Life is already unpredictable. We can take some safety measures, but we cant pretend that not doing this particular thing is going to keep our history under control. We dont have anything under control.

Ohh so its purpose is to push dirt to the corners so you clean it up later? Doesnt seem that bad. My robot is one of those with dumb spining brushes and minuscule dirt compartment.

Put a tall little flag on top of each. Well, draw attention to them somehow, not that hard.

The perfect anti-publicity.
- Comment on China solves 'century-old problem' with new analog chip that is 1,000 times faster than high-end Nvidia GPUs 1 week ago:
Digital systems are built on analog systems, as you observed. A continuous voltage range is reduced to two possible states: high voltage (the upper part of that range) and low voltage (the lower part of that range). Then, we design algorithms that manipulate these high/low voltages that only consider the two possibilities of either being high or low. Since we dont consider what the actual voltages are, just if they are high or low, we are doing digital computing, we are not taking full advantage of the analog potential of the physical objects we are using underneath the sheets.
- Comment on Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code 2 months ago:
Volume means nothing. It could easily be writing 99.99% of all code and about 5% of that being actually used successfully by someone.

Im sure the us uses its tech dominance to sway political opinions one way or another in my country (brazil). And spying on people is a requirement for that. It seems like an attitude in line with the history of the relations between us and brazil (and countless other countries). China probably tries that too, although i dont have a strong historical evidence for that disposition from china.

Soon aurora store may stop working. They could add some crap to the apks in the play store that checks whether the phone has google services. So either the devs put their apks somewhere, or they put their binaries on the play store, which will just be a useless blob for those that dont have play services. Then we get another shitty cat an mouse game about spoofing play services, them catching up, on repeat.

Linux handheld with a 4g usb modem, doing calls over the internet. Just an idea, im not doing this, nor do i know how practical it actually is.
- Comment on Instagram Caught Hiding Posts That Say "Immigrants Make the Country Great" 2 months ago:
Sure. I dont want to demonize people that arent left. Theres a portion of those that align with us on certain topic, some are apathic, and some are also violently against us.
Sure I may be taken by propaganda sometimes. Its not easy to tell. But focusing on specific issues helps clear that a bit. Someone that calls themselves “left” but doesnt believe in a completely socialized healthcare system, do they really have a leftist view on this topic? Im all for joining forces for some cause, but are the wealthy “leftists” really for, or against, inheritance taxes, socialized healthcare, …?
Besides, this doesnt touch on the issues of social networks priviledging certain political positions. If you look at instagram, most posts that appear are recomendations of the network to the specific user, rather than posts of who they follow. The interface pushes you off of what you intended to see and into a personalised recomendations playlist. Demobilizing “progressive” content à la us Democrat party gets normal reach in those platforms, while actual mobilizing content gets reduced reach.
- Comment on Instagram Caught Hiding Posts That Say "Immigrants Make the Country Great" 2 months ago:
There is a finger on the scale though. Youre underestimating its weight. When we disagree on the “left” having money and sharing stuff, etc, i think we actually just disagree on who is the left. In my view, the left is probably a smaller group than in your view. This smaller group i consider left doesnt have much money, and does get a diminished voice in social media despite engaging a lot (relative to its demographic proportion).
- Comment on Instagram Caught Hiding Posts That Say "Immigrants Make the Country Great" 2 months ago:
I asked which approach requires more money, not who has more. You said the left doesnt want to spend that money, ok. Maybe the mass of liberals collectively has more money, maybe. Not the left though. And the network cooperation part? Which agendas are being priviledged by the recomendation algorithms in social medias?
- Comment on Instagram Caught Hiding Posts That Say "Immigrants Make the Country Great" 2 months ago:
Which approach do you think requires more money and cooperation from the network management?

If people receive low wages to do a job that no one wants to do, sorry but it isnt a great country.
- Comment on Upvotes and downvotes are public information on Lemmy 2 months ago:
I think its a fair assumption that most people make that whatever data which isnt explicitly displayed to a regular user is not public. Having likes be public but hidden is misleading.

Assuming people use a vpn is a bit of a stretch. I dont know anyone that does that constantly.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 2 months ago:
Problems would exist in any system, but not the same problems. Each system has its set of problems and challenges. Just look at history, problems change. Of course you can find analogies between problems, but their nature changes with our systems. Hunger, child mortality, pollution, having no free time, war, censorship, mass surveilence,… these are not constant through history. They happen more or less depending on the social systems in place, which vary constantly.

Me? The marginalisation of a group depends on me personal conceptions???
Society marginalises groups, not a single person. Its a cultural phenomenon that affects these groups whether we like it or not.

Right, but the word transfers the marginalization of vegans to ‘ai vegans’.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 3 months ago:
Agreed, and they are also marginalized

Im a proud jet vegan myself, not that i have a choice, but still

Perfect

Im also a gun vegan, a car vegan, a facebook vegan, an exercise vegan (unfortunately), a windows vegan, … just not actual vegan.
I feel like thats a bad way to use the word vegan.

Also too ambiguous of a term, could also mean an ai chatbot that pretends to be a vegan person.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 3 months ago:
Yes, it sounds like marginalizing normal reasonable people.

‘Fun’ and ‘chill’ are not the same concept. Fan things can be irritating, can make you excited and go through various emotions.

Learning to do things yourself is exercise for your brain. It doesnt matter that you wont apply that exact skill later, but being well exercised youll be fit to more easily solve problems in the future. Dont underestimate the destructive impact that outsourcing your cognition can have on you brain.
