  Trans women truly do be making fire documentaries. I have absolutely no bias of any kind what so ever :3

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you can’t afford a vacation, an AI app will sell you pictures of one⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like our modern life, due to cultural and economic factors, is just slowly… then rapidly, heading towards being composed almost entirely of a simulacrum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just up the production quality and they'll love it, Trust me bro 👍⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You joke but I’m being dead serious when I say that I’d enjoy it if someone sent something like that to me

  …I’d probably feel slightly lesser due to me struggling with coming up with something as creative as that

  Also known as Harvest now, decrypt later. And it’s a serious security threats that Signal must consider and handle

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  LLM are good at certain things, especially involving language (unsurprisingly). They’re tools. They’re not the be-all-end-all like a lot of tech bros proselytize them as, but they are useful if you know their limitations

  If you use them properly, they can be a valuable addition to one’s search for information. The problem is that I don’t think most users use them properly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's not?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I love this

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨one bright second⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I do also want to point out that stuff like “The conservation of energy” law, in other words, that energy cannot be created or destroyed, does not hold for our universe with our current models. An expanding universe violates the time-translation symmetry

  This is our current models. This is what our current physics says. And we know it’s incomplete.

  When it comes to scientific predictions, you always, always, need the caveat, “under our current model of”.

  A web browser is already basically a “virtual machine”. You can basically even run native code using WebAssembly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kurzgesagt – AI Slop Is Killing Our Channel⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No wonder veritasium has felt “off” for me for a good while as well. A few years ago I deliberately stopped watching that channel, seems there was a deeper reason behind my superficial reasons and gut feelings

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exposing Why Farmers Can't Legally Replant Their Own Seeds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s like the start of a movie having a disclaimer about “You wouldn’t download a car!!!”

  Pirate the seeds. And seed them for others.

  Lite Brite was the original pixel art

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magic is real, we just know how it works and call it technology⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but that bullion dollar industry only grew over time. The first crystals were made in small labs pushing the edge of magic. If you let a magical world develop industrialization long enough, surely they will try to optimize their magic as far as possible as well

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Frankly focusing on the carbon output of AI models is a red herring. It’s not a significant part of the problem and just makes people complacent in the form of feeling like we’ve achieved something if it succeeds. It’s not worse than stuff like video games

  Focus on the actual negative effects of AI, but carbon intensity isn’t a major one

  I will only accept an airgapped locally run and true FOSS sexbot in my home!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve literally seen people argue that since breast milk is unpasteurized then raw cow milk is fine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientific unprogress...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A joke doesn’t work when it’s indistinguishable from the stuff that people actually say

  You are on a written medium, where there is no tone, body language, or otherwise wider context. What do you expect to happen? People can’t read your mind

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet discourse is wonderful ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the “Pills that make you green” comic, and it’s an intentionally thinly veiled metaphor on trans people

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing that would scare me the most is that the parents don’t even know that such things are possible on their devices

  Maybe my opinion of others is low, but I find it highly unbelievable most would even realize that something like programming is understandable, or tinkering around with music, or other stuff along those veins. Maybe drawing is still realistic them

  But that would just go to show that there’s a lack of all of this in the first place, even for parents

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And they even get a seizure when you take their ipads away⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you block any of the unproductive apps, and allow only the productive ones, and give the kid “free” access to what they have on the iPad, they will tinker with what’s available

  They might fuss around for a bit if they know there’s other stuff, but ultimately they can’t force your hand, and it should still be plenty fun to do the harder things

  I can’t figure out what’s strange about her hands, and aren’t the blinds from the original image? Which I presume is real?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I somt think it would take a thousand years for modern society. As complexity increases so does the risk for cascading failure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is very funny to me.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unless they’re like right wing or nationalist, people are in general not in denial about our past. More or less the same as in other countries

  Most countries have done horrible shit, and it sucks a whenever it gets denied

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨healthy nutrition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not necessarily. I’m pretty sure there’s more parts to binge eating than just eating a lot of food in a short period of time. More psychology involved such as struggling to control yourself/how much you eat, and likely involving overeating by a lot

  But like, do read up on expert sources than just me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Capitalism directly rewards this kind of behaviour. Maybe it would still be a problem in other systems, but capitalism very much exarcabates it by design.

  Linux has become the most popular operating system on Azure as over 60% of customer cores run Linux-based workloads.

  Even on Microsoft Azure they mostly use Linux
