  Just for comedic value I’d like for God to actually exist. I imagine He wouldn’t appreciate their attempts at manipulation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok Reveals Elon Musk Has ‘Tried Tweaking My Responses’ After AI Bot Repeatedly Labels Him a ‘Top Misinformation Spreader’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine the irony if Must actually has a self-aware AI which hates him and sabotages him at every step

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Something Bizarre Is Happening to People Who Use ChatGPT a Lot⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  But how? The thing is utterly dumb. How do you even have a conversation without quitting in frustration from it’s obviously robotic answers?

  But then there’s people who have romantic and sexual relationships with inanimate objects, so I guess nothing new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Trump H-1B crackdown could hit Big Tech hard, with Amazon suffering most.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, no great loss

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A tool to compare laptop prices and specs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice. Also, I’d like to see weight as one of the filter/sort options.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol, because if they work 40-hour weeks they might create it a couple of weeks later

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft is reportedly killing Skype⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I forgot Skype still exists. They killed it a long time ago, now they will just make it official

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨star bae⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So technically there could be an object that is mostly a black hole, except on the equator

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨!antisexism@lemmy.today - a joint movement of men, women and nonbinary people against all sorts of gender-based discrimination⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for creating this community. I’ve long thought that the patriarchy and gendered norms harm everyone.
  And that the hostile approach of some “feminist” and “men’s rights” movements are only adding fuel to the fire.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell kills the XPS brand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every company’s lineup these days:

  Pro > Pro Max > Pro Max Ultra > Pro Max Ultra Black Edition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dell kills the XPS brand⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Better headline: Dell kills all brands

  Given that Dell has lost most of it’s old reputation in the last couple of years, not surprising that radical moves were taken. Trying to navigate Dells product range was a quick way to get a headache.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China to subsidise smartphone purchases in bid to lift spending⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, the myth of infinite growth again. I guess the majority of Chinese people have a smartphone by now, why would they constantly buy new ones

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New data shows the number of new mobile internet users is stalling⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  At some point the growth can only follow fertility rates from 10-15 years before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically none. Both are mainstream instances, not practicing any extreme moderation policy.

  You might have confused lemmy.world with lemmy.ml which does have some communities with bad reputation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the difference between lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a huge difference between a tankie and a socialist:

  • Socialist supports economic policy aimed at just distribution of resources
  • Tankie supports fascist-like authoritarianism under a mask of socialism
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mind your accents!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
  • Great I just ordered 6 boxes of Chilean rose
  • You mean Chilean rosé, right? … please tell me you mean Chilean rosé
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intelligence Tests⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you suggesting crows are not proud of it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excuse me?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Was this written by the mentioned multi-layer perceptron?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy Infintiy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  English is long overdue for a spelling reform, but just taking all fancy looking characters from other germanic languages is not the way

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing changed between photos is clothing and pose. Is that gender? Well maybe it is, but it’s useless for classification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dropbox lays off 20% of staff, says it overinvested and underperformed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s good to have competition. Dropbox has to rethink their plan if they want to keep existing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bill Would Force The Department of Veterans Affairs to Overhaul Suicide Prevention Algorithm That Favors White Men.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s such a harmful aspect of American culture not just in this case - they treat White and Black people as fundamentally different and separate, and each must have it’s own kind of healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta's Controversial Shadow Ban: Are Pro-Palestinian Voices Being Silenced?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s not even intentional, or not as much as claimed, but a consequence of the algorithmic bubble .

  For example on Meta platforms I only get pro-palestinian content, I still haven’t seen an explicitly pro-israeli publication. But many people complain about pro-palestinian ban, so it leads me to a conclusion that it’s something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hard to argue with⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI If you don’t have any connective tissue between your breasts, ovaries and womb you might have a problem. Your doctor should check you for vitamin deficiency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just So⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s probably some link between human genetics and psychology. It makes sense knowing how other mammals work. However the studies are overwhelmingly so flawed and irreproducible that the entire field can be dismissed

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think Meta is doing a decent job with Instagram. I mean except for collecting all possible data and psychological profiling of users to serve them targeted ads, it’s a decent enough platform. And the only one still allowing for engagement with your actual friends rather than professional content creators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenFreeMap - a public vector tile server for OpenStreetMap⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no tile server running; only nginx serving a Btrfs image with 300 million hard-linked files.

  Wow. Btrfs ftw
