So you’re saying it’s ideal for murder because it brings home less damning evidence?
I don’t want to ding up my golden tit plate!

1·8 days agoThat’s fair, it’s certainly not ideal. It’s hard to think of a resource that you can tie the dollar to without creating rushes or panic. However, our current system of loaning money into existence leads to massive debt and affordability issues from the resulting inflation. Have you come across any alternative suggestions that seem potentially viable?

Technology@lemmy.world•I Asked AI to Count My Carbs 27,000 Times. It Couldn’t Give Me the Same Answer Twice.English
4·9 days agoBullshit factory is very apt. I was using it for an open book exam and it gave answers entirely skewed to the way the question was asked.
For example, if I asked “is X bacteria a pathogen in Y disease”, it would say yes, it was a very bad pathogen.
If I asked “what effects does X bacteria have in this body system”, it said it was a beneficial bacteria.
Never trust the AI summary, you have to fully read the studies.
And what my kids loudly say when I attempt that: “What mom? Why are you looking at me like that? What does it mean? Why are you glaring? Whaaaaat?”
Which means I am left with little choice but to spell out word-for-word the embarrassing thing I was trying not to say

Technology@lemmy.world•Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027English
24·15 days agoLately, whenever anyone draws the obvious parallels to 1984, posters seem to jump to say that Orwell had unsavoury beliefs and therefore it negates any correct thing he ever said.
It’s such a weird world where we decide someone must be 100% correct by today’s standards or else everything they ever said must be complete bunk.
All of our historical heroes were assholes by today’s standards, and we will be assholes in the eyes of our descendants.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What was your "we have to leave now" moment?English
101·15 days agoWhen I was 16, I took the city bus to school and we had bus tickets that you could buy at the local corner store. The corner store was a 3 block walk from my house, and I was going there one day to buy a sheet of tickets. As I set out walking, a man in a white van slowed down to whistle/shout sexual things, which is sadly something that teen girls experience regularly - that occurrence was just another usual day.
But then, the man started circling the block over and over as a method to follow me. When I hit the Main Street he pulled into a gas station to pause and see which business would go into. And when I entered the convenience store, he parked the white van in front and stood on the front steps smoking and blocking all exit points.
I asked the convenience store clerk if he had a back exit I could run away through. He did not, but the man went to the front steps and yelled at the man and got him to leave. He parked across the street still watching, so I waited in the store until I saw ANY bus coming to the nearby stop and immediately got on. I took that to a crowded shopping mall and passed enough time until I felt that I could get back to what I was planning to do that day.
Life is disgusting for teen girls.

Technology@lemmy.world•‘In two years, nobody will care’ if actors are AI or not, predicts La Haine directorEnglish
41·15 days agoI’m not sure that’s true. In day to day life, I find the majority of people will accept whatever the media tells them to accept.
The normalization of AI in the past couple of years has been rapid. Even my 70 year old aunts are delighting at AI-photoshopping themselves into flowers and revealing outfits. Prospective employees hand in chatbot-created resumes and cover letters, masking the fact that their spelling and grammar is godawful.
The media will tell us to celebrate the end of overpaid actors and influencers, and many people will be pleased to see them knocked down a peg.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Both sides of Niagara Falls.English

My mom was 5 years older than my dad. She was so ashamed of it that she told all her in-laws that her birthday was the same year as his, and therefore she was 6 months older. We celebrated all her milestone birthdays 5 years early with them because she was raised to believe her value was tied to her age.
To this day, her sisters will not tell me their age and I have no clue how old my aunts are. When a culture tells you that getting older makes you irrelevant, it breeds odd behaviour like that.
And then forced to battle in a dogfighting ring because we interpret them repeating their name as a sign that they love it

It wouldn’t make much of a comic strip. Before the critters finished asking for a ride the Canada goose would have been in a flapping, violent rage and attempting to peck their faces off.
I can’t help but laugh when one of them gives a 5 minute interview about how disappointed they are in getting scammed, but ends it by saying it was the only voting option and they would never vote Democrat even now.
This is what society looks like when your vote can be expected and doesn’t need to be earned.
