Training good models requires lots of training data and computational resources, so the only ones who can afford to train them are big corporations with access to both. And the only objective they have is to increase their profit.

Donating blood plasma is good as it helps people in need. Sure, it sucks that there is a company in the middle making a profit, but not donating is not the solution to that problem, as it hurts the people in need more than the corporation in the middle.

I think its kinda similar to the tipping situation. Yes it sucks that restaurants don't pay their employees properly and that you have to tip to support the employees. But not tipping hurts the employees rather than the restaurant owner.

In both cases, if we want change, we need to change the legislation.

It sure is easy to portray your country as successful, clean and beautiful if you don't allow any free press to contradict you.

It's not like I hate other operating systems, I just really like the idea of FOSS and try to use it whenever possible.

I know in Germany murder is still murder if the murdered person consented to it.

Also, an autopsy isn't just "randomly cutting someone apart". The point of an autopsy is to determine a person's couse of death and doesn't just involve cutting the dead person open. You being alive means that an autopppsy, by definition, cannot be performed on you.

What you want is someone to mutilate and kill you. I'm pretty sure you can find someone willing to do that.

Side note: I think you overestimate how long you will stay conscious when the blood starts flowing, painkillers don't fix your brain running out of oxygen.

I reject that kind of black and white thinking. We don't have to classify people as either "cool" or "uncool", or "good" and "bad". We can criticize one thing someone does, while also praising something else that they do.

So how is straight incest different? If lesbian incest is harmless, how is straight incest not?

Humans have other senses besides sight you know? Taste, touch, smell and sound are all heavily involved in sex. And if you can sense them, you can imagine them. Do you need to see your partner to get aroused?

(Also, a majority of blind people have not always been blind, so I imagine many of them still also imagine what someone looks like)

Do they? I'm pretty sure only about one in three humans works in food production. I think it is reasonable for them to expect the other two to give them something for their food in return.

It's nice to have something to eat.
