Don’t forget that he also vetoed unemployment pay for striking workers and vetoed the decriminalization of natural psychedelics + LSD + MDMA (in other words, the guy from the “my body my choice” party wants to take away your freedom for making choices with your body that he disapproves of… because he’s too much of a hollow suit to ever handle a proper shroom trip)
Eh, if it ran on solar and all it was trained on was maybe the library’s own database of book summaries or something, then why not? That could be cool.
We need to work on our social sciences before any other science can bring anyone real benefit anymore…
Well said. I have associate degrees only in Bio/Chem, and I was going to keep going but… why? To work for an evil pharmaceutical company? To work in the shitty corporate cannabis industry? To advise rich assholes on how to cut down our national forests in a way which makes it appear like it’s not the end of the world?
The only STEM career I’ve found which seems guaranteed to be ethical is the people who do wildlife surveys, finding endangered bees and whatnot to block bullshit luxury real estate. But going through all that education to aim for a single, specific, probably-not-very-common position doesn’t seem very smart.
I live in the other city in America which had a nuclear disaster, but no one talks about it really. It created a cancer cluster in part of my city. People died.
I’d rather have nuclear than data centers. Nuclear of today isn’t the nuclear of the 50’s / 60’s. It’s pretty easy to understand why it’s safe these days.
Obviously nuclear fission is the real “fuck yeah” choice though
There’s also, at least for Spanish but probably for other languages too, a significant difference between the academic version and the colloquial version.
I assume it’s sort of like if you, as an English speaker, only spoke as if you were composing a college essay.
A. Not what anyone said, even if you want it to be so you have something to be angry about.
B. Why would I use any AI? I’m not a braindead mouthbreather incapable of doing their own thinking and research.
They said “Temu encryption” as in encryption of a quality on par with products purchased from Temu, not literally as in using the same encryption as Temu.
Chinese people think Temu is trash and would never use it
I find it quite funny when USonians act above it
I’m going to stop talking to you now because wtf are you even on about. No one said anything about not wanting to buy Chinese goods. I specifically buy Chinese goods because at least their billionaires are kept to heel and are doing less to actively fuck over my life than Jeff Bezos.
Also no one said anything about Temu encryption but you, so again, wtf are you even on about?
The post you replied to never said “Chinese”, it said “Temu”. So you saying “Oh yeah Chinese people agree, Temu is garbage” actually proves… that it was a reasonable statement?
It still could’ve been said from a racist place or with undertones of racism, but it’s not necessarily guaranteed. Temu is garbage. Americans think so. Chinese people apparently think so.
Idk man, my neighborhood (in SoCal) had no shortage of Trump flags. Every single one is down since the Epstein saga. I dont think the phone is the thing that did it, and without a doubt, some cultists will be trying to dig Trump’s corpse up after he’s 6 feet under so they can shove their head up his ass and see enlightenment. But I think MAGA is dead unless they can shift the cult of personality onto a different personality, which is unlikely imo.
That implies our elected officials represent the will of their electorate. They do not. They represent the will of their corporate owners, “campaign donors”. It is a plutocracy.
Ask the indigenous people of America whether they feel the military liberated them, now or 80 years ago or 200.
America knocked down the fascists because they fucked with us, we were quite content to let them conquer Europe and Asia before that. You’re promoting American exceptionalism mythology. The American government / military isn’t the good guys and literally never has been.
Also it was the Russians who actually defeated the Nazis.
It didn’t go over my head. You’re just wrong.
Viewing things for their net impact is not “irrational” just because you don’t like the conclusions reached.
Black and white, no, but things can be evaluated on their net impact. And in that evaluation, AI is shit.
It destroys the environment inherently by virtue of its operation (in the context of our current energy infrastructure). I do not care how “useful” it is to you or any corporation if it takes even a single living organism off of this earth.
I dismiss it as shit and I don’t need your approval to do so. Medical and scientific applications are acceptable. Nothing else, no exceptions.
Every commercial use of AI negatively impacts the environment in order to further the interests of capital and is therefore inherently immoral.
If we were in a nuclear fusion or otherwise all-renewable-energy-with-plenty-of-excess world, then I’d be more aligned with your mindset and agree that only uses which bastardize art / etc are immoral.
People don’t want to hear it anywhere because you’re lauding the benefits of a parasitic technology which is inherently hostile towards workers.
And if you’re getting paid for it, it makes you a parasite too, or at least more complicit than the average person.
I don’t care. Fire the executives anyway.
