nice

While right now that may not be the case, but as someone who looked into the topic I can definitely say that it has similar potential. It’s just that a lot of companies just duct-tape AI onto their product and the result they get is usually shitty. But if you ignore all those “projects” that are obviously meant to fail, there are some promising projects and applications for AI that are actually made by people who understand what they are doing, the limitations and the upsides of the technology and they may just make products that are indeed useful.

Sorry for the undecipherable wall of text, it’s early in the morning for me.

Chicken?

This is basically the algorithms of the big tech companies but with extra steps. I guess it greatly illustrates how absurd they actually are and how weird it is to just shrug them off.

For me it was having the audacity to state Holodomor was real, while denying it is actually a crime in my county. Looking it up it actually isn’t, but it’s widely accepted to have happened and is taught in history lessons.

For me it’s categorizing radical ideologies correctly. I just hate people throwing around buzzwords, calling anyone a communist/fascist they disagree with. Those words have meanings. You can actually be worse then the fascists and still not be one, it’s not impossible. You can still be hated for that, but you didn’t automatically become one, because you are right-wing and coincidentally an asshole. But the moment someome calls you a fascist, while you’re just an asshole, their opinon automatically becomes invalid and wrong.

This is actually a great shower thought. Not something I’d normally think about, but playing with the thought trolls do seem likely to try and annoy people this way.

I’m not from America, but I thought I had a pretty good understanding on some of these issues. Turns out I only got the memo for “defund the police” meaning “abolish the police”.

I personally look up torrent files for either FLACs (lossless quality, with very large files) or 320kbps MP3s (smaller files with no noticable difference in sound quality imo) and then after making sure they have the right metadata (Title, Album, Artist) (using a tool like Tagger) I upload them onto my Navidrome server, which I connect to using Ultrasonic. If I didn’t selfhost I’d probably just put the tagged files on my phone and play them with basically any music player.

I’d argue that’s not a unique person, but a unique skill of an ordinary person. Interacting with Socrates as a person probably wouldn’t have been extraordinary but experiencing his unique ideas for the time would have.

Give them perpetually 40 year old bodies and let them rule as two God-Emperors in repeating eight years cycles for each.

I mean in the grand scheme of things there are only a handful of types of people, maybe a few hundred and those types repeat over and over. Everyone has their own unique experiences, personal drama and relationships, but their behavior and core traits are shared with probably millions of people throughout history. Thinking you are unique is not a rational belief and if it becomes integral to one’s personality (like it has to millions of people before them) I think they should be mocked, just for the sake of getting their heads straight.

It’s not that you aren’t allowed to be the most important character of your story, it’s just that you shouldn’t think that’s because you are something that never was before and never will be after.

This just reminded me of movie-web which looked very similar to this… Anyone know something?

I’ve always said Jimmy would be prefarable to the current roaster of politicians, and I’m going to say it again.

From what I see most elections always are.

But lukewarm and mid isn’t.

For a moment I thought this was the google chrome logo’s evolution.

Shouldn’t a woman and a man with the same height, weight, and body-muscle percentage be basically identical in terms of athleticism or am I wrong?

I like this. It’s not really helpful in the sense that it seems almost as hard as being perfect yourself, but nonetheless it’s possible, contrary to the alternative.

I think it’s a paraphrase of a culturally significant webcomic inserted into a more modern context without it’s original meaning being altered.
