Like all technology, it's not question about it itself but rather how it's used.

That's absolutely not the point of higher education, don't drag it down to the level of industry please.

> CS wasn't supposed to be a programming boot camp anyway, it is at its heart an academic degree much close to pure mathematics than programming. Maybe it should go back to that? Maybe college never should have been for everyone?

That's absolutely what I think, since even before the proliferation of LLMs.

> I can think of no example in history of the entire world deciding to just forsake the development of a technology because it seemed like it could prove to be too dangerous. The same psychological logic always applies.

I wish they did before too.

Why the hell are you downvoted? It's an undeniable fact that the US defense industry profits off the mass murder of civilians including literally burning families alive as we bomb their homes.

> The problem with a very broad definition of violence is that it permits a pretty barbaric worldview. If I cut someone off in traffic, or if a careless administrative action on my part costs someone money that then puts them in a financial pickle that month, is that violence? Do I then deserve to be tracked and assaulted? What about the doctor who is complicit in the refused treatment because the insurance company won't pay a bill?

That's resolved with proportionality.

Cut me off in traffic? No biggy

Cut me off from my healthcare when I have a terminal illness? Biggy

Well if we're going off of total user counts of platforms, Twitter is pretty niche. I'm on every social media besides it. I couldn't stand it before Musk and I can't stand it now.

How do you reconcile violence between democracies then?

What happens when two democracies go to war?

If it were WWII, I'd support the military violence of my government against the democratically-elected Hitler.

Similarly, I think violence against the genocide-supporting US government and elite is permissible today even if it was “democratically-elected” (not that I think a choice between two Zionists counts as a real choice).

> Then it’s not categorically evil.

I disagree.

> If it is, change the laws. Anywhere.

Tell me who I should vote for this next election cycle to do that.

> Yup, not okay with the precedent that anyone affiliated with our military deserves summary execution. Because then someone will justify the same for anyone affiliated with Greenpeace or the Sierra Club or who shops at Target.

I think it's a false equivalency to draw a line between an organization that kills children and an organization that campaigns for the protection of the environment.

Sure.

No, people don't have the right to self-defense against self-defense. The provocator doesn't get that.

If fixing it is an option, sure. I don't think it's a given that it is.
