the reality is if enough ethical 'principled' people want things to change, it's possible

the fact that things are clearly getting worse is a sure sign of not enough ethical people

Yes, including humans. But ostriches are likely to attack everyone.

I kinda agree but background music should be just that; like wallpaper. If you actually hear the music, it's too loud, your paying too much attention to it or both. Most venues are way too loud which just inhibits conversation and limits socialization, meanwhile, a lot of musicians are vain and want their music to dominate the place. Louder is not better except at heavy metal concerts.

Of course, if copyright law wasn't corrupted, most of this music would already be in the public domain, as it should be.

It's not a like, it's a need. People need to see themselves as 'justified' so they rationalize. This is lying to oneself, the very beginnings of mental illness. Indeed, mental health is grounded upon both self-honesty and critical reasoning. People make choices and those choices effect the people making them the most.

being without ethics and not have a sense of morality is the very definition of sociopathy, there's nothing rational about mental illness

Over 8 billion people have an IQ under 100%.

98% of traffic problems on highway 17 are caused by dipshits who should never be allowed to use the left lane. 1% are caused by that one dip in the fast lane on the EB side that they don't seem to be able to fix ever. The remaining 1% are caused at the first exit on the inland side when it's busy.

Before Teslas even existed I was passing the clowns who don't know what a passing lane is for on the right on the 17. The only meaningful difference between then and now is that there's more drivers, including more of those clowns. Well, that and that the speed limit used to be 65, so more competent drivers could make it over the kill. Of course, it was killing incompetents, so they reduced the limit and we all have to suffer. This is what happens when you design your nation around the car.

Kurzweil predicts machines with human-level intelligence will be available from affordable computing devices within a couple of decades, revolutionizing most aspects of life. He says nanotechnology will augment our bodies and cure cancer even as humans connect to computers via direct neural interfaces or live full-time in virtual reality. Kurzweil predicts the machines "will appear to have their own free will" and even have "spiritual experiences". ~ Wikipedia

Ostriches aren't really domesticated, just in captivity. They are not your friend. Even people who keep them have to take precautions because sometimes they flip their shit and attack, and they can kill you.

What is it with us? We understand we don't really understand. You on the other hand falsely believe you've got it all figured out when clearly that's impossible. Your beliefs are no different than anyone's else's beliefs except your to arrogant to understand the limits of your understanding. Just remember, you're the one claiming there's nothing you don't understand, all we're doing is accepting the possibility that's there's more than we can understand.,

Besides, your need to be insulting speaks volumes about you.

You don't seem to understand the purpose of a press release.

Nah, there's some for-pay ones. I want all that AND I want it to be free too :D

The paper releases dust and fibers, which is why the correct tool is a foam swab.

That too has to be correct, though, or it will release dust. This is especially true if it is aged, so the foam swabs have to be fresh.

IPA is the correct solvent.

How much Intel stock do you have? Is it actually legal for you to mod me down?

There are a whole bunch of examples of LLMs which have access to actual resources, so that's completely false. Why don't you go somewhere else and talk about things you know nothing about?
