True, very true, it’s a trade-off, I guess.

I do think the far left can be just as unreasonable though (or could be, if given the means/opportunity). Possibly they don’t express/execute it as the far right does, which explains your point of view, which is completely valid also.

But I get your point: the far right has misconstrued the far left to some extent regardless. with media manipulation, etc.

I’m not disagreeing with your point from a legal definition, I’m just saying the far left can also spout venomous speech which, though it might not be considered ‘hate speech’ from a legal standpoint, can be as bad as in terms of its content.

I agree with the horseshoe theory — or, as Parker put it, people on the far left and far right are pretty much the same.

Then again, I guess it is, to some extent, a moot point, since anyone can spout venom if they are pushed hard enough regardless of left, right, above or beyond.

You don’t have to be right wing to spout hate speech. Modern Social media does have a lot of hate speech in any case (right wing grifters too, and yes there is some overlap, but there also isn’t too).

Let me get this straight: the land that bred the fascist regime has racist elements???

Who would’ve guessed.

you’d be surprised to see how the Italians treat black people

Can it be worse than that of the Borgias, Medicis, Sforzas, Popes, etc. of the common people. And people wonder why Italy is a shithole with this sort of history? I’m with you on that one

No problem. Didn’t think it would be him, but was literally the only gray haired old Australian political activist I could think of.

Not that Peter tachiel fellah (idk his politics but that description matches him)

But also, you wouldn’t put a dog in charge of decisions about someone’s life

No of course not, I was just drawing a comparison on responsibility is all.

As for the AI stuff, good point. Do you think that the reason we don’t hold them accountable is so that AI doesn’t get reduced?

I’ll be sure to read

Ah, I see. So it’s more like a ‘tipping point’ that’s built up over a long time?

social media, which is completely flooded by hate speech.

Well, you’re not wrong there.

Thats interesting, good explanation.

But isn’t that like saying ‘we can’t hold the dog owner responsible for the dog ripping the child to death’? Surely whoever oversees the AI is accountable? (I’m not really up on AI law tbf)

Do you think that the boost has more to do with the fact that the general political mainstream is collapsing (i.e. perceived as useless) across multiple nations all at once? I mean, we’ve had wealthy businessmen pretty much all throughout history, so is this like a ‘trigger event’, so to speak?

It’s like mind control the way they use things (e.g. advertising, social media) to influence people to vote, not just right, but far-right

Fair point. So you believe that the inclusion of AI, even in these roles, would be more harmful?

So does this (sort of) prove the concept at least?

I understand that. But what about an administrative role? Like, for example, organising a database in that context?

No, I don’t know. That’s why I was asking, I’m interested but I don’t know in particular depth is all

Can you elaborate? I mean, we’ve had deaths in surgery for as long as surgery has existed, why would AI be different (better or worse?) thanks

I agree. I think you’ve got what I was trying to say there as best as I could explain it.
