Yes. I think we understand each other as much as we can. No worries. :) It was nice talking to you. Have a great day!

I guess you don't read what I write. I said "all you have said are correct but not enough". I don't give money to AI companies out of ethical responsibility. I just don't believe this alone is enough for any change. I don't think "vote with your wallet" is a meaningful argument. Things like "mobilize your community, take action against datacenters" etc. make sense. "Vote with your wallet" passifies people.

Corporations do not use gamepass but they use AI. Our wallet is nothing compared to their wallet. This is not one of those cases voting with your wallet will be enough, or even noticeable.

Everything you are saying I agree with. But I think it is incomplete, not wrong. During the times of slavery, you could think all humans are equal and it is reprehensible to even think about owning a human being. Many did. But people's individual opinion alone didn't change anything, for a very long time. A social movement did. Political action did.

Issee what you are saying but, under the current situation, it is impossible to vote with your wallet. Companies are the ones providing you with the options they want. We are constantly being forced too choose the lesser evil. When we get old, the lesser evil becomes the default, it s no longer evil, but normal state of affairs, and the next generation is forced to choose between two worse things and pick the lesser evil of those, while, generation after generation, we move deeper into shit. There is no voting with your wallet. There so no vote. Companies aren't democracies. There is rule of law, there is regulations, there is voting with your actual vote.

There was a tweet like that which was mich more funnily worded.

But then I won't be able to race my black-smoke-belching rolling-coal truck with my manly man buddies :(

Here where I live using AI detection tools is not allowed because they are not 100% correct, which means they might flag an innocent student.

They finally did it. They automated crime 👍

There are lots of ways computers are used for making art. Not just video-games. For example, projection mapping, algorithmic music composition, live coding, etc.

You can look into openFrameworks for examples of C++ in arts.

This is dystopian beyond Black Mirror and disturbingly real at the same time.

I'm really surprised to hear that teaching C# to 7th graders is easer than teaching them python. Python was invented to teach. It looks like pseudo code. I have almost zero experience in teaching so I trust your experience. But can you elaborate a little? What makes teaching C# easier?
