Declawing cats causes them lifelong pain. It’s time to ban the practice
The simple fact that we still call it "declawing" is so infuriating... I've had to tell a lot of people around me that it actually is an amputation.

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections

Writing "the 50th vote" instead of "another vote" or even "a 50th vote" implies that specific vote is more important, like reaching a threshold. At least that's how I see it.

Randy Pitchford shares thoughts on the Stop Killing Games campaign, gets very existential: "It's so sobering to think about the fact that everything will end[...]and I kind of hate that"

Way I see it is it just stops being a live service game, and stays at the latest version, which is the one you can then host.

I hate the political compass. r/PCM did a lot in normalizing the far right and recruiting for them. And it's not even close to accurate (Hitler shows up as barely to the right ffs).

Sad News! AI's RAM Hunger Finds a New Victim in the Orange Pi Neo Linux Handheld
Reply in thread
I remember reading a few days ago that OpenAI basically ordered 3 times as much RAM as they could use this year. There are also data centers fully equipped but not turned on as the local power grid could not handle the added demand.

What @[email protected] was talking about was awareness, and you said no then proceeded to talk about something else entirely. It does raise awareness, as shown by the fact that we are talking about it.

National Defence uses US cloud services for 'mission critical' applications
Reply in thread
What does that change? It's still property of Microsoft, and they've stated quite recently that US law will override any notion of sovereignty or ownership. So the datacenters could be anywhere, the data is, for all intents and purposes, american.

No. Just no. That's fucking eugenics. No.

I see it more as a step towards banning a ton of content they don't like by claiming they are porn, or porn-adjacent (for example any LGBTQ+ content)

There's a big difference between pointing out their strategy and telling people not to react, and all I read here is the pointing out.

Eugenics is fascist. You are defending a fascist ideology. Take a step back to consider that please.
Also curious to know how you would decide who gets to reproduce.

Teen killed himself after ‘months of encouragement from ChatGPT’, lawsuit claims

That seems way more like an argument against LLMs in general, don't you think? If you cannot make it so it doesn't encourage you to suicide without ruining other uses, maybe it wasn't ready for general use?

So? Does that make eugenics a good thing? No it doesn't.

Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive”
Reply in thread
Hard disagree. From my experience you can perfectly collaborate from a distance, it's mostly a matter of organizing around it. Of course it can vary on the type of work, so I would think that the better answer is "it depends".
Yet in your comment you declare that it sucks and mostly does not work as a general rule? I just want to say that your own experience, while relevant, does not necessarily apply to everyone. Maybe it sucks for you, maybe it sucks for most people you work with or talked with about that subject. But one experience, or even a group of experiences, do not make for a universal truth.

Google Gemini struggles to write code, calls itself “a disgrace to my species”

You're giving way too much credit to LLMs. AIs don't "know" things, like "humans lie". They are basically like a very complex autocomplete backed by a huge amount of computing power. They cannot "lie" because they do not even understand what it is they are writing.

False equivalency. Also waiting on your criteria for a reproduction permit.
Again, eugenics is fascist.
Also, even with the best effort to restrict reproduction in a "good" way, the instant your administration changes, those restrictions will change too. Do you want the Trump admin to choose who can reproduce?
Education is the answer. Always has been, always will be.
