I really hate his justification because it seems incredibly selfish and short-sighted. Imagine if he murdered someone and said it wasn’t murder because it was art. It can be both, and society might also argue it is not art or should not normatively be art.

That was the prop money. I guess if they’d known he’d steal it, they would’ve used fake prop money instead.

I think the problem is this: the man was paid for his work. People don’t seem to get that.

The deal was that he was paid an amount of money to make an art piece. That art piece was supposed to use another bunch of money as props. He was supposed to then give back the prop money after the exhibition was over.

When he made his work that used none of the money, that was fine. The museum rolled with it and gave him his dues. They didn’t even ask for the prop money back when they realised he wasn’t using it.

The problem is that he’s now supposed to return the prop money that was to be used in the artwork, and he’s refusing to.

He’s already been paid, he’s just being a shit to an organisation offering a public service.

The part about sheriffs scares me as someone not well-versed in American affairs because I read previously that some sheriffs don’t believe that federal laws should apply to them and that could be good, I guess? But could also be really bad.

It is actually safe, though, and all this fear-mongering based on misinformation rather than what actually has been said by not just Japan but the IAEA (and admitted by SK) is really hindering efforts at sustainable energy.

I genuinely had students believe that what ChatGPT was feeding them was fact and try to source it in a paper. I stamped out that notion as quick as I could.

I think the problem is more that given the short attention span of the general public (myself included), these “definitions” (I don’t believe that slavery can be “defined” as good, but okay) are what’s going to stick in the shifting sea of discourse, and are going to be picked out of that sea by people with vile intentions and want to justify them.

It’s also an issue that LLMs are a lot more convincing than they should be, and the same people with short attention spans who don’t have time to understand how they work are going to believe that an Artificial Intelligence with access to all the internet’s information has concluded that slavery had benefits.

I guess the difference is we expect humans to fuck up, but autonomous driving is meant to eventually be the thing that replaces that and stops us fucking up.

To be fair, if some stranger took a cab to your house and asked to eat your food, would you pay for their cab fare back as well?

Obviously these are extenuating circumstances, and we should show more care towards refugees and especially more vulnerable classes, but to say it is their “job” is overselling their obligation.

She isn’t responsible, and I hope that was clear in my original statement. What I’m saying is agreeing with the sentiment in the original post that rather than lending support to the problems faced back home, it might conversely make things worse.

It’s not her prerogative at all, just a sad observation.

Yeah, while I am happy for her and wish nothing but the best for her, is this really going to change anything back home? How many other women have the means and training to do what she did? I guess the one thing this does is highlight to the rest of the world how terrible things are in Iran, but I’m under no illusion that this is going to improve the lot of oppressed women in Iran. They might be even more restricted from attending overseas competitions.

Your spoiler didn’t work for me on kbin’s main site - just a heads up. Maybe put the content warning at the start rather than after the spoiler? I’m not affected fortunately (though I am disgusted), but it might help others.

On the other hand, what’s the harm of a content warning? If you feel like you’re okay clicking on something you’ve been warned about, you’re not any worse off.

Number 4 also seems like basic etiquette to me. You can’t always downvote and move on if someone decides to be a dick and hits home. Why blame the victim and not the perpetrator? There’s no reason to be uncivil to begin with.

I’ve let it go, and so should you.
