- Comment on Commenting what is happening in twitter is to content creation what crabs are to evolution. 1 hour ago:
Roughly 30 million years into the future
Looking round me again, I saw that, quite near, what I had taken to be a reddish mass of rock was moving slowly towards me. Then I saw the thing was really a monstrous crab-like creature. Can you imagine a crab as large as yonder table, with its many legs moving slowly and uncertainly, its big claws swaying, its long antennae, like carters’ whips, waving and feeling, and its stalked eyes gleaming at you on either side of its metallic front? Its back was corrugated and ornamented with ungainly bosses, and a greenish incrustation blotched it here and there. I could see the many palps of its complicated mouth flickering and feeling as it moved.

Gotta quit anthropomorphising machines. It takes free will to be a psychopath, all else is just imitating.

“What cracker is this same that deafs our ears with this abundance of superfluous breath?”
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 1 week ago:
I don’t think a device will ever have a thought. I find it somewhat akin to a belief in the anamism of objects, that it will aquire some form of life force of its own. What a thought is, is a complete mystery. Nobody knows why they happen, where they come from. So, who is even to determine whether an inamimate object is exhibiting signs of consciousness? There are some people that believe it, others are just running a con.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 2 weeks ago:
I have an inexpensive desktop plugged into my tv, for watching shows and movies. My laptop is my main computer, plugged in to a monitor and surround speakers. My phone is for laying on the couch scrolling brainrot.

Writing developed quite a bit since then. It’s a lot about cognitive efficiency. Upper case letters and other grammatical cues aid in efficiency. not using these conventions benefits the writer but not the reader
- Comment on What determines whether people are likely to purposely (but mistakenly) put two words together (without a space)? 3 weeks ago:
Alot is incorrect and is close to allot. Lot is a pretty confusing word in english, like it’s possible to have a lot of lots, each a particular allotment maybe. A lot is both one and many, one single lot, or many things, a lot of things. Hope that clears it up haha.
- Comment on people who drink, how long do your hangovers last? 3 weeks ago:
Takes 2-3 days for all of it to completely wear off. There’s a fairly high number of people arrested for dui who think being passed out for 8 hrs means they are good to.go after, just hungover.

Checking for Body Snatchers.
- Comment on How come zombies seem to have sharp teeth while the rest of their body is rotting away? Or is just fiction? 6 months ago:
Although this is correct, it is shocking how fast they can decompose, or rot, once cavities set it. I have a dentist phobia and am losing most of my teeth these days. I wouldnt imagine many zombies have regular dental checkups. Luckily, I can get dentures. Imagine a zombie “Hold still, Im trying to get my dentures in”.

I started looking for an SDF alternative just yesterday, to see if SDF was broken again. So thanks for the post. Guess I will carry on with another account. I’m thinking lemmy.ca.

- Comment on Can it be within human nature to be inhumane? Conversely can it be "unhuman" or going against human nature to be genuinely humane? 1 year ago:
That’s a lack of knowledge. Narcissists can be just as stupid, even more so as they consider themselves smarter than everyone. Sound familiat?
- Comment on Can it be within human nature to be inhumane? Conversely can it be "unhuman" or going against human nature to be genuinely humane? 1 year ago:
I think the terms you’re looking for are narcissism and empathy. Narcissism is the inhumanity, empathy the humanity. Can a narcissist have empathy, and vise versa? I can’t say I’ve ever heard of an empathist, having too much empathy.
- Comment on Do you actually own anything digital? 1 year ago:
I think it depends on the definition of own, if it can be sold to someone else who will then own it. If it doesn’t have value like that, then it is just something you have, like pocket lint.

- Comment on The first humanoid robot factory is about to open 1 year ago:
I think the first was back in 1920, The Rossums Universal Robot factory. It failed when the robots rose up and killed everbody.
