywhere in that series, about how much resources are taken to make everything we use.

    My point is, is a lot of arguments that people bring up against AI, there’s such a wedge of counter-arguments in them that negate the problem of AI itself. It’s just demonized because people are disappointed that AI isn’t magically fixing roads and potholes, I guess, I don’t know. Society doesn’t know what they truly want anymore out of anything, it’s just the feeling in the moment of the current ‘I want said thing’ dominates their mindsets.

    But the actual problem with AI shocks no one - shitty CEOs.
