  • Judge accused of helping man evade immigration agents is released after arrest

    Jump

  • Releasing her doesn't matter, the message has already been sent, the intention is clear. To intimidate those that would defy their fascist operations. To silence critics that fear retribution. To say for all to hear, "if we can do this to a judge, imagine what we can do to you."

  • Pope Francis has died

    Jump

  • I understand the abhorrent history of church run schools, but what did Pope Francis, specifically, do to garner such hatred from you? He's been the most liberal pope we've ever had? Celebrating the previous popes death, I get, but Francis?

    Why is Jean-Luc Picard so hot 🙏

    Jump

  • Because he is so damned competent. A true leader that cares about his crew, and who respects life and people. He's a student of history, an amateur archeologist, and he has his own damn saddle.

  • I mean, don't buy new HP stuff, you can find it used literally everywhere (or just sail the high seas). I just said it's OK to enjoy it, not give that cunt more money.

    Shit, man, I still refuse to eat chik filet.

  • yeah, zero interest in supporting kamala "keep arming isreal" fucking harris again.

  • financially supporting someone who is actively dismantling our government at the whim of an increasingly authoritarian traitor is quite a bit different then enjoying a michael jackson song when it comes on the radio, or re-reading/watching harry potter.

  • This is why I haven't been able to bring myself to watch all the new Star Wars stuff. Or all the new Lord of the Rings stuff. Or all the new Marvel stuff. It's just all a fuckin hokey cash grab. However, there are still a LOT of new things coming out that are great. I watch a new (to me) movie just about every night, and there's been some real gems.

  • Your humanoid robot servant: a new hope for AGI! (A Guy Instead)

    Jump

  • I mean, the more money you have, the less compassionate you are. Having an abundance literally shrinks the part of your brain responsible for empathy. Essentially, excess money causes brain damage. These people at the top of the corporate ladder are, all of them, literally brain damaged. It's foolish to think that they will ever choose to reverse course, they know only one thing: they want the number in their account to go up. And they'd do literally anything to stop it from going down.

    "Eat the rich" isn't some anarchist punk slogan, it's instruction for a healthy species.

  • Your humanoid robot servant: a new hope for AGI! (A Guy Instead)

    Jump

  • I mean, yeah, you're right. However, the amount of jobs that robots like this would displace is astronomical. Like, the U.S. trucking industry is one of the biggest employers in the United States, so if ever we were to get truly automated trucking, the job losses would be catastrophic to millions of Americans. One can assume that something would have to be done to help ease the transition, likely in the form of stimulus checks and subsidized education. But that's just for one industry.

    These autonomous robots could be deployed in seemingly every industry, resulting in the potential loss of hundreds of millions of jobs (assuming widespread adoption and construction, that is). One would think that in order for society to continue, vast socialist reforms would have to be undertaken. The alternative would be something akin to having a couple people with the wealth and power of todays superpower nations, while the rest of humanity lives in abject squalor. I'd like to think that humans wouldn't let things get that bad...

    but even as I type that out I know it's a lie 😥 ugh. Fucking humans, man.

  • The NYT article talks about how a technician in a call center is operating it now, and whilst operating, their systems are gathering information to guide the robot in future un-manned tasks. Much like an LLM analyzes thousands of essays in order to "write" it's own, so to will these robots analyze thousands of hours of technician-guided activities in order to do it autonomously in the future.

    Very interesting, and very much the same as how they "taught" self-driving cars to operate. One can imagine that if efforts continue in these fields, it's only a matter of time before we actually do have fully automated robot butlers, that only need the occasional reboot, or technician support. This would be a massive boon to literally every service industry, from transporting patients in the hospital, working in a warehouse, assembly techs, to waiters and waitresses. Shit, how soon until they deploy them on the battlefield?

    Considering they have robot cafes operating in Japan already, we could see this happen sooner than we think, if the companies choose to share all their training data, that is.

    The only question that remains, is would this lead to a new era of prosperity and free time, or would this just be another tool to further enrich the entrenched capital?

  • What were you surprised to learn wasn't actually normal?

    Jump

  • I don't know if this counts, but when I was little I'd go to friends houses, then later in high school to my first serious girlfriends house, and I remember their families were like... loving? I loved spending time at my girlfriends house especially, hanging out with her Mom and her Dad even if my gf wasn't there. They were so nice, and you could tell had genuine affection for their children (and to some degree, me). I miss you Mr. and Mrs. Miller!
