At 9.50pm AEDT yesterday, there was a sudden spike in trading on the oil and S&P 500 futures market.

6.50am New York time is an unusual time for a rush on trades on West Texas Intermediate May futures.

But it showed that all of a sudden, a substantial sum of money was bet on oil prices dropping and the stock market rising.

      AI is happening whether people want it to or not.

      As long as people aren’t submitting AI art as authentic and profiting off it, it’s not worth raising your blood pressure over.

      The person you’re responding to doesn’t appear to be doing either.

        Pushing back against something that’s harmful to society isn’t wrong. Deeper AI may be coming whether we like it or not, but it’s insane to discredit the idea that railing against unethical usage and implementation is pointless. Your argument that the person using it in this insurance is guiltless is just not correct. They are contributing to a product that is undeniably harmful to the environment and obliquity harmful to actual artists and content creators in general
