  With due respect, you have not understood how snake oil is detected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. This was almost science. It’s just lacking measurements and repeatablity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Women would rather do drugs than go to therapy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Same sex marriage solves this problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make me feel like a man⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Still the best explanation for how the Futures market works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make me feel like a man⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  America! Fuck Yeah.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  As does Bob. I’m not sure what the specific point you are trying to make here. Do you want longer before the twist is revealed? Because this conversation already let that cat out of the bag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would argue he humanity lasts much longer, only losing it after a lot of generational drift.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Only the more recent TV show. The original westworld film was more like Terminator.

  I would pick blade runner as the classic bot / human confusion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Different book, but try We are legion (we are Bob)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Statistically, probably with the beetles. 🪲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  None of this makes me want to share a table with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Disagree. Roblox and Fortnite metaverses will continue long after VR disappears.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Those glasses are the evolution of VR.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It means different things to different people.

  Roblox is the most successful example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does “It takes two” count as an EA game?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a 2005 desktop. I can’t even get it past the bootloader. Ideally I would run Linux on it headless, but i can’t even get to that stage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My GPU failed on my old (vista) PC and can no longer boot. Should I throw it away?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also one of the Lemmy lead devs is transphobic.

  Given that lemmy is far from transphobic this fact could be seen as a positive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy users who say that Lemmy users are smarter than Reddit users⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just normal banned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In any system there has to be some source of truth to base the data on. Otherwise people can claim anything .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sam Altman very much wants to get rid of copyright.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use a government issued certificate to generate your own age proofs without their involvement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The verifier does not know what exactly you are proving, when you are proving it or to whom.

  The service provided by the verifier is equivalent to a stamp on a piece of paper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One man's trash is another man's garbage⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there should be a whoosh somewhere above you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea of having to pay a fee to retain copyright. And that fee doubles every year.

  It starts off low but after a decade or two it becomes more economical to let the copyright lapse.

  Patents should be scrapped completely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not like monopolies appear out of thin air;

  For patents and copyright this is exactly what happens. Adam Smith’s invisible hand of capitalism does not create these monpolistic protections naturally. They are an artificial construct of government. An enforced payment by society to creators and inventors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there is a balance to be made. Some anti capitalist measures are needed to encourage innovation. But the use of patent laws as a defence, or copyright to seek excessive rent are far too aggressive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Your affection for patents does not disprove my original statement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anti free market policies can exist within a capitalist structure.

  Historical existence of patents doesn’t destroy capitalism, nor make patents less anti capitalist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, you agree patents and copyrights are contrary to capitalism and free markets?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insulin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. Patents and copyrights are state granted monopolies that are in direct opposition to free market forces that capitalism thrives on.
