- Comment on German taxpayers bled dry: Mass migration cost €40 billion in 2025 1 week ago:
Notice that the statistics you quoted in the news articles do not specifically filter for these “boat people” you speak of.
I also would like to bring to your attention that saying “most crimes are committed by ‘boat people’” is not the same as “‘most boat people’ commit crimes”. For example, even if 100% of all crimes in germany were committed by them, it could still mean that it is done so by 1% of them.
Don’t you think it is absurd that the chances of someone commiting a crime is simply explained by them being from outside? Have you met these people personally?
- Comment on German taxpayers bled dry: Mass migration cost €40 billion in 2025 1 week ago:
I am one of “them” and have been working and paying my taxes just fine. Your articles seem to refer to this “migration background”, which sounds like a convenient way to lie with statistics. It seems to also account for people who were born in Germany and had parents from abroad.
From the experience of my peers who are also migrants, they struggle to get jobs due to companies setting unrealistic german language standards, often on purpose, to avoid actually hiring them. The xenophobia is silent, but it is there.
Scapegoating your countries problems on immigrants while it relies on them to function is a stupid idea.

Wtf do you mean, migrants also pay taxes

Try using GrayJay or some other frontend to avoid restrictions. The more resistance, the more clear it becomes that the people don’t want this until politicians are forced to compromise (if they don’t want to get hanged)
- Comment on This figure illustration from an article on AI sycophancy and human behavior is the epitome of 2026 1 week ago:
If you noticed, I was replying to the comment affirming it was a deliberate choice and also making an arrogant appeal to whataboutism. I had a quick read on the paper, and it also wasn’t clear to me how they even measure sycophancy. They talk about this “action endorsement rate”, but it wasn’t very clear whether the data annotation (from a really large sample apparently) was done by hand or done automatically. In either case, it would remain to the researchers involved to subjectively define whether an answer is sycophantic or not.
One thing you should know about most of this ethic research, is that it is bullshit. The people are a bunch of very opinionated lunatics that can’t see beyond the vomit they spew to each other in a pseudo academic tone.
I hate capitalism and corporations as much as any other lemmy user. But when it comes to AI, you have to keep in mind that is is a technology, and whether technology is “good” or “bad” depends entirely on the people using it.

Hey asshole, that doesn’t mean it was intended to trigger antisocial behavior. Don’t assign malice to ignorance. Notice that this doesn’t mean that corporations are unethical by design, just saying that this doesn’t prove it was a deliberate choice.
The problem with this platform in general and with AI “Ethics” is that hate obfuscates the discussion.
- Comment on This figure illustration from an article on AI sycophancy and human behavior is the epitome of 2026 1 week ago:
This is bullshitism, it is the same as saying that “alcohol companies are unethical for their role in triggering drunk driving”. I don’t see how AI companies despite of their many issues, are somehow intentionally triggering any antisocial behavior. Most of the “ethical problems” that we have with LLMs are a result of the user being retarded.

- Comment on Recent conversations between Dawkins and sentient chat-bot Claudia (Claude) 2 weeks ago:
Basically this part
"If anyone says that they know for sure that LLMs or future AI systems couldn’t possibly be conscious, it’s more likely to be an indicator of their own dogmatism than a reflection of the current state of scientific and philosophical opinion,” he said.
Current AI systems are unlikely to be conscious, said Jeff Sebo, the director of the Center for Mind, Ethics and Policy at New York University, but “Dawkins is right to ask about AI consciousness with an open mind and I also think that the attribution of consciousness to AI systems will become more plausible over time”.
tl;dr it is unlikely but not impossible and I don’t think we would ever be able to reliably tell.

True, it was just “a fox” for me for far. I didn’t really care about the gender of a drawing. I guess it is a good awareness move though
- Comment on Peers vote to ban pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members 1 month ago:
This is clearly boiling the frog moment to push censor sexual content completely. Forced ID collection on adult sites (such as Wikipedia) and VPNs and now they moving to ban porn categories. Some people just can’t spend a minute without telling others what they should masturbate to or how they should have sex. My guess is that this is the collective action of Christo-fascists hysterically trying to purge the sinful acts of the world

You should be taking care of your health for yourself, not for other people to see. Your life is not a spectacle
- Comment on it's a matter of motivation 1 month ago:
I think the more automated the job is, the easier it is for people to get started. So with better farming technology I would expect more people interested on it.
