Keeping up with the Johnses down

Let's not perfection be the enemy or progress. See my examples. Caring about climate can be taken to arbitrary lengths as well. Are you eating red meat? No? Are you vegan? No? Are you eating sustainably grown food?

The depth to which one can argue are endless. IMO, ethical models are a great first step. They change the equation and give some agency to people. Would you rather homestead or install rooftop solar offset your state's goal heavy electricity? It's a continuum and having choices pushes the entire frontier forwards

Lots of industries in USA are metric and keeping the imperial around for the social inertia.

For engineers/scientists this works. For normal people, this works IFF there's a gradual change. Eg: every sign that's replaced should have both units. Every product needs to add both units in within next X years. Then they can make imperial optional after a decade or more of common signs and finally go all in on SI.

But ofc no one likes a working solution. They'd rather stick to the measurement system that escaped pirates

Ethics of using AI are different than the efficacy of using AI. Both are included in Impact of using AI, but some people need to tease the two apart.

If Linux kernel isnt using AI, the hackers certainly will. Moreover there are ethically trained models as well.

(Doing a whatabout ism, couldn't find a good analogy) Wrt environmental impact, I don't see an outrage against eating red meat, over fishing, fast fashion to be as prominent despite their well studied negative impact. Part of it is because they are culturally tied or impossible to escape. AI has become like that for most coding tasks specially around security.

English would prefer killer child instead of child killer for the former because killer can behave as a qualifier.

Similarly, AI can act as a qualifier and while sports journalist is valid, any journalist writing about AI code, AI agent, AI whatever must realize what AI journalist sounds like

They don't say the second sentence. They say: how dare you question the vision of our esteemed leaders

This. USA and Canada have whitewashed their image quite a lot. Most other European nations have sins from colonial era that have been washed out yet.

Most of the first colonizers in americas didn't come by the goodness in their heart or for the upliftment. They were vultures or running away from "oppression" or criminals.

They don't like theirs 😂

Pedo priests are like bad apples in barrel. As per allegations they've been there for centuries. I wonder if there are any apples that aren't rotten for one reason or another

OOXML is open source. It's just that everything of importance for compatibility is in extensions. Fuck M$
