Yeah the dudes argument is bunk when we remember that openAI bought CAPACITY and not actual product. The market is also heavily manipulated by the big 3 players in the market.
OpenAI brazenly used their market position to create artificial scarcity. That's not normal market behavior. That's manipulation. And now we all suffer.
There's a joke in the race world that White Americans have no culture so they have to steal other people's culture.
This is relatively true and largely because the US has little history compared to other nations. That's part of why so many facets of American society and history are nonsense myths, such as the American West myth. So much of US culture and history is made up ego stuff.
Sounds like you are the one who has bought into myths created to fit a modern narrative.
Isn't the UKs historical 'shared identity' way more of a myth than the American west? I mean my grandmother from the midwest still had stories that would have fit any western novel, and her parents spoke German and were the 'poor midwest farm settler' family straight out of the west. My other grandmother has kachina dolls in her living room that her family was gifted for helping out a local village. My town has opium dens dug out next to the railroad from during it's construction. I have visited a ton of ghost towns.
The 'American West' isn't a myth, reality is just somewhat different then what actually happened. But the same can be said for any simplified history of any nations myths.
The history of white America starts when white Americans decided they were people and non-white people weren't and thus "their history" needed to be separated as "white history"
Yeah this is bad news from an environmental standpoint.
We can't stop our status symbol consumption and travel lifestyles. This is just more people to feed, which in our current broken system means more consumption and waste at insane scales.
Functional years are a big concern. A lot of people, especially self inflicted diabetics, spend the last 20ish years of their lives at home doing nothing because their self inflicted disease makes it hard.
Same with most diet or stress caused illnesses, like cardiovascular diseases or lung diseases.
