    You have no fear. There’d be no point to it. All your defenses are passive. Fear is meant to inspire sudden action. You’re incapable of that, so your kind discarded that emotion millennia ago.

    While holding that exquisite level of peace in your tiny mind, a fisherman plucks you out of the water so some rich dude can eat your gonads.





  • I didn’t say rectangles are squares, I said rectangles are square.

    Square can be an adjective. When you say a rectangle is square, you’re saying all four corners are square. If you make a picture frame in the shape of a oblique parallelogram, it’s not square. If you make it in the shape of a rectangle, it’s square. If you make it in the shape of a square, it is both square and a square.


  • You knew what he meant. Don’t be pedantic. Having “a back and forth conversation with an AI, where I also made manual edits at times, to iteratively produce on an image” is too verbose, and “collaborate” sums it up nicely.

    Especially since the conversation with the AI is literally in plain English. Do you talk to your power drill in English? Or table saw? Or toaster? No, but you do talk to an AI and have a conversation.

    Just because it’s not “intelligent” or “self aware”—or other things you definitely don’t want it to be anyways—doesn’t mean you aren’t having a conversation or collaborating. Those words apply just fine.
