i am into accessibility and game design. i go by sysopod on other platforms as well
i have a neat trick i do, if i see someone spouting anti labor neolib garbage in the shitty forum i go to sometimes, i remember to look at their avatar and realize they are trying to be the Smart Adult Liberal on an Internet Forum for a Webcomic, while using an avatar of a Cartoon Hamster. i simply do not need to take them seriously or engage.
i recommend this technique in general.
lol. in an effort to continue down the drain, a forum i go to has made the on-topic subforum's AI thread split into two: the AI ethics thread, and the ethics-free AI thread. it is now off-topic to mention ethics, labor, or really anything other than breathless enthusiasm in the ethics-free AI thread.
that place fucking sucks so bad, dude. it keeps happening like this, too. "on topic" is basically used to remove any discussion that leans further left than Elizabeth Warren. i'm just continually embarrassed i even go there.
update: the "ethics free" AI thread has descended into constant argument over whether LLMs are sentient or if machine learning can lead to sentience or indeed what even is sentience. real David Cage hours in there. just goofy shit. i love when you set those people free to discuss amongst themselves it turns out they just want to have the most boring arguments possible.
