I’d be down

“Not getting”

these people know what they’re doing. They choose to engage in these obviously false narratives because it lets them be part of an in-group. I’m being pedantic but I think the distinction matters.

First time I drove through I almost wrecked from doing such a hard double-take lmao

Anyone within like 50 miles of Huntsville Alabama has >90% odds of being connected to the military

Tennessee (a state with no income tax) voted to make state-level property taxes unconstitutional lmao

the smarmy, snarky, slimy language of Reddit posts like these is why LLMs talk like that

I’ve missed hibernation so much since switching from windows to Ubuntu

Everything I know about him I’ve learned against my will. I don’t know if there’s anyone I want to just disappear from any sort of relevance more than this loser.
Oh my god he’s still getting 100-200k views on his videos holy fuck

I tried to make a similar statement here a few weeks back (probably not as well articulated) and got some serious pushback. I think it’s a major blindspot for a lot of people here.

Will Smith’s character says “Fairy lives don’t matter today” and stomps a little fairy to death

You have to be joking

Kalman filters rule, I think that’s an interesting metaphor I’m gonna ponder

This feels like “yeah some dorks have started smoking outside, and when I asked they gave me a bullshit answer.” But then again, it’s SV…

I don’t think much else has bummed me out as bad as when my partner has no close friends nearby, and when she tries to make new friends they kinda brush her off or put up weird walls. I wish I had advice but I really don’t know what a solution is.

Look at the sidewalks and bike lanes though!

I think you’re just not the target audience.

These feel contradictory, but the second is basically my point.

Understanding the technology doesn’t do anything for us beyond recognizing what the function of a Robocop is, or what the implications for automated precrime detection are

We should understand its capabilities as well as its limitations, weaknesses, and specifically how to paralyze and destroy it.

I just don’t see how this is a useful attitude. AI is going to be used to monitor, identify, exploit and punish you. Without any knowledge of its capabilities and operation, you won’t be able to even begin to strategize how to counteract this. I’m not saying YOU must use it every day, but ignorance is exploitable.

I’m beginning to suspect it will be a formation born out of something like tenant organizing. There’s a lot of good work happening in LA and Kentucky. If those organizations can consolidate across a broader region, they feel well-situated, to me, to actually start to lead.

I haven’t been able to quite articulate my thoughts yet, but the all-or-nothing attitude I’ve seen from a lot on the left just feels misguided to me. At the barest minimum, we need to develop an understanding of its capabilities, which is incompatible with total rejection.

I’ll be honest, I think we can oppose AI as much as we want, but we need to have an understanding of its capabilities and how it works.
With the amount of cash the pentagon and 3-letter agencies are pouring into it, I think assuming it’s all going to be gone in 10 years is kind of naive. I mean, the pentagon supposedly used Claude to choose that school in Minab to target. Hegseth is firing people for not using AI in their daily tasks. Add to that the announcement a couple weeks ago from the heads of the big companies that they want to slow down and get governmental regulation sorted out, and I don’t really see it going away entirely anytime soon.
