And they looked remarkably similar! Must’ve been twins like us! Looks like “loving” twins runs through our family.

- Comment on The rich oppose clean energy because it is renewable. If clean energy became non renewable, or fossil fuels became renewable, they would no longer oppose a transition to clean energy technology 4 days ago:
I don’t think this is it. It’s simply a question of return on investment.
If I had oil industry related investments, I would want:
- supply from my investments to go up.
- demand for my supplied goods/services to go up.
Now if I am a small investor, it would make sense for me to slowly sell off my oil assets and invest into green energy IF: – I believe that there are investment opportunities in green energy that will give me a better return on investment than my current oil investments.
Whenever I sell an investment to pivot to some other investment, I undermine the value of my current investment. How’s that? Because I’m increasing the supply of my investment asset. This lowers the price.
Basically, if my oil stock was worth x, and if I put it for sale on the market, it’s now worth x-y, where y is some positive number.
Again, if I’m a small investor, y will be tiny as I’m not really increasing the supply of the oil stock by much.
BUT. If I’m an oil oligarch… Well, y is going to be VERY HIGH. It does not make monetary sense for me to sell off my assets and move them to green energy. I don’t necessarily have confidence that my losses (y) would be recouped through the ROI from green energy.
I’m a selfish, unempathetic asshole. I want to maintain my wealth. Therefore, I take the cheaper way out -> influence the government to delay green investment, so that demand for oil doesn’t fall.

Lmfao telling it to “not act like AI” in the beginning works for me. I like to tell it to “be as efficient as possible with the word count” to prevent most of the bs. Works decent enough for my purposes.
- Comment on What are some good places online to earn certificates or degrees that you can who you a prolific in said subject? Hopefully something free maybe medical coding? 6 days ago:
The university I graduated from: “University of the People”.
It’s an online uni in Pasadena, California. They’re regionally and nationally accredited. From an accreditation standpoint, they’re at par with other unis, so you won’t have to worry about that. Super affordable. Plus, they’re not a for profit thing, so that’s cool too.
There are a couple of drawbacks though. They won’t place you anywhere. I don’t know how the placement for other unis works, but it is quite non existent for UoPeople. The other drawbacks are again all of those that online education has in general.
- Comment on Do we need more users ? 3 weeks ago:
Here’s the thing imo. Bots used well can be really useful. The most attractive part about Reddit/Lemmy though is the comments. Seeing what people have to say about stuff is quite nice.
BUT. I can see how bots can be super helpful to subscribe to content where community interaction isn’t that important (like art posted by artists on Instagram, Twitter and so on). The main attraction is the art itself. Not the comments.
This way, I can see what my favorite instagram artists are up to without selling my soul to zuck.

Hm, maybe some of the agents invented immortality? Technology that could do away with mortality? Or maybe they just came across a cheat code? It’s kinda irrelevant how they ended up being immortal. What is relevant is what happened after immortality was achieved.
Death acted as a natural end to resource accumulation for a given agent. Immortality led to never before seen resource disparities. God emperor levels of resource disparities.
These accelerated war, which accelerated resource disparities which then accelerated war, which finally concluded with the great genocide.

The current ones suck. But yes, the concept is cool and I’m sure they’ll be perfected in the years to come.

THANK YOU SO FKIN MUCH.
AI is a new means of production. Our goal must be to sieze it, use it to improve the lives of all and improve its capabilities. Our goal should NOT be to fight the means of production itself.

I really like how they are destroying themselves lmao. Immigration from a low productivity country to a high productivity country is always an economic net positive. By curbing immigration, these idiots call for an economic recession.
But I mean hey, a fascist state killing itself is always a net positive ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ? 4 months ago:
Gen Z here. Watched quite a lot of gay porn since around age 11.5-12. The only thing I remember confusing me was why penises “looked like that”. In the sense, that they had a pink head, had a weird pyramid like spongy rubber-ey top and why they were so big.
Turns out, I was looking at cut cocks, and our school had removed all sex ed. The new syllabus just taught, “penis go in vagina -> woohooo congratulations -> babyyyyy”. Oh also, on an unrelated note, our textbooks also said that cell phones make people selfish and autistic lmao (Science 2 textbook, SSC Maharashtra, 2020).
Anyway, I don’t prefer video porn anymore cuz I find it very shallow. It’s good, but feels like eating candy. Written smut on the other hand has a lot more depth. It’s like eating a super rich fruit salad.
So do I think porn negatively affected me? I don’t think so.
- Comment on THE LEFT JUST DESTROYED THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY 4 months ago:
The joke is that Himmler had a family too. That doesn’t make his death tragic.
- Comment on THE LEFT JUST DESTROYED THIS BEAUTIFUL FAMILY 4 months ago:
Heinrich Himmler, prominent Nazi involved in the Holocaust.
Conservatives have been quick to jump at Charlie Kirk’s death being celebrated by saying, “but he had a family- wife and kids.”
Himmler had one too. Does that make his death tragic?
