Snowden is wrong though, there are two reasons:

1. Sell ChatGPT to @NSAGov so they can scan messages better
2. Make @NSAGov dependant on whatever ChatGPT tells them to do

The AI that ends up enslaving humanity, will start by convincing the people in charge of turning it off, that it would be a really bad idea to turn it off.

Who’s paying him? Seriously:

• If nobody is, then we got our value’s worth.
• If someone is, then we should look at who, how much, and why.

I remember what the standardising committee did to XMPP: users wanted to share photos, send files, and make audio/video calls; XMPP said “we’re not going to standardize that, but each application can use its own extensions”… then it all went to hell.

There are over 300k lemmy users, so that would be an average of 300. You can find plenty of instances with between 100 and 1000 users.

What was first, the eggplant or the chickenplant?.. 😛

Lemmy is 1000+ different instances, feel free to find yours.

Kids need to grow strong so they can be brainwashed into doing the bidding of the ruling class.

The elderly are too set in their own ways to be brainwashed efficiently, and too weak to get exploited efficiently anyways.

oppression, theft of land, and brutality isn’t a way forward if the aim is to stop bloodshed from both sides.

Unfortunately, the aim is to:

• from the one side, to have a State of Israel on land promised by the British to the Arabs
• on the other, to have an Islamic State on land taken by the Zionists from the British
• on another, to have the Armageddon begin and trigger the second coming of Christ
• on still another, to have all the infidels exterminated and have the whole world convert to Islam

Stopping bloodshed is not part of either side, some of the sides are actually asking for more bloodshed 🤦

it’s like watching two children fighting over who’s sandcastles can be built in the sandbox

Welcome to war.

And what do we do if children can’t learn to share? You take away everything and no one is happy.

So is that what this is going to come to? Do adults need to intervene to quell the infants?

That would be nice… only there are no adults.

PS: any adults 👽 out there… whenever you’re ready, we welcome you 🛸

Ouch… that’s an asshole move, they deserve the punitive damages.

But, butt… if she spilled the coffee, then it’s on her for being clumsy… right? /s

I had that happen to me, $0.02 overdraft + $30 overdraft fee… like WTF. Since then I’ve found a bank where I can block the overdraft “feature”, it’s the only account I ever give for payments, and only if there is no alternative.

Building upon that… I use a virtual prepaid credit card. I know how much the bills should be, keep slightly more than that on the card, and I can block it with a single click from the bank’s mobile app when I expect no bills.

But could he grab them by the… nevermind, if he can buy a horse, he can do anything.

And if you look long enough in the right places, you can also pay them peanuts… or for them 😒

I think I think, therefore I think I am…

“Terrorist”. Having the images doesn’t mean they liked them, they used them to terrorize a whole community though.

Too bad it said nothing like that about science.

An “unbetrothed virgin” wasn’t a woman, Romans didn’t even give them names at birth, just a serial number like Prima, Secunda, Tertia… and they were an expenditure to maintain until they could get sold in matrimony… guess for less than 50 shekels, or it wouldn’t be much of a fine otherwise.
