Also, Gangnam style. 13 years ago.

Children, which to me is everyone born in the 2005+ are already turning 20. Hell, the iPhone can already vote.

Steve Jobs also famously only made one dollar a year. Because normal income is taxed much more than giving yourself stock and calling it unrealized gains. You cannot be a billionaire without being a parasite.

That would be nice but as the “proud owner of medical issues” it’s much more often: “You have this, we don’t know why you have it, this is how we can manage it”.

You still want your doctor to be knowledgeable of course, but you also want them to use the best tools at their disposal. Most of them probably couldn’t tell you how an mri machine works exactly either.

You don’t always have to know how it works to rely on it. Most people could not tell you how a computer works but they are able to do better work.

We can verify that it’s better in some tasks than people. E.g give doctors and the AI 1000 MRI scans of potential cancer patients and it can determine it more accurate than doctors. So there they already are a help.

It’s already used in advancing different fields, for example reading texts of ancient burned scrolls without opening the scroll since that would break them.

But also medicine creation etc.

And with learning, yeah like books, they help you to learn faster but are not a requirement. Same here I can learn much faster now. But I will verify what it tells me.

— But I’m not sure if all of that outweighs the shit. 💩 The genie is already out of the bottle, no putting it back.

I think AI so far is detrimental to society.

• It made it too easy to flood the world with bullshit.

• Also it will make tracking peoples behaviors much easier while keeping plausible deniability on levels that past horrible regimes could only dream about.

• It will be used to make replacing workers more easy.

• It is being used to deny more healthcare (eg Luigie’s case)

Pro’s

• Can be used for good (eg in the medical field) by finding issues sooner and making better cures

• Using AI to actually learn though is a great tool.

• Other scientific advancements

All in all I think it with social media is one of the biggest reasons the US is in the state it is.

The training corpus of these large models seem to be “the internet YOLO”. Where it’s fine for them to download every book and paper under the sun, but if a normal person does it.

Believe it or not:

The Google Graveyard will be littered with the bodies of people now. Fuck them, move to something better for the world.

Birds had it right all along with one waste exit.

I don’t know man, if you play Stairway to Heaven backwards it says “Here’s to my sweet Satan” at various points.

This all stems from claims made by Televangelist Paul Crouch in 1982. Crouch claimed on his TBN show that when you play Led Zeppelin’s classic ‘Stairway to Heaven’ backwards, the “bustle in your hedgerow” line of the tune actually says: “Here’s to my sweet Satan/The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan/He will give those with him 666/There was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan”.

Those companies always gravel, in China Taiwan is probably called “China’s island resort 🏝️”

Do you make your back tingle?

Mitosis in every single one of them.

Use lottiefiles or something similar. That seems the defacto standard for vector animations on mobile and the web.

Infinite options does not mean all options. Eg in the set natural numbers 0-infinity the set of infinite numbers between 0-1 (or between any other 2 adjacent numbers) is absent.

So you can definitely have an infinite multiverse where in all of them infinite multiverses exist.

On Reddit I haven’t read a true story since the 💩🔪 story.

Yeah early Netflix was great, now it’s too fragmented. Like a Tidal or Spotify would be useless if they would be fragmented on the same level.

I saw a link on Lemmy to a “GoG” clone on which you can download all games for free.

Like of all the places not to pirate I would assume the company that enforces no DRM, direct downloads that you can save indefinitely and that makes older games work on newer hardware, would be on the top of that list.

Since those are such common complaints on why to pirate.

Next to that they have deals often where the prices are already really low.

Competing with free is near impossible.
