    But they didn’t say anything pro-AI. At most they were anti-anti-AI mob, which is just reasonable, as is with any “mob”. And I read mob here as mindless parrots that keep repeating talking points and hating for the sake of conformity.

      Being anti-anti something is being pro-something. That’s the beauty of the double negative.

      Also that’s just a very pro-AI user, so the intent can be inferred

        You’re conflating two different somethings. Anti-AI mob is not the same as AI. Being against mob mentality doesn’t make you inherently pro AI.

        It’s possible to be pro or anti mob mentality and AI in various different combinations.

        Okay but why would anyone be anything but over-the-top against anything on your list?

        I mean, like, everything you listed is dog shit.

          Because sometimes in life there are nuances and it is possible to mention one of those topics in a neutral manner, but the absolute hostility held here against anyone who tries to have a conversation beyond “_____ sucks ass!” is exhausting.

          That’s what I keep fucking asking, Like how can anyone with half a brain be okay with any of them?
