- Comment on Usually the word "alternative" should be replaced with the word "bullshit". Ex: alternative facts, alternative medicine 15 hours ago:
Sometimes the word alternate should be replaced with the word bullshit
- Comment on hol up 2 days ago:
Why didn’t the American people build ships across the ocean? Maybe to Eastern Asia, that would be closer. Africa is also close to Brazil.
- Comment on Sitting up and waiting. 2 days ago:
What does this have to do with technology?
- Comment on hol up 2 days ago:
Wait, was Christianity and the command to spread the gospel message the reason why the age of exploration happened in Europe, as opposed to elsewhere?
- Comment on The balance of security and privacy sounds weird when privacy IS security. 3 days ago:
Privacy is a part of security. There’s more to security than just privacy.
- Comment on Is it normal that my world views, opinions of myself, and mood changes extremely rapidly (within seconds/minutes) several times per day? 4 days ago:
No, this is not normal. Have you considered speaking to a therapist about this? I understand therapists can be expensive, and there’s no real substitute for proper professional help, but I personally found talking to LLMs useful while I was waiting to see a therapist (for an unrelated reason).

Relevant username ‘xx’, lol
- Comment on Iran missiles kill 10 in Israel in night of mutual attacks 1 week ago:
Why did they do this? If they hadn’t attacked Iran, this wouldn’t have happened. This is sad and meaningless.
- Comment on It is wild to know that "prophetic dreams" have been documented and verified, and even more wild that it isn't really that astonishing when one thinks about it. 1 week ago:
People can misremember their dreams after an event happens, people can be subconsciously expecting an event to happen, and so dream about it, and coincidences also exist.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 week ago:
So would it have a similar effect to a radiation bomb, but without the radioactive fallout?
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 week ago:
How explosive is the explosion of 1kg black hole?
- Comment on YSK: db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com set up a AI image generator bot on the Threadiverse for anyone here to freely use 1 week ago:
This isn’t useful for me specifically, but thanks for sharing as
I’m sure many people will find it useful! - Comment on Donald Trump is going to make the troops at his birthday parade swear an oath of fealty to him during the event. 1 week ago:
What’s the typo?
- Comment on What was life like for the "average" person living in Nazi Germany 1 week ago:
The sad reality is that although there were some dissenters, the majority of the people in the country supported the Nazis because they actually believed it, they were taken in by the propaganda, which is insidious and ubiquitous. Humans find it easy to hate an out group, forming an in group. Dehumanising others who are different from us is a natural part of human psychology, and it’s an achievement that in the modern world we have achieved a widespread morality which is so accepting - although obviously we still have far to go.
- Comment on Why so much hate toward AI? 1 week ago:
What do you mean, they give open weights models back that anyone can use. Only the proprietary corporate AI is exploitative.
- Comment on Everybody has something to teach you. Some people teach you how *not* to be. 2 weeks ago:
Maybe many people do, but there must be some people that are just boring and don’t teach you anything.
- Comment on All this AI nonsense is an attempt to capitalize on the mere act of human thinking 2 weeks ago:
That would be the case if corporations owned all the LLMs. However, it is possible to run open weights LLMs locally on your one hardware.
- Comment on Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage? 2 weeks ago:
The only drug I do is either prescription drugs, or the caffeine I get from the occasional chocolate.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
What is this racist bullshit?
Not engaging with any other part of your comment, but is Islam a race, now? I thought it was a religion.
