Yeah, I feel like I'm going crazy. These people have very skewed morals and perspective on life. Guess that's what happens when one sits online all day and only brews in hate.

they prioritize their comfort over collective well-being, including economic fairness and environmental sustainability.

By that logic, majority should give up their comfort and wealth for the sake of collective, because there will always be someone doing worse than others. Except you'd be hard-pressed to convince any regular persons to do so. So why should the family in the airplane? Plus take a look at this:

According to his LinkedIn profile, he founded Retention.com in January 2020 and said he grew the company to $20 million in annual recurring revenue within 3 1/2 years, without outside funding. (Source)

They only just now made came into moderate, self-made wealth. Should they immediately give it up? And I question the magnitude of the negative impact their little vacation has had on us to be honest. Just some food for thought, not every issue has to devolve into a "us vs them". I implore anyone reading to always be critical of any calls for such way of thinking.

But it shows lack of humanity. I'm pretty utilitarian, but to treat human life as an equation where removal of one human is worth 10 innocents. This road only leads to depression and nihilism and that's no way to live.

I sometimes visit TikTok like twice a year just to understand what type of media your average Joe/Jane consumes. My conclusion is that it's mindless and overly rapid content that does not sticks in the head. I could not recall anything I've consumed the day after.

But honestly it's not THAT different from watching TV/YT all night, or scrolling reddit/lemmy. I cannot recall what content I've consumed yesterday, maybe only small pieces here and there, despite watching "intelligent" content like documentaries & video essays or reading articles & news. To my brain it was simply entertainment just for that moment. A waste of my precious life.

We all consume, but few of us create.

AI slop.

AI/tech bro hate bandwagon. All aboard.

It's a hot topic. If CEO/CTO didn't want to alienate users, they should've kept their mouths shut lmao.

I dunno man, I'm in IT industry, and it's not looking pretty. Everyone around me uses AI to do their work for them, to review work for them, to write documentation, hell, some even use it to interact with other humans by letting AI write emails and even Teams messages. Fills me with dread and anger, it's antithetical to human spirit.

Rare reference. All matter must be converted into clips.

That's a sensible take. Perhaps not much will change after all. Humans were plagued with existentialism way before any thinking machines, and yet we just carried on.
