[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9314499, member: 6801845"] Who's posturing? I accept capitalism is terrible, it's just that the other options are worse. There are things I would like to see changed, primarily having to do with limiting monopolies and oligopolies while balancing the tax burden and a few other priorities. [I]Those[/I] are things that are potentially achievable and I do what I can to support those changes, even if it's a long shot. But wishing for a world that doesn't exist and never will? I don't see the point. Same way I'm not going to shed tears over the fact that we no longer need 90% of the population to keep everyone fed. My home town may be dying but I'd rather accept reality. AI is going to continue to be a part of our lives. We can either accept that and figure how to use it as ethically as possible or pointlessly rant against the inevitable and tell other people that they may as well be mass murderers for using it. I've made my choice. [/QUOTE]
