Post content should stand on it's own, not by whatever name is associated with it.

Welcome to fantasy land! No, wait, you should be welcoming us.

The site would be far better if every post was anonymized.

Explain why post quality goes up every time AC comments are disallowed.

And now you'll whine that I can't make those claims since my account is only a year old despite me reading this site since the 2000s, which only proves my point further.

No, I will not. IDGAF when someone got here, only about the quality of their ideas. I will complain that you're being an ass clown and making shit up, though, because your ideas are crap.

It's more likely that he's speaking out against what he feels is the de-humanization of culture and mankind at the hands of AI

Historically, the church's record has not been so great. Recently they have promoted more positivity, which is nice, but they're still keeping a shit ton of unacceptable secrets about people harming people. They're also sitting on a lot of stolen wealth. Let's see them practice what they preach before we're expected to take that preaching seriously.

That's because the image of a Luddite is a thought terminating cliche. It's something specifically designed to prevent you from questioning technology by terminating any thought about the impacts of technology.

That's why I like to regularly remind people that the Luddites weren't just about smashing things because they liked smashy smashy, the premise was that the increases in productivity from machinery should benefit humanity and not only the owning class, because of the effects on employment.

The Luddites were having exactly the same argument we're having now, and as it turns out, they were right. Also, the side argument is the same now as it was then, except then they were arguing about steam engines burning coal, and we're now arguing about natural gas turbines.

When someone says Luddite, say fuck yeah! Here's to the fucking Luddites!
