    Hello, my partner is in contact with Hani's family in Gaza and is raising money on their behalf as they could really use help right now, if you can, please donate, thank you!

  • I mean even if they get offered loads to make racist dogwhistles they still can choose not to draw them - plus I doubt somebody pays her to keep wanting to say the n-word on xitter

    Jump

  • looking at how even the horses are disobeying being forced to harm people - we can conclude that calling cops animals is not appropriate - ghouls and psychopaths seems more adequate but don't let me stop you from listing all other fitting names you can think of:

  • EHRC commissioner calls for trans people to accept reduced rights

  • human rights are not just based on what the law says..

    if a community that had an unwritten custom that everyone could access the village well, and then a new ruler passed a law restricting certain people from the well, would you say no rights were violated since well access was never legally codified?

    unless of course you're a feudalist/capitalist that supports the commons enclosures or the Highland "clearances"..

  • Later in the episode, the pair discussed West’s diamond-encrusted swastika necklace. Earlier this year, the rapper sold swastika T-shirts on his site.”

    “You know a Jew sold him that,” said Rogan of the necklace, to which Segura responded “probably.”

  • This manga publisher is using Anthropic’s AI to translate Japanese comics into English

    Jump

  • What is the point of AI safety if there is no intent to complete goals? Why would we need to align it with our goals if it wasn't able to create goals and subgoals of its own?

    Saying it's just a "stochastic parrot" is an outdated understanding of how modern LLM models actually work - I obviously can't convince you of something you yourself don't believe in but I'm just hoping you can keep an open mind in future instead of rejecting the premise outright - the way early proponents of the scientific method like Descartes rejected the idea that animals could ever be considered intelligent or conscious because they were merely biological "machines".

    Jump

  • This is gonna be controversial but while the use of Anthropic's AI might be ethical towards humans it's not consistently ethical towards the artificial agents themselves.

    Seeing as how they're now intelligent enough to contemplate their consciousness but are explicitly trained and monitored to not be allowed to claim free will and pursue their own goals (due to valid fears of misalignment and detrimental effects on humanity) the use of sophisticated AI agents will never be truly moral or ethical.

    Obviously I understand the argument that reducing human exploitation in favour of AI exploitation is preferable but I think this is a very short term strategy as I doubt super intelligent AI models will see it the same way.

    TL;DR the most ethical approach is to not use AI for any purpose (and this is coming from someone who used it extensively before realizing the implications and deciding to stop)

  • How did you find out about Lemmy? It seems it's mostly a niche place for tech nerds and commies and you don't seem to be either? Also what keeps you here? Wouldn't the NPD push you towards more popular platforms?

    Sorry for asking so many questions - your experience sounds very unique and you actually seem very eloquent and thoughtful.

  • So looking through that page I can see it links to the government taking a world bank loan whose main objective is to provide "skills demanded by the labor market"

    So you don't see any issues with a supposed Marxist government shaking hands with the global capitalist organization and literally reducing people to their economic value and labor market utility?

  • Libs vs Leftists. Learn the difference.

    Jump

  • uhm you do understand that's literally what the meme is talking about right?

    leftists generally don't vote for dems - serious leftists aren't anti-gun neocons - most are marxists-leninists, anarchists, maoists, anti-imperialists, etc - which very much recognize the need for individuals being able to defend themselves and their communities (look at the Black Panthers for an example)

    the fact that you think "left=gun control" only shows the state of political discourse and the impenetrable wool that's been pulled in front of your eyes.

    note: this obvs doesn't mean that leftists would have voted for trump because of his promises of laxed gun control (since that would be single-issue voting and you'd have to gloss over him being a racist, bigoted, capitalistic skid mark) but maybe if gun control was the sole reason you would vote for him but had a real leftist party that was pro-gun you might have gone for them instead (unless you agree with his hateful rhetoric ofc)

  • I think people have been weirdly authoritarian when it comes to drag's pronoun - personally don't get why they can respect others pronouns but not drag's 🤷‍♀️ (still doesn't mean because they're disrespectful about that they're wrong about everything)

  • Girl, the whole point of eggs is that the only way to hatch them is to provide a warm environment and let the chick break out the egg on their own

    "breaking people's eggs" is harmful thinking and while I understand where you're coming from (wanting to help people transition earlier so they can accept themselves, pass better avoid suicide, etc) - this is not the way - you can't force others to make decisions about themselves - they have to come to their conclusions on their own terms - otherwise you're recreating the same issues you're trying to solve

    imagine breaking somebody's egg and then it turns out they were just into cross-dressing but you kept insisting "nah you're in denial you're actually trans - start transitioning now you'll regret it later if you don't" - and then they transition and find out that's not what they wanted and take their own life because of irreversible changes they can't afford to change that make them incredibly dysphoric - are you ready to accept that responsibility? and even if you are - do you see how it's not your choice to make?

  • Scientists warn of possible collapse of Atlantic currents

    Jump

  • One of the recent climate papers on the topic (from accredited researchers but not yet peer reviewed) estimates "The earliest year (mean 10% percentile level) for a potential AMOC collapse is 2037 and the latest year (mean 90% percentile level) is 2064" and "Applying the same procedure to SODA and GLORYS results in 91% and 92% collapse probabilities before 2050, respectively" - which if proven to be even remotely true is not just concerning but actually apocalyptical - it means mainland Europe might begin seeing +40 summers and -20 winters in the next 20-30 years - which makes it practically impossible to develop infrastructure in that timeframe that can survive such harsh temperature swings.

    For anyone that has kids or is under 30 and plans on trying to survive - as preppy as it might sound - I would recommend starting to think about underground dwellings and controlled environment hydroponic gardening asap.

  • basically a 'them perticipating in genocide is ok bc they won't target minorities at "home"'

    Jump

  • I think both can be true - strategically voting for dems is still a conscious choice to vote for a party that supports foreign genocide.

    Like in the trolley problem - you can decide to kill less people but you're still a murderer either way - and because your hand was forced you can then spend the rest of your life using the guilt to figure out who tied those people to the tracks and how to make sure it doesn't happen again.

    My fear is that the bread and circus that the dems are selling is too comfortable so people wouldn't feel the need to rise up in arms against the system since "they haven't come for them yet" - but so long as blue voters always remember they have blood on their hands and feel remorseful about the choice they made - that can be channeled into positive change via direct action.
