I knew a Gilgamesh! Went by Gil.

That and they just stay there active, decades after the conflict. There are still minefields from decades old conflicts that kill/injure people today.

It’s honestly no worse than dropping bombs on them. They don’t have to deal with the explosive shock blowing out their ear drums either. It’s way more escapable than sudden explosions happening all around you.

Besides… if you invade a country you’re down with death. A bunch of the soldiers use rape and attack civilians as well, so my concern for their well being dried up a long time ago.

That’s actually not the problem with chemical weapons. Chemical weapons are banned due to their indiscriminate nature (being blown by the wind) and really the fact that it causes slow deaths over years. It’s that it’s tantamount to torture (which is also banned).

Blowing people’s limbs off is considered A-OK as long as it’s not done with land mines.

Eh, that’s pretty metal. What I like about it is that it’s not some chemical weapon that floats on the air to hiteveryone in the vicinity. You will see where you are hitting clearly because it’s like a bright tracer round. And it’ll cause more injuries than deaths.

You almost have a sporting chance to get away once it’s started compared to the relatively sudden chaos of explosions.

Sure, if that’s how a really popular subreddit pays it’s moderators, it’s not unreasonable. We just know that isn’t what’s going on here.

In addition, it would be unreasonable to expect users of a free service to suddenly start paying for it without an extremely huge value boost which there’s been no mention of. If anything engagement will certainly go down, further reducing the value.

I’ve learned to hate companies that replaced their support staff with AI. I don’t mind if it supplements easy stuff, that should take like 15 seconds, but when I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get to the one lone bastard stuck running the support desk on their own, I start to wonder why I give them any money at all.

Yeah I had to do this with all my machines this morning. Worked.

If you are looking to subcontract some of that workload, I only need 1 mil to talk shit online

They are required to provide a safe working environment. I think this has more to do with that for the companies in the retail space.

Those that just produce products are all image and can suffer whatever PR backlash they create.

Oh most definitely! Freedom is bought with blood.

Put your loved ones in danger supporting a topic they care little about. Your mentality is the same used to support wars.

“My morality dictates this is worth putting other people in the line of fire for my ideals!”

Yup. Nothing is worth deciding someone else should get bullied for your decisions. People don’t work retail because they want to deal with culture war problems.

This isnt life or death. It’s selling rainbow themed products.

Well said.

No notes.

No apologies needed. You don’t mean it anyways. You’re just pretending anyone not actively engaged in your focus is against it. It’s a gaslighting tactic.

You’ve confused me with the other guy that was winning your arguments. I haven’t called you a name.

More conservative projection.

Eh whatever then. You just gonna be mad then and there’s no point discussing it online for you anymore.

I mean yeah… if he had a solution they would be actually have the revolutionary AI tool the tech writers write about.

It’s kinda written like a “gotcha” but it’s really the fundamental problem with AI. We call it hallucinations now but a few years ago we just called it being wrong or returning bad results.

It’s like saying we have teleportation working in that we can vaporize you on the spot but are just struggling to reconstruct you elsewhere. “It’s halfway there!”

Until the AI is trustworthy enough to not require fact checking it afterwards it’s just a toy.

Facial recognition still struggles with really bad mistakes that are always bad optics for the business that uses it. I’m amazed anyone is still willing to use it in its current form.

It’s been the norm that these systems can’t tell the difference between people of dark pigmentation if it even acknowledges it’s seeing a person at all.

Running a system with a decade long history or racist looking mistakes is bonkers in the current climate.
