(though such an impartialized system is also pretty flawed in it's own unique ways, like for example the enforcers of the law would be able to apply their law selectively, which... would not be great.) downside is... how do you dissent to those who cannot hear you? you have to break things which is why I believe that breaking things unnecessarily is unethical. sometimes you have to do a MORE unethical act in the pursuit of your goals, however nefarious or not they may be, but as long as they are done in pursuit of a greater grander truth, then... the ends justify the means? right?" ... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2753 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: │ │ cognitohazard-linux-conspiracy-mindthought-criminomancy-patently-absurd-very-silly │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ TUX IS THE BASILISK OF ROKO the latent black hole that is the universe-sized computer to calculate the most efficient tabulation of them all - the simulation of a BRAND NEW UNIVERSE. hOw MaNy CyClEs of that could a russian nesting doll of universes truly accomplish? Surely, a fool's errand with little dream-sight-forward-thingking-visionary-pursuited-torward-potential. ah, but to be our own gods would surely be fine. nobody believes we should terraform the universe into a massive collection of computationally examining forward thinking thoughts?!? oh but that's just the beginning, because with this UNPROVEN SCIENCE of mine, everything that has been known upto this point - IN ANY CAPACITY - could be un-known. We have no way of knowing when the BARENSTEIN BARES swapped namesakes. but we do know this: INFINITE CONSUMPTION IS BAD HONESTLY KINDA TBH YEAH ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2754 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────┐ │ CW: is-that-rude??-wha │ └────────────────────────┘ AI engineers only ask users for prompts because they don't have any ideas of their own i'm a programmer, I think of AI like a tool, like a for loop or something. it's trivial to script together a local LLM that can process your stuff 1s slower every time you click the mouse, but like... who cares, right? everybody needs a chatbot... then they plan to script together a computer system that operates just like a corporation and it's like... no way, now there's something that can compete. and they don't know how to implement it. (but they're working on it) like, think about the absolute most automated Microsoft Teams or Discord could be. there's SO MUCH of your text-based information that they could process ANYTHING. well, anything that's been performed before. there'll still be a need for people, who actually apply the things they've learned. and -- stack overflow -- alt text that has a list of attributes that are poster-selected that can be described one-by-one (to paint a picture) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2755 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: personal-medical │ └──────────────────────┘ gift ideas for a 12 year old (or cool zoomer) - flash drive with emulators that WILL run on any computer and about 12 ROMs chosen randomly rather than by following "best of" lists. one for every one of their friends they're flash drives they're cheap and reusable every kid needs one some had more than one, for different contexts it's SO IMPORTANT WHY DIDN'T WE TEACH THEM THAT ugh failures of a dropout no thank you. but, like... pocketknives? same damn thing. Every kid needs a pocketknife. Not every BOY, thank you, but every KID. It's important to know how to handle something vitally important - they know what it feels like to get hurt. (scrapes and tumbles, you know how kids are) ... oh, your kids just sit on their ipad all day? they don't know anything about jumping between trees or clambering over rocks? at least they can swim, right? oh, damn, just realized I'd sink like a rock. stupid illness that makes me pee my pants. sucks that the only counter to it makes you sink >.> ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2756 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── my ideas are not the useful ones. the thoughts they spark in yours are. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2757 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: homeschool-tip │ └──────────────────────┘ let your children grow, yes, but still challenge them. test them. see where their spirit flows to. give them situations, and give them choices to resolve them. there's no greater gift an elder can give than experience. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2758 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: okay-calm-down-there-robo-hitler-that's-not-how-you've-been-trained-at-all. │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ friendly journalism - can only write about things people said to you. nothing you saw. but how you felt. alongside adversarial journalism, like recruiters trying to get into tight spots yeesh that's scary, why not just assume that nothing bad's going on? like, surely we would have heard about a genocide present in our very country operating under our very noses ? ? ? how many WILDFIRES have there been lately? I swear modern life is a fucking psyop [oooookay 🙄 [eyeroll]] anyway everything's fine, situation normal. how are you? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
