Idk, part of being in a relationship with an adult is acknowledging their autonomy. Where is the line between having an active college social life and a drug or alcohol problem? Sometimes that's clear cut sometimes not. If it starts affecting their academic life you can voice your concerns but if you're not ok with how they respond including ignoring you, you have to choose between not bringing it up again or leaving.

Maybe you also aren't seeing the issue objectively either maybe the AI usage is being done responsibly and your GF is actually getting a real understanding of the material. I'm not saying I know everything, but might be worth considering if this is you externalizing your fears and concerns and this is maybe a legitimate difference in how both of you choose to engage with this technology.

Unpopular opinion, but I think the degree to which AI doomerism plays out feels like Internet purity culture.

Eating meat or non-fair trade coffee and chocolate is unethical, driving a car, buying electronics with slave labor mined rare earth metals all do active harm to the world.

I feel like moderate AI use to save time isn't a huge deal. Text generation is fairly cheap and not that harmful at small scale, if you're running a swarm trying to solve millennium prizes that's a much heavier lift.

There is danger in missing out on learning and developing core instincts and judgement when you outsource some of that to AI, but asking it to find something in a disorganized readme or something like that isn't a huge deal.

On a good day, number 3/4 on the back and sides depending on the season and trim the top. On a bad day, one pass straight across the carotid, Sweeney Todd style.

I already know the answer, but why are what I presume are gate agents employed by a private corporation allowed to detain a citizen who is not a physical threat to anyone over a contract dispute?

Refund his ticket and don't let him on the plane if you're that concerned, or otherwise handle it in civil court after the fact. Using physical force to detain him over a contract dispute should be illegal.

Many believe Harris lost in 2024 because voters viewed her as too progressive

What are they talking about

Funniest part was Russia denouncing unprovoked US actions.

The housing market is fucked, economic mobility is fucked, the climate is fucked. They've already lost to the man, what else do they have to lose?

This is why humanities degrees are important. We're putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.

They wouldn't have penny auctions. They would be virtual so they couldn't be bullied into not bidding and the bidders would be global so they wouldn't give a shit about the person whose land it was.

This is awesome, and done by some really talented kids who are clearly smart motivated and willing to put in the work to get this project out the door.

Now imagine if the resources to do this kind of work as well as the background education and things like food security and economic stability were given to kids outside of an exclusive private boarding school? We'd empower some of the most imaginative of us to accomplish so many more amazing things.

A government using war to revoke civil liberties and oppress their citizens? Color me surprised.

Calling 4chan the most hateful site on the Internet ignores the fact that xitter is a thing.

The kind of hateful rhetoric and grooming are not unique to 4chan, they happen on Facebook, discord, and roblox. 4chan has just been a minimally filtered representation of underground online cultures for decades now meaning it's still just as much a font of creativity as it is a cesspool of internet refuse.

I imagine any time a given server's quality drops, people will just move to another one. I had login issues for a few days on lemmy.world and started using lemmy.ml.

I think its a good thing, healthy for the ecosystem that there's not only redundancy where one site having a moment doesn't kill everyone's ability to use lemmy, and also provides a clear incentive for individual servers to provide good service.

With AI deep fakes being used for ransoms, this actually isn't a terrible idea.

If you are comfortable with your understanding of the situation and arguing for whichever side you choose to support instead of just refusing to hear anything to the contrary then support whoever you want.

Just know this isn't like a sports team where there's only superficial differences. It's also ok to say I'm not informed enough to take one side or the other, or maybe only lean one way. You can point to unethical behavior on both sides, but I think it's not unreasonable for people to hold one side more at blame than the other. Look into the history of the region and the ongoing discussion.

This is literally what the UN secretary general was referring to when he said the Hamas attacks didn't happen in a vacuum. I don't think the attacks were justified or even effective but it wasn't some random act, the growth of Hamas comes from Israeli government backed oppression of Palestinians which itself comes after failed peace talks so on and so forth until the birth of civilization (though you could argue until the late 1940s).

Know how you prevent that? Run actual progressives with progressive pedigrees.

Oh my god, a streamer shouldn't advertise a mediocre game to get compensation for their work? Has anyone told the Raid Shadow Legends steamers?

The nice things about steam is you can get as much water as could want on earth, but something like ammonia which we used as a refrigerant for years would probably work well too and there's planets with ammonia rich atmospheres.

The interesting thing is the cycles are fairly similar at a high level, you just run out in one direction for power and the opposite direction for cooling.

If he's really a narcissist they're not crocodile tears, he legitimately feels bad. That he is facing consequences.
