The term AI is very vague because intelligence is an inherently subjective concept. If we're defining AI as something that has consciousness then it doesn't exist, but if we're defining it as a task that a computer can do on it's own, then virtually everything that is automated is run by AI.

Even with generative AI models, they've been around for a while too. For example, lot of the news articles you read, especially about the weather or news aren't written by actual people, they're AI generated. Another example would be scientific simulations, they use AI to generate a bunch of possible scenarios based on given parameters. Yet another example would be the gaming industry, what do you think generates Minecraft worlds? The point here is that AI has been around for awhile and is already being used everywhere. What we're seeing with chatGPT and these other new models is that these models are now being released for public access. It's like democratization of AI, and a lot of good and bad things are bound to come of it. We're at the infancy stage of this now, but just like with the world wide web before it, these technologies are going to fundamentally change how we do many things from now on.

We can't fight technology, that's a losing battle. These AIs are here and they're here to stay. So strap on and enjoy the ride.

They're not really comparable. Crypto and blockchain were good solutions looking for problems to solve. They're innovative and cool? Sure, but they never had a widescale use. AI has been around for awhile, it just got recently rebranded as artificial intellectual, the same technologies were called algorithms a few years ago... And they basically run the internet and the global economy. Hospitals, schools, corporations, governments, the militaries, etc all use them. Maybe certain uses of AI are dumb, but trying to pretend that the thing as a whole doesn't have, or rather already has, genuine uses is just dumb

Please remember that this particular groyper meme is a literal copy of a Trump 2016 meme with the word “Trump” replaced with “Biden” and was deployed regularly by the alt-right

So what? You have to stop doubling down on this idiotic argument because it is getting ridiculous. Guilt by association and purity are heavily frowned upon and criticized throughout history for a reason. Different things have different meanings in different contexts, and you can't judge people without proper contexts and for things they're not or didn't do. This should be obvious, but for some reason it isn't.

This meme and others like it all originate from 4chan and the other imageboards similar to it, and these boards are responsible for internet's most famous memes. Just think about what has come out of 4chan for a second:

• Wojak and its variations

• Pepe and its variations

• LOLcats

• Pedobear

• Anonymous

• Rickrolling

• The popularization of Chocolate Rain

• Greentext

• Rage comics

• The ungodly origin of "Bronies"

• The Shia Labeouf fiasco

• The 4chan-Tumblr wars

• Pool's closed

They are quite literally the foundation of internet culture. Everybody who grew up on the internet was used or at least enjoyed any of these. These imageboards are built on the idea that the internet is the wild west, where everybody no matter how tame or extreme, no matter how good or evil, and no matter how pragmatic or delusional can get together and shitpost. And guess what? 4chan and these other imageboards were ALWAYS cesspools filled pedos, Marxists, neo nazis, anarchists, racial supremacists, misogynists/misandrists, and so on, but at the same time, they're also filled with a lot of normal people. Regardless, if we follow your logic, which is that anybody who has ever used any of these memes is a neo nazi by proxy then anybody who took part in mainstream Internet culture over the past 20 years is a neo nazi... which is obviously ridiculous.

Keep in mind, you're right the groyper meme did originate from neo nazis but so did many other famous memes. I mean the latest famous variation of wojak, the chud, originated from some Marxist imageboard. Marxists are just as vile as neo nazis, does that mean anybody who used the chudjak meme is a Marxist? No, that's stupid. The meme was started by Marxists, but it was used by a lot of other people, including those making fun of Marxists.

The point that I'm trying to make here is that memes serve as templates. Templates without content don't mean anything, they're just a structured blank document. Just like how symbols have different meanings in different contexts, so do these memes. If OP posted this same meme saying something like "Putin is still a great leader" then OP would be a fascist... but he's not. His meme is about Biden.

Like seriously, do you honestly believe that OP is some secret neo nazi because he used a cartoon frog meme to make a pro Biden post? Even worse, do you seriously think that I'm also a secret neo nazi by proxy for pointing out that symbols and templates mean different things in different contexts? This is where you start crossing the line from a valid critic into a paranoid schizo or McCarthyist virute signaler.

I'm not irritated, I'm just confused because your original comment didn't make sense.

👍

It means I found humor in your reply as the acronym clearly implies.

If you think an acronym like lol or lmao is an insult or an act of intimidation then you need to touch grass

Your original comment is incoherent

Lmao ok

Lmao what?

What?

I don't care, my point still stands. Your hatred of America or love for Canada is irrelevant, and so are your assumptions as to why people are moving (even they literally give you the reasons in the article). The fact remains that emigration from Canada to the US is at a 10 year high, is far above the historical average, and is increasing.

In the same year (2022), only 10k Americans immigrated to Canada. This is only 8% of the number of Canadians who emigrated to the US (126k), despite the US having 8.5x as many people.

There's clearly a very strong disconnect between what you're trying to insinuate and what's actually happening.

I'm not arguing for or against, I'm just pointing out the fact that emigration trend from Canada to the US is happening and it is at a 10 year high. I merely pointed out the reasons cited in the article as I clearly stated.
