I mean that’s a wonderful “what if” situation. Universal basic income and an expanded commons.

But I’m going to pull you up on the notion of cognitive labour.

Most artists and writers are not just coming up with ideas but actually executing them.

Creating pictures, even digitally, usually requires the artist to place their body in a location for a duration and perform (often repetitive) tasks.

This is manual labour too. They chose to exchange their physical existence for the creation of this work.

The same is true of most writers too. Not just the typing up of their ideas, but frequently the physical process of acquiring the material to express those ideas. Travelling for interviews. Talking to people.

So yeah, don’t let them get away with suggesting that theft was purely “cognitive labour” because that finishes the crime.

You should have let it stand.

Stet it right up.

Yeah, sort of.

I mean it is a tool made from stealing other people’s work.

And also we have restrictions on other tools in society. Knifes for instance. They’re pretty neat, but you wouldn’t want to be giving them to kids or pretending that it solves every problem.

Sort of like cigarettes in the 1950s.

Or asbestos.

Bear a bot? Yeah, you shouldn’t do that. That’s how you get tics.

Yeah mate, some of your posts hit like nearly double digits.

You know that’s just a myth, right?

So, at what age do you think someone becomes a man?

Edit: I agree this is an awful thing to happen to a young life… But…

It’s wild that we infantalise people the actual law considers an adult. He was old enough to vote, get married, join the armed forces and serve on a jury.

Also, do you think it’s disrespectful to not allow him the title of, “man”?

Last word.

Average boomer birthday card patter.

This is social media. A conversation, not debating society.

You don’t “win” when talking to people.

Hard indifference… You don’t think it weird to announce your opinion like that before giving it?

I really dislike people who say “hard disagree”.

It’s the worst tick of internet discourse. Announcing your contrarianism.

I’m pretty sure that their disagree is, in fact, soft and they are a little ashamed of it.

So they tell us it is hard whilst trying to thumb their disagree in.

No.

I mean it’s pro-privacy, but that’s hardly anti-AI.

Genuine question: What are you using?

It’s cool, the fucker flies around the world on an aeroplane whilst demanding we save the environment.

He’s also one of the single largest tax Dodgers in the UK, so when he talks about “the working man” he’s talking specifically about the very people he steals from.

Dictionary compilation is descriptive, not prescriptive.

They don’t “disagree” with anyone. They just report on how words are being used.

You can’t get into an argument with a dictionary, no matter how hard you try.

Remember, reading isn’t about numbers.

Don’t turn into that douche that always quotes how many books they’ve read that year like speed reading and skimming are admirable and all books are the same length.

Maybe the sort that piles them all up and posts to social media thinking it is impressive or that people will like them for it.

You read for you. Take your time and enjoy.
