Protest can also be a form of art and memetic transmission. Don’t be so quick to dismiss others.

Sure, which is why installing it is largely a protest. I don’t think US tiktokkers are going to seriously learn pinyin so they can properly tag their post.

There’s already a mass exodus to RedNote, and I gotta say, I love that there are no ads.

Sure, I’m on board as long as the fix isn’t to cut other social safety nets.

I mean it depends on the context of how UBI is going to get paid for. If it is funded by a wealth tax then I am on board. But that’s not how the powerful proponents of UBI say it should be funded. Andrew Yang would have us take it out of Social Security to pay for it but you don’t hear him say we should uncap Social Security contributions.

Yeah, because LLMs have shown they understand language and aren’t bullshitting us. /s

Like I get this might generate new leads to explore, but to say it’s a virtual cell as if the model is somehow self-consistent is malpractice.

AI is maturing into what exactly?

How to alienate your daughter:

The revolutionary potential of a media platform is inverse to how mainstream it has become. Lemmy and mastadon don’t need to be big to be influential because the people who show up to those platforms are (relatively) engaged in their AFK communities.

The line and reasoning is borrowed from “Bimbo - a philosophical analysis” : https://youtu.be/FeRIE6JDhCQ , the line “I’m not dumb enough to rationalize my way through life” is a rebuttal of Nietzsche type attitudes.

I’m not dumb enough to rationalize my way through life, so just go with what you’re feeling. You don’t need to rationalize it for it to be valid.

I am so down to read that. Thx for the book rec

Zuck is fine with anticompetitive actions, he just thinks you need to InOvAtE to earn the right.

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.

He was on the lighter side, from mainland China.

I’m white and the only time cops have been a dick to me was when I was with my Asian friend. It’s happened more than once. But the one time I was speeding by myself the police let me off on a warning and were rather nice about it. It’s anecdotal so take it with a grain of salt.

Seems to me there is a big difference between attacking someone’s identity and claiming the earth is flat or marijuana is bad. The fact the mods don’t seem to address this is concerning.

Sorry but simply having our needs met is not enough. You are letting one class determine how everyone else works. People want self-determination and that should be extended to all people, not just billionaires.

I mean there has always been illegal speech, we just don’t usually call it censorship.

You would be hard pressed to spend your money better than Luigi in regards to reducing medical debt. Anthem got scared and walked back rationing anesthesia during surgeries.
