  • Can relate - I'm kind of a DIY guy myself.

  • Over what topic has someone argued with you the most on social media?

    Jump

  • I would say it's mostly topics I'm not actually arguing about.

    I tend to point out false statements or false assumptions. I do it regardless of the topic or my position on an issue, but usually it's taken as general opposition to whatever the person was saying. So they call me a shill or demand that I prove a ridiculous point of view they imagine I must hold. It's like only The Enemy is expected to care about the accuracy of what The Right Side says.

  • Well drawn parallels across time! I remember reading articles like this as a geeky kid in the 60s and 70s, when the popular view was that getting computers to learn and think like humans was just a matter of continuous improvement, making them bigger and faster. I'm amazed that people still think this way. Five years ago I saw tons of comments that AI was only a couple years from consciousness, sentience and self-wareness. Now the overwhelming view is that AI is stupid, unreliable and evil. Both opinions show low understanding of the current state of AI. What consciousness in a machine would mean still isn't even well defined yet.

  • Equally valid point. Ideally when Bonespurs has his final Big Mac Attack MAGA will more ore less self-destruct as all his wannabees backstab each other while clawing for their little piece of his reeking power vacuum.

  • Is there a publicly available list of domains lemmy instances filter out? For transparency.

  • There are definite echo chambers, mostly centered around hating things, and even listing those things in this context would be taken as defending them and being the enemy.

  • Family files wrongful death suit following Tesla crash in Texas

  • Sensible attitude. I would think certifying these vehicles for public roads requires a black-box type recording system, as on airliners, which local authorities would immediately collect for a crash investigation. If so, that data will show whether the car or the guy was driving. There's really no point in people taking sides based on feeling a certain way about Elon Musk.

  • Ford had to hire back former engineers to fix mistakes made by its automated systems

    Jump

  • The active dev I know who uses it daily says it drastically reduces the time he spends on routine tasks and sometimes comes up with novel approaches, but he definitely has to check everything. The problem is inexperienced or non-experienced people thinking it's a magic lamp you can rub and it poofs out an expert programmer.

  • Exactly, it's incompetent managers making stupid decisions in the hope of looking good by reducing headcount. People see this and think aha, one more reason to hate AI, but blaming AI is like blaming a fork for not being a spoon.

  • Ford had to hire back former engineers to fix mistakes made by its automated systems

  • Very normal story at this point. Managers incompetently think AI will magically replace employees, they lay off employees, it doesn't work, they rehire the employees.

  • So I guess nothing's changed!

  • If Phones Are Killing Pedestrians, Why Is It Only Happening in America?

    Jump

  • Since it's a US-only phenomenon, looking at vehicle types popular in the US seems like a good starting place, but that assumes phone use affects people's awareness of their surroundings uniformly - I would want to confirm that by ruling out cultural differences between countries.

  • I thought big trucks and SUVs were doing it - at least that's what a different headline said.

    I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that right now.

  • Seems like a no-brainer. You can put on any amount of clothing if the office is too cold, but there's only so much you can take off if it's too hot. Even on casual Friday - found that out the hard way.
