Man the ai hate is so strong on lemmy they can’t even admit when it’s good at something. Though I’m guessing a lot of these people’s experience with getting recipes from it is memes of bad hallucinations and not actually trying it looking at all the “glue on pizza” takes.
I’ll back you up though, have gotten a lot of good recipes from chatgpt, even for baking which doesn’t have a lot of room for error.
If only we had some sort of deal with Iran to monitor there nuclear program and make sure they can’t make a nuke in exchange for sanctions relief or something…
Am I the only one who doesn’t like the taco jab, strategically. I like making fun of trump as much as the next guy but we should be making fun of him for the bad shit he does, not when he’s backing out of that dumb shit. Like it or not were stuck with this guy for another 4 years and if we instill it in him that backing down is weak then he’s just gonna become more entrenched in whatever dumb thing he initially commits on.
I learned about it because Richard stallman gave a speech at my campus (pre-controversy) and half his speech was the gnu copy pasta unironically. Which I get, if i made core software that most of the world’s server runs on, I wouldn’t shut up about it either.
Nah, we already got el salvador for that. They’re gonna need to open up to all the Palestinians “voluntarily leaving” gaza after netanyahu and co make it uninhabitable.
To all the people in here saying “I could warn them and help them prepare to take on the conquistadores” while the sentiment is good, the conquistadores weren’t the ones that wiped them out, it was smallpox and other diseases. So unless you can synthesize a vaccine, or just expose them to it then so they can recover population in a couple centuries, they’re doomed no matter what.
A heads up is not gonna save them from their real killers, smallpox, unless you brought it with you and give them a couple centuries to recover population and gain immunity.
That’d be great if freedom of movement wasn’t one of the first rights they take away to prevent something like this.
How is this argument different than the “video games cause violence” argument?
It keeps you on there site. Same reason Twitter banned links and has grok now, the longer you stay on the site the more likely you are to look at or even click on an ad on that site. If you google something, then quickly scroll past the first couple ad links and click on the first non ad link you are maybe only staying on Google for 1 or 2 seconds. If you get an “ai overview” at the top and start reading through that then you’re maybe spending 10-30 seconds reading through that. That’s another 10 seconds that the ad was displayed that Google can go to there ad customers and say people were looking at it longer.
Another reason more motivated by user experience is also that the AI has a better “understanding” of meaning compared to typical search algorithms. Say you search “Starbucks price at closing” when you meant “Starbucks stock price at time of market closing” an AI would be more able to discern that meaning as opposed to a traditional algorithm which may show you the closing time of the nearest Starbucks, or the price of one of there drinks etc.
That may be true for small or mid size startups that are reliant on VC money, but we’re talking about Google and Microsoft here, they already have there money printers going and don’t need VC money.
They had just as much control with the old search algorithm, though. They could still pick and choose what you see on the search results with their opaque algorithm. The only difference would be that instead of only showing some regime captured media outlet they could generate there own narrative on the fly, but it’s not like there’s a shortage of sycophantic media written by actual people they could pull from.
So do you have to basically ai spam applications if you want a job now? Cause it seems like companies are using ai to filter out 99% of applications so there’s no use into putting manual effort to adjust resumes and write cover letters if a human isn’t going to read it.
Yeah, I’m staunchly for legalization of all “vices” but I’m not going to pretend that they’re harmless and aren’t valid reasons to want to get rid of them besides being a kill joy.
There were some in the first gulf war. People forget but iraq had the sixth largest airforce at the time and were able to shoot down a couple American planes before being overwhelmed and fleeing to Iran.
Yeah, it’s the top posts that were posted in the last six hours. Unless you have a pretty wide sub list it’s usually better if you do it for everything/all, eg. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/?dataType=Post&listingType=All&sort=TopSixHour . Otherwise top 12 hour or top day is usually good
Maybe he wants to court the left block because of the three part hung parliament they’re in right now so he can get more defense spending and Ukraine support passed since the u.s. is backing off Europe.
Maybe he’s trying to fill in the power vacuum in the middle east after the u.s. lost all its soft power supporting this war.
Maybe he’s tired of the houthis attacking shipping and hoping to get a French pass if they recognize palestine.
Maybe he’s just a good guy and is just disgusted by genocide.
Bit of a chicken and egg problem, most people aren’t buying stocks because they have no money, not because they don’t understand them. They have no money because the stock holders of the companies choose to put there profits into dividends and stock buybacks rather than increasing wages.
Class antagonism cannot be solved by just giving workers stock, because the worse off workers will just sell it due to economic pressure. Some may be able to hold it but they will have there interests ruptured with the stockless workers. So the capitalists will just raise the wages on those classes of workers with significant ownership , eg. The managers and professionals, and continue to ignore the rest, which is about where we’re at right now.
In order to have mass ownership of stocks there would have to be a mass social safety net so the people aren’t forced to sell there stocks to make ends meet. At that point then stocks stop becoming a source of security for the workers since they already feel secure from that safety net. Then they just become a voting mechanism for production that is still heavily skewed towards the rich. That would be better handled by the government or unions which have an equitable voting system.
Yeah the problem isn’t in our government structure, in this case, but in the republican cult of personality.
It sucks but the Republicans won a very narrow victory in the house senate and president. No matter what system you have, if it’s at all democratic that party makes all the decisions. The problem is there making the decision to standby and watch as a demented oaf flushes the country down the toilet
One point I’d like to add is that trans identity can become an existential threat to a lot of people, in the philosophical sense of existentialism vs essentialism. If you base your entire life, identity and values off a single idea, then questioning that idea brings into question your entire existence. If you think your a man because you have a penis and that your hetero because your attracted to Afab women then the idea that a women can have a penis brings into question both of those identities and all the decisions in your life you made off those identities.
If you aren’t secure in your sexual and gender identity these sort of questions can be very uncomfortable as doubt would lead to you doubting and regretting every decision you’ve made in your life leading to an existential crisis. So instead of facing this existential dread people will run from these questions and attack anything that may raise them to preserve their identity and ego.
