  • Huge internet outage live blog: Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max and more experiencing issues

  • As someone who works in tech I occasionally point out to people that if Jeff Bezos decided to go full supervillain he could hold the internet hostage. If you disabled AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud individually the cascading failures on the various systems would take weeks to fix, which we might not have with a supply chain collapse. Genuinely, I think there's a real chance it could trigger the collapse of human civilization

  • Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits

    Jump

  • I was really confused why this was news because I remembered trying mad max mode. It's fucking batshit how aggressively it merges on that mode. I turned it off immediately. Although the speeding thing isn't new, all the autopilot modes will let you set the speed to 15 over or more by default

    Do some actors or actresses date "normal" people?

  • I'm going to be honest, I didn't even read it. I just clicked the first link that confirmed what I already knew

  • Very few cheese sauces incorporate egg for a good reason. That assumes you give the poster the benefit of the doubt that they're using real ingredients. Based off the pictures it's more likely bagged pre-shredded cheese and jarred mayo which probably congreals into an emulsified hunk. Plus the amount of oil here will make you shit your pants

  • What's a popular opinion on Lemmy that's unpopular in the real world?

    Jump

  • Lots of things theoretically exist: a reasonable terms and conditions, a functioning DMV, a unified charging standard, etc. I'm going to focus my energy on things that are real and not hope someone decides to be morally upstanding. If you're arguing that the bullshit machine that spreads lies that actively harm people could become so ubiquitous that it fits in any electronic device if we just keep giving it money, then I'd say you're making my argument for me

  • What's a popular opinion on Lemmy that's unpopular in the real world?

    Jump

  • Would it? I run a science fiction book club and there're a lot of arguments that if something achieved human level intelligence that it would immediately try to kill us, not become our perfect servants

  • Ah, but you see, I never claimed AI isn't useful. In fact, you can check my comment history. I've agreed AI is a very useful tool, I still think it shouldn't be used for ethical, social, and personal reasons

    A problem with nuance is that people want to discuss the specifics and nuances of what they care about but for the most part won't do that on subjects for other people. So you need to tailor your responses to your audience. FWIW on Lemmy I see a lot more instances of people with specificly opposed takes where both sides have similar vote counts. So while it's not perfect it's better than most

  • AI is untrustworthy and shouldn't be used

    I have management talking about copilot usage rates and I hear people casually refer to "what ChatGPT told them" in conversation

    Why do people need Rump to be fascist?

    Jump

  • This comment section:

    I've been using lemmy for 2 years, I know our demographic has been on the internet so long. You know better than this. Why do you guys take the obvious bait? He was doing the same shit in /c/politicalmemes

  • I'm disappointed

    Jump

  • Still more lifelike than bangin yo mamma!

  • We don’t memorize phone numbers anymore, we rely on GPS to tell us where to go and Facebook reminds us of birthdays. What else will we stop remembering once AI remembers everything for us?

    Jump

  • As someone with a math degree it frustrates me that people always say "but when will I use this in the real world?" Whether or not you need that math in the real world the real value in learning math is learning how to approach problems in an organized, specific, and detail oriented process. The process of learning formal logic and following through to the end is a very important skill for people to have. Instead, it's all about "how do I get to the answer?" There's a reason why 75% of your score in higher level math is your work and not your answer. The work is what matters

  • Microsoft’s Windows XP Crocs are no joke

  • Is Dune derivative?

    Jump

  • I still reference this Penny Arcade strip 15 years later:

    I mostly agree with the sentiment, people say something is derivative when they dislike it and it's an homage or a reference when they do

  • Trump has declared war on the transgender community, leaving Americans to seek asylum — from America

    Jump

  • America is so hung up on people seeking asylum here that I think they wanted to emphasize that people are seeking asylum from America and not in America before people glossed over the story
