which is worse, the oligarchy (french monarchy) or the aftermath - robespierre / reign of terror etc?

I’d say france, after, even with the horrors of the transition is worth it.

we killed and forced our british royal oppressors once. so… perhaps… but it’s awfully hard to rebuild things once wrecked.

a human can literally not program a computer to be smarter than a human

I’d add that a computer vision system can’t integrate new information as quickly as a human, especially when limited to vision-only sensing - which Tesla is strangely obsessed with when the cost of these sensors is dropping and their utility has been proven by waymo’s excellent record.

All in all, I see no reason to attempt to replace humans when we have billions. This is doubly so for ‘artistic’ ai purposes - we have billions of people, let artists create the art.

show me an AI driven system that can clean my kitchen, or do my laundry. that’d be WORTH it.

haven’t used reddit once since Spez’s mod-melting-bullshit. don’t anticipate ever going back. bluesky + lemmy is more than enough distraction for me.

People get influenced all the time to change their opinions and attitudes

lol, where do you see this? I see the conservatives sticking to their stupidity through thick and thin. and even when the leopards eat their faces, they’re aghast that the leopards shouldn’t be eating THEIR faces.

‘did a lot of damage’ - no it didn’t. it upset people who were already upset about gays getting to live in society, get married and not have their heads bashed in by chuds every week.

Nah, get fucked with that. haters gonna hate. they aren’t going to wake up one day and turn to hate suddenly, because someone used a pronoun.

These fucks were assholes already.

the amount of people I’ve seen hating on the special pronouns and getting more right wing really made this a topic that doesn’t do what you think it does. I think it’s harmful.

those people are going to hate no matter what. pronouns aren’t driving them mad, they’re already nutbags.

any LLM worth two shits would make this comment too.

Otherwise, we’re going to fish the oceans until they’re dry and we will create hellish suffering for every life form involved until there’s nothing left to feel pain.

take comfort friend. our atmosphere will be unbreathable and we’ll cook in our own juices long, long, long before the oceans dry up. It’s becoming, every day, ever more unlikely that we’ll wake up to the obvious dilema and be able to save ourselves. And there are some who profit from continuing down the path of stupidity, and our society is following them.

so take comfort. your premise is 100% on target, but the timeline is probably a lot shorter.

they got theirs, fuck everyone who comes after. literally pulling the ladder up behind themselves

Which is why I assume it’s a given they won’t be used and we won’t have to worry about them coming into play

yeeeah, I do wonder about that. the world has seen what a few madmen can get away with for a decade here and there… doesn’t seem to be stabilizing.

China and India both have nuclear weapons and have small skirmishes (granted not as big as this) and we don’t discuss sanctioning both of them for it.

nor india and pakistan. that’s the conflict I worry about more.

USA. I have a ceramic egg holder for my fridge. it holds 18 flat.

is it going fast enough for the RAT to deploy?

I don’t see the problem: NASA was a state agency, SpaceX is private.

lives are literally at stake, grow the fuck up.

Elon Musk decided to wreck USAID. The death toll is ghoulish. This dickwad said “the fundamental weakness of western civilization is empathy”.

If we speak about SpaceX and Tesla, well, it don’t seems to do that bad after all.

haha tesla is cratering in the EU and that cybertruck sure is a winner. pfft

You are so detached from reality it’s disgusting. This discussion has been absolutely pointless.

the producer was a shitbag. that’s THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF THIS ARGUMENT. wake up and get better standards.

Cute, you don’t even know what the fuck you’re talking about.

It’s shit, from a shit vendor. GET BETTER STANDARDS

Kartoffel, kartoffel.

he wasn’t german. and it’s a specious comparison, when one comes from a maggoty hate infested shithole, the other from any normal farm.

a very famous Austrian

schwarzenegger is a famous austrian. your painter there was an infamous shitbag. know the difference!

lol love it when hitler fans out themselves

going to be the next president

apparently any moron can get the job with enough conservative fueled racism and hate

I used to do this with a french 5-franc coin back in the 80s. inspired of course by Real Genius.

Just pirate all of it.

how can you enjoy it though? like, don’t you get disgusted knowing you’re consuming the product of a transphobe? fuckin gross
