Whose mental illness?

decentralised platform that supports everybody and is free from the machinations of millionaires

Hum… Isn’t that part of the “Freedooomm!!!” dreams that comes bundled with minimum state and individual empowerment? I’m pretty sure it is.

AI owners will.

And if you then go around wandering “oh, but not every AI builds something those few people want”, “that’s way too few people to fill a market”, or “and what about all the rest?”… Maybe you should read Keynes, because that would not be the first time this kind of buying-power change happens, and yes, it always suck a lot for everybody (even for the rich people).

No, please, call everything AI.

Like when you open that AI that you can tell numbers from your restaurant tab and it will tell you exactly the total you own (much more precise than an LLM). Or that other AI that will tell you if each word you say is in the dictionary… Oh, there was once that really great AI that would decide the best time for heating the fuel in a car’s motor based on the current angular position… too bad people decided to replace this one.

That seems to have changed recently.

the failed ones have not been able to compete or pass their genes on

Well, that’s feedback.

That the feedback mechanism that makes the process work. What is hard to understand is that it “informs” a population, not any individual.

Yep, gets genocided by the people Magneto made popular.

He has, and he has 4 feet.

You’d get a ticket for honking at somebody driving slowly on the wrong lane in my city.

That’s not a good use of the device.

How does mining for Uranium compare to mining of materials needed for solar and for battery cells, targeting the same energy output?

Depending on what kind of battery you want. For top of the line stuff, uranium is way worse.

But still, neither one is damaging enough to deserve focusing on solving it. Most of the mining is for other things.

Other than the ten thousand years of historical proof of space wizards doing cool shit with physical records

Well, there are people that believe the Earth is flat…

Going by history, in 20 to 60 years.

Thankfully, the nuclear pushers have mostly shut-up nowadays. Because the thing can’t compete with renewables and probably can’t be built before we almost run out of fossil fuels. It’s a very expensive distraction.

(Oh also, it can’t feed a grid without batteries or some dispatchable backup.)

But well, if somebody wants to invest their money in it, I’d say go for it!

Europa gets a pass because of all the ice holding it.

We can thank them for providing quality assurance.

I really getting with “oh, you believe gasoline can power cars?!?” next time I meed a true believer.

I do agree, the pacing is very bad.

Personally, I have to start giving-up earlier on those series where the first couple of episodes don’t go anywhere. But I always keep hoping it improves.

In most of the world, no, it would be the balloon police. Even if normal cops could handle it.

Also, the balloon police has much more impressive weapons.

They are trained accountants?

Ouch. If you ever catches yourself writing something like this, stop. Intermediate values deserve names too. Even Haskell developers wouldn’t go into such extreme namelessness.

The goal of a system is what it does. That’s true for communities too.

Lemmy isn’t much of a link aggregator. It’s more more a discussion platform. But it’s open for specializing some part of it, what is really great.
