To an extent. memes allow you to go back to this since memes are user generated and cheap to make their isn’t much stopping users from “going back” to a less minimalist time on those memes. I do have to say though that I think there a number of reasons as to why companies are more into minalism these days.

1. Physical media is less prevalent, everything is happening online now, and so they might just be keeping in theme with modern web/app design.

2. open source software is more prevalent and because of this, why would companies innovate at all if the interfaces are available to them for free.

3. apple does it, and everyone has to follow apple. it’s the trend in business.

There are going to be ai’s that tell users to kill themselves or not to. Depending on how well they are trained or set up by the creator and how the user is acting towards the ai. It’s not just one factor all those factors are linked to how the ai will respond so i’m not particularly victim blaming.

I do have to ask why you bring up a news anchors fetish when we’re talking about the potential of an ai chat bot helping someone with suicidal issues. It really just sounds like you have a bias against ai and aren’t taking into account the potential of preventing suicide for a person when they have no one they feel comfortable to talk to.

However it is important to know the context of these cases. Ai character creators are able to make ai characters (on platforms like character ai) and are able to direct the behavior of the ai to how they would want. Now Gemini and grok on the other hand, ai’s like that where no one knows where Google or Musk are guiding them i’l acknowledge might not be as trustworthy because on character ai the user knows up front how the ai is intended to behave by the creator. If the user want to make a modification to the ai’s behavior or vibe they can literally just tell the ai character how they want the ai to behave and it will adapt. So ai does certainly have the potential help people with their tramas through conversation.

I think ai can be usefull in cases like this. Especially in a case where a person who is literally about to commit the suicide. Ai might not be 100% accurate but if it can prevent someone from taking their life by offering some support, that is a positive thing.

This actually was attempted before, isps were trying to prevent states from passing their own net neutrality laws.

It might be a mistake. Even if it was intentional. It could be a reputational mistake, or it could just be an error. Knowing who owns this bot however, I don’t trust that it wasn’t an intentional programming error.

lol. My take away from this meme is.

The debate is, which flavor with Linux under the hood, should we use. and that’s the debate.

Rage baiting is not nice. Stirring drama; is not nice. If you had a point to make, I think it would had been taken better. Rage baiting is not nice.

He banned you for a what seemed like a lot of different issue, but most notably, from you just saying your viewpoint (or the way you phrased your responses) and I don’t see a ban justified for this, however if there is even one rule you are actually violating they can ban you. I didn’t see anything personally wrong with the conversation on your side, you were mostly calm seeming and decent.

I think that the definition could exclude authoritarianism. However, the way it ended up implemented in popular examples people may point to, is what people see communism as being like. Possibly that’s what he might had felt about it as well base don some of his responses .

I don’t think correcting this perception of communism would require a specific type or form of communism, but rather just simply do vanilla communism upfront. What I mean by that is, without centralized authoritarianism. Communism by definition, is suppose to be stateless, and classless and a lack of currency. (lack of currency can be hard to achieve for imported goods, so I wouldn’t be as upset over that one not being perfect day one.) however, classless and stateless as a foundation shouldn’t be difficult. Achieving it in peace with everyone around might be another story, but actually applying it seems simple.

If some countries had actually applied it, then the issue was, there wasn’t a large number of them applying it this way and because of that, communism is known for being authoritarian to many, when it is not suppose to be like that.

From some of what I could tell the mod, goat likely thinks of communism as dictatorship due to various countries in history. I think an ideology should be based plainly on the ideology itself and people should’t judge an idealogy just based off of how it was abused.

If an ideology itself at its core is encouraging dictatorship then people won’t want to associate or talk in good faith. Even if it isn’t, if an ideology has a bad reputation, no one will want to risk it even if someone tells them that a variation is better.

I do believe the mod ‘goat’ might had had a negative bias against communism. Many do, and it’s just due to the association. Perhaps communists, and idk if you agree with this or not, but perhaps communist should start fresh, and create a newer, modern, and improved ideology for todays times. I believe for that as long that communist keep using the communist name with a bad rep, the chances of it going anywhere are minimal.
