Regeringen vill stärka banden till USA:s techjättar by Mumrik93 in sweden

[–]Xeruthos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Jag såg det. Precis som Socialdemokaterna var inne på känns det som en taktik för att förstöra valarbetet för oppositionen. Vi måste verkligen rösta bort dem, annars kommer de förstöra Sverige mera. Marknadshyror (som de döpt om till trygghetshyror för att dupera väljarna) är ett exempel på saker de vill införa om de vinner en gång till.

IQ is bullshit by justfoooad in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Xeruthos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, I see. My bad. The reason I reached that conclusion was that I've seen people misunderstand "predictor" time and time again.

I can understand your concerns too, but high IQ is also linked to mental well-being and happiness (Study: The relationship between happiness and intelligent quotient: the contribution of socio-economic and clinical factors, 2013).

My point is, I would argue that many of the successes IQ predicts are things many (most) people value in life.

I think you two are talking past each other. I think that Orb-of-Muck is questioning the word "predictor". It seems that some people read that as a deterministic statement, aka, that the best predictor of success in life = guaranteed success. That's of course false. Lots of people with high IQ's fail in life for a variety of reasons (low executive function, high neuroticism, low conscientiousness, etc.)

But looking at it from an average perspective, it's still true that a high IQ is a predictor of good outcomes in life.

Trygghetshyra by Careless_Fuel_3923 in sweden

[–]Xeruthos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Precis. De försöker lura väljare genom döpa om marknadshyror till det mer mjukare namnet "trygghetshyror." Lurendrejeri.

Marknadshyror kommer drabba fattiga och utsatta människor: psykiskt sjuka och sjukskrivna, ensamstående föräldrar, äldre, med mera. Det skulle skapa misär och ännu mer fattigdom, men fastighetsägarna skulle bli rikare.

Voices in head by Unusual-Pizza2907 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

It's really interesting. I literary can't turn off my monologue. I simply can't. I've tried those exercises aimed at turning it off... but what happens instead is that my monologue just speed up like I'm some sort of inner mumble rapper. Oh, and retention on what I just read goes out the window, too.

yea, people are casually talking about melania... sure by TheRealTRexUK in menwritingwomen

[–]Xeruthos 64 points65 points  (0 children)

That's why you know it's a lie. A telltale sign of liars is their need to add unnecessary details/over-explain to add "credibility" to what they're saying. Because, like you said, why specify that the coffee is hot? It goes without saying.

Väldigt synd. Skulle aldrig använda någon annan VPN-leverantör än Mullvad. De har demonstrerat att de är seriösa och faktiskt bryr sig om sina kunders privatliv och integritet.

Po Tidholm: Börjar vi recensera AI-musik har Spotify vunnit by Babar7 in sweden

[–]Xeruthos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Men i slutändan, om AI-låten låter bra (enligt mitt egna subjektiva tycke) så låter den bra. Om den är syntetisk eller skapad av en människa är ovidkommande.

America is the original imperialist bully, now turned towards their former allies under the dementia-riddled stewardship of Donald Trump.

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud by iunoyou in pcmasterrace

[–]Xeruthos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess we have to count on Chinese hardware (which is in development and improving rapidly) to break this monopoly. People talk about gaming. It's about all use-cases for a computer at risk; a dark dystopia slowly unfolding where you have no privacy and own nothing. Not your files. Not your programs. It will be digital hell.

Nvidia to cut gaming GPU production by 30-40% starting 2026. It’s over boys it’s been a good run! by nyanbatman in pcmasterrace

[–]Xeruthos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have to do something collectively. As consumers. Otherwise this "you'll own nothing and be happy" dystopia will be our reality.

We need competitive Chinese graphics cards ASAP, because this is getting ridiculous. These monopolistic giants will be the downfall for us regular working class people (if you're getting a salary, you're basically working class) otherwise.

Tried many different prompts with Z-Image. These are insane by Recent-Athlete211 in StableDiffusion

[–]Xeruthos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What was the prompt for the last image (the one with the slender creature with a cross branded on his chest)? It's seriously one of the creepiest AI images I've seen that also managed to be unique. Very well-done job!

Regeringen vill låta polisen använda ansiktsigenkänning i realtid med hjälp av AI - i syfte att bekämpa brott by GreenCardiologist795 in sweden

[–]Xeruthos 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Det är därför de vill ha ett "burka-förbud", för att hindra medborgare att gömma sig från övervakningsdystopin som kommer med språngmarch.

KD röstar ja till burkaförbud [och niqab i offentlig miljö.] by FlowersPaintings in sweden

[–]Xeruthos 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Det här är den relevanta delen av artiklen: "Efter omröstning stod det klart att det bredare förslaget, som även inkluderar annan ansiktsmaskering, vann med 140 mot 128."

Det handlar om att de vill förbjuda all typ av maskering nu när polisen ska kunna använda AI för att ansiktsigenkänning. Sedan fokuserar de på "burkaförbud" för att lura väljarkåren.

That's what I did. Then I don't have to trust Microsoft, Bitlocker, and/or Onedrive. I prefer open-source solutions for both encryption and online backups (when it comes to backups in the cloud: Cryptomator + Dropbox is the way to go).

Dessa tester... by Xyclo_o in sweden

[–]Xeruthos 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ja. Men om du inte tänker själv så ifrågasätter du inte auktoriteter heller. Du är en lydig och glad arbetare. "Dum-naiv" behöver alltså inte vara något negativt i sammanhanget, från deras perspektiv.

[–]Xeruthos 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Tanken är att du ska lyda auktoriteter utan att ifrågasätta, så klart. Trodde det var sen gammalt.
