      My response to your :reddit-logo: tier putdown was just garbage out for your garbage in.

      weird how this topic immediately makes people abandon materialism completely and jump straight to idealism and emotional reasoning

      There's nothing there in your "case" as presented for me to respond meaningfully to. You provided only self-congratulation followed by insults.

      You lamented the lack of Materialism(tm) (as in, implied agreement with you without any actual case made) without any presented substance, just a word drop and :expert-shapiro: style hostility toward your perceived opponents. You have facts, they have feelings. You are holding the Materialism(tm) totem because you say so, they are creatures of mere idealism and emotions. Fap fap fap fap fap fap.

        i merely pointed out the idealistic nature of your arguments, because I can tell from looking elsewhere that making a whole case to you is pointless -- you literally just got done saying that you don't care if there's no way to stop or even mitigate the technology from being used. There is literally nothing else to do but dunk on you.

        This isn't the first topic where people are like this, and I am sure it will not be the last, so why shouldn't I be efficient about it? Very strange how every topic where people behave like this is linked to sex in some way, though.

          :expert-shapiro:

          I find your particular understanding of what you think materialism is to be reductionist to the point of being reactionary, elsewhere in this thread. If I wanted to, I could extrapolate further on your "living thinking human beings have no intrinsic worth beyond the machines putting them out of work" and frankly ask you what is the point of workers of the world uniting against the bourgeoisie in the first place if you're doing a crude reductionist take on the human brain versus data collection and reprocessing programs. If the machines are humming along and the mere meat-sacks are brushed aside, all should be well, by that reductionist take that ignores who owns the machines, the means of production, the "AI" itself, and who is pushed further into precarity and who receives and profits from all of that dubiously acquired data.

          But I won't. You came here to sneer and condescend to people you see as inferior to you. Contempt for emotions is still an emotional response, by the way.

          Very strange how every topic where people behave like this is linked to sex in some way, though.

          It's even more "strange" as you put it just how much your favored side of this thread is selectively ignoring or dismissing the relevant and real sex-related issues of the technology (and that the entire point of the OP was about sex abuse applications of it). Revenge porn is real and affects real people, same with deepfakes. The selective ignoring or outright contempt of human suffering isn't Materialism(tm) except in the coarsest, crudest, and most selfish reading of it.

          why shouldn’t I be efficient about it

          Sure, and I in turn could provide all the "efficiency" that you and your Emotionless Rational Human Machine of Pure Materialist Logic LARP deserves and just efficiently post "fapfapfapfapfapfapfap" to reflect what you've done here so far in any further replies to me here.
