TBH the same could be said for some areas of Boston....

SCOTUS overturned roe vs Wade, which normally doesn't happen in the American legal system (contradicting previos precedent and jurisprudence sort of opens a Pandora's box of "well does this system even work if you can do that").

Donald Trump was just convicted on all 34 counts in his NY court case and his followers are calling for the judges execution.

The ugly truth behind ChatGPT: AI is guzzling resources at planet-eating rates (www.theguardian.com)

Despite its name, the infrastructure used by the “cloud” accounts for more global greenhouse emissions than commercial flights. In 2018, for instance, the 5bn YouTube hits for the viral song Despacito used the same amount of energy it would take to heat 40,000 US homes annually....

Love how we went from "AI needs to be controlled so it doesn't turn everything into paperclips" to "QUICK, WE NEED TO TURN THE PLANET INTO PAPERCLIPS TO GET THIS AI TO WORK!!"

Rooskie91 ,

Finding new and exciting ways to make cars more dangerous. What an inovator.

Rooskie91 ,

Lol leftists work with liberals instead of refusing to cooperate allowing fascism to rise challenge (impossible).

Rooskie91 ,

Oops looks like someone read their theory but not their history.

Rooskie91 ,

There's a theory that part of the problem is that social media aggregates too many different people in one place. Our brains naturally create in groups and out groups, making conflict and toxicity inevitable.

I'm making a prediction right now that real self driving will eventually rely on people from impoverished countries remotely operating the cars of wealthier countries. Sort of like how AI training data is combed through.

Rooskie91 ,

JUST PUT A FUCKING TRAIN ON IT WTF ARE WE DOING

Rooskie91 ,

Can't choke fascists if you're in bed depressed.

Rooskie91 ,

Streets Ahead!

Northrop Grumman has entered the chat.

Even if the dude that "killed himself" did do it to himself, he did so because he was harassed by a company for doing his job. Even in the non conspiracy version of the story, the corporation still acted in bad faith and should be held liable for it's actions. Why is this the hill you want to die on?

Rooskie91 ,

Strengthen governments? Corporations have been specifically sowing distrust in government so that they can convince voters to weaken regulations and vote against their own interests. How are corporations strengthening governments when they benefit from weak government?

It's an abnormaly written allegory for loneliness. Theres a lot going on in the book, but the terror starts when a journalist discovers that his new house is a fraction of an inch bigger on the inside than the outside. After that door leading to a pitch black room just shows up in their house.

It's a great book. Gave me nightmares.

Rooskie91 ,

It's a reference to a horror book that starts with a protagonist discovering his house is slightly bigger on the inside. Spooky hijinks ensue, and somewhere along the way you loose your mind reading that book.

10/10 would recommend.

Rooskie91 ,

You can just say you're going to be honest with your kids...

Rooskie91 ,

How heavy would a brain made out of bone even be? That must kill your neck.

Rooskie91 ,

Hey! Guess how they remove all of the content they DON'T want to train AI's on?

A disturbing portion of the internet's scams are held up by schemes like this.

Rooskie91 ,

The important part is you're doing the work, and I want to recognize your effort and thank you for it.

I'm on my own journey and I always have to remind myself that even though the work is hard, it is necessary to end the cycle of harm. Continuing the cycle is infinitely worse than the hard work. The more people that end the cycle, the better the world will become.

Rooskie91 ,

This is the origin story that the Terminator series needs.

Rooskie91 ,

Just wait until she sees it imbiggened.

Rooskie91 ,

I remember seeing this gif on YTMND for the first time. Truly one of the most durable memes.

Rooskie91 ,

I don't donate because of Kroger wanted to fix hunger they'd just fucking do it. Why does one of the largest corporations on earth need help from my broke ass to feed people?

Rooskie91 ,

As if either employee is the problem. Blame the fucking aristocrats shorting both of their paychecks

Rooskie91 ,

There's is

Rooskie91 ,

Much preferable to going on a date with a judgemental asshole.

Rooskie91 ,

That's nuts.

Rooskie91 ,

Les Claypool would like a word.

Rooskie91 ,

This is my opinion, but I think protest is worthless unless the people protesting show that they are willing to give up somethingsomething important to get what they want. I don't think we'll make progress until people are willing to give up the status quo for a better future. The mind hates uncertainty, so even shitty future that's predictable is more desirable than a possible better, but uncertain future.

The middle class came into existence because people that would never be a part of it were willing to give their lives for it. Many did. If we are not willing to sacrifice our safety and secure future for a better life we may never experience, we will make no progress.

Rooskie91 ,

There's also a psychological phenomenon that occurs in 'elite classes' where they think that someone getting more means they get less. They literally cannot fathom someone getting welfare without it affecting them negatively. It's one of the reasons why poor people still support Republicans.

Rooskie91 ,

Excuse me sir this is the internet. Please take your logic somewhere else. /s

Rooskie91 ,

AI translated? Are we just calling everything AI now?

Rooskie91 ,

Crazy how Americans see good urban planning and then make fun of it because it's never been done in their country.

Rooskie91 ,

Showing compassion to strangers and not assuming ill will? Sir the Internet is going to have to ask you to leave. /S

Rooskie91 ,

Gotta get ready to turn a profit off of World War 3!

Rooskie91 ,

American's vote for the government and fund it with their taxes. To believe it's a system with any other purpose than to serve it's citizens is assenine.

Rooskie91 ,

Would watch the shit out of this Pixar movie.

Rooskie91 ,

Honestly, good. The Internet was better when people were spread out across many small message board and chat rooms. The golden age of the Internet was when you'd do a search for something and 500 different forms and little websites would pop up.

Now's it's all reddit, "X," and shitty corporate owned nonsense. We turned 2020 Internet into 90's cable TV.

Rooskie91 ,

That's not lemmy, that's all social media (albite divisive topics are a bit different among different communities).

This is a hot take, but I think humanity is slowly turning it's back on social media because of it's toxic nature. You can only open a browser and get your nuts kicked so many times before you finally decide you don't like getting your nuts kicked.
