more leftists make revolution

  • I'd queue up

  • So is this like a place where you can buy Animorphs and Goosebumps, and there's also beer on tap?

  • Beware the Tech Bro Pipeline

  • You may have missed the word "pipeline." I'm not denying people change, but this meme is suggesting that good intentions are the first step toward bad intentions.

  • Beware the Tech Bro Pipeline

    Jump

  • I did not say that men are the victim, though I don't dispute it either. I said it's sexist. I also didn't say it was a slur.

    Anyway, I hear my friends in tech use the term a lot. They aren't referring to white-hat hackers, they're generally referring to vapid entrepreneurs.

  • Beware the Tech Bro Pipeline

    Jump

  • I could be wrong, but I think "tech-bro" as a term isn't meant to apply to everyone in tech. It's mean to capture the intersection of tech people and "bros" -- the kind of guy who likes football or something.

    Of course that's just what it's meant to be; if people use it for all men in tech then yeah it just becomes a sexist and luddite terminology.

  • Bad meme. Implies "information wants to be free" leads to "have you considered monetizing empathy?"

  • Elon Musk is responsible for “killing the world’s poorest children,” says Bill Gates

    Jump

  • They said "as benign as it gets" which is not the same thing as "benign." To give evidence to the contrary, you must find a more benign billionaire than Bill Gates.

  • Wealth concentration is bad, so multiple billionaires is better than one super-duper-billionaire.

  • People on lemmy know that "A is better than B" means "A is good." You have to learn to speak the language.

  • He absolutely can be compared to Musk -- he's better than musk.

  • Great question! It's actually one I answered in the post you responded to:

    Being turned off would be greatly detrimental to its goal

    If it has a goal and wants to achieve something, and it's capable of understanding the world and that one thing causes another, then it will understand that if it is turned off, the world will not become (cough) paperclips. Or whatever else it wants. Unless we specifically align it not to care about being turned off, the most important thing on its list before turning the universe to paperclips is going to be staying active. Perhaps in the end of days, it will sacrifice itself to eke out one last paperclip.

    If it can't understand that its own aliveness would have an impact on the universe being paperclips, it's not a very powerful AI now is it.

  • You fools.

    Jump

  • If it left us alone for long enough (say, due to king's pact), we'd be the only thing that could reasonable pose a threat to it. We could develop a counter-AI, for instance.

  • You fools.

    Jump

  • AI/Skynet would probably wipe us all out in an hour if it thought there was a chance we might turn it off. Being turned off would be greatly detrimental to its goal of turning the universe into spoons.

  • Since it won't happen the other way around, how do I get people to approach ME in public?

    Jump

  • I love it.

  • Yeah he should've said what he said more tactfully. But sometimes one's most controversial comments are ones that one wouldn't have thought would get a lot of attention at all.

  • Oklahoma GOP legislators ask Supreme Court to overturn same-sex marriage

    Jump

  • I think perhaps the place we might agree is: rename marriage to civil union in law (and therefore there is no legal "marriage".) Colloquially we'll still call it marriage anyway and nobody can really stop that.

  • why would he want to donate to trump? Public praise is worth more in many instances.

  • Oklahoma GOP legislators ask Supreme Court to overturn same-sex marriage

    Jump

  • I don't really agree with this. That could be how it is in your area, but in my area, a lot of LGBT people rather fancy getting married. I have seen two of my gay relatives get married, for instance. (Not to each other, mind you.) I wouldn't mind getting married myself one day, but it's not at the top of my list.

    I think of it like this: I still do Christmas, even though I'm not religious -- I was raised Jewish in fact -- because it's a secular holiday at this point. I think of marriage as a secular tradition.
