    I think he’s just anti-capitalism. He has no problem with AI he just doesn’t like that he has to pay for it.

      Maybe the cost sobered them up and they had a real thought of the real worth of what they were doing.

      It’s all fun and games until you hit the squeeze.

        Personally I don’t care how people convert to the right way of thinking. I care that they do it.

        This purity test mentality is what kills movements.

          Fair.

          I was a petty church boy until people who were kind enough to challenge my beliefs without belittling me. If I had been shunned for not getting it about then president Dubya, I might have become a very different person.

            Exactly this here. All this purity posturing drives people away from movements.

            I like to borrow a phrase from Stratagem Twenty-Two (Catch the Thief by Closing His Escape Route):

            围师必阙,穷寇勿迫。

            Roughly translated it means, “When you surround an army, you must leave an outlet; do not press a desperate enemy too hard.”

            Translating this into social movements, I’d express it as, “Leave room for redemption; don’t shun the opposition forever”.

            Because if people think there’s no path to redemption, they won’t try to redeem themselves. They’ll go further down the path that you don’t like.
