Usually it’s a case of a well thought out decent post, but then you scroll down to comments and it’s “men are trash” and etc, so you end up with a bunch of fighting, which detracts from the original point.

Prolly would be better if “comments on this are disabled” was more common practice.

Or if administrative systems actually punished people heavily for saying stuff like “(any group of people) are trash”

Thats the natural end game of capitalism, yes.

Not much you can do about it, it’s human nature.

You’re choosing between “lots of people being killed” vs “LOOOOOOTTTTTSSSS of people being killed”

Based on your own morality you have outlined, ethically you would choose to vote Kamala then, as under her far far fewer people will die.

Thats pretty reductive, mate.

I mean it boils down to “you better have a super good reason for this, cuz I expect you to take responsibility either way”

Weird take.

People can care about and discuss more than one thing at a time.

Maybe, but the intersection of this group and certain plane trips to a certain island is suspicious.

I don’t think it’s fear, necessarily always.

I think a huge amount of them are outright psychopaths genuinely looking for a legal/valid reason to hunt people.

There’s a reason the intersection of people who go out and hunt and kill animals for fun (not for food, bit sport) and people who actively harm fellow humans has an above average overlap.

They have to exert control over others through violence, to feel in control of their life.

An excuse removes responsibility.

A reason does not.

“You are excused” means you no longer are responsible for the outcome.

“I literally wasn’t present when it happened, so I’m not responsible for the outcome” < excuse, which can be valid

“I knew what was going to happen, here is why I did it for a good reason” < reason

Example: three kids are present, 2 are graffiti’ing the back of a house

When caught, 1 kid says “I was trying to stop them, they wouldn’t listen”. This is an excuse, they’re claiming they aren’t at fault and not responsible for the graffiti.

Another says “the home owner deserved it, he’s an asshole”, this is a reason as they are clearly not avoiding responsibility.

When you try and use an excuse to get out of something thar you clearly are responsible for, that’s when you will get served the “I dont want an excuse” line.

One vehicle delivering 2 peoples food is better than 2 people driving out to get food, tbh.

Overall delivery drivers substantially reduce traffic.

For more deliverable stuff like packages, 1 delivery truck delivery 40 peoples packages in one trip us so much better than 40 individual households all driving to Walmart or whatever.

I am fine with the majority of traffic just being delivery vehicles and public transit, those are the two actually effective uses for vehicles at the public level.

I’ve been looking for th8s for awhile too.

Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.

There’s been some I’ve found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.

Can you expand on this, particularly with how it relates to my post? I wrote specific questions I wanted to talk about and hear people’s thoughts on.

I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.

Well yeah, I’d hope so, that’s the entire point.

Catcha’s data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That’s “the point” of them.

It’s reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they’re often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the “payment”, they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

It’s why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity’s long term collected data silos that are very full now.

We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.

Not quite.

It’s mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.

As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.

You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they’re using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.

If you want to win an election, Google might be arguably the worst possible company to directly threaten, not gonna lie.

Pretty sure uf they wanted to, they could wbd your political career with any manner of ways.

I bet trump’s Google search history would be devastating if they threatened him with releasing it to the public, lol.

Sounds like a real story, and definitely not the sour grapes rambling of a racist incel…

I haven’t seen anything that indicates there is, so he’s not wrong.

While there’s links between depression and social media use, I haven’t seen anything causal determined.

It could be the other way around, that people are more likely to use social media when feeling depressed.

It’s very difficult to prove if a correlation is causal.

That would be what causal means mate.

What in the fake news is this?

“Our AI doesn’t make mistakes,” he declared, his smile as frozen as a crashed computer. “If it detected 37 eye-rolls, then that’s a clear violation of our new zero-tolerance policy on micro-aggressions.”

This is clearly fake as fuck, wtf even is this site?

Seems like a bunch of AI generated garbage meant to incite people.

Ew.
