Surrogacy?

Live in a town called sorry?

Same with a local queer server that made an XMPP server. Only 4 (including me) actually made an account. The only reason ANYBODY joined is because were all anarchists but for most lazyness outweighed paranoia

Wait wtf why is peargor tweeting this

Did not expect seeing the obscure artist i found like 8 years ago in this context

I took public transit to nyc because I dont want to deal with having a car with me, but I honestly regret it. The only bus back home is at 730am, with a 1 hour train ride to the station (so I need to wake up at 6am to be safe). I need to take another train home, which only runs every 2 hours, an I need to wait an hour. The ride itself is another hour. 8 hours for a trip I could have make in 4 hours, and for nearly half as much in gas compared to fares

The bus fare is fast too, most of the other options habe multiple changes that extend the 4:30 by HOURS. It could take me 10 hours of public transit

I fucking HATEEEE layovers, and changes. Routes and lines that are only ran every couple hours, so EVERY step can easily add an hour or more to a journey

The white trim made me think it was spewing milk everywhere

What you mentioned was exactly what happened to me. I was literally a MINUTE walk from home and the button just WASNT doing anything, and the street was insanely busy. I was waiting for 30 MINUTES before I legit called my mom to drive like 300 feet to pick me up. It took 1 minute.

I was scarred from walking much ever since.

Same. If I’m at home trying to sleep I will genuinely have a panic attack without it. It’s the only thing that strongly occupies my attention enough to prevent a panic attack from setting in (that I can do while in bed)

Anything else is not personally engaging enough to prevent my mind from wandering (like listening to music, browsing Lemmy, or reading)

Anyone else feel really allienated when people act like it’s normal for women to have an anxious breakdown in the presence of, or interacting with a dude?

I don’t want to downplay what some go through, or the trauma that people relive, but it’s not normal or healthy to be living in constant fear of the opposite sex.

For all the guys who feel like their presence is an active threat to the women around them: just be normal. Be courteous, but don’t treat them higher, or lower, than anyone else you meet. Feels weird I have to say that

I think it’s that way for many, manyyyy things. It was what I felt learning professional timberframing (in the Japanese tradition). Online there is an incredible abundance of information, plus admiration of handtools, especially by professionals, but in the real world they are used very lightly, and the skills developed fine tuning them do not apply as much as you think.

I was expecting to beat my chisels like mad, but we mostly just pare (slicing cuts) with them.

No because corps and oligarchs will campaign against it, inexplicably win, and destroy one of the country’s greatest achievements with cheers and applause

Its cynical, but its happened to many social programs thay way.

Also super dumb to assert “after x years, it always dies!”

Like ya, everything already dies eventually. Imagine writing “every human who lived past 70 ALWAYS DIES!!!”

Yeah, in the book’s last page there are contact details for feedback and comments.

Ya, sorry! I added one but it failed to attach

They say this whilst trying their best to make EVs the printers of the car industry. Update? The car stops and bricks itself for the duration of it. Want basic features? You have to pay a monthly subscription for the car you already payed for. Need it repaired? Have to bring it to a dealership with criminal prices because every part is serialized and they have you by the balls. Need a new battery after it kicks the bucket in 4-5 years? Expect to pay $10-20k for a new one. Oh and of course the center terminal/tablet is now crucial for the cars function, so anytime that malfunction it bricks itself again. Oh and it will always track and spy on you with GPS and onboard cameras and microphones.

Classic Streisand at play “DONT listen to this band cause they are SUPER evil and they are the DEVIL!!!”

You’d think religious people would eventually learn the harder they try to repress exploration, the more they end up encouraging it. It’s more fact than stereotype that the most sexually repressed and sheltered growing up end up becoming the freakiest and kinkiest.

It blurs the line of accountibility, and it provides the facade of super intelligence, leading to negligent use of it.

AI cannot be held accountable. It physically can’t. You can’t criminally charge, fine, or imprison an algorithm. IBM reasons that because of this, it should not hold any position of management, or make major decisions autonomously.

Despite that, we are constantly see being used in increasingly high stakes desicions, and advising of such. AI lawyers, politicians using it to communicate with their voters and “summarizing” their concerns, AI in HR management, AI professors (as well as professors using AI) and the list goes on. There is no recourse for malpractice in these scenarios, and allows bad actors to work with impunity. Nothing ever stopped anyone from spewing nonsense, that’s what freedom of speech is for, but the reputation of such peoples would be tarnished, theyd become outcasts in their field, and their writings disregarded. AI blurs that once again.

Closely related to the issue of liability, is the negligent use of AI. If someone wanted to create misinformation, they had to have malicious intent. Now, out of pure laziness, or profit driven desire, most content has become AI. With all of it its hallucinations and delusions included. Because AI training data now includes AI content, these delusions cause the model to become “inbred” which cause it repeat its own lies, until its regurgitated as fact.

This in turns causes a death of truth, and all profesions who hinge on providing the truth. Journalists, researches, scientists, publishers and writers of academic journals, as well as small communities of hobbyists, being drowned in misinformation about their own niche craft. It destroys and buries real, truthful and productive conversation, while hindering all intellectual progress.

Its existence is a fantasy for anti-intellectual actors, which include government, and large corporate entities who’s greatest enemy is a well informed, and educated public.
