Well, if you lived in a small town like I did, you didn't have stuff like this. And we weren't strictly poor, but money was a lot tighter back then (1980s). My mum sewed a lot of our own clothes for instance, besides the job she had. We were one of the few families from our town who went to Italy for holidays though.

I don't think AI made it, the software interpolated it from scraped web content. And for AI to cure cancer, it would have to scrape the notebooks of actual researchers who are about to go public.

It's rather the opposite, the shrinking makes for less small accidents because the junk gets less trapped or dangling in the way.

There's some truth in that, but Lemmy is not society for me. I come here for memes, comics, other funny stuff and once a week I'll discuss what books I'm currently reading. I don't want to read about politics here, and I don't want to interact with assholes.

Dolphin males have a prehensile penis. They can wrap it around objects, and carry them as such.
THis reminds me of an old joke; Tarzan is swinging from some vines when suddenly it happens, he hits into a tree. One of his arms is wasted, one of his eyes is gone and his dick is also pulped. So he goes to a medicine man to get stuff fixed. The medicine man gives him the eye of an eagle, the arm of a gorilla and the trunk of an elephant for a dick. Three weeks later he meets the medicine man who asks him how it's going. He answers, "Well, the eye is pretty great, I can see for miles an miles. The arm is also great, I can swing from the vines single handed. But the trunk, whenever I swing low by the ground, it picks some grass and tries to shove it up my butt."
- Comment on Why is Nadal Hassan's execution being livestreamed? What makes him so special? Why not other people's execution's live streamed? What Jared Loughner? Or Bryan Kohbeger? 4 weeks ago:
Public executions also permitted the state to project its superiority over political opponents.
Nazi Germany utilized public execution by hanging, shooting, and decapitation.

These are all personal freedom issues, though the right to hold guns can also interfere with others' freedom.
- Comment on Wake up, liberal 1 month ago:
Liberalism is a political philosophy that classically strifes for as much freedom for the invidual as possible without limiting other's freedoms, separation of church and state, small governments, and free markets without government interference. In theory it can both be left or right in politics, but in my experience they're globally more right leaning (probably due to the small government and free market ideas, which can ultimately lead to ladder pulling tendencies). It is only called leftism in the US because the conservatives are even more to the right, globally US liberals would be seen as right-wing with some exceptions.

I think we just don't understand each other here. At least, I'm lost at what belief I have to back up. But I'll wind back to the first reply I made, and remove any comparison of local models vs cloud, since I don't know how many people use the cloud models, and I don't know how many people use local models. So, here it goes:
Your reply is about people turning off their computers after using AI. Which they can and will do. Now, again, forget about the local models or online models. It's just people using AI and then turning off their computers, and you stated you didn't know people do this. I hereby state that people actually do that.
So, before someone goes back to why I dragged local and cloud models into this: (and trying to answer to what I think was implied in your original comment) I wrote about local models vs cloud computing, and that cloud computing doesn't stop being useful after one user is done with it. This may also be read as an indirect reply to the person you replied to, who stated people over estimate the energy usage of using AI vs doing it the other way.

I'm not going to do that, because I hate it when comments get edited in such a way that the whole context changes. However, to clarify: to your reply "I didn't realize people shut off their computers after having AI do something they might not have otherwise done anyway" I answered that yes, people actually do that. If they run a local model, the model also shuts down. If they don't run a local model, they can still shut down their computer and the next user can use ChatGPT or whatever online model they use.

- I never claimed that computer usage goes down thanks to AI, and honestly I don't see how that could be interpreted from my comment.
- I never implied offline models are the norm anymore than you implied ChatGPT sits idle once a user logs off.
- Comment on I getting more and more enraged seeing self proclaimed leftists resorting to ghastly Gen AI to bastardise their rather humorous ideas. 1 month ago:
They do actually. And for the people not running local models, the idea of cloud computing is that once you're done with it, someone else takes over. If you're talking about the necessity of it all, sure, but we're also not exactly advancing the human race by being on Lemmy are we?

The Netherlands has them, if a building has multiple apartments there usually is a HOA. I think it used to be a lot like in the US where some bored pensioner decides to ruin everyone else's day, but these days they are more and more run by corporations.
