yes. but “there are too many people” is just a tired white supremacist trope; there are not too many people out there. (the “non-white” is usually silent in these statements. this is also how some people can be both pro- and antinatalist.)

nah. there are too many billionaires though.

…and i told that person that nothing good is waiting on that path.

i don't understand the question – are you asking what makes arbitrary the rule “people who suffered harm because they followed an advice on the internet do not deserve to survive” ?

it's not darwinism, what you're playing with is casual eugenics (you clearly don't value life of certain – arbitrarily chosen – people, and are fine with them suffering harm); don't. there's nothing good waiting for you on that path.

i understand the spirit, but putting out harmful disinformation is not a good method to combat the large language model land grab we're seeing right now.

stross' artificial intelligences are very unlike corporations though, and different between the books. the eschaton ai in singularity sky is quite benevolent, if a bit harsh; the ai civilization in saturn's children is on the other hand very humanlike (and the primary reason there are no meatsacks in saturn's children et al. is that humans enslaved and abused the intelligences they created).

the eugenicist language and narrative should've been at least strongly challenged

for people who thought this might not be related to the llm brainworms, the reasoning of the iterm2 author for inclusion of the feature (when promptedy by @gerikson@awful.systems) :

I got a number of requests. I also got tired of copy-pasting things to ChatGPT. Usually if I find a feature useful, other people do, too.

Seirdy's. Seirdy's fedinuke list is a perfect starting point; and you might want to review his tier0 blocklist (you will probably apply almost all of these).
