  • You think a person’s worth is tied to their genes. Pretty yuck. I disagreed and explained how.

    For the record I was calling YOU out for linking a person to their genes, just not directly, trying to be courteous to the conversation.

    Keep replying now, and you’re just slapfighting. Not worth it. I said in the last comment our positions are well known and the conversation is functionally concluded.

    I mean if it’s a damaged or failed it’s a bad gene. It caused ms!

    It’s not shitting on a person, it’s discussing a condition.

    I can understand that discussion can lead to eugenics style thoughts.

    “Oh that person has tons of bad genes, they therefore are bad”. That’s wrong though, a person can have a super fucked up body but it doesn’t change their value or goodness.

    When discussing a condition, the genes that improve or cause that condition can be described as good or bad.

    Context matters.










  • But at the end of the day it’s “art” (shitty, copyright infringing, yes.), Or at minimum “media”. When has other media been “grossly negligent” or generally responsible for the acts of the consumers? Aggressive/emotional books or music certainly has joined folks at the moment of their self inflicted demise. Violent video games have certainly been “on the shelf” for some who commit horrible violence. We don’t blame those media for causing what the users do…

    Edit to be clear I’m not suggesting mentally unstable folks can’t be seriously impacted by the content they consume. Or that that isn’t a serious issue.

    But if a chatbot is held liable for the actions of a user, why wouldn’t a song about ending your life be held to the same standard? I would hope it’s not.
