  • Trump has a better understanding of the Bible than Pope Leo, says conservative Christian pastor

    Jump

  • Trust me, a lot of these conservative Christians absolutely do believe in Jesus and absolutely do believe in God. And to be honest, I wish that people wouldn't try to call them something other than Christians. Because they are Christians. We don't need to preserve the sanctity of that term for only good moral upstanding people. It's just not fair or reasonable to say that only these really excellent people are real Christians and everyone else isn't really a Christian. All that does is reinforce the term as something that conveys goodness and morality. If 95% of the people out there who are calling themselves Christians and who go to Christian churches and who read Christian Bibles act in a certain way, then sorry, that's what Christians are, that's what Christianity is.

    Kevin O’Leary’s proposed 9GW "hyperscale" AI data center in Utah will consume double the state's entire electricity usage and generate the waste heat of 23 atom bombs a day.

  • Seems more foolproof to just ban killing people directly tbh

  • AI data centers face increasing complaints about inaudible but 'felt' infrasound — citizens complain high- and low-frequency sounds do not register on decibel meters but cause adverse health effects

  • I dislike hypocrisy as much as the next person. So I feel where you're coming from. At the same time, the wind turbines are generating power that everyone benefits from, whereas these things are consuming power for a product that very few people actually like or even want to exist. So I think its fair to say that maybe the noise is tolerable when you're getting something you actually want out of it. Also, wind farms are usually built further away from large population centers, whereas data centers are because it's cheaper to build them in areas with lots of people around. So the concern does seem a little more irrelevant to wind farming as a whole than data centers.

    Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

  • It was a philosophical question posed about a technical matter.

    Okay, succinctness aside, I get that you're trying to imply that the kind of person who still uses Chrome is basically asking to be mistreated (I think?) - but the author's point about climate impact depends on user count, not user personality.

    New ‘Jesus-centric’ Christian phone network will block pornography and LGBT content

    Jump

  • Yeah, unfortunately as hard as I try I can't see many good ways to protect kids from religious parents as fully as I'd like without too broad of a law. I think that protections specifically with respect to gender and sex could be implemented under the same sort of umbrella as other forms of child abuse though, at least.

  • It's tempting to shrug this off as not my business, but if this kind of entity becomes widespread enough, then you can get into situations where a future government, more radical than what we have today, could feasibly mandate people to use these types of networks

  • Painful Sideloading

    Jump

  • Nah cuckloading is perfect. The best way to make an insult like that not effectively belong to the sexists is just to use it in non-sexist contexts. The intrinsic meaning of cuck is perfect for this. Fuck the extrinsic meaning. We can change that.

  • Bernie Sanders: AI oligarchs do not want to just replace specific jobs, they want to replace the working class. We must fight back.

  • They will buy their products and services from each other. That can still form a working economy. It would function just like any slavery based economy of the past, just with more slaves than usual

  • South Africa withdraws AI policy after it was found written by AI

    Jump

  • "The draft rules also outlined plans for tax ⁠breaks, grants, and subsidies to encourage private-sector collaboration in building AI infrastructure in the country."

    This is proof that you do not need the Skynet-like AI to be intelligent, conscious, or even have genuine self-interest, in order for it to basically act in exactly the same way as if it did. The paper clip machine is here

    So the only thing AI was used for was to... Move a ruler to the top of an image? 🧐
