  • Should I get an eclectus parrot?

    Jump

  • Parrots are incredibly smart, social and LOUD animals. They will require constant attention, care and enrichment. If not provided, they are very prone to depression, which comes with bunch of related health issues. They are fragile and require veterinarians that know how to deal with birds / exotic animals. They love destroying stuff and will destroy your house. For a bird that isnt just screaming all the time, you will have to feed them a balanced diet with fresh veggies, and ideally 12 hours sleep in a dark area.

    I love parrots, and I took care of one for a time before, but I wouldn't do that again until I am retired and settled down and know that I can dedicate myself to having one. You need to think about all the downsides and how to overcome them.

    Have you thought about an easier animal with a shorter lifetime such as a mice or an hamster? They are also extremely sociable and smart animals and also can like to be handled. This would give you a "trial" run of sorts where you can think about how it would like to be have a harder to care animal.

    Also, check out Clint's Reptiles on youtube. He has a series of videos about various different animals and how easy / hard it is to care for them along with explaining their general personalities.

  • David Hogg will not run for DNC post again after party orders redo of vice chair elections

  • Really? I would love to see your pictures defending your democracy at January 6, 2021 with your guns. Or sure, you might not care about your government. Did you do anything at all with your guns to defend people getting kidnapped left and right, illegally mind you, by ICE? You know, since you are so ready to defend whomever you call "us". Oh but by "us", you mean yourself of course.

    My dudes going to stop the right because he can get guns from Walmart lmao. Just say you like guns man, don't hide behind some excuse when this issue is killing children at schools right fucking NOW.

  • Google has made it much harder for GrapheneOS & CalyxOS to update to Android 16

    Jump

  • I think it was optimistic to think that GrapheneOS would survive long term while the only phones they worked with was made by, you know, Google. I understand their security requirements and respect that they did not make exceptions to be able to work with other devices, but I hope they now change their approach to this considering the alternative.

  • Ah yes, I can see how you can see the guy who used religion all his political career to his advantage and shat on the constitution just so he can stay in power longer, as a Kemalist.

  • Sorry, I made the comment about being on Fuck AI because of your edit to the original message. I wasn't trying to accuse you of anything.

    Back to the AI stuff. I am sorry if I am a little sceptical about your claims about the "next generation of AI" and how "soon" they will outperform humans when even after all these years, money and energy poured into them, they still manage to fuck up a simple division question. Good luck making any model that needs to be trained on data perfect at this point, because AI slop that has been already generated and released in to the internet has already took care of that. Maybe we will have AGI at some point, but I will believe that when I actually see it.

    Finally, I don't know about modern art being absurdly simplistic. How can you look at modern animation or music and call it absurdly simplistic. How can you look at thousands of game UI designs in Edd Coates' website and call them absurdly simplistic? All AI will ever create when it comes to art is some soulless amalgamation of what it has seen before, it will kill all creativity, originalty and personality from art, but businessman in suits will gladly let it take over human artists because it is cheaper then hiring human artists and designers.

  • I would argue it wasn't just the refrigeration, but also the suburbanization of living and the cost effectiveness of delivering the milk from the farm to the store, which (in theory) made milk cheaper. You would still need the milkmen if stores and supermarkets didn't exist. In an alternative world where we didn't invent commercial / household refrigerators, you could still buy milk from stores daily without the need of a milkmen, becaue ultra-pasteurization exists.

    I guess thats the problem with analogies and I don't think either of us will get anywhere by further arguing about this one specific example.

  • I think the fact that AI sucks ass at even the most basic math proves that the difference between discovery and creation is, indeed, not arbitrary.

    Unless you are the kind of person to use AI to do math, then yeah I can see how it can look that way.

  • The Perfect Response

    Jump

  • This may come as a shock to you, but nobody was working as a refrigerator. Refrigerators didn't replace the milk man, the stores did. Which was fine at first since those stores were supposed to buy the milk from the milkman and just make it more readily accessible. Then human greed took over, the stores or big name brands started to fuck over the milk man, and conspired with other big name stores to artificially increase the price of bread while blaming covid and inflation, and now some, although few people are trying to buy it back from the milk man if they can afford / access it.

    Those tools that did replace humans, did not steal human work and effort, in order to train themselves. Those tools did not try to replace human creativity with some soulless steaming pile of slop.

    You see, I believe open source, ethically trained AI models can exist and they can accomplish some amazing things, especially when it comes to making things accessible to people with disabilities for an example. But Edd Coates' is specifically talking about art, design and generative AI. So, maybe, don't come to a community called "Fuck AI", change the original argument and then expect people argue against you with a good will.

  • Ohh nooo. Poor her with all the stock options she got while working there from basically their startup days. Whatever this poor damsel will do with 20+ years of experience working in one of the biggest tech companies in the world.

    I might not have the platform to bring attention to this issue, but hey, at least I don't actively help them, do their work and then reap the benefits of all the evil they do anyways.

    Unlike her, my issues with Google does not end with the Israel issue. Google is evil regardless of this single issue.

  • She is still working there. Yeah, sure, maybe she is taking a risk now that her name is out there publicly criticizing, but this article is just for her to feel good about herself. "But look guys, I think Google sucks too, I am not bad like them. I just help them accomplish their goals and get paid for it 🙃"

  • Maybe try a distro that is known for compability with NVIDIA such as popOS or bazzite. I have used both for the last 4 years, and other then some specific games where anti-cheat or kernel level anti cheat is an issue (and honestly, fuck those games anyway because those developers spend extra effort to make sure their games dont run on Linux), the rest just works flawlessly.
