This comment turns me off of the entire concept.
It’s like announcing you’ve created a machine that can repurpose garbage and reduce waste going to the landfills, but it just spreads random garbage all over the neighborhood with the intent that the rest of us can dig through it and pull out anything that might be useful and discard the rest.
It just creates much more work for everyone else with minimal positive results.

Uh oh. Someone doesn’t understand Lemmy’s hatred of AI!
Except for silly pictures and terrible mistakes. Keep sharing those.
- Comment on I hear a lot of "ACAB", why don't I hear "APAB"? (P as in Politician) 5 hours ago:
If cops followed the rules and laws to the letter, then you might have something here, but they aren’t “law enforcement” as much as they are “bad guy removal”.
They decide who’s a bad guy, and eliminate them. When little Johnny football star and his friends get caught smoking a little weed, they get a warning to straighten up and sent on their way because they aren’t bad guys. But a “gang” of poor kids toking up are on a dangerous path and need severe intervention to keep them from becoming bad guys.
They decide who needs to be executed without due process, or proof of guilt. They decide that the off duty officer who can’t form a coherent sentence should drive home. They decide which high profile members of the community get a “heads up call” before the search warrant arrives.
The people who make the laws can’t be blamed because all of the shittiest things that make cops bastards, aren’t part of the laws at all.
- Comment on If you were (falsely) accused of murder, but you have records of your phone at home with youtube videos being played, can you submit those records as a sort of Alibi to exonerate you? 17 hours ago:
You are completely right, but I would hope the defense would submit it as evidence.

I have no problem going to work every day if I know I can pay my bills and have some fun during my off time.
The last 12 months has been the first time in 20 years that I felt like I wasn’t able to accomplish that, and it’s getting worse.
And I’m content spending most of my weekends at home doing nothing, so I don’t feel like that’s too much to ask.
- Comment on Why Marijuana Prevention Matters—Especially for Teens and Young Adults 2 days ago:
It’s not on the level of opiates, but you can’t deny that it can be habit forming. Lying about how good it isnt any better than them lying about how bad it is. Be honest. Some people do get dependent on it, others don’t.

Its not X - it’s Y.
I read that’s a common sentence structure in AI generated writing. I think you’re right

- Comment on The end of humanity will come about through people's apathy. 3 days ago:
My theory is that there’s TOO much for people to care.
Remember when we DIDN’T hear about what the president was doing MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY? If one of those presidents had decided to undermine democracy, it’d be a pretty big deal and we’d talk about nothing else for weeks.
But now, breaking news rolls out every hour or two, and it’s just too much to absorb. People are tuning out because if they miss 3 controversies, there will be a fourth by the end of the day. Maybe they’ll worry about that one.

Yeah. I get that a lot.

- Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society 5 days ago:
And let me guess, you’re a realist who always has the exact right amount of positivity or negativity that each situation requires.
- Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society 5 days ago:
Funny, I’m typically used to people leaning towards pessimism as the “smarter” perspective, and optimists being considered in naive or ignorant to “How things really are.”
And reading your post in that context felt like reinforcement of that concept.
To be perfectly clear, I’m more optimistic, and I believe that if someone’s pessimism is constantly bringing them down, them they should probably not learn so hard into it. But I wouldn’t say one is better than another, we need as many differing perspectives as possible to create real working solutions.
- Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society 5 days ago:
Realists are just people who refuse to believe that their perspective is skewed.
- Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society 5 days ago:
I see what you’re saying, but perspective is not equatable to a math equation. An optimist and a pessimist can both have a complete understanding of the facts, but one predicts that things will get better, and the other predicts that things will get worse, and eventually, given enough time, they’ll both be right.
There is no such thing as a realist. That’s just what someone calls themselves when they don’t realize that their perspective is flawed and unique to themselves.
- Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society 5 days ago:
I just changed it.
- Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society 5 days ago:
Well, that would be fair, except I’ve stated no preference for pessimism:))
I’d argue that your tone throughout the post says otherwise, but if I misinterpreted that, the only word I would change is the “you” in the last sentence to “pessimists”. As not to point fingers, but the point still stands
- Comment on If a sandwich is defined as any food item between two pieces of bread, then a layer cake is a type of sandwich. 6 days ago:
More importantly than having bread on the outside is being handheld.
Yes, you can eat anything with your hands, but cake is typically a fork food.
- Comment on Pessimism is a vital component for any healthy society 6 days ago:
The only difference between optimism and pessimism, is that you prefer one over the other. The only people that think pessimism is closer to reality than optimism are the pessimists, because that’s literally how pessimism works.
Optimists think you’re just depressing and further from reality.
