I have a nuanced take on therapy. We're over therpaized as a society. And our mental health is being manipulated by our food and water supply basically being pharmaceuticals and our media bombarding us with negativity and false depictions of what life is. No problem with it existing or even going. But traditionally therapy had an end date. These days it's treated as a subscription service.
On the AI water arguments, you guys realize that the water isn’t WASTED right? Same thing with chip fabs they take nuts amounts of water but recycle 90% of it such that it becomes relatively small usage. The numbers they use to shoot at how bad AI facilities are is are mostly from max flow rates and disregards recycling. No waste products are being introduced into the water unless you wanna consider heat going into the pipes and some metals getting dissolved in.
the amount of energy and water its using, and co2 its immiting is destroying the environment at a rapid rate. they put the server centers in small rural areas & older folks are developing COPD alarmingly all while being asked to use less power in their homes. its horrifying and dystopian.
yeah, the amount of energy i use altogether is like a fraction of a breath compared to an ai data center. we will not grow old or have clean, affordable drinking water later in life. you are being wilfully ignorant to the information that is at your fingertips because you "like" AI, you can just say that.
oh yeah all the benefits like how illiteracy rates are skyrocketing because “the computer can just read and write for me”. Also you saying “it’s all fine” is so untrue, even phones pollute! But AI is polluting and using water at an even greater, unprecedented rate. Phones and nuclear power are not even comparable to AI data centers. Obviously we need to address all things contributing to pollution and climate change but acting like AI isn’t an extremely significant factor in that is insane.
also I’d like to point out that not everybody “throws out” their phones when a new one comes out like you said. I had an iphone 6 for nine years before I had to upgrade due to software issues. Obviously the trash is bad and nobody is saying it isn’t! The fact is though that we can admit both AI and trash pollution are bad and you can’t.
But it IS a big deal!!! That’s the part you’re not getting. How is unprecedented rates of water usage not a big deal? And according to your argument, shouldn’t any amount of pollution be a big deal? Since you keep getting upset that we’re not talking about every single other issue as well? It’s all a big deal jfc it’s like talking to a brick wall 😭
lmfao ive been watching this comment thread all day 😭😭😭 but yeah.... AI IS A BIG DEAL. it is disrupting the very foundation of the economy, society, and even how we even speak and how our minds work. be in denial all u want buddy. its all fun and games until all of our jobs are gone, the environment is fucked beyond repair, and everything we consume had no human spirit. lock in
please do a tiny bit of research I’m begging you. AI accounts for much less than 1% of our power consumption and freshwater usage. computation is one of the only parts of our current society that is sustainable. the way we eat and commute need to be radically restructured if we want our species to survive, the way we compute does not. when you push the “but muh AI water” bullshit you are distracting from actual environmental issues, and big oil is grateful for your doing so
Most Israelis are Mizrahi Jewish, not Ashkenazi Jewish. And Ashkenazi Jewish are still of Hebraic ancestry, they are mixed, their Hebraic ancestors were expelled from Israel by foreign invaders to places like Europe. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3543766/ https://www.science.org/content/article/tracing-roots-jewishness

False, most of them are Jewish. Most Hebrews/Israelites never converted. Christianity only had a small following in Israel but a huge following in Phoenicia/Lebanon and elsewhere in the Roman Empire. There no evidence of mass conversion to Islam either, Israel has continually had a Jewish presence, though the percentage of Jewish people went down as Muslim colonizers moved in when the Rashidun Caliphaye invaded.
False, it’s the right of Jews/Hebrews to have sovereignty in their indigenous territory. It’s not mutually exclusive to Arabs having their own territory and from Arabs living in Israel or Jews living in Palestine. That’s like saying Native Americans trying to take back their territory from European colonizers made them “supremacists.” It’s like saying Poles who took back their territory from Germans and Russians at the end of WWI were “supremacists.”
Not vague locations they may have roamed, specific location they indisputably are the original inhabitants of proven via history. And they should be able to take back territory that was stolen from them. By your logic, the Poles were wrong for kicking the Germans and Russians out of occupied Poland at the end of WWI. Also, when enemy forces use civilian infrastructure for military operations maybe you should blame them for using civilians as human shields.
Archeology says otherwise. And the genetics show that Palestinians are Arab colonizers mixed with Moabites and Edomites, those people aren’t indigenous to Israel, they were neighbors. All Jews are of Hebraic ancestry and that has been proven via genetics, but you conveniently ignored the sources and studies I provided
False, the Palestinians aren’t indigenous, there’s no genocide otherwise all the ethnic Palestinians who are citizens of Israel would all be dead, and there wasn’t a genocide, taking back territory from invaders and telling them they have to leave isn’t genocide. By your logic the Allies committed genocide against the Nazis. But you probably think the Nazis were victims given the logic you’re using
False, there are no such communities that have more than a few hundred people total, the only group to exist like that were a small group of converts in what eventually became Kazakhstan. If there are others then prove it. All other Jewish groups around the world are of at least partial Hebraic ancestry. Stop being lazy and go type in the link. I gave you the evidence, stop trying to dodge it.
Hamas fighters aren’t poor starving kids, those are two different groups of people, starving kids who get shot by Hamas for trying to access airdrops and Hamas made up of adults who attack and murder others. Also, who is stronger doesn’t determine who the aggressor is. The YS was stronger than Japan but that doesn’t change the fact that Japan attacked the US first and thus is the aggressor in WWII
annddd folks, this is dude is why i made this post. this is EXACTLY what i was talking about lmao. we can see from this specimen here that zionism is an extreme ideology that excuses blowing up children, rape, torture, starvation, blocking humanitarian aid, and apartheid. these things are wrong no matter who does them. good night chat 🥀😭
No, you’re a Hamas sympathizer who’s provided no proof to your claims, and who thinks Israel should let itself be attacked and is wrong for retaliating. You’re just like the neo Nazis who bitch and cry about Hermany getting bombed in WWII. Btw, for the soldiers that did r*pe a Palestinian prisoner, they were arrested for their crimes. Try again
I already told you, you can criticize the Israeli government and still think Jews should have sovereignty. I can still criticize Hamas while thinking Palestinians should have independence just like I do. I support a two-state solution, but that still makes me a Zionist because I still believe in the sovereignty of Jews in their indigenous territory.
You think Israel should let itself get attacked and think it shouldn’t exist, not that it should “use different methods.” Hamas deserves to be destroyed just like the Nazis were 🤷♂️ collateral damage doesn’t equal war crimes/genocide, by your logic the Allies committed war crimes/genocide against the Nazis. Do you think the Allies committed war crimes or genocide against Germany? The Allies killed far more German civilians and a higher percentage of them btw
