"You can't judge historical figures by today's standards"
Hear me out though. You fucking can, actually, and you should. Because if you don't, then you're either saying
(a) That morality itself changes from year to year simply due to the passage of time,
or,
(b) That morality itself might be immutable, your own ethical responsibility to follow it isn't.
If the first is true, your moral compass isn't worth a damn. If the second is true, your ethical ideology is based entirely on deciding what specific evil you can get away with in the moment.
Regardless of when the individual may have lived, YOU live here, now, today, in THIS moment, with TODAY'S understanding of morality and ethics. It's on you to act like it. What use is it to put a historical figure on a pedestal they did not believe in, aspire to, nor earn?

Okay good news the pain has mostly gone this weekend; felt a LOT better after a long sleep yesterday. I'm not fully there but I'm much better. :)
Just need to remember to never smoke again. x3
A tired note on ethical uses of "AI":
Also hi
It's been almost a year since I first set up my bat in VR, and learned I can turn mirror reflections off (for PC users, sorry Quest standalone) and GOD IT'S REALLY EUPHORIC AAAAAAAAAAAA
I'd be like "maybe there's something to this whole vampire thing" but you don't accidentally doodle something once and go through rapid identity euphoria feelings and still have the fangs and suchlike on your main identity a year and a half later.
It does give sorting out Full Body Tracking a few extra steps though (I have the ability to appear in mirrors on a toggle 'cus sometimes it's useful, but the default state is off)
