  • I am not sure. I don’t think we should punish someone that acted in good faith.

    There is a possibility (not likely) of someone not learning about the holocaust by the age of 15. In Norway you can be punished from that age and up. Maybe the person had nutjobs for parents etc. I think I learned about it at 13-14. There is a lot about it in the Norwegian curriculum, so you have to really be unlucky to not learn anything about it.

    Anyways, it is ethically wrong to punish a person that was unfortunate and did not get a proper education and parenting. How to handle those cases is difficult though. Holocaust is a pretty obvious case of something EVERYONE is exposed to a lot. There are however lots of other historical facts that a person might not know. Is thst fair to punish someone for?




  • First off, I am a bit torn here, but will take the opposing side for arguments sake.

    This is not an opinion. The holocaust happened, that makes it a fact.

    I get your point, but should disinformation (as in deliberate misinformation) be allowed? How much harm should we accept from people spreading disinformation before we do something? The harm here being antisemitism.

    Antisemitism is growing because people do not differentiate Israel and Jewish people. Many jews report that they do not feel safe in otherwise safe countries.

    This is a hard question. Not sure what I think… Might be side effects that are hard to foresee


  • People are making leaving so needlessly difficult. Do you want to leave? Just leave and say that it’s time to leave.

    “I think it’s time for me to leave. It has been great seeing you again and hanging out!”

    Want people to leave? “I am starting to feel a bit tired, so I think we got to wrap this up”

    If you are leaving a party with many people? First say goodbye to the host, then announce it to everyone. “It’s time for me to leave. Was great seeing everyone again!”

    Always say goodbye to the host, just leaving is in my opinion a bit rude. People may disagree on this.







  • I think it is simply because people are afraid and are doing their best at coping. This results in seeking validation and support. It has been a lot worse since Trump got into office.

    He is forcing everyone to pay attention all the time. One insane action after another. One goal post after another. Many things are relevant to the communities in some way. Many feel the need to fight back within their community.




  • I have seen AI “art” that has moved me emotionally, and been inspiring, increased my immersion etc.

    The AI satire video about US workers in a sweatshop factory was politically important, and made me laugh.

    I once made a picture of a cat that was busy working tirelessly in the style of Rembrandt, and it was emotionally moving. I saw myself in that cat. 🥲

    I and friends used AI for immersion when roleplaying.

    This supports your point of giving people the ability to artistically and quickly express ideas without being a skilled artist.

    I also believe that the ethical issues of ownership, and theft from authors and artists are huge issues.

    The environmental issue is not my biggest concern considering how cheap and quick some genAI can be. So all gen AI isn’t automatically seen as unethical due to environmental concerns to me.

    Also, has image generation gotten worse? I feel that all generated images are more “correct” but has this bad look to it now, that it did not previously have.
