Great. So when are scientific journals going to retract all the articles about the luminiferous ether they published in the 19th Century.

That’s the thing. If AI can’t replace humans and take their jobs because it can’t be trusted to work properly in science and engineering, and it produces highly derivative crap in arts and literature, then there’s no socioeconomic context. Photoshop was a greater socioeconomic threat to painters and air brush artists than AI is to musicians and software engineers.

The problem is when people are up in arms about socioeconomic justice, nobody is warning the CEOs that they’re buying a pig in a poke, an ADE 651. This CEO is going to get people killed because he’s dismissing legitimate concerns as FUD from Luddites.

There seems to be two extreme camps surrounding AI right now. Those mounting a Butlerian Jihad against it and idiots like this CEO who think it can replace human oversight. Everybody has gone mad. It can be a useful supplemental tool and it doesn’t need to be destroyed but it can’t even replace a writer of children’s books much less radiologists. AI is and always will be a dumbass machine. It can never replace a human especially in the state that it’s in now.

Everyone here should remember the story of Damocles. One of the things I enjoy about being poor is that I have nothing for people to steal. I don’t worry about muggings, carjackings, home invasions, kidnapping. When you have money, a line starts to form to take it from you.

It’s not that obvious. If this causes cancer then boiling potpourri and possibly anything where you’re inhaling the fumes of a boiling liquid concoction, including food could cause cancer. It’s possible this could lead to chefs wearing ventilators if more discoveries are made.

I hear this comment in Moe Szyslak’s voice.

Why do not have in the first sentence?

Pretty much describes the US in 1781. The Founding Fathers were essentially trying to create a viable anarchy themselves but kept having to make compromises.

Every generation is like this at that age. The hallmark of my generation, GenX, was apathy. Not that I care. Whatever. Never mind.

I was given some kind of gas once for surgery and I found it hard to breathe. I told the nurses around me that I thought I was having a panic attack and the anesthesiologist chuckled, “It’s okay. I’m giving you something for that.” Then I was out.

I wish. If that were true, we wouldn’t have nasty-ass fire-safe cigarettes and they wouldn’t cost 15 bucks a pack. I could buy Macanudo cigars for a dollar. I could see Pornhub in Texas without having to sign up for an account. If they think it will protect the children, they’ll wipe Amazon clean off the map.

For now. But the US is planning to pass it’s own version of OSA.

How does the Fediverse do it better and would that appease the jury in a civil or criminal trial? Those are questions to consider. Perhaps it’s all good. I certainly hope so.

I don’t think that will save it. I’m barely profitable and cops still give me tickets. Times are changing. Governments are coming down hard on the Internet. OSA in the UK forced Urban Dead to shut down. I would have to think admins running instances are feeling a little nervous.

I mean the instances. If a kid here in Technology dies, whoever is running this place is on the hook now. And also lemmy.world. I’m still fuzzy about how the Fediverse works, but a scapegoat will be found. This is running on somebody’s computer.

But also any type of social media in general. We’re heading towards any place where people can talk to each other online will be illegal in order to protect the children.

Everyone here is cheering this on but the Fediverse is next. If a kid here offs themselves or gets trafficked, that’s all she wrote.

You’re preaching to the choir here. My point was that the anti-corporate crowd that believes companies are trying to murder their customers for profit are not normally so charitable to such a thing. It was a bizarre moment of clarity. A benefit of doubt extended to only Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson and no other corporations.

Meanwhile, the MAGA crowd that would jump off a cliff if Trump told them to, drew the line at vaccines for some reason.

It was and still is weird.

No one “seriously lectured you” on that.

Not on that but something similar. It’s called an analogy.

I suppose if you simply label all the people who interpret your comment a certain way as “bots”

It’s not just a label. It’s a logical conclusion. If I’m talking to my neighbor and I make a joke about how eating cookies will make them explode and they begin to seriously lecture me about how there is no evidence that cookies make people explode and accuse me of lying, I’m going to assume there is something mentally wrong with them. Any rational person would assume that. It’s like a Twilight Zone episode. On the Internet, if two or more people are exhibiting the same symptoms, they’re probably bots.

Fuck right the hell off with your trolling and your attempts to spread doubt.

Dang. I feel like I’m in an I Think You Should leave skit.

That was absolutely not the impression anyone would get from reading your initial comment.

They do. Most people are not as irrational and simple as you are.

Lol that’s not how that works.

Yes. It is. If you pretend to be a Nazi and spread Nazi propaganda, you are a Nazi. That’s what Mother Night is all about. But I actually got the vaccine because like most people, I didn’t want to get covid. It sounds unpleasant. And if you don’t want covid, get the vaccine.

You’re actively sowing confusion and doubt and attacking people for being pro-vaccine

You keep insisting this but it’s not true. No one except you and the bots are getting confused about this. Rational humans will never believe that vaccines will make them explode.

I mind the other part, the part where you’re discouraging people from getting vaccinated.

I’m not doing that. That’s all in your head, pal.
