  • oh thanks, this is great.

    yes now that it is pointed out, very eugenics-y to go around saying "ah yes there is one true supreme bacteria, we should culture this bacteria on the human petri dish aka vagina"

  • Duolingo is dying celebratory thread

    Jump

  • I started using duolingo for japanese in maybe 2022 and quit in maybe 2024. I did 4 years of Japanese in high school and so I had a vague memory of grammar and some vocab. Duo didn’t really improve my situation; I think all i got out of duolingo was frustration.

    Also, I can’t speak to other examples of it, but the gamification was ass. Games are usually trying to be fun.

  • ok ngl I didn't actually read the article at first (can you blame me) but since you pointed that out, FUCK. That's so fucking pathetic. I was imagining a scenario where scott had met epstein IRL but had gotten "jock" vibes from him and decided not to associate based on that.

  • I’ve been seeing some people (not here, I’ve been taking a break) saying that we shouldn’t be mean to clankers by bringing up Kant’s position on being nice to animals. Well. Fuck all that.

  • LessWronger wants AI safety to focus more on "controversial beliefs"

    Jump

  • ah, yes, we must defend "race science", the heretical political belief that gets millions from techbros that are empowered politically right now due to the rise in fascism. So brave, it's almost like we're on the internet 15 years ago talking about Ron Paul /s
