“I want to surrender all of my power and embrace the liberation of being entirely without the burden of choice” is a perfectly normal position to take for a person that’s looking for a BDSM partner but it is a ghastly approach to politics. It is super important to separate that sort of urge from real life because people that can only converse about the world through the language of kink are just dreadful company.
Exactly! It is important to work that stuff out in a consensual, safe and supportive environment. When people don’t do that they can end up insufferably projecting their kink onto everything, or worse actually confusing it for how they think the world should actually work. Either way blogging about AI is not going to get anybody closer to what they need
That’s absolutely what it is and it is wild that society is now watching these AI dudes work through this stuff, at a glacial pace, in the newspaper and in blogs
