I read that dudes comment and thought the same thing. Pretty sure the Crusades got the good ole USA beat by hundreds of years in the realm of islamophobia.
But also yeah the islamophobia is the USA is obnoxious and loud. As a white dude, I hate and get annoyed by all of that bullshit and the fact that when I’m travelling down south everyone assumes I’m a racist white guy and says dumb shit to me.
What should they be in control of then? That’s the default market hegemony
Nothing. The default market hegemony is fucked.
Let me preface this with the caveat that I desperately want the ghouls to be lined up and shot. That’s not hyperbolic I truly believe they deserve it.
Having said that, I’m just thinking about American history in general. Plenty of people, including former presidents, who have done unconscionable things to others and were never punished or straight up celebrated.
The president that perpetrated the Trail of Tears, a big defining moment of our genocide against the Native Americans who were here before whitey showed up, is literally on our $20 bill. The dude that ignored the Supreme Court order and proceeded to round up tens of thousands of humans that died due to his actions is memorialized on our currency.
I want a currency redesign for our country that doesn’t celebrate any presidents at all, let’s put other cooler stuff on it than dead white guys. (Yes I know technically that’s not all our currency)
It’s not surprising Trump hung Jackson’s portrait up in the oval office. He really loves that asshole.
This is just one of the many times I’ve said something and really want to be wrong. Sadly, it seems that most of the time I want to be wrong I’m right even if my prediction is suckville.
I know you don’t. Just musing “out loud” for whoever is wasting their time reading these godforsaken comments.
I just hope your attitude and demeanor offline are better than what you put out on Lemmy otherwise you’re gonna make life harder for yourself than it needs to be.
I’d say I mostly come by it naturally but sometimes it’s the drugs which, I guess, means it’s also on purpose. So both.
I still can’t decide if you’re an AI bot, a collection of users in a Russian (or other country) troll farm, or just a teenage / early 20s edgelord who’s lost their way looking for 4chan.
Like, honestly, it’s almost impressive how good you are at rage baiting folks. So far i’m going with your username being an intentionally ironic joke.
Do you have any good takes or is your username meant to drip irony and that’s the point?
Damn everyone I’ve ever met that’s been in a union has said it’s way better than non union work.
Like to the point where they try their damndest to get another union gig if they need to get a new job. Although most of the folks I know in unions usually stay with the company for a long time or until they retire.
Of course they can be bad but anecdotally I’ve had way more people praise unions than say they’d rather not be in one. At least from the folks that have been in a unionized job.
Even after the administration is put in prison for their crimes (however long that may take – years, definitely, decades, possibly),
That’s a pretty optimistic take. You know nothing is gonna happen to these fucks. I do know I’m popping a bottle of champagne when Trump dies. I bet there will literally be spontaneous parties after he dies to celebrate it.
just recently started texting a woman that lives a thousand miles away in Texas. She’s beautiful just like my ex-wife is, except she wants to have kids.
Be careful you’re not getting catfished. You know, have a video chat at some point with this person. Don’t send them money. Just be safe out there.
Not to be a wet blanket about it, sounds like you’ve been through a lot and sometimes that can leave you vulnerable to people looking to take advantage. Keep your wits about you. You will find what you are looking for.
I’m pretty sure the fucking economist you’re replying to is not “teach(ing) something different from the mainstream” that’s the whole point of their post.
The whole point is the AI tools are hallucinating* completely incorrect answers and that students trying to use them as study aids and tools to learn with are going to have a lot of fake and wrong information to sort out and good luck to them knowing what is or isn’t incorrect or wrong when they’re just trying to learn a subject they know nothing about.
The only reason you or I or anyone else knows when AI hallucinates in its output is because we know stuff from our prior knowledge and can catch it that way. If you’re ignorant to a subject and trying to learn stuff you’re not going to know off hand the AI is lying to you if it sounds convincing enough for a layperson to accept.
*which I kind of hate that term because to the AI there’s no difference between truth and hallucination - it’s just output as far as the robot is concerned
The trick that AI pulls is just that it is really good at appearing competent
Yeah it’s almost like the AI is an unthinking machine trying to model what a person would answer to the question (prompt) provided to it.
I’m so goddamn tired of people (not you) acting like an LLM “knows” anything nevermind whether it’s right or wrong or could even tell you if it didn’t know the answer. It’s not like a person that can say, “I don’t have that knowledge so I know any answer is likely wrong” the machine is going to give you an answer every time. That answer will never be “idk” it’ll be whatever hallucination it’s confident enough is right based on the model and training.
I do think there are use cases for it and the technology is cool but the vision being sold and propping up our economy with a venture capitalist circle jerk is so far removed from reality.
society will drag on generations after any kind of societal collapse.
Reminds me of the Imperium in Warhammer 40k how a lot of the tech they use is barely understood or some of it is not understood at all. Like the adeptus mechanicus believe in the Omnissiah (me too) and a lot of what they do is purely ritualistic.
But lots of those rituals are just stuff like turning something on in the right order. Or other mundane things that have become an arcane ritual after thousands of years that need doing for a thing to work right but nobody remembers why it needs to be done or how the thing works. Just that these are things you must do to please the machine spirits and make whatever random thing work right.
Honestly there is enough complexity in enough tech nowadays that I’m sure almost all of us are doing something similar in many areas of our life. Like I would struggle to explain how the Internet works or even how my television actually creates an image on itself. Maybe a better example would be cars, a lot of people use them but don’t know anything about necessary maintenance or basic principles of how they work.
I was unsure what this comment is saying … Then I read what those compounds are and I was like … Oh yeah because of all the death. Perfect.
Are they actually running the jet engine generators 24x7x365? Fuck the data center expansion for AI sake but also we should be honest.

If you’d like to learn more.
I mean … it is wildly cruel it doesn’t just seem that way. I suppose yeah if you view it through some sociopathic cretin billionaires perspective it makes “sense” but it’s still super fucked.
Honestly anyone that is cool with that shit needs a swift visit to the guillotine.
Dude I just scrolled their history for funsies (I’m sure mine has plenty of dumb shit in it too so I’m not immune to idiocy…)
The guy who wants an auto block option for people who downvote their stuff is complaining about this being an “echo chamber.”. That. Is. Hilarious.
It may be grammatically correct in whatever dialect of English the author speaks. As an American I would say it reads weird to me too though.
I think the punchline would be better as, “That’s the most efficient way to cook it!”
