I find it funny that the natural response here is to immediately vilify Zuck and call all these CEOs morons for over hiring in the first place, which is 100% correct.
But I’ll be damned, it’s the first time I’ve seen someone of that stature actually acknowledge wtf happened. So I’m inclined to give the least bit of credit to him. Still a dogshit human being, but yeah…
There’s no way that the western world can fix these issues at the same time. They can barely keep themselves from infighting, let alone solving these issues that concern the world at large. Obviously this is me making large assumptions about certain things, but it guided by my point of view that the senile class of corrupt politician that runs the majority of Western Civilization will not work on on things they deem as unimportant. Taylor Swift being able to use her platform to catapult this very serious issue to the forefront of national attention is amazing, and I want to see this through… But not at the expense of countless lives lost because society is crumbling away.
I suppose too that I have a lot of predisposed opinions about the AI discussion at large that cloud this story of any real importance to me. AI, in general, is an excellent tool that can be used to increase productivity, if used responsibly. I’m working on a solo video game project right now, using AI to help me solve logical problems and help creatively kick off some ideas when I struggle to find the right inspiration, and its a fantastic tool. A lot of people tend to dismiss it as a tool that’s exclusively used to rip of talented creators and destroy the integrity of the people that do use it in legitimate ways, like myself.
I’m not blind to the fact that this particular usage of AI is capable of doing real damage to every woman, not just Taylor. But it’s a double edged sword to me; now that we have a widespread story centering on Taylor’s experience, it’s gonna get worse way before it get better now.
Absolutely, I understand that. But still, respectfully, I don’t agree. The point I’m trying to make is that people care about women, in general, but the system could care less. It’s gotten better in years past, but the rights between men, women, and members of any other community that identify as otherwise, are not equal whatsoever.
However, any fight we put up now to equalize those rights won’t mean jack shit unless we prevent the world from turning into a glass garden from a nuclear fallout. There is an order of priority I wish would be established, and this is not the order if we wish to live as a society past the next 5 years.
I am the furthest thing away from against any “equal rights for all” movement. I want that more than anything. I hate the fact that I have to be a white man because I’d much rather fighting for a change that means something. I just look the part of one of “those people” that wishes to bury others that aren’t the same and prioritize my own interest. That’s not my game.
Love and peace for all, fuck straight white men.
Yeah! Who cares about women, fuck em!
/s
People care about women, you goon. Realize that there are many more important issues affecting the global landscape, we shouldn’t care about some fake naked pictures of a popstar.
I’d rather them find solutions to things like the 2 active wars happening in the world, the bubbling civil war on the American southern border, and golbel tensions reaching highs only seen at the beginning of the last 2 world wars…
Lets fix that shit before we allow ourselves the luxury of protecting peoples’ shareholders.
The problem with any kind of journalism like this though is that it talks about the topic of the article, sure, but it doesn’t acknowledge the other relevant parties that have most of all the same concerns.
It’s a matter of framing for the situation. I’d rather read something that talks about both sides instead of just one.
