I like your version much better.

Instead of just focusing on the negative, it not only includes an example of a positive state of being but highlights the resilience of that good nature even when faced with the negative/harmful nature of another.

That makes me think of how much it annoys me when things are really messy and disorganized in our house, which is very often.

It's like there's no indexing. Where is thing X that somebody else used last? Time to start a fresh empty-cache brute force search of the whole space!

Thought 1: This is the most Lemmy image I've seen all day.

Thought 2: I am unavoidably going to make a comment to my wife about grabbing her like a dual shock controller. Probably right as said grabbing occurs. And I probably won't explain myself.

The whole tech world is just so frustrating. (in before reply pointing out that it's capitalism causing the frustration - yup)

Some of these "features" and "safeguards" might make sense coming from a trusted entity. Even in the real world with evil Google the changes might help some users who use Google everything and might benefit from being blocked from doing stupid things.

But it's not even close to worth it. They cannot be trusted on their own, and now the influence and access of the US government seems 10x worse than it already was.

What's astonishing to me, as an American who grew up in white conservative rural and suburban areas, is that the racism is just one facet of a much larger shitty state of existence.

I see the same things IRL from ordinary people, like extended family, that I see from the people in the media who seem like hyperbolic caricatures trying to test Poe's law.

It's just an existence based in negativity. Every request has a hurried frustrated tone. Every discussion is composed entirely of complaints. The complaints about others are bigoted sure, but also very focused on money and material possessions which those other people never deserve and the speaker is neverrrrr jealous about. Personal identity is built from all the things you don't like.

I have a good relationship with my family, but they are still miserable and draining to be around.

😅 Hey there fellow human Fediverse user!

✈️ Wanna get away from all the AI slop?

👍 Well you are in the right place.

😎 Lists are great, and bulleted lists are classy, but emoji-bullet lists are the coolest most human thing ever!

🧐 Using glue in place of pizza sauce actually binds the fat and makes it more healthy!

🫡 Do YOU have two 5090s on order like a good person?

Same with what we were hearing about the Linux desktop!

...yet here we are in 2026 and literally all my desktops have since become Linux, lol.

Timely anecdote!

Yesterday my son asked me what AI means, and if it meant something is fake. He's young so I didn't go into the LLM distinction, just defined how "artificial" means yes it's fake, and "AI generated" just means they asked a computer to make it.

It reminds me of when everything was "cloud cloud cloud!!!" It's just other people's computers!

I think you mean the concept of that existing is one of the big successes of people who debate scientific topics by flooding the conversation with rapid-fire assertions and FUD.

Narcissism + recklessness + greed + privilege, filtered through a heavy layer of survivorship bias, and whatever jackass makes it to the end was apparently a bold visionary genius the whole time.

But then once they're in that club, the money and notoriety are their own advantage.

This makes total sense to me.

The big models were trained on what might as well be everything public that people have ever written.

So I'd expect that their output will be a pretty convincing example of something that some random person might have written. And getting fooled by the wording in a joke is something that people do all the time. In fact, I bet examples of people getting it wrong are over-represented in the training data because that is more worth of reposts and will DrIvE EnGaGeMeNt!

20-30 years ago the big question was whether a computer could pass the Turing test.

Little did we realize that was the last thing we wanted! Simulating humans means simulating mistakes.

The problem is with the psychos and grifters that want to take this "passable simulation of random schmuck's ramblings" and sell it to the business world as a literal deus ex machina that will swoop in and relieve them of their pesky "pay the humans" problem and is literally a $10-100 Trillion IP that we're going to restructure our world around.

The war crimes he’s committing are far more atrocious than anything he could have possibly done with Epstein.

Yeah, but unfortunately the severity of the political consequences for each does not correlate well with the severity of the offense, especially for the person living in the bubble of the US Presidency. Double especially a Republican one!

When it comes to their voters, a president like W or Trump is pretty much expected to generate a steady flow of corpses of dehumanized non-people on the other side of the world somewhere.

But release just one video of Trump raping a child, or one pic of Trump blowing Bubba, and that's literally a thousand times worse. There are so many millions of ignorant people who just go along with what they're taught and have reinforced through echo chambers. They are seasoned pros at making excuses for their cult leader and looking past faults. His crimes are him being a shrewd and smart businessman. His cheating and predatory behaviors are because he's a lion among men who drowns women in testosterone if he doesn't move along.

But a real pic of him with a dick in his mouth? Like, corroborated with sources by multiple journalists who release it at the same time? Imagine the number of supporters Trump has lost because of Gaza, Iran, and all military stuff combined over the past decade. He loses 10x that number within in the first day after the pic. It's a horrible thing to say, but it's true.
