  • Supreme Court lets Trump block transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex marker

  • The colors should match the colors on the flag. Blue with 50 stars for the boys, horizontal red and white stripes for the girls

  • Yeah, this was just going round in my head

  • People have individual anatomies and there is no one-size-fits-all approach? Just because something worked great with a previous partner, that doesn't necessarily mean it will work well with future partners?

  • Enough dopamine thank you

  • I'm still at the Monolith in Expedition 33. It was really good, I'd like to finish it, just not a huge priority and I'm in no rush

  • Glocking stick?

  • Why Aldi Is America’s Fastest Growing Grocery Store

  • Yup, there is/was a thing where stores wouldn't let cashiers sit down because, according to customer service logic (and the opinions of a few extremely opinionated customers), it looks "lazy".

  • It is a weaponization of ambiguity on where to draw the line; sailing the Ship of Theseus all the way from one end of morality to another

  • It's not about getting rid of cars entirely. It's about prioritizing other modes of transport that are more efficient at moving people for 90% of daily trips they need to make.

    Cars will still exist, they will just not be most people's first choice for going to/from places. Ideally they exist more as a tool for specific situations where needed, such as work that covers a broad/rural area and requires large/specialized tools.

  • Come in and find out.

  • The problem is that, for the property owning class, the unaffordability of homes is broadly a feature and not a bug.

  • Scams, silence, rejection: US job seekers describe ‘depressing’ work prospects

  • Yeah it turns out having a politician who actually believes in popular things motivates people to go vote for them

  • What? Any and all filters an intelligent species could encounter need to be factored in statistically, even if not all of those filters will 100% be encountered

  • It really did

  • When I see something impressive generated by a computer, I may go "wow", but when I see something, displayed on a computer or not, that I know a person went and handcrafted so many details on, I am inspired by that dedication to the craft. The human elements within art are a big part of what makes it meaningful.

    If someone wants to use AI for the parts of a work they don't care about (or as placeholders) so they can pour their heart into a different aspect of the work, fine. If they want the computer to do all the work for them, they have created slop. This is independent of whether we live in a society that values gross resource accumulation or one that shares equally.

    I will say that the push towards slop primarily stems from our societal zeitgeist. The mentality is "I need to make as much money with as little effort as possible", and sometimes people really do need that money to pay bills. I think that's a big reason why it's such a problem. There is little monetary value in actual expression for the effort required when compared with mass produced "content" for dollars.

  • Perhaps it's a contextual Great Filter only for instances of intelligent life in which capitalistic modes of production win out.

  • The closest thing we have to this is probably protondb but I've never seen any super in-depth tweaks from users there. I'm also not 100% sure if they have non steam games posted there. If they do I imagine there's not exactly a ton of posted guides by users

  • We're in the New Gilded Age

  • Meet the AI vegans. They are refusing to use artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons

    Jump

  • I think it depends on the reason you do not use it. The Luddites were primarily frustrated over automation displacing their high-skill job with low-skilled ones that produced worse quality goods. It's a 2 for 1: we are losing the jobs we need to survive, but also we lose the personal touch from the work of artisans + lose appreciation for their talent.

    I am not carte blanche against AI as a concept, but it really does seem like a technology that makes interactions worse quality, more depersonalized, and on top of that it has a horrible externalized environmental cost which benefits nobody in the long run.

    Addendum: I believe technology has the power to be liberating when it provides for all of us, and oppressive when it concentrates wealth+power into the hands of moguls and tyrants.
