I have never seen a human body dismantled by physical violence in front of me, that does not mean I haven’t seen absolutely brutal forms of violence.
Homelessness in the US is an act of mass violence against some of the most vulnerable people in society.
- Comment on Another Xbocalypse begins: Microsoft are reportedly closing or spinning off Double Fine, Ninja Theory and Compulsion 2 days ago:
What pisses me off so much about the AI bubble as someone who was trained in science is the basic obvious fact that if you have a magic tool that can “solve any problem” but that takes a nearly impossible amount of energy to do so, taking so much energy that everything else has to be sidelined in order to power this magic problem solving tool… than you are just restating that the tool you have is incapable of problem solving.
Suppose there are two problem solving machines A and B. Problem solving machine A does not work very well but it takes a small amount of energy, problem solving machine B is like AI in that it can tackle “any problem” if given nearly all the electrical power and computer chips that humans can produce.
Both problem solving machine A and B are equally useless even though the owners of problem solving machine B can make grandiose claims about the power of their problem solving machine if they conveniently exclude the “energy required” part, which as someone trained in science ends up seeming pretty damn similar to someone arguing that their perpetual motion machine is capable of perpetual motion so long as we feed all of the electrical power humanity can generate into it…

This picture was originally was taken to emphasize the violence of antihomeless architecture in public spaces.
The ridiculous costumes emphasize what you would have to wear to be able to lay down comfortably whick kind of does fit the enzyme metaphor.

There was never any other realistic option here, Microslop is too dysfunctional and lost in the fake AI “revolution”.
- Comment on Travelodge Says ‘Free Palestine’ Greeting on TV Screen Was Antisemitic 4 days ago:
It is antisemitic as hell to suggest Palestine cannot be free without Jews suffering which is what saying “Free Palestine” equating to antisemitism does as it implies that Judaism is at its core meant to commit this Genocide against Palestinians, which is the most heinous way imaginable to me that you could drag Judaism through the mud.
- Comment on average physics student vs POTUS 47 5 days ago:
It isn’t just that Trump is a dumbass, being uneducated and “stupid” aren’t what makes Trump worthy of hatred and endless namecalling.
It is the complete lack of curiosity people like Trump have that I despise more than ignorance, it is violently antithetical to the basic reasons I love science and the pursuit of understanding the world. I am curious, I ask questions I don’t just accept shit that people say because they say it a lot. Trump hates people like me because we can walk all over him on basically any topic, and I hate people like Trump not because they don’t know anything but because they do not desire to have to know anything at all but what they want.

My bad, that was actually a great sarcastic comment, it is just that so many older people literally have said almost that exact same thing to me about equally stupid shit that doesn’t effect them and only hurts others but they truly deep down in their hearts wanted that I was unable to realize this was the unicorn moment.

Which is why these kinds of bans will always be extremely inconsistent, ineffective and ultimately only harmful to the people who cannot get around the bullshit blocks that the vast majority of kids simply circumvent.
So the kids with tech savy parents get to learn how to access the internet and get all those benefits, but kids who grow up with out techy parents are thrown to the dogs, sounds fair!

Right this is all about old people feeling safe, it has NOTHING to do with reality and it is shocking people like you are aggressively willing to endorse the destruction of things just because it gives you good feelings.

Wildly undemocratic.

- Comment on Starmer gives tech firms ultimatum to block explicit images on children’s phones 1 week ago:
The UK is returning to a society pre-Ulysses where freedom of expression is heavily censored with a blunt fist of government overreach.

This isn’t anything new, it is England regressing to a reactionary violent conservatism it knows well.

Conservatives only know how to do one thing while governing which is to close their eyes, press the gas pedal and dare the road to swerve as the charge ahead with no clue what is going to happen.
Ironic we call them “conservatives”.

Well I think if you eat those we can all agree that is an ok exception to eating vegetarian, it is more like self defense at that point.

So you don’t believe in Free Speech?
Are you a coward too afraid to let Hasan’s words reach your precious ears lest they change your mind?
Or are you just an authoritarian who pretends they care about things other than retaining power and control over what is allowed and what isn’t in society?
