No matter the tool (AI, computers, guns, cars, hydraulic presses) there will be somebody who abuses it,

Hydraulic press channel guy offended you somehow? I'm missing something here.

No, just an example. But if you’ve ever noticed the giant list of safety warnings on industrial machinery, you should know that every single one of those rules was written in blood.

Sometimes other bodily fluids.

The machines need to be oiled somehow.

🤨 vine boom

Either Darwin awards or assholes, most likely. Those warnings are written due to fear of lawsuit.

I don't think they're offended. I think they're saying that a tool is a tool. A gun or AI are only dangerous if misused, like a hydraulic press.

We can't go around removing the tools because some people will abuse them. Any tool can kill someone.

Guns have no other purpose though, they shouldn't be lumped in with the rest of that list (except hunting rifles and so on, for folks that actually need them).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's purposely obtuse. Of course guns have a purpose, you even listed one.

Not sure why I keep trying to talk about this with Americans, my bad. You're completely right!

[–] [email protected] -3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Sure, get needlessly antagonistic, provoke a response, decide to run from the confrontation you caused, and I'm the childish one. Fuck outta here.
