A big gulp and a pack of cigarettes

What would everyone be leaving them for then?

Specifically his 1928 book Propaganda which basically created PR and modern advertising.

You knowing nothing about fishing is a perfect example. Would it be a good idea for you to set policy about fishing? No, there is too much nuance and complexity in managing existing sea life. Some fishing is good for a healthy ecosystem, too much fishing is bad. To manage the shared resource of the sea requires the input of fishing folks, conservationists, environmentalists, and anyone else with an interest. No one group or even small coalition should be allowed to control any aspect of commercial fishing. It must be decided collectively or not at all.

By force I mean anything that would compel action from someone with a threat of consequences. Changing the incentives is not force because you’re not imposing consequences, just making the prospect less appealing.

There is virtue in minding your own business. If it doesn’t effect you directly you don’t need an opinion on it and you certainly shouldn’t share it or expect anyone who is effected to care what you think. You’re a bad person if you support people who want to use force to control how other people live their lives. You’re evil if you would use force to control how someone else lives their life.

I prefer Lemmy. The community is way friendlier and there are 9000% fewer bots. Also I frequently deleted my reddit accounts for mental health reasons and on occasion in protest and rebuilding a reddit account to the point you can comment in most subs is so annoying. In like a year of using Lemmy on and off I’ve had more real conversations with real people than I did in thriteen years as a redditor.

The only time something would become unforgivable is if it were done with intentional malice or becomes a pattern of behavior. I’m willing to forgive quiet a bit, if the harm an action caused was not the intent. When it becomes the intent, such as physical violence or repeated trauma, that’s where I take a hard line and will not forgive. For less spectacular transgressions, repeat events are where things become unforgivable. I am willing to give grace on that more because I’m bad about not communicating to others how their actions hurt me, but if we’ve talked about how their behavior is a problem and they keep doing it? No sorry, we’re done.

“It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was,” Musk said in a statement provided by his lawyer Marc Toberoff to The Wall Street Journal. “We will make sure that happens.”

I’ll believe that when I see it.

Ordering things that aren’t on the menu, custom items, telling it to forget precious instructions. I very much confused it.

I went to taco bell the other day and they had an AI taking orders in the drive thru, but it seemed like they had the same number of workers.

They also weren’t happy I tried to mess with the ai.

That was my comment, I said everyone poops, lol

There are too many loop holes to the traffic lights. The jesus freaks would quote the bible about it and say, “The rain falls on the just and unjust alike.” Personally I’m a fan of “everybody poops.”

There are a lot of things that have to happen for us to go from the world we are in today, to a world where individuals need to avoid being critical of the state online or face reprisal.

Advice like this seems helpful, but regular citizens being punished (by the government) for what they say online is very unlikely. Instance owners and influencers sure, but not your average netizen.

Why not? Maybe our robot overlords would be more fun

Sounds good to me. I doubt our new machine overlords would let the iranians or russians do anything with their new toys, but either way I am totally okay with this outcome, if for no other reason than I want to see all the bigots suddenly dealing with their periods.

Depending on how many fingers are left I would make the following wishes:

1. I wish the entire world were governed by egalitarian justice.
2. I wish that anyone who would use violence against another living creature would instantly die of a heart attack instead.
3. I wish that every human has the resources they need to live the life they want for themselves.
4. I wish that all people understood the true nature of the reality in which they live.
5. I wish all trans people had been assigned the gender, or lack thereof, they identify with at birth.

Yeah, sometimes.

But, like Lemmy is (almost) entirely populated by people who so strongly disagreed with the political drama (either uspol or redditpol) of reddit that they took specific action about it.

It’s a wonder Lemmy isn’t all radical politics.

The same word I say first everyday: “shit.”

Honestly, I’ve read a lot of manifestos and writings of people without the firmest grasp on reality and they get kinda jumbled up. It might have been McKenna, it might have been the time cube guy (whose name I forget), it could have been a dmt trip report on erowid.

I think the elves must have been someone else. Ted’s manifesto was mostly about technology being the root of society’s problems.
