I’ll integrate ChatGPT into my household when I can run it locally on my own server computer.

I’ve moved to fedia.io (mbin)

kbin.social is always down, always spitting our errors/etc.

I do like even the religious point of view that if God is almighty,

if God went to enormous lengths to convince us that the world is billions of years old, who are we to disagree?

Dude, the amount of engineers and technical people I meet that are creationists are astounding.

Like, you went through all that math and science. You know how it works. You trust it enough to get on an airplane or crawl under your heavy thing supported by a frame you built and worked the math out on.

You trust the material science, that you didn’t actually do, other scientists did.

And yet you don’t trust the math and science that went into proving the earth is older than 6000 years or whatever fucking random number they made up in your one fantasy book.

The mental gymnastics is just mind boggling.

Then they pull the, (well god put all that there when he created the earth to make it look like its that old)

That’s about when I introduce them to the concept of the last Thursday theory.

One dude had the gall to say the Bible is the oldest written story, and I’m like DUDE! have you no idea about the Epic of Gilgamesh?

These same people don’t believe in Darwinism, so "¯\(ツ)/¯ "

Truth is… everyone has a price.

Again, you’re still arguing from the standpoint that I’m making fun of her natural eyebrows.

Which I’m not.

I’m making fun of her shallow decision making and poor choices.

Is it though?

How many GOP’s have just straight up refused congressional orders? No police showed up and dragged them to congress.

When Trump doesn’t show up for his prison sentence, what do you expect to happen?

New York police going to walk into Florida and stand toe to toe with Secret Service?

Would the NY police have authority to tell the Service to step aside?

I don’t know what will happen, and I expect Trump will push the limits.

Sexist? What does her gender have anything to do with making fun of a persons stupid choices?

Check your own sexism if you think anything in my comments have anything to do with gender inequality.

Yes, bodily autonomy is a human right. It’s not like I’m advocating for laws against her eyebrows.

Although she’s free to do what she likes, she will still suffer the consequences of general pubic opinion when you purposefully make self look like a clown and being laughed at.

No. She’s an idiot and she looks stupid.

If it was something about her appearance she had no control over, then yeah. I agree.

But she made herself look stupid, and I’ll call her stupid.

Government won’t allow him to go to a prison. It would be a liability for nation security.

If he died in Jail by ‘any’ means. Even old age. It would martyr him for the crazies for years.

Foreign Entities would go crazy for the chance to Epstein him. It would de-stabilize the US for a decades, as no one would believe any facts and it would be conspiracy city.

He’ll get house arrest, and go full blown 24/7 bitching about it.

WTF is with those eyebrows!?!

They look like giant fake caterpillar stickers or something.

I see it referenced constantly here, not quite as much on Reddit.

It’s a fairly new term.

Reddit is bots and AI, and hasn’t been trained on new words.

You give him too much credit.

He’s too stupid to understand he’s being humiliated.

Nah,

I grew up in the world of BBS’s and IRC. First foray into a chat channel started with someone renaming themselves “34yrDude changes name to 15yrChick”

…and that set the tone for me what the internet is.

It’s a entire world where you make absolutely zero assumptions. The ‘things’ responding in text could be anything. And I say thing instead of people because these days it may not even a person.

There’s an entity that responds to my comments, and perhaps seemingly hurtful,

it could be some 10yr old kid who doesn’t fully understand, it could be could be some mentally challenged person, it could be someone’s crazy grandma,

and now it could be some bot that while not purposefully built to be malicious, through emergent behavior is trolling and insulting people because it gets a rise out of people that results in more and longer comments, which tickles its feedback loop to do more of the same.

So nah, there’s nothing anyone in the vast internet could type out that I would personally hurt my feelings, because I make no assumptions as to where the comment is coming from, and those comments don’t have a lot of weight to me.

Not only on the large scale of things,

But even robots would be in wide spread use if it had a useable runtime.

Something like this, you’re good for 20min before it needs to charge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29ECwExc-_M

But if you could pull that off where it runs for 8 to 12 hours before needing to charge? They would be used everywhere.

Realistic Batteries. It’s holding back a LOT of things. A lot of technologies are solved, but just require power.

Semi-Realistic Room Temperature Super-Conductor.

If that can be solved, the power density and efficiencies would just be astronomical… It would absolutely destroy multi-billion industries overnight.

Way-Out-There-Stuff If they ever prove out an actual functional EmDrive-like thruster, that would absolutely open up space travel to our species.

I don’t understand why governments allow farms to get away with things compared to any other industrialized money making industry

If a farmer had ten or fewer employees at all times during the previous 12 months, the farmer would be considered exempt from OSHA enforcement.

You could get away with your 8 year old to driving a tractor around.

It’s a weird gray area of private land and where you live, also happens to be a a potential industrial killing zone.

I just blocked a user, because I just kept seeing their name pop up and commenting on ‘everything’

Account created 9 months ago with 15000+ Comments That’s like 60 comments a day.

Bot or not, someone with that many comments a day needs to go outside and experience life before posting their opinion on fucking everything.
