i’ve seen the same thing happen with a photo of a cat on a parking spot marked “SMALL CAR”
feels like people just NEED to use AI, regardless of whether it adds anything at all

- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 2 days ago:
IMO it’s just propaganda, it’s as simple as that. Evil people with no empathy want everyone to turn off their own empathy, so they can use their positions of power to exploit everyone else.
If people (sensibly) think that we should strive to be as kind as possible, it exposes the evil people as being obviously evil when they exploit others, and because we’re trying to be as nice as possible we then wouldn’t tolerate that and we’d take away their power so they can’t exploit people any more.
- Comment on Why is kindness often viewed as a sign of naïveté? 2 days ago:
the terrible awful no-good reality is that being kind is just objectively the most effective thing, and obviously the whole reason why us humans have become so powerful.
it’s incredibly easy to show why: you have a tree with 1 apple within easy reach, do you A) give the other person a boost so they can reach all the other apples and then spend the evening gorging with your new friend, or B) FUCKING MURDER THEM and eat the one apple while you watch the life fade from their eyes?
A sane person obviously chooses A, and it’s mind boggling that this has somehow become even remotely debatable.

actual real humans in reality also have this amazing ability to “talk” to each other, allowing them to communicate and say things like “hey you’re being a dick, stop being a dick and we can help each other instead, if you don’t stop then me and everyone i know will throw you into the ocean”

imagine if the sides of our jaws were disconnected in the middle and indenpentently movable, we had no palates, and one side only had molars and the other only had incisors, and we had to use our hands and tongue to get food into the throat.
i can only assume lobsters look at us and feel equally uneasy about how we work.

you don’t even need to resort to other animals, lots of humans are fucked and will happily suck on a lemon wedge with 0 indication that it’s remotely sour
like, i enjoy sour stuff, but if i touch my tongue to a raw lemon my entire face inverts

- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 days ago:
i’ll embrace AI when it actually works reliably, we’re still in the “this is cool but it’s obviously making up nonsense” phase.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 3 days ago:
i mean if a person spends enough time tweaking the prompt and stuff to get preciely what they want, then it’s to some degree reflecting the human who “”“made”“” it, like someone putting together a collage is selecting the images to use.
- Comment on Anyone else like that pasta 3 days ago:
not slop for once, it’s actually high quality
but it also didn’t need to exist and isn’t worth using AI to make an image of

- Comment on They're completely serious 3 days ago:
does that include actually finding the fossils? because not only is the formation of them rare, but places do be big so you either have to rely on blind luck to find them or places where for some reason there’s just an extraordinary density of fossils

i feel like at this point it should be utterly trivial to mount a camera on the ceiling and be able to control things with gestures, like pointing at the computer with the thumb out and rotating the hand to raise and lower volume
the fact that nothing even remotely like this is available is why people don’t think technology is fun any more

universal to all places that claim to be “a great place to raise a family” is that they are quite possibly the worst place to raise children, short of the middle of an active warzone or fuckass wyoming with 4 hours’ drive to the nearest human being

fwiw if you haven’t done so already you could suggest a public transport taxi system, we have that here in sweden for rural areas and it works fine.
basically the public transport org just operates taxis that run at set hours, and you can order a ride between any rural address and one of a list of select places in the city. It costs the same as any other public transport operated by the pt org and if multiple people in roughly the same area book within the same time slot then they use a minibus and collect everyone in one run.
You order the ride X hours in advance (in our case 1 hour) and when booking you get a specific time when you should be ready to get picked up.
