  I can see the insanity on both sides.

  But being able to see both sides doesn’t mean both sides are exactly equal all the time. They’re not.

  Without a doubt. Just saying it’s not 100% on the right.

  Hard to know what to do about it when the people who are the most susceptible to misinformation are often the ones who think they’re the least susceptible to misinformation.

  And no I don’t just mean right wing chuds. I’ve found there’s a heavy correlation between people who are certain they are immune to propaganda and know the real truth and people who have, in fact, been conned by propaganda and misinformation. Conspiracy theorists, MLM adherents, antivax weirdos, homeopathy people … they’re all “doing their own research” so they can’t be conned.

  The hubris is always a dead giveaway. A sort of Dunning-Kruger thing.

  For what it’s worth I totally acknowledge that I can be and have been tricked by misinformation and propaganda.

  I do not trust your assessment of their expertise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biden releases AI executive order directing agencies to develop safety guidelines⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The National Institute of Standards and Safety (NIST) will be responsible for developing standards to “red team” AI models before public release, while the Department of Energy and Department of Homeland Security are directed to address the potential threat of AI to infrastructure and the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and cybersecurity risks.

  The rules will be developed by agencies with relevant expertise.

  You do know that Biden didn’t personally draft this himself, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. There are innumerable topics and interests that don’t have a robust presence on Lemmy yet because the platform is just too small and niche. Lemmy is great for tech and tech-adjacent stuff but I still wander back to Reddit from time to time for sports, for instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly the biggest long term threat to Lemmy is its technology not being able to keep up with its own success. Issues like bad moderation tools, spam, and fractured communities need to be addressed within the software platform itself.

  Pop Culture Detective is great, for the most part.

  I agree, I don’t buy WD drives any more. But I don’t want to replace the ones I already have unless it’s necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SanDisk Extreme SSDs are “worthless,” multiple lawsuits against WD say⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So far these issues only apply to these specific SSDs … fingers crossed it stays that way, because like you I’ve got a number of WD HDDs in my life.
