My response was that this is becoming a global problem, and all the smug “I’ve been saying it for 30 years” bullshit is just dumb. Perhaps with all that precognition they should have retired by now with their foreknowledge of the global markets.
Chances are that whatever country you are from also has an alt-right problem. Seeing the .ca instance, if you are from Canada, you weren’t far from electing your own lite version of Trump. Thankfully our mistake amplified so much bullshit that the Canadian’s didn’t repeat what we did.
I mean, sure, if it’s being used in ways like that. Using it as a therapist or as a replacement for human contact, yeah, I can see what you mean, but I’m not sure I’d go as far as to call it demonic.
Holy shit, I know Lemmy is rabidly anti-AI, but what hot take is this? Do you have the same thoughts on video games? What about movie and TV?
Is AI hyped to he’ll? Absolutely. Is it going away? Absolutely not.
This whole anti-AI attitude reminds me of all those physical server and data center admins lamenting about how dumb the cloud is and how it’s all hype.
It’s just the way microwaves are programmed. Same reason 99 cooks longer than 100. It interprets a 100, 200, etc as minutes. I think most microwaves handle anything over 100 as minute + seconds, treating it like it had a : in there.
The Family Guy skit about this is one of my favorites.
Ok tankie. Let me take over your house and if you don’t like me, you can leave.
What a clown.
And China only cares about Taiwan for the land and the image it projects of “reunifying China”. They don’t care about the people in Taiwan since a vast majority don’t want to be invaded by China.
Look at how well the Hong Kong “reunification” went.
Except YoY California comes up with new ways to screw solar panel owners and funnel more money to the power companies. It’s movie studio levels of accounting looking through bills and all the non-bypass’s law charges.
What are you talking about?

Yeah that tracks. No, support for Taiwanese unification with China is not gaining support. Look at the posturing China is doing with its military. Look at the steps Japan is starting to take to prepare for this possibility.
Don’t look at the front lines. Look at the Russian economy. It’s more likely that the Russian economy collapses or Putin is overthrown due to some internal power struggles or uprising than it is for Ukraine to militarily defeat Russia.
That is as long as the West continues to support Ukraine with the bare minimum to bleed both sides continuously.
Keep typing or the Kremlin may pull you from your desk job and send you to the front lines. 🌻🌻🌻
I swear every single Plex related thread has the same Jellyfin fanatics coming in. Same energy as “my MIL has trouble with her computer” “just install Linux bro!” comments.
Oh the poomanity!
It’s also to reduce Russia’s influence in South America.
Unfortunately, this is just a stark lesson for any other country out there. Do not give up your nuclear weapons no matter what “guarantees” you get.
Bonus points for the em dash!
I’m waiting for an LLM integrated Lemmy app that will let me click a button like “OP is wrong, write me a reply telling them so”

And yet Chinese made defense systems have utterly failed in Pakistan and Iran. Any conflict involving Japan and China would pull the US in on the side of Japan. Redo those numbers and good luck with that.
Well, they said they work in IT, not that they’re any good at it. If they were, they’d be ok implementing technology in their lives since the whole reason to do so is to improve your life. Risk vs reward.
Even cloud based services are ok depending on use case and what controls you can put in place.
