And this is actually all to benefit Putin (and also coincidentally to distract from the Epstein files). The rising oil prices mean Russia can sell, to the few remaining allies they’ve got, their cheaply produced oil for even more profit.

What I find quite ironic is that dessalines started Lemmy to get away from the perceived over-moderation of Reddit… only to do the exact same thing.

Power tripping people rarely limit themselves to power trip on a single angle.

And while Lemmy’s open source, it’s a big enough codebase for someone to add a bit of admin override that can go unnoticed for quite a while. Just remember what happened with xz.

I mean how else could one react to this frog faced rapist twat? Vaginal dryness and the sudden need to punch him in the face are usually the two most common reactions.

I think you’re overshooting with your response.

My statement had nothing to do with LLMs, or targeting Iranian schools. I was simply responding to the previous statement that a computer will fail you.

Computers don’t fail people. They’re precision instruments, and anything short of a cosmic ray bit-flip, or hardware failure, will not result in a failed execution of its instructions. Therefore the computer didn’t fail YOU - YOU failed to provide adequate instructions for it to do what you wanted.

Even in your reply you specified that these neural nets are being given specific information to train target selection on. Sure, the AI is nowhere near the keyboard (well, it actually is, but more on that later), but then again, WHO fed the AI the training data? WHOSE decision resulted in the AI spitting out a school as a viable bombing target? Ultimately a human sits at the top of the chain, even if it was multiple automated AI systems that collated, labelled, sorted and managed the training dataset. The reason why those highly advanced neural nets didn’t work the way they were expected to (even accounting for the NN black box effect), is, ultimately, down to human failure.

Mind you by failure here I am simply talking about expected outcome vs what happened. The expected outcome being the AI providing 100% viable combat targets, active combatants, military bases, etc., not a school full of children. Because while the cheetoh in chief might be a raging narcissistic child rapist bastard, I doubt most of the rest of the US armed forces agrees with bombing children, so the original goal of the AI had to be to provide said viable targets. Therefore there had to be a human component that provided the data to skew the targeting, and that human component was most definitely sitting in a chair in front of a keyboard…

And if that doesn’t work, try folding and unfolding.

Now now, come on, don’t be so ableist, young adults can be paedos too!

AND IT WILL FAIL YOU

Counterargument: 99% of non-hardware-issue-related “misbehaviour” of computers is actually PEBKAC.

Your failure to use a computer =/= computer failing you

If anything, Gen Z to-be-wives are more independent and self-realising than any generation before. And I’m all for it.

I might just be too high but I needed a solid minute to stop seeing the meat as bits of pink knitting

It’s all about traffic.

Toss in some ads and while you lose some customers you start generating revenue.

And yet the orange turdsack’s name still appeared more times than the rest of the big names combined… quite telling, ain’t it?

Except it isn’t, because you have to access the data of that GPS receiver somehow.

I’m so fed up with people having this misconception that GPS somehow on its own exfiltrates one’s position. It doesn’t. You’re literally just using a pre-defined arrangement of satellites that broadcast their IDs to establish location. It’s entirely local because GPS signal is only received by people.

So no, just by having GPS, you can’t be found by anyone. Not even governments or the CIA.

Now, if that GPS receiver feeds into a smart system that is exposed to the internet… that is a different topic as there’s tons of ways to have apps preinstalled and pre-approved that can read the GPS receiver data and send it off to a third party. It can even be built into the OS.

However, permanently internet connected cars aren’t that widespread even today - most actually tend to rely on the driver’s phone and runs a very thin layer of smart stuff that simply enables the phone to use the car dashboard as a terminal.

The name “Femerator” is especially funny after you read “I Will Break You” by Gigi Styx. One of the primary trigger warnings of the book is “inappropriate use of a thigh bone”.

Who the fuck are these people even?

Why are you trying to draw a false equivalence between your scenario, and mine? They’re vastly different in outcome and justifiability, so why are you trying to strongarm one into the other?

It does not fit the metaphor but does complete the lesbian meme!

Acting in the moment to save someone, providing them support, is very, very different to going back in time to undo things that have already happened.

First of all, you already know that the person in question survives the trauma you’re trying to undo. It’s already part of their personality. Changing the past in this case doesn’t save their lives but potentially changes their personality in a major way.

It should’ve made it incredibly clear who’s who on the list of “thinking too much of the children”.

Oh no, that part was implied. Heavily.
