It's no more an abstraction than working with a bunch of contractors to make an app.

Personally, I'm overjoyed to see the internet stratify and the chuds depart for whatever libertarian/accelerationist pastures they're looking for. I just want to chat with human beings about human endeavors. If that shrinks m

Oh, really? And what uncomfortable truths have you been slinging?

What we get paid for is entirely socially determined, not some immutable axiom. And AI is not an abstraction.

And the other side is convinced that there’s nothing truly special and mysterious about humans, which feels inherently disturbing. Like, these people would swap their brains with a computer in a hot second if they thought it would make th

Some laws are very obviously unworthy of consideration, with broad consensus from the public. See what happened when Napster came out. Literally no one cares about some red-faced RIAA suit flicking spittle over some shared Metallica albums.

Outrageous only to the died-in-wool corpocrats.

Not OP, but copyright law is an absolute joke. No, I don’t care one whit that someone’s TOS was violated. In fact, I find it hilarious. And it’s not “theft.”

If that's all we wanted, we wouldn't make them talk like humans and pretend to have a sense of self and emotions.

Maybe the "left behind" rhetoric stems from the underlying anxiety of this whole thing imploding and taking the economy with it.

The true hackers have long left this site, I'm afraid. What's left is an audience devoted to power, money, and being the boot that stamps on a human face.

No conspiracy, just someone who loathes white supremacy with every fiber of my being. And yes, this is exactly the core platform of any Western party pushing for ethnic cleansing and “remigration.” (Deportation of anyone considered not Swed

“Ignoring this bit of gutter racism is the only way to move forward.” No fucking thanks. Not an inch. Here’s a politically savvy idea: maybe somebody should make an immigration-skeptical party that’s not frothing at the mouth about ethnic c

This is how we get psychos like Alex Karp running the world. Of course his ire is useful. You just don’t want it to be.

Nobody's gonna change their mind about AI wastefulness from an obviously AI-generated infographic. The author should have realized this with about 5 seconds of thought. The medium is the message.

I flagged your comment for adding zero additional information to the discussion. Let's see if it also sticks around.

"Hordes," huh? Is that how your mother taught you to talk about other people?

Someday soon, I trust the present tide of white supremacy will turn. What will racist creeps like DHH do then? There’s no taking these dehumanizing words back. They are opting themselves out of participation in a future world. At the very

I don’t think it matters. My Studio Display XDR has pretty bad motion performance (similar to Macbook, maybe a touch better) and you can still play first-person shooters perfectly fine. In the general case you don’t notice it much. It’s onl

In my experience JetBlue and American Airlines usually fly Airbus.

by archagon 3mo ago
Sure there is. Just fly carriers that use an Airbus fleet. It’s honestly pretty trivial.

Exchanging messages with an algorithm that pretends to have a concept of self and emotions is inherently disturbing.

> I strongly agree that written text should be from humans to humans. Yet I still write all of my texts with LLMs. Hypocritical garbage. Into the blacklist you go. If you can’t even use your own words for basic communication then ther

This is a non-sequitur? ATProto was explicitly designed to not be compatible with ActivityPub. They shot first. So why are you focused on tone-policing ActivityPub?

A bizarre exaggeration. In my feeds, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the people I follow use non-.social instances. The same cannot be said of Bluesky.

Yeah, but people aren’t uploading high quality music to begin with. It’s probably like two or three levels of compressed by the time you yt-dlp it.

The hacker intelligentsia is long gone from this site. It’s little more than a VC/tech merc mixer.

Everyone thinks they’re an expert, but AI is brand new and nobody knows what the fuck they’re doing or what the ramifications are going to be. I see a lot of people cheerfully deskilling. I think it’s going to end up being a costly mistake
