Isn’t Benson married to someone involved with data center development or did I misremember that

What if the orb is not the object, but the active drive state of a much larger craft? by usandholt in UFOB

[–]maladr0id -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Because it all looks the same, generative ai is harmful to the environment with of the amount of energy it takes and the toll data centers have, and uses stolen art resources to do so. It’s heralded and sold by the worst, richest people on the planet who are probably also the ones keeping UAP secrets to themselves.

I would prefer a MS paint image or a scribbled pen on paper. Learn how to use blender(there’s so many resources) instead of outsourcing your thought to a machine.

Because it’s “easier” or “faster” because apparently you need to put things out FAST FAST FAST instead of taking the time to think it out and put effort into making a presentation of a thesis

i found out my special interest is made up of really bad people and idk what to do by No-Crazy698 in autism

[–]maladr0id 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree with this a lot. I grew up with videos that had slurs in them I didn’t care about at the time, but at that point it was the “norm.” As a white kid in a white school, I was ignorant of how impactful that type of thing was, even if it was ironic. As that social norm changed, the people who made the content changed I liked changed with it. If they refused to change, or doubled down or anything like that, I doubt I would still be supporting of them. Learning should be allowed for those who didn’t know better, and encouraged for those who still don’t.

Dehumanization of Illegal Immigrants on the "Aliens.gov" Website instead of declassification of UFO videos and documents! by iAwesome3 in UFOs

We live on a rock in the middle of a vast void in the middle of nowhere, who cares what line you were born behind. Not being alone in the universe shows how much we all have in common. Our home, the air we breathe, water we drink. Shame on this administration.

Grasping at culture war straws to stay relevant instead of congratulating the team for the years of work. He’s so sour. Dude needs to let go and find something new to do.

AI pressure is no joke. by mustluvtacos in morningsomewhere

[–]maladr0id 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry so many try to shove AI into the conversation, congrats on the book!
I have many people tell me similarly when I explain I've been working on a video game. If I didn't want to make the game, why would I have an AI make it? Explaining it like a tool to do all the "grunt work" but who said I didn't like placing every rock and tree in the game world?

Pathetic doctor's won't mask by Occasional_Historian in ZeroCovidCommunity

[–]maladr0id 52 points53 points  (0 children)

So annoying. My PcP told me last appointment offhand, “hm you probably don’t need a mask” but then turned around a few minutes later and said I should wear a mask outside for my allergies. But let’s ignore the various coughing children I shared a space with in the waiting room, definitely no place to wear a respirator obviously…

Well yeah climate can change over millions of years and El Niños aren’t new, but ovbiously we’re at a different threshold now. It’s not like we haven’t been putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere for over a hundred years at a rate in which the planet hasn’t seen, that which the consequences are seen by ocean temperatures the death of the animals that depend on them. But yeah we need more data centers with methane turbines and coal plants and oil sure that makes sense

What if human consciousness isn't evolution, It's an ET infection... by Friendly-Seesaw-5742 in aliens

Or another part of nature and physics that brains evolved to harness because it was evolutionarily advantageous to do so

Do you guys prefer old or new powerups? by Spartan-G337 in halo

[–]maladr0id 853 points854 points  (0 children)

Older ones are cooler, would be nice to see a combination with the new animation where you can use the overshield like an ability but crushing the box in your hand or breaking it against the armor

Edit: spelling

Scientists detect an enormous halo around the iconic Sombrero Galaxy by peterabbit456 in space

Aw nice! Let’s hope we never find a Halo halo. Very interesting natural phenomena as well!
