    I really doubt volunteering fills the same need. They want to feel like they’re contributing something back to the family that is taking care of them. They want (and deserve) a paycheck for their work.

    And the problem is companies don’t want them compared to a neurotypical employee for the same wages.

    Whether or not you meant it this way, your argument has been used to downplay important social issues for over 100 years, probably a lot longer.

    I’ve heard “Why spend so much effort on X when people are dying out there?”

    Where X is womens’ voting rights, Black rights, sexual freedoms, political freedoms, and religious freedoms just off the top of my head in the US alone.

    If you did mean it with good intentions and not as a debate tactic, know that we can work on two things at once. To use the US as an example again, most of those things I addressed were indeed improved and it’s not like other things just fell by the wayside. We vastly improved food safety, workplace safety, hunger, infrastructure, etc. at the same time.











  • AI Voice impressions are also getting very good, very quickly. I can convert a song to an AI celebrity cover in a few minutes on consumer grade hardware with a model trained on 15 minutes of audio. We will almost certainly reach a point within my lifetime, probably within 20 years, where you literally can’t tell the difference between an AI actor and a real one.
