John Overholt“Terry Pratchett wrote every decent person’s favorite summary of the bedrock of humanist morality in a fantasy book for young readers called I Shall Wear Midnight: ‘Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.’ Treating people as things can begin in many ways, but I think one of them is the idea that things can be people.” https://www.todayintabs.com/p/a-i-isn-t-people
yelling jackal@overholt Thank you for sharing this article, it's basically written down all my problems in one palatable piece, far better than I would do, piece meal, over a text chat or an emotional meeting or voice call.
HollieK"Imagine you have two machines. One you can open up and examine all of its workings, and if you give it every picture of a cat on the whole internet, it can reliably distinguish cats from non-cats. The other is a black box and it can also reliably distinguish cats from non-cats if you give it half a dozen pictures of cats, some apple sauce, and a hug."
The second black box would like to substitute ice-cream for the apple sauce, please, and would like one serving per cat identified.
⁂ Fish Id Wardrobe@overholt Carpe Jugulem first, I think.
