  • The ‘doorman fallacy’: why careless adoption of AI backfires so easily

    Jump

  • The “doorman fallacy” is a major complaint I’ve had about past managers. I’d say things like “they let Excel manage the business. If there’s a cost without a painfully obvious benefit, it’ll be mindlessly cut. They put zero thought into intangible benefits. That’s why I’m always suspicious of new managers.”

  • AI “training” is theft from human artists. Ban AI-gen completely.

  • Why does the right complain about the left "virtue signaling", when it's often the right who does so?

  • To me, actual real-world consequences matter more than my own poor wording.

  • If ICE is deporting migrant families with a valid visa, is the U.S. then "inflexible"?

    Yes. If anything, “inflexible” is a charitable description. My government is breaking its own laws.

    Is it then a migrant father's 'reckless choice' to have entered the country with his children? (To be safe: The answer is, no, it is the U.S. state that is reckless.)

    It’s possible for multiple parties to be wrong at the same time.

    If the father entered the US before Trump’s presidency, then no, it wasn’t reckless at all. If the father entered the country after Trump became president, then yes, he was reckless. Trump’s loudly and frequently stated goal has been to reduce the number of immigrants in the US, and a responsible father would have been aware of that. Basic research on a country you’re moving your family to isn’t too much to ask.

    That does not, in any way, shield the government from responsibility. They created this illegal, inhumane mess.

    The most weird point with your comment is that you even offend the victim calling him a "dipshit" and a "zealot."

    He put ideology before the safety of his child. To me, that’s not something that can be overlooked. I stand by my words.

  • In this situation, there are multiple bad guys with complex motivations. The more accurately and harshly one describes the CCPs crimes against humanity, the less comprehensible and sympathetic the parents become.

    When someone becomes a parent, their child is supposed to be their first priority. Instead, these parents chose to put their child in danger over nothing but a collection of legends. They did this for six years, despite knowing about the unjust, ruthless authoritarianism of the CCP. I’m not trying to downplay the cruelty of the CCP. I’m just angry, and mostly concerned with the child. Will this be on his record forever? Will he ever be allowed to live a normal life in China?

  • I’d feel worse if this was a native, “home grown” religion. Since Christianity in China was imported by Europeans, though, I feel like this is a foreseeable result of the husband’s irresponsible behavior. He should have grown up and put away his fantasies of an invisible sky wizard, especially when he became a father. YOUR CHILD COMES FIRST, DIPSHIT. How much of a zealot must this guy be?

    Of course, the ultimate problem is the CCPs inflexibility. The kid had zero say in the situation, though, and it’s not like the CCP sprang into existence last week. His parents were supposed to look out for him, but consciously made an irrational, reckless choice instead.

  • I don’t exactly know, but I’ve met conservatives who are highly skilled in their own complex fields of expertise. They can’t possibly be stupid and still be good at their jobs.

    I think dismissing people as “stupid” just helps build barriers. We need to understand why conservatives do what they do. Why do they consistently vote against their own interests? Why are compassion and empathy seen as weaknesses?

  • It’s not quite as simple as stupidity. I think it’s poor critical thinking, plus a strong resistance to questioning their own beliefs. Combined, those things do appear to be stupidity, but there’s a difference.

    It seems like every time someone mentions Lemmy apps, someone says that one app is better for one thing but another app is better for something else. Plus, if the unpaid, overworked dev pulls a disappearing act, what used to be a great app becomes outdated garbage. Screw that.
