Violence is only the last resort, but Americans should learn to make DIY weapons in case another civil war breaks out, because it is unlikely that Donald will concede power when the time comes.
- Comment on Robot dogs priced at $300,000 a piece are now guarding some of the country’s biggest data centers 3 days ago:
There is an episode about robot dogs in Black Mirror…
At this stage, I am willing to go to Mars. There is less chance of techbro oligarchs wanting to destroy the world and killer robot dogs wanting to kill us. Matt Damon has also provided us with a basic manual on how to survive Mars.
- Comment on Human experimentation, one way or the other. 3 days ago:
I feel like the antivaxxers are more concentrated in the developed north because of privileges; from having better access to healthcare, better economy, and less prevalence of deadlier diseases because of colder climate. So they get treatment more easily if they need one, and don’t see nasty diseases. Meanwhile, the global south tend to believe more in vaccinations because diseases in warmer climate are more common and deadlier.

It’s always an alliance of convenience amongst authoritarian states.

Different system, same problem.

It’s mandatory to use calculators in my field to make calculations, so that has been saving me.

I already work on STEM, without the E, but a little bit of M.

I am Asian 😂 I refuse to live up to the stereotype!
- Comment on 6 days ago:
I’m too dumb for maths because I have dyscalculia, but i am always amazed by the engineering crowd on how they could improve efficiency by finding and tweaking just the little things.

So two state solution?
- Comment on Why conservative men repeatedly crash Grindr 1 week ago:
We’re making fun of conservatives being hypocrites and idiots. Like, how it’s not racist to make fun of MAGA immigrants voting for Trump and then being deported.
- Comment on I don't have money to pay premium to not see ads. What in the world makes you think that I have money to buy what you are advertising me? 1 week ago:
I have colleagues who are happy enough to see personalised ads. Sad as it may be, we live in Brave New World and people are happy to take soma.

What makes you think advertisers are selling to you? They are selling YOU to the next advertisers. As in, they are selling your data!

AI written works are also so stupid. It feels soulless. Indeed, I think authors could command premium for royalty and copyright because human written literature will be priceless.
- Comment on Nuclear energy enjoyers vindicated again after the rise in oil and gas prices. 1 week ago:
Nuclear is the lesser evil. Even my former boss who is an environmental scientist agree we should still maintain nuclear power plants, but only as stop gap before renewable energy becomes more ubiquitous.

Kinda like they refuse to admit we all came from Africa and and thus our ancestors are black.

The Battlefield series are the only games I played from EA. I stopped after 4.
- Comment on EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN 1 week ago:
I think at this stage it’s children who are easily impressionable and using their parent’s credit cards to buy EA games, is the company’s customer base. EA hasn’t produced a good game for a long awhile. Battlefield games had been the only games I played much before 2020, but since then I stopped caring about EA.

Good thing I boycott Starbucks.
- Comment on I was told it would be a cultural experience 2 weeks ago:
I never heard of Buccees before but YouTuber Joe Scott hyped it up. But he’s Texan so of course he’s proud.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 2 weeks ago:
Doing those is not unreasonable, but not even having a bank account is way too far. I know of someone, who was later diagnosed with autism and doesn’t have a job due to condition, initially didn’t want a bank account for fear of online snooping.
Minimising digital footprint is perfectly fine, but trying to be off the grid and yet wants to participate in society and still engage in consumption is unreasonable. And this thinking isn’t just on one person, I saw many users in Reddit privacy stressing themselves out in trying to completely wipe off their digital footprints. Unless you participate in political activities, or really just wants to live completely isolated in a forest, being off the grid is totally unreasonable.

I’m OOL, what about furries and decentralised online communities?

Why did the person do that? I’m sure there is a reason for it so I try not to judge.
- Comment on he forgor 3 weeks ago:
You need the basic technical knowledge, but most of it won’t apply in the working world. People cut corners just enough that they won’t get into trouble. Although, depending where you are, open and flagrant corruption is normal.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 3 weeks ago:
I think given how a substantial number of users in Lemmy are old, I think there is simply a natural aversion to the new and grasping for straws. I never hear of younger folks with IT background dismiss AI completely, as much as Lemmy does. I’m not a fan of AI, especially how company shove AI to us, but to dismiss that it won’t evolve and improve is a ridiculous position to me.

Can you explain how quorom sensing is reasoning?

You think microorganisms can reason? Wow, AI haters are grasping for straws.
Honestly, I don’t understand Lemmy scoffing at AI and thinking the current iteration is all it ever will be. I’m sure no one thought that the automobile technology would go anywhere simply because the first model was running at 3mph. These things always takes time.
To be clear, I’m not endorsing AI, but I think there is a huge potential in years to come, for better or worse. And it is especially important to never underestimate something, especially by AI haters, because of what destructive potential AI has.
