  • If you're still on Lemmy...

    Jump

  • The only thing Twitter has over something like Bluesky is the fact that Bluesky is so milquetoast and nice that you don't really get any of the drama you get on Twitter. Like, I never see comic fans going "Black Bolt would DESTROY Saitama in a fight!" and anime fans going "Nu uh! ONE PUNCH!" on Bluesky.

    Same with Lemmy tbh. Lemmy is 80% politics, 5% memes about politics, 5% memes about Lemmy being better than Reddit, and 10% Linux.

  • Sensitivity and fellowship, yet my (former) friend who is a big stoner has gone all-in on conspiracy theories and is championing the Reform party in the UK because Labour are apparently race traitors. Guess weed can't do all the lifting.

  • It's a fairly common lining for coffins that you're gonna either transport internationally or put in mausoleums. It keeps the body preserved for longer and takes about 100 years to break down.

  • Well... Until you get someone like Trump in charge and he decides that the stipend only goes to those that praise him and strips the stipend from anyone critical of him or his ideology.

  • If you only funded drugs through public funding, that means the government has a say in what drugs get funded and which don't, meaning any and all drugs that don't affect the broadest number of people simply won't get funded.

    Drugs will no longer be for all people, it'll be strictly the people that vote for the government in charge. So... No hormone treatments, no birth control, no vaccines, no aids research, nothing that doesn't explicitly align with the government.

  • You're hiring junior programmers for $145k a year? Americans have too much money, I swear. The rest of the world has juniors on less than a third of that if they're in Europe.

  • It will happen eventually

  • You'd think you could have doubled down on the joke and revealed that the person on the other end of the phone wasn't actually a person at all, it was an AI.

  • Yeah but Ælfwine got there by accident, and wasn't escorted by elves.

  • It's neither, it's the Will of Eru Illuvatar that determines whether you can travel the Straight Road or not. Ælfwine travelled the Straight Road and landed at Tol Eressëa in 869AD after fleeing the Danes, and he was a Man, not an Elf.

  • Violence

    Jump

  • A more accurate morality would be "Violence should never be the first course of action".

  • What is one moral you have that most people don't agree with?

    Jump

  • If you're a juror and you vote guilty, knowing that the person you're voting guilty for will be executed, if they are later found not guilty, your head should be next on the chopping block.

    I am fundamentally against the death penalty. It is not a power the government should ever have.

  • We messed up somewhere along the way

    Jump

  • Granted humanity had to work pretty hard to get the planet to grow enough food. A lot of selective breeding went into making the food we eat today what it is, and in order to achieve that you had to invent agriculture and everything that came with it.

  • Not to mention the stigma, especially from unrelated doctors who see the med in your file.

    Jump

  • What's recreational about it?

    "Oh boy! I feel amazing! I can get out of bed in the night without falling over my floordrobe!"

    Yeah, sure... Super fun.

  • I disagree that Reddit would gain in value over time if they kept banning automation, because it is increasingly difficult to avoid AI-generated material polluting your dataset, no matter how much you avoid automation and try banning it. Inevitably, some AI-generated material is going to get in.

    It's a problem in two ways:

    1. The vast vast majority of data on Reddit has already been sold, so you can't rely on that data for future revenue
    2. The remaining data that's current is polluted by AI and is therefore worth less than the historical data because the more AI pollutes your dataset, the more likely it is to lead to Model Collapse, where an LLM is poisoned due to unverified data generated by other LLMs

    I am firmly of the belief that sites like Internet Archive will be some of the most valuable companies in the AI space, because they hold an immense amount of untainted data created prior to 2019.

  • I'm not sure why anyone would ever buy Reddit stock. There is no money to be made in Reddit. They failed to make any money before they went public, and they're failing to make any money now.

    They tried the whole NFT thing, failed. They're trying to sell the data to AI companies but once that's sold they can't sell any more of it because the benefit of Reddit data was historical data unpolluted by AI, but new Reddit data is polluted by ChatGPT posts and is therefore worth less.

    It's not even about banning people, it's about the fact that Reddit was never a sustainable business model from the start, at least not in the traditional capitalist sense where you're actively trying to make a profit to please shareholders.

    The only benefit to owning Reddit stock is if you have voting shares and can manipulate the algorithm to benefit you in some way. Suppress some voices, amplify others to back what you want to do etc. but you need money to burn in order to achieve that because you aren't going to be making money directly by owning Reddit stock and manipulating public opinion takes time.

  • The funny thing is you can still buy Office standalone but you have to actively go looking for it and Microsoft doesn't advertise it because 365 subscriptions make more money.

    Microsoft doesn't want you buying standalone versions of software, but they still have to sell it because there's still a market for it.

  • Pay attention

    Jump

  • To be honest very few people know theory. Like, you can be anti-fascist but you don't need to have actually read Das Kapital or anything to be that.
