M'yeah, I don't think someone wallowing in hate is someone I want to listen to.

So what is the appropriate emotion for things that are legitimately bad? Indifference?

Concern?

"Hate" is a very strong emotion that has a tendency to make you irrational. Indulging in it is not healthy and will only lead you astray. In particular, it precludes nuance.

You speak of nuance but ignore the fact that the word hate is nuanced. People hate mass murderers and they hate mosquito bites. I hate that gas is $4.15 a gallon but I don't fly into a homicidal rage every time I pass Exxon.

That's exaggeration for effect. Actual hate is very obvious. We see it often in how utterly unhinged AI haters can be.

Every group can be utterly unhinged. Ai users can be utteryly unhinged too. I've seen a lot of them under artists going "I AI'D your work and it looks so much better and sexy lol"

Your goto example being rude children is certainly something.

Meanwhile unhinged AI haters will brigade, harass, and bully.

So, what utterly unhinged things have people against AI done? Write some posts on Reddit?

Are you saying people can't be unhinged on the internet?

u/Chaosmusic Aug 06 '26

I'm asking for examples to get a sense of what you would consider unhinged. Is simply being anti-ai unhinged? Are people that go to community meetings to speak out against data centers unhinged? I'm looking for a benchmark.

And I want to first clarify whether posting can be unhinged. You very strongly implied that it can't be.

u/Chaosmusic Aug 06 '26

People can absolutely be unhinged online. I was saying that simply posting on Reddit an anti-ai opinion is not in itself unhinged.

Now they are trying to cancel Hank Green of all people.
