  as a society there’s more than enough to take care of a disproportionate amount of “non-workers” but instead we make up fake bullshit jobs and force people to work 40 hour weeks so a tiny fraction of us can send their second plane to pick up their girlfriend to go on a date in Italy

  Oh hey it’s once again the “freedom advocate” who is always spouting off support for the most fascist oppressive shit going on in the world. I should learn how to block in this new app

  Fact: most fictional media takes place on earth. They clearly mean the lore will be shared.

  That’s a fair point, improving the subscription feed would be in their best interest for the people who use it, even if that number is low.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Algorithms are breaking how we think - Technology Connections⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problems with that feed which he touched on in the video are pretty significant. If you subscribe to channels that put out lots of content and ones that rarely do, it becomes much harder to use.

  One thing he didn’t mention is also that it’s not conducive to discovering and gradually catching up on the back catalogue of a new channel, which is something the home feed excels at.

  I’m sure YouTube prefers you use the home feed and has no plans to improve subscriptions, and there are real issues with it, so it’ll probably continue to decline.

  It’s the world’s longest border, a military defeat is certain but hundreds or thousands of Canadian partisans will easily get through to commit acts of terrorism and sabotage.

  Anarchist/socialist communities are always pro trans. I joined slrpnk.net because it’s got those as well as a focus on sustainable living. Your choice of instance doesn’t impact your feed too much.

  Songs of Conquest is a spiritual successor you might be interested in checking out. I agree HoMM3 is still great to revisit and SoC doesn’t quite scratch the exact same itch but it’s a good way to get more of the same but with some variety keeping it fresh

  Humor is subjective of course, but I think “dog” replaced with “husband” would have worked better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's new and cheaper magic beans shock America's unprepared magic bean salesmen⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t think your point was as shallow as “different people can have different opinions”

  I fail to see how this invalidates that someone can hold both the position that current AI is a waste of electricity and pumping out garbage while pointing out the potential social and economic disruption of future iterations of the technology.

  If your point was simply that some people hold one position, others hold the other, and others still hold both. Then… thanks? I think we can also call this a waste of electricity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's new and cheaper magic beans shock America's unprepared magic bean salesmen⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems you’re firmly entrenched and going out of your way to see a contradiction. I’ll let you be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's new and cheaper magic beans shock America's unprepared magic bean salesmen⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The cars that replaced horses were several iterations in, early “automobile” devices included steam powered carriages that moved slower than walking.

  A technology may start with limited usage while still having lots of potential.

  Technologies are always useless until they’re not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's new and cheaper magic beans shock America's unprepared magic bean salesmen⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I’ve been following the technology of neural networks and generative AI since before LLMs were the new hotness and it’s fascinating and powerful stuff.

  My qualms with what’s happening now are more about how we organize our economy and society. Rushing them to market, aggressively trying to cull workers, etc. are critiques of capitalism not AI. In a different world we would all be excited about the prospect of having to work less and reap the benefits of AI, but we wouldn’t be reopening coal plants and leaving people to starve on the street.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's new and cheaper magic beans shock America's unprepared magic bean salesmen⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Early cars weren’t a threat to streetcars and trains and urban planning but modern cars have reshaped every North American city. You can criticize the inefficiency, poor quality, energy waste, etc. of the technology today while also pointing out the dangers of tomorrow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's new and cheaper magic beans shock America's unprepared magic bean salesmen⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  are those competing?

  It’s being rushed to market and is still very inefficient, but part of the reason it’s being rushed to market is because companies are getting ahead of themselves about the opportunity to fire human employees.

  I’m not advocating for it to continue, it’s just too bad we’ll have to try to survive the collapse of the American empire.

  There were ways to end it that won’t result in so much suffering but we’re doing it the hard way. The United States will never recover from this, hopefully its people can

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tariffed Columbia in response to not letting a plane of deported illegals in.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  imagine looking at US hegemony and control over the world’s economies and thinking you’re doing everyone a favor. I guarantee you most nations would be happier if the US stayed the fuck out.

  Typical ignorant conservative seeing the world at face value. I’m glad to see some sense from your peers in this thread.

  It’s not about the sweets and cigarettes it’s just about the wealth acquisition. Same then as it is now. Companies are still using slave and otherwise coerced labor to extract all kinds of wealth from foreign countries.

  If any countries try to take control over their own economy by closing it to Western “investment” they get wrecked by the world bank and invaded or sanctioned by the US and/or its allies.

  Global capitalism is neo-colonialism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon expects more⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DoS is an adjustment after BG3, but I’ve come to prefer the combat and character build mechanics. I bounced off it soon after BG3 and got really into it after trying again later. If you thought you might enjoy it, worth another try.

  I hope their next game is DoS 3 (or a Shadowrun game if I dare to dream).

  For more D&D combat and mechanics I also highly recommend Solasta, and Solasta 2 will be coming out this year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Free" Speech Absolutist™⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is that LLMs are naturally biased but they’re also explicitly biased by the people training them. Knowing what biases are being programmed into these LLMs by their owners is a glimpse into their agenda.

  If you want to read more on the subject these are referred to as “system prompts” and you can read about various “system prompt leaks” that can include such things as explicitly right wing walking points.

  Grok may very well have such nuggets in its system prompt.
