AI doesn’t exist. This is like asking an atheist why they hate god.

If you’re talking about LLMs and the like, they’re unpopular on Lemmy because tech people are over represented here and tech people understand how these technologies work and why all the hype isn’t just false, but malicious.

The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine (2020) Rashid Khalidi

IDK about best, but it’s the history that affected me. If you’re looking for something that covers the entire Israel/Palestine conflict, this is an excellent resource.

You know how you right click something and can choose “save” or “copy”? That used to be two hole jobs.

Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom!

Do you really believe that markets and competition creates better products and services? How do you square that with basic observations about how the world is? If success was linked to quality, then Subway would be the worlds best food; Clash of Clans the best video game; and Tesla the best car.

The markets of the world say that Nvidia is worth more than the Pharmaceutical Industry.

Isn’t this the reason Epstein and Trump broke up?

Every-time the owners try to pass off their revenue streams as a human right we need to remind them that “public squares” are publicly owned.

Nationalize Facebook!

IDK if it’s relevant to you, but eggs can be poached ahead of time for quick assembly into the final dish.

Just under cook them by a minute or so and store them in ice water. Then just drop them in water the same temp as you poach to warm them through. I once served eggs Benedict to 8 people with only 15min of prep time and they thought I was a wizard.

If we don’t make sacrifices to the Dragon, it’ll eat the village!

That’s what you sound like. AI doesn’t exist, but it’s going to take your job anyway. And it doesn’t matter if you support it or not. Your devotion and support will not be rewarded.

Your question doesn’t make sense. “freedom of speech” is a political right to prevent government censorship. Internet forums have moderation and that’s different from censorship because it’s a private space.

If someone came to your house and started insulting you and your family would you tolerate it in the name of freedom or would you tell the jerk to shut up and get out?

LOL, You mean the letters C and P can stand for lots of stuff. At first I thought you meant the term “child porn” was ambiguous.

OK Groog, that’s a pretty big deer, we may have to double click it.

Executions should be public and brutal. Not because of the right-wing fantasy of deterrence. Because the public should have to witness what’s being done in their name.

The purpose of “Humane” executions carried out behind closed doors is to ease the suffering of capital punishment supporters, not the victims of state violence.

PBS Space Time is routinely over my head and I love it.

It’s time we stopped pretending that Israel was a little pocket of Europe and recognize that it’s a brutal theocratic regime. The biggest difference between Israel and States like Saudi Arabia and Iran is the branding.

Fresh slop straight from the slop hole.

Everybody picks on Freud for his crazy ideas. But when you consider the lunacy that his methods overthrew, he doesn’t seem so crazy after all.

For example, before Freud many mental illnesses in women were diagnosed as “wandering womb”, where the uterus was supposed to have migrated to different places in the body to escape a stinky vagina. Where the uterus moved to, explained the particular malty. Treatment was incense and perfumes for the vagina as to lure the uterus back into place. This was a standard in Western medicine from the time of the ancient Greeks.

Psychotherapy doesn’t seem so weird now does it?

I hate graphic depictions of sexual violence. Moves like “A Clockwork Orange”, “The Accused”, and “Requiem for a Dream” all have scenes that I wish I didn’t remember.

Content warnings are information that allow media watchers to make informed decisions. People who are annoyed by them are just contrarian assholes with the teenage mentality that gore and cusswords are cool.

Seeing something objectionable in media is not a “growth through suffering”. It is also not censorship. Nobody ever became a Nazi simply by reading Mien Kampf. (It’s usually complaining about made up shit like cancel-culture that pushes the dim-whited into the far-right).

There should have been a content warning on this thread: graphic depictions of boomer philosophy.

This is a lie. America produces ~15B gallons of Alcohol from our precious corn every year. We just put it in our cars, that’s all.

I’ve dropped a couple of channels because I suspected the presenter was a choad. I once unsubed from a movie-review channel because the presenter made a joke about “games journalism”.

Another popular channel had (has) amazing content about historical guns. I first got a bad taste in my mouth because he covered some shit from Rhodesia. But I decided to give the benefit of the doubt. I know that collecting Nazi artifacts doesn’t imply politics. Then the channel decided to cover “anti-riot” “crowd control” type weapons during the George Floyd Summer protests. Nah, I’m out.
