It’s great how, they might have list the contest, but it’s undisputably the most “successful” piece of art that came out of it

I don’t know what the contest was for, but the piece itself really struck a major cord with its target audience

Can confirm

…hiiiiiiiii

Put a collar and leash on themselves and do kink stuff

Yeah, It’d be ideal for FOSS AR to exist, and I would really love for that kind to be established

AR pretty much will happen, in my opinion as someone who roughly works in the field. It’s probably going to be the next smartphone level revolution within two decades

I’m not commenting on whether it would be good or bad for society, especially with our current societal situations and capitalism and stuff, but I’m confident it will happen, either way, and change the word drastically again

I mean, in the end, I think it’s literally an unsolvable problem of intelligence. It’s not like humans don’t “hallucinate” ourselves. Fundamentally your information processing is only as good as the information you get in, and if the information is wrong, you’re going to be wrong. Or even just mistakes. We make mistakes constantly, and we’re the most intelligent beings we know of in the universe.

The question is what issue exactly we’re attempting to solve regarding AI. It’s probably more useful to reframe it as “The AI not lying/giving false information when it should know better/has enough information to know the truth”. Though, even that is a higher bar than we humans set for ourselves

Ooh, nice, thanks!

Yes exactly, so when they call it a “total heart replacement” I’d like to have clarification on it, so that I know how excited I should get

It’s frustrating when articles on new innovations don’t go into details about them at all except just “it exists” pretty much

It would be nice if the article said if the artificial heart includes functions such as pumping harder in response to exercise and such, because it isn’t entirely clear if it does

Maybe it’s implied, but I feel it should be explicitly mentioned

Pretty much all of us who were yelling about the dangers of the path we’re heading got Cassandra’d

I’ve yelled about the rise of fascism for years and years. All I got were responses like “you’re overreacting”, “it’s going to be fine”, “stop being alarmist”

It’s always funny to me when people call Linux complicated and in the next sentence say shit like that

As if doing registry edits and group policy stuff is acceptable for basic features and settings

Limitus test between those who know and those who don’t know

I enjoy sharing these between friends though, it’s good

There are more modern standards now with better lossy compression :3

I don’t think I’ve seen much of them in extreme conditions like this though, but it would be interesting to see for fun

Reddit let trumps subreddit stay up for years, not to mention all the other vile and bigoted places

I do not put much faith in that reddit actually cares about homophobia

And calls for violence has always been selective. Has reddit ever banned anyone for supporting a state to kill people? For example, supporting death penalty, supporting cops shooting people, supporting Ukraine/Russia to kill Russians/Ukrainians, or supporting Israel killing Palestinians?

The whole subject of “calls for violence” has always been biased, because we see state actors being violent as justifiable, but non-state actors as not, so it’s not right to say they don’t support calls for violence, they only don’t support selective ones that they are not entirely clear about. They don’t support the people

Densely populated isn’t a problem for everyone (I like dense), and the pollution isn’t as bad as it used to be, right?

The authoritarian part is a major major issue of course, but my layperson perceptions of the material conditions of China is that it’s not nearly as bad as it used to be, and is getting better

And another upside, good public transit

I don’t even understand what people buy so often. I can easily go a month without buying a new physical item that’s not like, food

I seeee, it did cross my mind it being a joke, but I also thought you might have been mocking it lol

Why? New slang has always been forming, it’s literally how language evolves

Oh I fully get you, and it is a problem, but at least enough of the people I know consider discord’s behaviour problematic already that it would be possible to get things rolling with migrating smaller communities and friends

The big communities though? Yeah no. There’s a reason Facebook is still used, it’s used a lot for organizing things
