Apparently discoveries in the past few decades indicate that the people who built Giza pyramids were not actually workers.
Lehner’s excavation of the worker’s village paints a clear picture of the pyramid laborers, highlighting a higher quality of life than previously believed. The workers had access to high quality food, were given proper burials, and lived under an organized labor system, where workers contributed to various societal and construction functions of their own free will. This archaeological evidence directly opposes previous beliefs that the pyramids were the result of intensive slave labor. This misconception began with Greek Historian Herodotus, and was later popularized in pop cultural depictions of the building of the pyramids.[16]

But yeah, I’d have a hard time believing there was no music or singing involved building those.

Yes, and let’s also not count all the investments in infrastructure because you know… like training and staff it’s not a real cost that’s essential to the business.
Anyways, you wouldn’t happened to have heard that from Anthropocene or OpenAI?
Somehow we don’t have any actual indisputable numbers (I wonder why) but it is actually quite controversial and some of those who have done deep research on the subject are saying inference IS run at a loss and it might not get profitable ever.
- Comment on Should I post in the [Category] Comm or should I make a [Sub-Category] Comm and post there instead? (Or do I do both?) 3 weeks ago:
I feel it depends a lot more on how many songs you’d be posting compared to the other activity in c/music.
I’d say post some in the main comm, and if you really want to share a boatload with of songs (like multiple everyday for the foreseeable future) create your own community and cross post a select few to the main category.
It might be nice to have a community a little broader than just Chinese music, like for non western music or maybe East Asian music.

No it wouldn’t, it’d be very busy sleeping, which is all it does outside of the few hours when I’m home and awake.
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 months ago:
Except that’s not what we mean when we talk about ghosts. Ghosts are meant to be actual beings with an actual existence, if very different from living beings.
The concept of ghosts exist (as does for all things for which we have words). Some people do believe ghosts exists, and some might have seen ghosts (just like someone actually sees a hallucination). All this doesn’t mean ghosts exist, or else the actual concept of non-existence doesn’t exist - which makes the fallacy evident: if we are to consider that all concepts actually exist (further than just an idea), non-existence has to exist.

Yes, but we never needed to tell cats what to do, we just needed them to stick around and do what they do naturally : catch mice

So the rich are so rich that they create inflation, just not because of literal hoarding, got it.

Do you know of !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone ?
Don’t mean to imply that your post, or any women/gender-centric post, is not welcome here, I certainly think it is, but also posting over there might help you reach more women and further help you get the answers you are looking for.

There’s been a massive leak of data pertaining to the “great Chinese firewall” like a month ago or something. You might want to look into that.

There’s a lack of consensus the matter. Some specialists claim that it belongs to the family of Amphetaminoraptors.
