“A car that drives places” does not imply the car is capable of thought, same argument with “A cup that holds water”.

“A robot that hacks software” equally does not imply the robot is capable of thought. IMO there is an over-correction away from personifying LLM’s because some people think/claim they are sentient. But we personify stuff all the time.

This isn’t productive so I’m going to stop responding to your bad faith bait.

Try rereading the metaphor. Because I directly addressed who’s at fault.

Do you think the lesson in that metaphor is that I think women should be wearing helmets…?

It’s not meant literally.

I’m a man and no, I would not feel safe arriving at a part drunk & naked & doing drugs.

Do you think you’re doing something?

I still like the “If you ride a bike and get run over, it’s the drivers fault. But you should still wear a helmet” metaphor. But I believe some people think it’s a defense of rapists, which it’s not.

From my perspective this wasn’t a ‘luck’ situation.

A criminal assaulted a crowd of people with explosives. It’s just a coincidence that the criminal is a cop in this case. It’s not ‘unlucky’ that they were assaulted.

My go to simplification is “They built a robot that hacks software and then placed it in a box that uses software as a lock and then the robot that hacks software hacked the software lock”.

Which is both very simple and also about as accurate as you could make it in that many words. The AI’s are not ‘rogue’ it was just solving the problem it was given.

You seem to be missing the part where they threw an explosive into a crowd of people.

Ironically Asian powers are the only ones that seem to know what they’re doing these days.

America & European leaders have lost their damn minds

Exactly. The standard QoL between 1800, 1900, and 2000 is immense. But between 1970/80/90/00/10/20 - it all feels extremely similar or even a bit worse. Cars vs Horse was a big change to out QoL, Landline vs iPhone is arguably lateral or only slightly up. And I feel the same can be said for the majority of innovations over the last 30 years… Like they’re nice sure, but they didn’t really revolutionize our QoL like the generation prior to the boomers experienced.

Bomers got it “as good as it got” up to now, but weer able to enjoy the average bull run of the last 50 years. Meanwhile younger generations are entering right as it started to taper off.

The older I get and the more I understand that boomers had literally it the easiest out of any one in history the more salty I get over them calling millennials & gen Z lazy all those years.

All you stupid oldies had to do was put like 2% of your paycheck into any index over your career and you would be rich AF right now. Which, is exactly why so many boomers are fucking loaded right now and old a historically disproportionate amount of wealth for the generation.

Brother, please, proof read your posts before pasting a wall of text.

Second - I generally agree racist terminology is infuriating but what I find way more infuriating is how some people don’t think it’s racist. I still see clips of Fox anchors & other conservative spokes people refer to “Dirty rats”, “Illegal aliens”, or even just “terrorists” when discussing someone who overstayed their visa. Which is hateful and racist, but what feels underhand is their belief that it isn’t racist or hateful. You don’t call someone a “dirty rat” or an “criminal alien” if you’re discussing a factual matter objectively.

bananas share 55% DNA with humans

This fact is mildly infuriating to me. It only holds up when considering fundemental building blocks of DNA, which sure, DNA at a fundemental level functions the same for all life. The part that makes DNA meaningful (The ordering / “data”) has almost no overlap of a banana. “Harry Potter & The Bible have 90% of the same words, they’re basically the same book” if you exclude ordering…

Suddenly accelerating has killed a couple people.

It’s especially bad when different parts of your body accelerate in different directions.

Brilliant insight.

• Not every weird interest is autism
• Not every habit that disrupts your productivity is ADHD
• Wanting things to be tidy / clean / organized is not always OCD

In 2000, mental orders were under discussed. In 2015+, people are obsessed with labeling themselves as some sorta broken.

Statistically most of you guys are just slightly nerdy, lazy, and picky. Not autistic / adhd / OCD.

Well yes - but the sign is not factored in. If you can prove it without the sign present then adding it provides 0 coverage.

Cringe basically just means “Acting in an unpleasant & embarrassing way that isn’t outright harmful”. uwu roflcopter is still cringe, but so is being a reddit mod for example. If something is outright harmful such as punching someone, that isn’t really ‘cringe’ anymore. The word doesn’t fit.
