anyone else old enough to remember when the great promise of the internet was disintermediation?

good times

remember when this guy was like “i dunno, maybe intelligent design is real”?

i guess uyghurs aren’t human.

that tracks with chinese policy.

out of curiousity, how much do you get paid to post on lemmy? is it a decent gig?

don’t worry, guys, the democrats will save us!

i have it on good authority from about half of lemmy that china is a wonderful place where everyone feels safe and actually there never were any uyghurs, since that’s just western propaganda

the overton window isn’t real. it only ever constrains the left. the right doesn’t acknowledge it, and clearly doesn’t need to

“gets ran out”

good editorial control there folks. very legitimate sounding

exactly. he spent 30 minutes calling the irish ignorant, but the words “gulf stream” never tickled his neurons.

the extra-irony is that up until the last 10-15 years, “gulf stream” is what everyone in the usa called it, too. hank’s just so tech-pilled he can’t see anything else.

“splattered” “lightening”

you can really tell they do their due diligence over there

ah yes, hank green who spent an entire video chastising the citizens of ireland for being ignorant of the amoc.

dude never even bothered to think people called it something else there.

hes always been a self-satisfied, arrogant knob

deleted is a column in a database

step 1: run country like business

step 2: put guy who ruins every business he touches in charge

step 3:

you gotta give the ai bros credit, they’ve managed to turn “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” into a multi-disciplinary corporate stratgy.

re-read, it says the opposite: helps a little.

although, tbh, i’m not entirely sure of that either, but the reasoning is complex and longer-term.

local models don’t appear out of the ether. using a local model solves one problem around privacy of your prompts, does little about consolidation of power, and nothing about the thousands of other problems genai brings.

if your organic coffee is made with slave labor, you still have a massive problem.

and they may not be of the devil, but they definitely are of the humans who most resemble the devil.

what else are you supposed to do when things aren’t done properly? it’s just common sense. not racist. the migrant crisis in europe proves that, surely. i just love to look across the pond at some of their creative ideas for how to deal with people who just refuse to do things the right way. if only we also had a large sea we could just let them drown in, instead of having to spend so much money after they get here. clever stuff there from enlightened europe!

“sensibly”

are you american?

oh no, here we say “the right way”

vesca’s seeds grow out, virginiania’s are dimpled.

yah, mock strawberries, in my experience, don’t get that big.

i’ve never had the vesca, but i grow virginiania, and while small, they are very delicious. vesca is very similar, from my understanding.
