- Comment on Elon Musk Openly Advocates for Overthrowing the Government of Bolivia, The Country with the Largest Lithium Reserves in the World 3 hours ago:
The latest coup attempt really sounds like a publicity stunt.
No one died or got injured.
They took over the old presidential palace, rather than the new one the president was actually at.
The general leading it said Morales told him to do it.
Not saying it couldn’t be real, but if they definitely made a lot of the same choices they would have if they were faking it.

And how is any of that the fault of spending paltry amounts of research budgets on research grants? Has the space industry been lobbying against healthcare reform? No.

Anyone remember that scene in the beginning of Interstellar where the teacher is reporting to the dad that his daughter was spreading lies that man landed on the moon? It’s supposed to highlight how society has grown so jaded against space exploration that they no longer remember their past accomplishments or the massive advances of technology that space exploration has brought.
I feel like that’s where we’re heading. In the past decade, many people have become really antagonistic about space. They see big numbers and think it’s a waste of money, failing to understand that the money isn’t being thrown in a pit and set on fire. It’s being used to pay and fund cutting edge research and development on technology that can benefit all of humanity.

You’re not thinking correctly. The right is not a giant monolith. Many people who lean right or are centrists voted for Biden last election because they too despise Trump. Those are the kind of people who will vote for RFK. Now, they still get to vote against Trump, but don’t have to vote for Biden. And yes, of course voting 3rd party is essentially the same as voting for whoever wins up winning, but people are idiots and don’t understand that logic.

For 99% of applications, a corded electric blower with an extension cord is far superior than every other option.

- Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors 1 month ago:
I remember reading a story about an email server that was limited to sending emails within 150 miles. Through a lot of digging, they found it was due to an auto-timeout timer getting reset to 0ms. Anything further than 150 miles would cause a 1ms delay and thus get rejected for taking too long.

As someone who has actually looked into nuclear waste and the current storage techniques instead of relying on knee-jerk fear mongering, yes. Store it in my area. Hell, store the casks underneath my house for all I care. If you are surprised by this answer, it’s because you don’t know shit about nuclear waste and how little of a problem it is.

Sounds like you’re fed up with Elon and his BS, but I’d like you to take a moment and look around.
This article does not mention Elon. No one in this thread has mentioned Elon, except you. You have linked Elon to this solely because it deals with space, but you are the one propagating that link. You are the one keeping him in the conversation. Maybe, I don’t know, stop fucking talking about him?

Access to training data wouldn’t help. People are too stupid. You give the public access to that, and all you’ll get is hundreds of articles saying “This company used (insert horrible thing) as part of its training data!)” while ignoring that it’s one of millions of data points and it’s inclusion is necessary and not an endorsement.
- Comment on unsure why we are surprised lol 2 months ago:
Think of shitty kids who like to wreck everything they touch. Whenever they try to make their own clubhouse, it usually doesn’t last long because they wind up wrecking it themselves. And while they like to wreck things, they don’t actually like living in a wrecked clubhouse. They want to be able to wreck things and laugh as others suffer from their damage and have to fix it. So they invade other clubhouses because their own is always a fucking mess.
- Comment on People liked AI art – when they thought it was made by humans 2 months ago:
I see we have a fundamental disagreement on what ultimately matters in a piece of art. You believe it is the artist’s thoughts and intentions that are important, while I believe that it is the thoughts and emotions each individual feels when experiencing the final product.
Personally, I try to learn as little about the artist as possible before judging a work. It doesn’t matter to me if the artist was an accomplished French artisan with decades of experience, or if they were a 7 year old Chinese girl. I don’t really care if the artist was channeling their feelings of loneliness in a chaotic world by depicting a lone rowboat in a lake, or if they just passingly thought a rowboat would be a good addition to their pretty lake painting. I prefer interpreting a work from an unbiased perspective, I suppose that’s why it doesn’t matter to me if a work of art was made by a human or AI, because it doesn’t fundamentally change the final product.

So let me ask you something. Like with the people in this article, if you see an image and it captures your attention, inspires you, makes you go “wow that’s stunning & thought provoking!”, then after the fact you learn it was made by AI, do all those previous feelings become invalid?
It just seems like you’re having to convince yourself that it’s bad. Like suddenly deciding you don’t like a cake because the badder was mixed in a pink mixing bowl. As if your enjoyment of the final product is somehow meaningless compared to how you got there.

That’s fine, you are perfectly free to believe that an apple is a cucumber. And the rest of the world is perfectly free to disagree and dismiss you.
