code_for_monkey··on Pope Francis has died
Jesus pretty famously did allow himself to be killed
code_for_monkey··on Pope Francis has died
are you going to come back to this or what because it was not as clever as you think it was. English your first language?
code_for_monkey··on Pope Francis has died
if you showed up to my house with a gun and said "give me your living room or die" I'd probably do it, yeah. See the thing is, youre not at my house and you dont have a gun so the analogy doesn't work.

You should do it. Show up to my house with 6 of your friends and a tank, and then when you say "give me your living room or die" and then when I point out "this is bad, you shouldnt do this" you'll just leave? You'll realize the errors of your ways and go "you know, I was ready to kill for this but now I think I just won't".

Lets take this even further, youre openly threatening to kill me for my house. If my neighbors are going "hold on! Don't give in! Heres a gun, you got this!" are they helping or are they getting me killed? Do you think thats whats going to happen, or do you think the neighbors are saying "this psycho is going to kill you, give them what they want".

It doesnt work.

edit: this got flagged? why? Its pretty benign

code_for_monkey··on Pope Francis has died
LOL Ill say! Far more positive

Jesus famously said turn the other cheek
code_for_monkey··on Pope Francis has died
what about Benedict did you like?
code_for_monkey··on Pope Francis has died
its not biblical but its very catholic, its optimistic. I've heard it from other catholics, its just a hope that at the end of everyones life they accepted jesus and made it into heaven.
code_for_monkey··on Isaac Asimov Describes How AI Will Liberate Humans and Their Creativity (1992)
or that it would aggressively focused on doing the work of already low paid creative field jobs. I dont want to read an AI's writing if theres a person who could write it.

I think Lucy is going to let Charlie Brown kick the football this time
code_for_monkey··on Lawmakers are skeptical of Zuckerberg's commitment to free speech
"elon musk cares about free speech" yeah and your dad is coming back with those cigarettes any day now
code_for_monkey··on Lawmakers are skeptical of Zuckerberg's commitment to free speech
I dont know why anyone wouldnt be. Why would people, at this point, not approach the things Zuck, or Musk, say without extreme caution? They want to be rich god kings, they dont care about free speech. They say stuff they think will move the needle that direction.
code_for_monkey··on Recent AI model progress feels mostly like bullshit
music theory is a really good test because in my experience the AI is extremely bad at it
code_for_monkey··on Shared DNA in Music
this is a weirdly anti art view of music as a whole, do you just not enjoy organized sound?
code_for_monkey··on Shared DNA in Music
I actually think what your asking for exists, I cant remember the name but I think Aphex Twin was involved?
code_for_monkey··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
youre right and theyll hate for it

Biden was in charge the entire time if he wanted people to think his party was better on Gaza he shouldve been better on Gaza. They dealt with a massive protest wave in blue staes and they told everyone who cared about Gazans to get fucked, then they lost. Its not hard to understand.

code_for_monkey··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
this just the same shitty elitism that everyone hates. Oh those dumb midwesterns, they shouldve voted for our genocide.
code_for_monkey··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
is this sarcasm or irony?
code_for_monkey··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
people have absorbed so much american "the left is always evil and the right can do no wrong" propaganda they dont even realize it.
code_for_monkey··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
sure this sounds bad, but we also currently have, in the USA, and administration who deports student protestors and does Nazi salutes. Ive been hearing about how "oh, the left just calls us Nazis for any opinion that differs from them" and now they are in power doing Nazi salutes. They were Nazis the whole time. No one is getting called Nazi for their opinions on tax rebates.

I would appreciate a broader examination of how this site politics function because no one here seems to understand the difference between liberals and leftists.
code_for_monkey··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
I think this take comes from a place of western privilege. Biden has always been extremely pro Israel, more than even the average politician here. Biden refused to recognize the ICC war criminal ruling's on Bibi and Israel and also gave them whatever weapons they wanted. It doesnt really make a difference if Trump is more rude and annoying about it, neither of them like Alive Palestinians.

I mean, the whole thing went down under the Biden Presidency. If he thought getting those votes was important he couldve shut it down, it wouldnt even be the first time a president did that. Reagan reigned them in all the way in the 80s.

code_for_monkey··on Talkin’ about a Revolution
it was a huge anchor around the dem's neck, it was a huge conversation during the entire election. They were unable to convince people that Trump would be worse for Gaza than them.
code_for_monkey··on A bear case: My predictions regarding AI progress
wish this didnt resonate with me so much. Im far from a 10x developer, and im in an organization that feels like a giant, half dead whale. Sometimes people here seem like they work on a different planet.
code_for_monkey··on I Used to Teach Students. Now I Catch ChatGPT Cheats
oh no! Anything but that! Everything will fall apart!
code_for_monkey··on I Used to Teach Students. Now I Catch ChatGPT Cheats
Why the attitude? The prideful educators in their ivory towers, unlike Sam Altman or the folks at google and microsoft, humble downtrodden men of the earth making billions off the AI.
code_for_monkey··on Show HN: Sonauto API – Generative music for developers
obtaining, addressing, and writing a message in a post card is the effort, not the picture.
code_for_monkey··on Show HN: Sonauto API – Generative music for developers
The problem with AI music, and in fact AI in general, is that weve spent the last few decades aggressively attacking the idea that art should get paid for at all and yet people still do it, because they love it. So musicians work for pennies, and yet people still need to replace them with a machine.

So even if you just pay someone else to make you a song, its not really any more expensive than this. Same with painting. What does this AI bring to the table, at all? It grosses me out.

People on this site should go pick up a guitar and write a 3 chord song about someone, itll take you a day if that. Its not hard! Its fun!

code_for_monkey··on Show HN: Sonauto API – Generative music for developers
the reason a song from a friend makes you happy is directly related to the effort behind it, this is totally meaningless.
code_for_monkey··on Show HN: Sonauto API – Generative music for developers
no one can actually explain the value OpenAI adds to humanity. What massive loss? What have we gained from this entity other than another billionaire riding a hype cycle?
code_for_monkey··on Show HN: Sonauto API – Generative music for developers
i agree more times over than I can count. Its pointless, borderline offensive, will not enrich anyone, and makes us all worse off.
