I'm sorry to hear that, if everything is political to you I imagine you must be experiencing a very hard life situation.

I fit the stereotype of the cynical old anarchist to a tee.

I don't have a reason to make it all political because in my country we have a lot of support from the Gov.

So, you're saying it is all explicitly political but you get to pretend that it isn't because... why, exactly?

impair the creative process

Not for me. It was a tool to help me execute my creativity a lot like photoshop. I didn't had to spend 3/4 days modeling.

Sounds to me like you missed out on 3/4 days of creating artwork and are allowing your creative skills to atrophy just like how people's critical thinking skills deteriorate when they let LLMs do the thinking for them.

copyright infringement

Well I don't have a word here because I pirate shows, movies, book etc. Have you ever?!

I'm a furry. We pay our artists very well for their work and get extremely pissed when corporations try to use it without permission or compensation.

asshole bosses

My boss can't really do that in my country because we have strict labour laws and very powerful unions, if that is not your experience your country should vote better

For who? The only options on the ballot here are all anti-union.

I'd be dosappointed

well besides the fact that you suck the joy out of a fun gift,

One of my partners collects those cheap vinyl figurines that get made of everything. He has never once had fun with them.

you are focusing on the bad side of tech but a lot of good can come from it.

Ah yes, a lot of good can come from making more cheap, flammable tchotchkes to clutter up our houses with.

In the 90s we didn't had DNA technology and new tech + great minds, turned it possible to identify dead bodies, find missing people and murderes, Identify disorders and other genetc problems, and not to mention CRISPR tech that literally cure some cancers and save people. We wouldn't have all that with only bright minds we also need to support them with technology.

Lol, sounds like someone is wandering off topic.

Again if you experience with new tech is so negative, and if "everything is political" to you may be that it's not a tech problem but a life problem

... Please re-read this thing you just wrote, because a "life problem" is exactly what politics is.

and I really am sorry about that, but again not everyone has the same life experience.

I already have to live in a society filled with people like you, you can tolerate a brief reminder that there are people like me. Just accept the fact that we do not share values and move on.
