Exactly. As someone from Canada, I was kinda relieved when the Iran war started. It’s beginning meant that the probability of military action against Canada and Greenland would go down. Of course, I’m not “happy” that the war started and that civilians were murdered because of it… I’m just… relieved that the probability of us suffering the same fate went down.
So yeah… The more distracted that jackass is, the better it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
PBS spacetime. The concepts get me tired and sleepy
I’m so sorry for your loss.
It needs a relatively small amount of funding. Essentially a 100 gigawatt powerplant, strapped to a 1kmx1km array of lasers. Very lightweight probes (that could potentially be mass manufactured) propelled by these lasers.
If it comes to fruition, we could have probes that we can send to nearly our entire stellar neighborhood at significant fractions of the speed of light.
We could:
Literally SciFi stuff that we can achieve with little bit of development in material science. Again, the bottleneck is FUNDING, not technological. But come on, it’s so worth it!
What an ugly city
Wow, I love this seeming wave of boomer Facebook memes! Kinda fun ngl
Ew so easy, I’m really good at this game!

as how it is being implemented causing environmental, social, and economic harm.
Agreed, valid criticisms. Who however, is to blame? The science and the scientists behind it, the technology itself or the capitalists commercializing it?
A very valid set of criticism aimed at the wrong entities causes a lot of harm, does it not?
The tech itself is quite cool. IF implemented in a correct regulatory environment, it can do absolute wonders.
What should be the approach? Fighting for the correct regulatory environment or just shitting on the tech itself?
I pirate content. I don’t give a shit about “IP”, or the concept that surrounds it. Also, open sourced models are about 6 months behind the frontier ones. This has been the case at least for the last 2-3 years. Sooo sorry, don’t care about “ooooh they used the content I uploaded on a public site for training”.
Lemmy is basically just leftist Reddit in my experience. Otherwise, very very similar problems. The anti-technological development crowd is truly unlike any other though.
Star wars. I just have such a love/frustration relationship with it. This includes stuff produced by George Lucas btw.
I feel like it tries to appease all crowds. The family friendly crowd, the autistic nerdy crowd, the politics obsessed crowd and so on.
Andor for example is peak star wars, because it’s made specifically for one audience. No one’s taking their 6yo to watch this.
The problem is when a kids’ show has the prerequisite plot for a show with a totally different audience.
Take the clone wars for example. It started as nothing more than a kids’ show. Then, it ended dark. Same with rebels. Look at episode 3. Amazing amazing plot with the transformation of the Republic into the empire. And then you have jar jar binks.
Let’s not even begin to talk about Disney.
Star wars just has so much potential due to its huge world and the Jedi/sith stuff. But it’s just so frustrating to see how such art can be wounded by the will to earn money.
I know this isn’t “the most unforgivable sin” or whatever, but I suppose it’s definitely up there. It’s the sin of painting an angry face emoji on top of a beautiful and detailed painting of an unimaginabley cruel monster, just so that more toys can be sold.
Which one in your opinion is the best general purpose screw? Basically something that should be the default?
Yes, I agree. That’s what I said.
I said that the presence of markets does not make a system capitalist.
≠ means “not equal to”.
On a serious note. DO NOT iron clothes while they have cum on them. The smell is… not good.
Thank you.
“Oooh they used AI, fuck them” is mostly a stance taken by people who weren’t ever going to engage with the papers as is. The only reason these people are concerned about this is because “oooo AI bad bad bad”.
I swear, there’s no difference between these folks and the “all natural, herbal” hippies. Total lack of scientific temperament, total lack of nuance. No intention of getting to the truth. Just screaming what their perceived “ideological team” has to say about this. Just like the Bible thumpers they claim to despise.
Yes. As long as scarcity exists for a given commodity/service, markets are the best way to get an accurate assessment of concerned opportunity costs.
Needless to say, the presence of markets ≠ capitalism.
Hence, yes, I do believe that that UBI is the obvious way to go forward as humans move towards labor post scarcity.
Nice! Eh something similar I suppose. “Life”. Exploring dating though! I feel like I’ve met that “someone”. Let’s see how it goes haha
Hello, cat pfp that looks like a dick at first glance! How’ve you been?
Who cares what people downvote lmao.
You’re right, no one is allowed to be happy even for a fkin second. /s
