- Comment on Hype-fueling science fiction or plausible scenarios? 5 days ago:
I can’t take made up curves seriously
- Comment on Did Trump’s Scientific Advisor Admit That The US Possesses Space And Time Manipulation Tech? Internet Is Wilding 1 week ago:
I’m surprised it didn’t end as a crypto announcement
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 1 week ago:
It’s not even a question when we’re literally fighting for due process.
- Comment on China launches military drills around Taiwan 3 weeks ago:
The premise was that there really isn’t a historical equivalent. The analogy being shit is kind of the point.
- Comment on China launches military drills around Taiwan 3 weeks ago:
Like I said, hard to find a historical equivalent. Like which side would you compare the execution of landlords? The north paid the slavers restitutions instead.
- Comment on China launches military drills around Taiwan 3 weeks ago:
That is a much better example. I will borrow this for the future. Thank you.
- Comment on China launches military drills around Taiwan 3 weeks ago:
It’s hard for Americans to think of a historical equivalent. Imagine if Texas managed to splinter off and join the UK common wealth during the Civil war.
- Comment on FediForum Has Been Canceled 3 weeks ago:
Stop confusing young autistic vulnerable people.
— Date Unknown
I’m old and autistic and not confused by the fact trans women are women. Hope that helps.
- Comment on Replit CEO Amjad Masad says learning to code is a waste of time, citing Dario Amodei's prediction that AI may generate essentially all code by next year. 3 weeks ago:
Because shit for brains says we just need to train our AI models until they’re sentient. So that means we need all our workers reviewing the output of AI as much as possible until that happens.
- Comment on Replit CEO Amjad Masad says learning to code is a waste of time, citing Dario Amodei's prediction that AI may generate essentially all code by next year. 3 weeks ago:
Until AI can sexually assault their workers, can it really be said they’re qualified for the position?
- Comment on Replit CEO Amjad Masad says learning to code is a waste of time, citing Dario Amodei's prediction that AI may generate essentially all code by next year. 3 weeks ago:
Lol, yeah. Keep paying us developers to write that philosopher stone. For writing general AI my rate is 100x because it’s magic you can’t explain.
- Comment on My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a “Japanese woman”, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda? 4 weeks ago:
There’s a plenty of ideological reasons, but I think it is partly the environment being so stressful makes it harder for people to be considerate to new viewpoints or people.
- Comment on Just watched the movie Hacksaw Ridge. Got me thinking can people in the military turn down an order because they disagree with it on sensible grounds? Like Trump ordering them to invade CN? 1 month ago:
This is why they fired the JAG lawyers at the Pentagon: there won’t be any legal expert opinions in the military to tell the soldiers the order is illegal.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 1 month ago:
Billionaires are often referred to as dragons because they horde wealth. A Guillotine that could know the difference and decide to only harm billionaires which be a technological marvel.
- Comment on Sergey Brin says AGI is within reach if Googlers work 60-hour weeks 1 month ago:
Real AGI is a Guillotine that only removes the heads of dragons.
- Comment on China: Chinese Communist Party Membership Positively Correlates With Citizens' Wealth As Party Members Gain 'Preferential Access' To More Valuable Housing, Study Finds 2 months ago:
It’s small potatoes really. The real money is in insider trading.
- Comment on Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burkas. 3 months ago:
Whatever you just said is like demanding a burka. It’s performative stupid.
- Comment on Equal under the law or something 3 months ago:
They really are arguing that murking a CEO has more potential to change things than just about anything else.
- Comment on Is the Fediverse Too Complex? Can It Embrace Simplicity Without Losing Its Identity? 3 months ago:
I think the fediverse is friendly enough. Instead of competing with corporations with streamlined experiences, develop power user tools that actually improve the content on the platform. Like I do want a powerful fediverse search tool, but it doesn’t need to be built into every server.
- Comment on If a hostile country has installed a puppet leader to dismantle your government from the inside and the only thing that would expidite its destruction is a violent revolution how do you combat this? 4 months ago:
First all, glad your friend recognized this.
I found this article to be a prescient good grounding: wagingnonviolence.org/…/10-things-to-do-if-trump-…
I’m finding local communities to participate in (potlucks, picnics, movie night, anything that doesn’t spend more money). Sending holiday cards to my neighbors, anything to connect and integrate because what comes next will test all our bonds.
- Comment on Will Republicans try another Federal Right to Work attempt? 4 months ago:
They’re onto killing a bigger fish: The National Labor Review Board.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 4 months ago:
I want his story to be told then have a jury nullify the case. But I don’t see how any of that will happen.
- Comment on Not disparaging the dead or anything. But why does it seem in the US we are expected to feel sorry for a person who overdoses on illegal drugs? Didn't they make the choice knowing the outcome? 5 months ago:
Why should I feel sorry for you and answer your question?
- Comment on If Nintendo went belly up today the retro community would have a field day 5 months ago:
Oracle or someone worse would buy them. That’s how capitalism works.
- Comment on The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’ 5 months ago:
Musk just had a judge in Texas say they’re going to review the bid. I guess we know who the other bidder was now.
- Comment on Do the ultra-rich consume popular media? 5 months ago:
Consider that many people who watched the Joker and idolize him didn’t get that the movie was speaking against the character. Fascists don’t understand camp, and so they don’t get that it’s a critique unless the director explicitly tells them so.
- Comment on Watching passport bros get bodied by SEA women is a complete mood. Get rekt manlet. 5 months ago:
Male FUPA. The lower abdomen above the genitals that is extra fatty on the individual.
- Comment on Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams 5 months ago:
But then how will billionaires get to say they’re literally thinking of the big picture because they got to go on a brief space joy ride?
- Comment on The grand prize 5 months ago:
Please deliver this to my moon base
- Comment on Sympathy for their PTSD 5 months ago:
It does if there is a pattern of killing children and those who respond to medical emergencies. We all know they target the ambulances. Seems there’s a terrorist behind every kid, uninhabited graveyard, and hospital. History will not be kind.
