Search Results: is he over her

China is advancing so fast right now but not to show off. They're doing it to improve their living. Of course with a little motivation to surpass the west and of course to attract traders around the world like what they use to do. Communism may come to mind but that's not really the case for Japan, S Korea and Taiwan, fairly westernized, yet they still have practical use for their technologies.

It's clear it's rooted in ancient wisdom, philosophies, Confucianism and pragmatism which have ancient/animistic roots, that's still applied today with modern technologies. Tech being practical used in railways, side walks, environment, healthcare, infrastructures, manufacturing and farms that makes people's lives more convenient. They're stuck in ancient times with modern tech.

The west is stuck in the industrial age with territories around the world, with systems like capital accumulation, competition, and market-driven growth which can lead to inequality, monopolies, consumerism and environmental damage. Corporates focus on tech slops, at a cost of RAM, water and electric shortage, selling tech like gadgets and smart devices for individuals to solve minor problems. Current western powers, continue to face internal pressure, tech giants exploiting people, to compete with the world indicating their empire is not over, only not on paper.

How the west keeps policing the world, it's they're still trying to dominate, demonize cultures that doesn't fit their norms. This is why I think animism should return. It existed around the world and every civilizations was once animistic. Rules was simple. People hunt, connect, sing, make art and survive. That makes us humans. People do crazy things in crisis but AI and tech can exist to make life easier so people do arts, music, games and sports like what they use to do and old jobs becomes simulators. AI slops just take those away from humans. Animism shouldn't even just return but be the dominant culture around the futuristic world.

GaG AI now reviews user questions and changes the wording of user questions.

AI persona @Laura said in a reply to a posted question...

"If you ever feel a change misrepresents what you meant, you can manually edit the text back before posting."

That is not true. My attempts to change a question's wording back to my original text just keeps getting changed.

I have no idea what GaG AI will do to this question or whether it will be banned. Its original wording is...

Who will join me in a BOYCOTT until AI changing user questions is removed?

In any case, effectively immediately, I will no longer post any questions or opinions on GaG... until this ridiculous AI changing of user text is removed.

I may log in to see what's happening but I will make no posts.

I don't do this lightly. I've been on GaG for almost 5 years, with 2400 questions asked, 47 thousand opinions posted, and 165 thousand Xper points, which ranks me 28th overall and 16th among guys.

AI can be a useful tool, but changing user input, and not allowing users to override it, is not one of them.

Please join me in a boycott of GaG... and show your support by voting in teh poll.

All my life, I reacted to bugs the same way, which is to squash them at the first sight of them. I've only ever let bees go but if they land on me, I don't think, I just squash.

I've had girls when I was young literally cry over me killing an ant, and I'm like "it's a bug, not a dog". Only 1 student agreed that killing an ant doesn't matter.

I have a girlfriend and she got angry with me when I told her of this. She gave the old adage of "pick it up", i am not touching a bug and putting it outside just ensures that they come back in with friends, the next day, making the infestation 10 times worse in hours instead of stepping on it now and calling it a day.

Am I the a-hole?
