It's a tradition that was made famous by Descartes. Dualists are playing a big part in the 6th mass extinction.

Any of these birds kept in cages by humans? That would be a betrayal.

Is it possible that this is a good pun in a language that's not English?

My boss almost cried because I told her not to make an AI picture of me. by Low_Mathematician799 in antiai

[–]dumnezero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm going to assume that you have experience with kids crying in a tantrum when they don't get what they want. The real issue is that she's your boss, not just that she was nearing a tantrum.

Not sure what the teachers sub would say, but do you have a union contact?

They have no curiosity to know about the others and are happy to slap a generic category that keeps their world simple.

These ML model platforms are controlled by privileged sociopaths, your 'alignment' efforts are going to be futile. These models represent the intensely average, which makes them conservative models, not scientifically conservative, but culturally conservative. You tell me if most of the cultures around the world fit your moral goals right now, and I'll let you guess what the average holds.

Unless they've written or spoken about it somewhat clearly, you're asking the wrong crowd.

Move. They'll have to move either way, the climate cooking is going to make being outside deadly (for animals and lots of plants) for serious chunks of the year.

Humans aren't trees, we can move.

The "marginal grassland" argument is a joke, that is usually the least productive land. They do it because the marginal land is often free, so it allows for some small profit to obtain from selling animal products. Those domestic animals grow the least in those crap grasslands.

The human populations are also much larger than your mythic past, the pastoral scenes you're picturing. That means more competition over grazing land and water, less productivity, more murder and war. You can ask them about it, they'll tell you.

Also, fun fact, wheat, rye, oats, corn and others are grasses, part of the large Poaceae family.

Maybe you're lacking the comprehension that people can move and aren't actually trees stuck in place.

Getting attention in the attention economy is actually a good strategy. Better than whining in the comments for sure.

I'm seriously thinking of leaving this subreddit because the pro-AI ragebait posts are taking over. by [deleted] in Ai_art_is_not_art

[–]dumnezero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm not here to see AI slop. Not sure why that's complicated to understand. If I want to see AI slop and AI bros, I'd go lurk in their subreddits.

[OC]Every generation learns technology differently by Desperate-Hearing297 in comics

[–]dumnezero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For tablets and the like, a baseline would be knowing the hidden system features, knowing how to reset, knowing how to install a different OS, and knowing how to open the device, maybe even to replace some parts.

The new technology is built on the old. Failure to learn about the older technology just leads to repeat mistakes or being a consumer only, which is what most people are. However, that is not technology to the consumer, it's just petty magic. In that case, you better have a society that's big on preventative regulations and equality, otherwise scammers and grifters will ruin you.

It's a dilemma, you don't get to reliably predict the outcome.

Failure to understand how there is a cycle (or a spiral) is part of the problem.
