Especially relevant in these trying timDISCONNECT: ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID

So the documentary is exactly like every other thing having to do with AI?

The true luxury is having both of those as options to choose from.

The fediverse is nice people and great tech, with a marketing problem.

Fun fact: This is just what Ron Desantis actually looks like.

Electric Mayhem

In fairness every kind of mass media has been doing that for a century plus. The difference with social media is that it is much more effective.

I’m really interested in seeing how this turns out. Multi-year federal grants in the US almost always have to be re-applied for every year, and are almost never guaranteed past 1 year (and are subject to budget cuts). So on the one hand, you could argue that a multi year budget could make projects prone to being too expensive or full of unnecessary stuff, but on the other hand, you have to wonder how much innovation and discovery we’ve lost by having our brightest minds spend so much time reapplying for grants every year.

He probably would have figured it out had he had time to evolve into Megahertz.

On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.

On the other hand, oh hell no.

Ah the old “owe $100 and the bank owns you; owe $100,000,000 and you own the bank” defense.

It’s what the internet was made for.

I know we’re all here for the LOLs, but just a quick reminder: it’s ok to enjoy things without being able to monetize them.

The Meta AI app is a Privacy Disaster.

It’s not dumb, it shows the brilliance of the ruling class in controlling the narrative. A lot of people will think this way and continue to support them even though it’s grossly misguided and definitely not in their own best interests.

So pleased whenever I run across a lemmy-specific comic or meme. Makes me feel like we really made it.

On two occasions I made a louder-than-necessary comment to my kids to stay away from those people (MAGA hats too) while they were within earshot and then listed reasons why. Got some dirty looks, but no one ever approached me. Because they're a bunch of feckless cowards.

Goddamnit. I was sad and still laughed.

Maybe it’s time for the return of curated lists. Back in the day (even before the web) there used to be people who organized lists of videos to rent, books to read, etc. why not bring it back in a lemmy channel or some other trusted service. Just curated lists of specific videos.

As stupid as this sounds I think we (and really the media, but we know which side they’re on) should be doing this in F for US audiences. Saying “hey, it’s now 5°F hotter than it was in the 1970s” is more immediately meaningful — and the bigger number looks scarier too.
