Look, you are not required to put sharks in the swimming pool.

But nor are you prohibited from doing so.

This swimming pool is entirely neutral on the issue of sharks in the swimming pool. Sharks are beautiful and graceful creatures.

If you do put a shark in the swimming pool, the shark is your responsibility.

Oh, and you don't have to tell anyone if you are putting a shark in the swimming pool.

@neil ok, now that we've agreed that it's okay to put sharks in the swimming pool, we should discuss whether the ecological impact of the sharks on the population of fish in the swimming pool is something that we care about!

@olasd @neil If this is your favourite pool and many of the friends you like to swim together with are using it as well and if all the swimming equipment you have helped building is at that pool... then you might want to start looking for the tiniest of straws the shark-person is handing you...

@josch As a person who really enjoys (literally) swimming with sharks, and really hates the genAI cartel, my cognitive dissonance is turned up to 11 @olasd @neil

@bremner @josch @olasd @neil the price of resorting to cringy metaphors in attempt to be funnier than you are: often enough you end up missing the point, and you metaphor doesn't actually work.

@olasd @bremner @neil @creepy_owlet @josch wait, how would this coupon work?

if I provide a cat picture taken with a camera that is old enough not to have AI-based image enhancing features, do I get to keep the coupon, and get another cat picture in exchange for it later?

Let's try, worst case scenario there is one more cat picture on the fediverse
