I find most of the discourse on "AI" right now really painfully polarized, which is why I've been avoiding talking about it -- I have no interest in getting sucked into it on either "side."

I obviously have thoughts (as an author and programmer) but they contain nuance and complexity, and I don't think there's a lot of room for that at the moment.

@cliffle I would love to read more nuanced thoughts and opinions about AI. I don't think it's as black and white as a lot of public comments suggest.

@liztai @cliffle There's no reason the parameters of the environment can't change. However the situation in the USA right now feels pretty grim and I don't have any hope of expanded social safety nets of any kind being implemented any time soon.

@rickoooooo yea I honestly feel for US folks and I don't blame them for their hostility, tho I get annoyed when they drag me into their arguments, assuming I have the same concerns, and if I don't I am the devil 🫠 @cliffle

@liztai @cliffle I must admit I'm guilty of assuming folks I interact with online are in the same country as me unless there's an obvious clue that they live in another country. Not that I argue with folks online but I do have a tendency to make that assumption in general. Conversations like these help remind me that the world is a big place and I need to work on reminding myself.

@rickoooooo it's ok I often assume every westerner I interact with is from the US haha. We live and learn. @cliffle
