A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!
The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.
Content Rules:
- Self posts preferred.
- Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
- No spam or self promotion.
- Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.
Commentary Rules
- Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
- Stay on topic.
- Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
- Provide credible sources whenever possible.
- Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
- Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
- Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).
Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

I'm going to treat that as a legitimate question. At least the fossil fuel industry is burning the planet as a necessity (sadly we could have started phasing them out long ago but failed), GenAI is just burning the whole fucking planet for ponzi schemes, disinformation, and fun. AI output degrades every product it touches, makes every industry worse, lays off workers, and enriches only the worst human beings imaginable. In social contexts it's an insult to put in zero effort into a human connection but instead pass them the ground up dismembered fragments of human interaction, a soulless non-connection forged by your apathy an incompetence.
As for images, I just feel that an Image post should be about the image, by making an image post about some unrelated contexts you're abusing the format.
Okok, all that is well and good like I said, but... What other options do we have (like it says in the body)? 🙂 "Current system is bad" – I agree and continue with "but what should it be and how do we achieve that", to which yoh reply "current system is bad" 🙃
Oh nevermind youre talking about why you hate AI...
