why should we do anything?

And having come into this world, just stupidly going with the flow is the path of vegetables.

I guess insulting everyone on this planet is fine Michael tildearrow but me trying to reason with the person is not fine, so you deleted my message?

OK then, deal with this fine person yourselves. It seems like he has posted some truly insightful stuff here.

After reading a few of your threads I have the impression that you world view is rather skewed. You seem to have some kind of fantasy world in your mind and based on that the real world does not seem to make much sense to you. It doesn't really make sense to discuss anything when all your arguments are based on your own fantasy world that seems to differ quite a bit from the real world.

Where did you see meaningfulness in this world? how does it manifest itself? the fact that we suffer from various diseases all the time? that our life is work-home, work-home, work-home? That we always kill each other? Did you see any meaning in this? The fact that everything is built on lies? Did you see great wisdom in this? What did I offer you that was fantastic? Invent a time machine? No, I didn't suggest that. I just suggested laying the foundation so that people can realize their wildest good ideas. if you believe you, then everything is fine in the world, there is no evil in the world, there is no death in the world, the Linux kernel is perfect and nothing needs to be changed. everything is just different. I just said that guys, while we're alive, let's change something, let's work with what we have. even if it's a little bit, it's not a fact that we can do anything, but let's take a chance and try. One way or another, death awaits us all. What are we losing? and idiots come in who believe in life after death, who are waiting for the Messiah, and try to accuse me of living in a fantasy world.

Sir this is a software benchmarking website

...And it saddened me to tears to see when educated people wrote letters asking to slow down the development of neural networks. Educated people were afraid of the uprising of machines like in the movie Terminator. And I want to understand who you are? Are you the ones who think that AI will destroy you?

I think there's a intellectual decline, and people using AI only furthers that decline. Hell, I've seen people providing Linux solutions copy/paste from ChatGPT without even including a solution; people use AI like that to look superior for brownie points, and while lacking the knowledge to actually know what a solution is, instead lets AI spew-out nonsense. Never-mind the bad-intent means of AI people willingly use against others (plagiarism, deep-fakes, face-swapping teen girls from high-school onto porn vids/blackmail, chat bots to push agendas in various platforms, etc).

Basically, people prove they aren't ready for AI, and I'm not for putting it everywhere without people getting more knowledgeable in-general, how to interact with people, and AI.

AI also should not be a replacement for genuine human interactions. Fedora's talking about adding a forums AI chatbot to interact with people when the community of real-people is a low-activity period (aka people sleeping). Wtf is that? I'd toss it into the above if it was some random person, but there's some high-ranking people in-favor of it. Faking/inflating your community's presence and having bots acting like people, to interact with people? How about fix your distro and make it more-appealing so more people want to use it and be in the forum

I'll go with AI being potentially useful for science and defense, but regular joes are too-wacky with trying to use it everywhere to others.

...when were people not in intellectual decline, as you put it?

As I put it in that context: Before mainstream social media

Case in-point: The rest of your reply. I scanned a few words and I might entertain myself with the rest of it later
