I wouldn’t call that hypocrisy. I’d call that cognitive dissonance. You don’t respect all life, you only think that you do.
Hypocrisy would be demanding that other people follow a standard that you don’t hold yourself. Your standard seems to be…all standards are arbitrary. You can use this “logic” to justify anything. If we can’t determine the worth of a life, then killing anybody could be justified.
it is ridiculous to pretend not to understand the quite special place that dogs occupy in human culture and society across history.
Dogs only have that “special place” because we gave it to them. What’s the argument here? Dogs have earned the right to not be treated like pigs?
Second, shoe-horning in vegan talking points is just as bad as shoe-horning in relatively fringe identity issues when discussing political and class issues.
The topic of this meme is obviously a vegan one, so I don’t see how this is shoe-horning.

No, you can’t have bigotry against software. At least, not currently.
Maybe in the future somebody will figure out how to make a sapient AI, like you see in science fiction, and then you can say that somebody is bigoted against it. We don’t have sapient AI, though, so this is simply prejudice.
Humans have been hating software since the dawn of computing. Do you get upset when people say bad things about Windows? And if not, why is it different with LLMs?
Reading a book or watching a movie requires engaging your brain in some way. This guy isn’t engaging his brain in any way whatsoever. He’s completely offloaded this onto the AI.
However, this is still better than just plopping your kids in front of the TV, because at least they have to use their imagination in some way.
I don’t get the hostility. It seemed like a pretty uncontroversial observation to me. Nobody complains about “the left”, they complain about “the far left”; nobody complains about “the right”, they complain about “the far right”. Anybody with two brain cells to rub together can observe this.
I have no idea why this would upset anybody, but it seems like I’ve triggered some people. Unless you’re just bots, in which case: deuces.
℧ theory manifest
Which political alignment in the US is pro-war now? Serious question.
It isn’t horseshoe theory if everybody agrees on it.
When do you not need a cake?
What do you disagree with?
Because it’s the USA.
I became involved because I reside in Washington County, I went to school my entire life in these schools. The things that are happening now have happened for as long as I can remember. It’s the “good ole boy” system. They protect each other and let each other get away with whatever they want, and it needs to stop.
Many such cases, tale as old as time, etc.
The people you disagree with are far right… or far left, depending upon your political orientation.
“Republicans against Trump”
AKA Democrats.
Our presidents have been committing war crimes for decades. Unfortunately, it isn’t news.
Why would you create something before there was demand for it? Seems completely backwards.
They celebrated when they turned 18…and then never spoke of them again.
I was wondering what happened to the Olsen twins after they turned 18. Apparently, they turned into ringwraiths.
agentic
Yeah, we created a new buzzword that means the same thing as “autonomous”.
Okay, well, it’s actually less good than autonomous, because you have to babysit the thing to make sure that it doesn’t shit the bed. But totally worth it! Because it’s agentic!
What would be motivating them to win? Does anybody even get fired when they lose? Do they lose any voters when they lose?
That’s funny, because complaining about the “far left” or the “far right” sounds centrist to me. It’s like you’re saying “Oh, the people closer to the center are okay. It’s those crazy extremists I have a problem with!”
If you’re anti-left or anti-right, just own it ffs. I consider myself a leftist, so I don’t bother specifying whether something I disagree with is “far right” or not; it’s all just right-wing to me. If the people on the right want to distance themselves from the extremists on their side, that’s their business. I’m not gonna make that determination for them.
That weaselly way of talking reminds me of people like Gavin Newsom who finds ICE distasteful but supports discriminating against trans women in sports. No doubt he finds the former position “far right”, but the latter one is just common sense or some nonsense. Both of those stances are extremist!
