Bruv I don’t think I could forget that stuff is happening just because I’m not reading it.

Kinda shitty to assume all Americans are responsible. There’s a lot of people here who tried to keep this stuff from happening and fought against it, and still are. If it’s not cool to paint the French with a broad brush it isn’t cool to do that to everyone in the US.

Oh man that’ll be rough, a lot of tech we have is because we have tech from the past. So it’ll be kinda like a Dr Stone situation but without the obnoxious main character.

Ok so, cutting away at the chaff here, your answer was diplomacy.

That’s a have waving, dismissive and ignorant take.

First of all, you’d have to have something you can negotiate with. Something the other side wants that they don’t have. What, exactly, do the American people have that Trump doesn’t have already? He’s already got control over the American people, either through propaganda or force. If you’re thinking that the one card we have is our labor, and also think the military can obliterate us from space, then you might want to look up how the military was used through like, all of labor history through the US. Or South America.

Second, diplomacy and negotiation with whom? The Trump? The guy who’s known for not negotiating? Who goes back on every word? Negotiation comes from people trusting they are going to keep their word and Trump absolutely will not. And do you want a whole new human rights organization to throw on the pile that’s already being ignored, or do you want to utilize a new one?

Third, negotiation has been tried. Democrats “negotiate”, make concessions (which is an inevitable part of negotiating) and we get what? Just a slide to the right each time. You really want to negotiate with fascists?

Fourth, you’d also have to get everyone who’s opposed to Trump and the Republicans to organize, agree to what the terms are, and send representatives. That alone is a Herculean effort. You can’t get along with people on Lemmy, how are you going to get people to agree nationwide? Assuming you don’t get assassinated in the attempt, what negotiating power do you even have of they even would deign to meet with you?

Fifth, the military does have it’s weaknesses. A lot of soldiers do have problems with attacking us citizens in a full on war. Some would even defect. And the us military has a real hard time dealing with guerilla warfare, just look at Vietnam. Especially with supply chain issues because of the tariffs, and if there was a dismantling of the supplies and communications on the home front. So dismissing it out of hand as impossible is jumping the gun I think.

My point is that, while nonviolent revolution is a useful tool, I don’t think it’s the only tool that should be used, and we should keep other options open.

I think a lot of this hinges on what the one million humans are like. You said in another comment you were thinking of them to be mind blanked, but wasn’t sure.

So do these people have their memories? Are they from our earth? Do I get to pick and choose who I can take there? Are they clones or the original?

This can really change what the answer would be and how someone would go about answering your question.

Edit: also what resources are available on new earth? Is it a copy of what we have now, or is it like a blank slate with nothing but nature?

My friend worked at Subway for a few years and after a while you try weird stuff just to see if it’s good, and one of the best things is an oatmeal raisin cookie wrapped in pepper jack cheese.

Also sharp cheddar on apple pie is a Yankee tradition and really good.

Not to rag on your wife but New Yorkers have the worst opinions on pizza. If it’s not made in New York in some corner pizza store they say it’s the worst pizza in existence. They get mad that Chicago Pizza exists. I think if they knew Detroit Pizza existed they would explode.

I’ve had New York pizza. It’s mid. It’s fine. It’s ok. It’s not the best pizza in the universe guys. It’s convenient because there’s no place to sit anywhere and you can walk and eat it by the slice. I swear they have some sort of collective Stockholm syndrome about it.

Man, y’all people think we don’t know what “implying” something is or what “reaching a natural conclusion” is. Going “oh well that’s not what I said” isn’t a gotcha. I swear reading comprehension is at an all time low if you think everything has to be said directly.

So ok, I’ll bite, what’s your glorious solution? What should we do oh wise one?

Ok so what, work within the system? The clearly ineffectual system which isn’t working?

It’s been pretty well documented, and you’re still an asshole for laughing at dead children. It doesn’t matter if you try to dress it up by pretending to be rational, you’re still an asshole.

Dude, I live within walking distance of like, three galleries, including one I’ve sold at.

You’re kind of an idiot and an ass, so maybe pull your head out sometime, you’ll have fun.

Prove to me artists use AI because all the artists I know absolutely loathe it and refuse to touch it. You’re in denial and also refusing to answer my questions, so let me ask you a different one.

Why do you like AI so much to defend it? Why do you think artists use AI when so many are saying otherwise?

No, I’m talking to you, there’s 10 million dead babies and you’re just going lmao correlation lululul

What if someone’s yum is yuking on someone else’s yum?

Artists don’t use AI at all bud. And it certainly doesn’t help you in any professional capacity.

So answer me, why are you trying to die on this hill? Why are you so bitter about the art world and why do you think you can’t draw?

You’re being an ass, laughing at a situation with a bunch of dead babies, trying to look smart. Knock it off.

Cool so you do that instead

Oh child you didn’t have to say those things for them to be obvious. How exactly do you think ai is helping the art world, and also, you know, answer the other questions.

Ok so how about we cut to the quick of it.

Why do you feel so bitter about the art world?

Why do you think ai would actually help people in the art world?

Why do you feel like the people you’re talking to are less informed about this subject than you?

Why do you feel like you can’t make art?

“Linux is great ha ha you just have to know which one you want and they are all vague and technical ha ha if there’s a problem just program a solution yourself you know programming ha ha we’re not a cult I swear anyway I told my grandma she’s a piece of shit because she didn’t want to switch to Linux even though she doesn’t own a computer I only yelled at her for five hours straight about it”

Though for real I might actually try it out, I like open source stuff and my friend said it’s not hard.
