- Comment on how do I avoid becoming conformist, lazy and completely incapable of learning something new? 3 days ago:
Many people lose the mental capabilities they used to have when they were young, so they become unable to act the same way as they used to. They often lose the ability to learn new things. We’re talking 60+, so there are hormonal changes that can influence both the physical and psychological side of a person. Just stay young in your head is an advise similar to saying “cheer up” to a depressed person. The mental decline is probably partly genetic, partly pure luck or lack thereof, and a minor part can be influenced by lifestyle. So I guess try to influence what you can, excercise, eat healthy food, read, meet younger people and hope for the best.

One thing is to identify the bad behaviour in others, to see you’re doing it yourself is much harder though. People often don’t realize they’re doing something they hate in others.
- Comment on A weird phrase is plaguing scientific papers – and we traced it back to a glitch in AI training data 1 week ago:
That’s not the same as just letting an LLM to halucinate a whole article from nothing - which it sounds like when you say it was written by AI. LLMs are not a bad tool for translations, they have to be checked well though. Working with a language is the one thing they can actually do - unlike giving real answers.

Yup, how dare women enjoy sex!

No, they were not. AI was probably used for translation.

Do go for the shitty admins with no mercy though. We don’t need Wiki to slowly rot from the inside.

The meaning of bread is pretty loose as it is, especially internationally.
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 2 weeks ago:
Ok, I get this and agree. I’d argue though OP probably is genuinely silly. The problem is when you use dating apps, you have to present yourself in some way. Taking pictures of yourself and choosing the good ones is really quite a killer of spontaneity and truthfullness. And everyone knows you want to show off your good sides in the profile. Taking silly pictures with his cousin that he may end up being a bit embarrased about later seems as genuine as it gets.
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 2 weeks ago:
What you say is not universally true. There are women (I know, being one of them) who are attracted by silly. To me, seeing a man enjoying a silly situation he himself created means I could potentially enjoy something like that with him one day, which is super exciting to me. If OP wants to meet someone to share silly things with, he should include such photo - it’s going to filter out the women who are way too serious.

Oh shit.

That’s also possible, but I think it’s worth it to leave no doubt about your feelings.
- Comment on gross either way, but do friends actually talk like this or would this be from people who are dating or something? 2 weeks ago:
It seems like they enjoy this and would like to include you. You should tell them you’re not interested and leave.

People who tell you they don’t sleep with their mother are in denial.

Boycotts are not enough, but in combination with girlcotts they are very efficient.
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think it knows the full sentence, it just doesn’t search for the words in the order they will be in the sentence. It finds the end-words first to make the poem rhyme, than looks for the rest of the words. I do it this way as well just like many other people trying to create any kind of rhyming text.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 2 weeks ago:
The word god is used as a stand-in for religion. A synecdoche.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 2 weeks ago:
I guess you can hate god as a concept. God can be proven to exists in human minds (no esoteric stuff, just psychology and sociology). You can hate this scientific fact and what it means for humankind.

Testosterone spikes are what happens in your body when you fall in love. Therefore testosterone is sometimes referred to as the hormone of love. It is true for both men and women. So how do onions fit into that?
- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 3 weeks ago:
And very many small users who are used to it, buy it already installed and are unable to do anything about it. It seems people often forget normies exist.

I’m from Europe. I don’t know any completely apolitical people, really. Everyone has heard of some political topic and most of the topics make people feel strong emotions, based on which they form their opinions. In my country, the people from group 2 are not organized by themselves, but they are being successfully manipulated by rich populists. They are the majority and they are the group you need to win over to win any elections.

We’ll see. I hope you’re right. I’m just less optimistic.

I’m definitely in a bubble, not in a terminally online one though. I’d say I exist in two sphears that don’t overlap personally, rather spacially around me. One of them is an intellectual bubble that is overwhelmingly but not to a 100% full of people who oppose fascism of any flavour. The other one is a manual labourer or simple job worker bubble - I see a lot more diversity there, many people falling for different kinds of propaganda, superstition, fearmongering. Some of those are already hardcore nazis, some of them are sympathizers in some ways. They usually get informations from the TV, newspapers and friends, partially online as well - mostly Facebook.

What West are you talking about? Fascism sensu stricto was invented in the West.
- Comment on Reddit’s 50% Plunge Fails to Entice Dip Buyers as Growth Slows. 3 weeks ago:
I see the fall of big social media into fascism as a big problem, despite the fact that it makes them less popular. The nazis are actively destroying spaces for communication of opposing opinions. They don’t mind the medias are harmed by that. The important thing is that what remains becomes a fascist echo chamber. Most normal people won’t be able to find alternatives like lemmy, so it makes the numbers of people with opposing views who are able to communicate smaller with every fall of a medium, social or other.

Once you’re inside, the propaganda is all you get. See people in Russia and China. The repressions become draconian and people just go on with their lives in fear of losing them. With today’s tech, I think fascism is actually easier to keep up.

You’re in a nice bubble, I see lots of people buying the Russian propaganda shit.
