But you could have said something along the lines of “LLM companies steal data, don’t accidentally give credence to the marketing idea that these things are sentient”

Now I’m imagining a dick measuring contest where the men care more about whose is measured most accurately for some reason, rather than showing off how long their dick is

Poor people are currently suffering from the attitude that people should just vote.

Lemmy is an Internet forum which means even the community spaces made for women are full of input from men. It’s also filled with people employed in tech which is a bastion of highly paid non-union white people. White people who also, as you point out, view themselves as enlightened allies and thus lash out when that image is marred. The closest you’ll find to allies are in queer spaces and the communist ones, but some members of those groups also frequently whip out the “no war but the class war” card right in your face, as if they would be the ones to know. I saw one of your original posts and knew exactly how it would shake out. I’m also really not surprised it’s a similar energy in here. I’m sorry.

Yikes

There are always people that have the mentality that they are different than other people

Not sure why that is though

I mean this comment makes total sense if we pretend that all photos are equally valuable and that the color balance is the only issue but not if we actually address the part where the photographer ostensibly took a bunch of poorly framed candids and failed to capture the energy of the moment

Oops, sorry, I forgot you already decided that the photographer must have been the good guy so that means I’m wrong

They’re saying the one person walking is being selfish because of how many more people in cars are being inconvenienced. The argument only makes sense if you ignore how we got here. It ignores how inconvenient cars have made getting around for people who actually live in the places they’re passing through and how the number of pedestrians is thus artificially low; it ignores that the only reason signals are necessary is because of how absolutely shitty and inconsiderate drivers are compared to pedestrians and cyclists; it’s only counting one person per car which is lower than the actual U.S. average of 1.5 people, but it’s unsurprising that this person considers a 5 passenger vehicle a perfectly reasonable mode of transportation for 100 individuals to be driving all by their lonesome, and unsurprising they don’t think about people who are using them differently.

In short, you’re looking at an asshole who has never even thought about their own opinion, let alone anyone else’s.

Fully believed I was about to discover his NileLead channel when I clicked this link

Cocaine has some additional interactions with the body that one might consider fairly pivotal.

This genuinely just improved my outlook on buying new blades

I [straight] learned sometime 2015-20 that a lot of my queer friends’ friends have questions about them hanging out with me and other straight people, and that they all center around whether we are outgoing and supportive, not whether we’re bigots or anything. ‘Straight’ has become a stand in there for ‘won’t show up to events, won’t message back, won’t reciprocate’. And honestly surveying my straight friends it’s generally true; they’re monogamous and isolated in that fashion or they’re single and they’re dying a slow death on the apps or in a mediocre situationship. And they all love to stay home when invited out and they all love to talk about modern loneliness.

More recently, I also wonder if pandemic messaging about distancing also hit young people who had internalized the whole nuclear family model harder and left them alone or with 1-2 people as their entire support network, as opposed to non heteronormative people who instinctively knew they’d need to help each other out once again. I am always loathe to view the bright side and risk minimizing just how badly we let so many people down. But the lack of centralized support was a springboard for many still thriving community programs and support networks where I live.

They claim they may have a way to remove Glaze and Nightshade, two of the tools protecting images hosted on Cara from being used as training data. Which means right now they don’t have a way to remove it, which means Cara is still working, which I’m not implying is going to forever be true nor am I particularly informed; I just read the whole post.

Fuel stove, MSR Jetboil something of the sort. I use white gas and refillable canisters. Food’s faster, I’m lower impact. I love a good fire but it’s not what mother earth needs every night right now.

Fitting username. Explaining this to people irl who respect and listen to me is hard; can’t imagine trying to inform someone online who’s simultaneously trying to win the conversation you’re having

This act is papering over a racially segregated classroom instead of addressing the underlying social mechanisms through which this was accomplished historically and is maintained today. You, *you specifically*, need to learn to see things from other perspectives.

What’s neat about an open poll like the one they ran is that it includes most of the people who care about weighing in. Maybe you can read an AI summary about statistically relevant sample sizes? It might be more useful to learn about the math, or to skip the summary and find a useful website, like this calculator from Qualtrics that will show you that a sample size of 175,000 is more than 10 times what you’d need to achieve a roughly 99% level of confidence with a 1% margin of error.

We’re talking about the same duckduckgo that had a huge poll about this right? The only data point that exists regarding what people want is that of the 175,354 users who took the poll, only 10% wanted AI features.

Don’t know what to say! Branch out maybe.

Of course you’d rather have an easy moment in time than a hard day. If your air conditioned trip to the market is preceded by ten hours combined time commuting to, from, and performing work then I think you just prefer being inside to out. Because that’s a long day for a hunter and not something they’d do five to seven days a week. For a lot of human history people had so much time on their hands that they would throw random festivals, make giant earthworks, form intricate gift giving rituals to keep up relations with faraway tribes. Not everyone, sure! But enough that you know about all of this.

I’d rather gather berries for forty minutes! Or wade around on Californian shores trapping fish in the silty shallows. Or live in a world where we ate what we grew instead of feeding it to cattle or turning it into ethanol fuel. All of which are ways of life that have been practiced before, and ways of life that are perfectly possible, which begs the question, where on earth does the opposition to doing better come from? You’re not a fuckin monkey.
