They were tortured to death.

It shows pigs being herded into metal gondolas in groups of five or six. They are then lowered into a chamber and subjected to a high concentration of carbon dioxide gas. Pigs are seen shrieking, gasping, and writhing in apparent pain and distress.

CO2 gas stuns pigs before slaughter. Around 88 percent of pigs in the UK are killed with this method, which is widely believed to be inhumane and cruel. The gas is highly aversive, and forms an acid on wet surfaces it touches, including eyes, lungs, and throats. It supposedly takes around 60 seconds to render them unconscious, but Carbstrong’s footage showed a pig kicking after more than three minutes.

I consider myself anti-theist. I’m an agnostic atheist because I have seen no reason, evidence, or argument suggesting the existence of any god. It seems far more likely that god is vain human projection and wishful thinking.

Since god is evidently a dangerous falsehood, of course we should keep theism far away from important decision-making. I yearn for a world where grown adults don’t pretend that magic is real. It’s doing more harm than most people can see. Innocent people suffer and die every day for the baseless beliefs of others.

The trinity was invented to avoid accusations of polytheism, but as usual with religious apologetics it just adds more confusion.

Jesus, god, and the holy spirit must all be one, otherwise the religion is not monotheistic.

But if they are all one, why ever distinguish between them?

So believers arbitrarily assign different roles to their three different gods while pretending it’s all the same guy. God is immune to logic, and many christians dare not question their own salvation. It is moral and intellectual cowardice, and it is killing us all.

Yes. Physical abuse is legal in all 50 states.

After decades of mistreatment, when a person can finally live independently, they are ill-equipped to do so as a result of being mistreated. The parents face no consequences. The children’s lives are forever damaged.

It could be said that God knows beforehand all the possible steps each creature – i.e., which steps each human could take at any given moment, whether good or bad, and God also knows beforehand from eternity what he will or will not ultimately do in any given situation, knowing that sometimes he will say he is going to do something worse – and then doing either a less negative response or nothing at all. This allows God to exhibit a unique form of free will, and to show his mercy and forgiveness and holiness – qualities God values.

No, actually. This means there is absolutely no free will, god decided everything in advance.

Fuck this deadly bullshit.

God is omniscient, except for when he left the garden of eden exactly long enough for his dolls to incriminate themselves.

God never makes mistakes, except for when he flooded the entire world only to realize mankind would always be evil because he fucking made them that way.

God gave us free will, except for all those instances when he personally intervened to harden hearts or change minds.

Get rid of this cancer, please. It is killing us.

This is a dangerously stupid concept. “Free will” is a phrase invented to guilt people for decisions they were always going to make.

Hey, why did god command slave rape? “That was the old covenant.” But you said he was unchanging.

It’s all nonsense. It is an intolerable death cult. We must mature out of superstition.

Yeah. The bible is literally unbelievable, it contradicts itself. Every “believer” has their own headcanon.

can you blame him?

it is his dooty

With all due respect I’m not really sure your feelings on what constitutes humanlike matters much.

Fuck you too, shitbag.

It is not a thinking machine. But it is advertised as an agent, a personal companion, etc. Companies take turns releasing “rogue” AI to fool people into believing it can think for itself.

We have LLMs. We do not have artificial intelligence. They call it that, but it’s all marketing. It’s not remotely humanlike.

We have writing. We have machines. We have computers.

We do not have AI.

“AI” is more of a scam than a tool.

We do not yet have artificial intelligence. At all. They only call it that to scam idiots.

“Do you think a country has the right to defend itself against a group that’s openly said its goal is to destroy it?”

Yes, I do think Palestine has the right to defend itself from Israel.

After all, Netanyahu said:

In any future arrangement … Israel needs security control over all territory west of the Jordan […] This collides with the idea of sovereignty [for Palestinians]. What can you do?

https://truthout.org/articles/netanyahu-says-israels-goal-is-to-wipe-out-all-possibility-of-palestinian-state/

I can’t believe they’re trying to DARVO on a global scale. Free Palestine.

“I’d like to gently shift the focus away from that genocide.” Wow. Repugnant cowardice.

“I put millions of lines of code in a blender and kept re-rolling the output until I got something that kind of does what I want it to” will always be less efficient and more error-prone than a competent dev or team building with specific intent.

People who can’t tell the difference approve bloated code with myriad vulnerabilities. Often, AI output doesn’t actually do what it pretends to do.

If you’ve worked in any IT project, you will remember the most common issues: unclear requirements, scope creep, silos or misaligned incentives.

For AI projects, you can add to the list: “We’re not even sure this thing works the same way every time” and you’ve got a perfect storm for failure.

https://towardsdatascience.com/why-ai-projects-fail/

An annoying trend I’ve noticed in articles like this is that they still insist the AI is not to blame. Phrases like “devs love the technology,” fuck no I don’t. Or “95% of AI projects fail, but yours will totally succeed if you do it right”. It feels exactly like how the lottery exploits people’s hopes.

The steps required to make AI function are too costly to make AI worthwhile in almost every case. It was a stupid scam that too many companies fell for.

You might not be the only one:

While the results of Schauss’ study at the Naval correctional facility in Seattle showed that Baker–Miller pink had positive and calming effect on prisoners, when the same pink was employed at the main jail in Santa Clara County, California, the prison incident rate increased and even peaked compared to pre-pink months, despite a small decrease in the first month. Jail commander Lieut. Paul Becker found that the bright pink color calmed inmates after 15 minutes but had a reverse effect after 20 minutes.

Another psycho christian who thinks eternal punishment is somehow loving.

Fuck off, death cultist.

I think you lost most of us at “AI agent”.
