I suggest to not make the mistake of blaming it on AI. Humans (on average) aren't any smarter. Social media platforms (like Reddit) had a long history of ridiculous bans way before automods were a thing. It can happen at any time and it will happen at some point.
I'm struggling with focusing on finishing a few tracks I'm working on. Lots of stress. My health is also not the best which makes playing on my laptop's keyboard painful and slow. I only have 3-5 months left to finish something which adds more pressure. The heat wave doesn't help either.
Genetic links are no substitute for empathy or understanding though. You can be twins and still end up being completely different (and incompatible) persons.
We don't know if the next iteration will be better. It can also get much worse. Surveillance technologies, AI, greed, egocentrism, narcissism, psychopathy, racism, sexism (and so on) won't go away, just like climate change which creates more and more conflicts by itself. The last spirit of optimism was long ago (Space age), since then things only went downhill.
Short-term homelessness (2-3 months) seems to be tolerable for most housed relatives if the homeless person can make up for it later. But after 6-12 months, the housed will all be gone no matter how close they were with the homeless because the poor individual is marked as lost. The lost status remains even if the homeless person makes it out much later. It's very similar to health conditions like cancer or depression. If you go over a certain threshold, it's over.
Most do. But it's hard to blame them considering how painful such memories can be. It takes enormous strength remembering your roots. Most people never develop that strength.
I heard that "If my brother/sister/mother/father" story plenty of times. And it was never true. I've seen and heard too much while I volunteered in homeless shelters.
They want to continue living their lifestyle, just like OP. That's not necessarily selfish or entitled. It's just two incompatible ways of life. The solution is to cut ties and find people who are compatible, for both OP and his sister and her husband. Walking away in peace is always better than endless conflicts.
If they won't accept that then OP can't do anything else than moving on. I had to do that too with friends and relatives from higher socioeconomic classes. It's not possible to make people understand something they are unable or unwilling to understand. It's not possible to force people to have something in common with you. And that's okay. That's life.
Perfect altruism (Being selfless = destroying yourself) is not my standard. I consider it as destructive as parasitic behavior (Being selfish = destroying others). Extremes are always destructive. Balance is key. I think balance is necessary to come close to what people call fair. In this sense, a good/fair deal (win-win situation) is better than any gift.
I wasn't talking about expensive activities. But activities that require any money to be spent. Which means a very reduced catalog of topics to talk about. Which is what makes poor (or poorer) people appear boring to people with more wealth. It's interesting to note that this works the other way around as well. Wealthy people appear boring to poor people because all they seem to talk about is what they consume.
Roughly 90 % if I have access to plenty of data. According to others it's less than 10 %.
