Yes, our time system is weird

Humans are both uniquely good at getting things done in groups, but also make terrible decisions as groups.

What books are they? It’s possible you could find them on one of the sites linked on fmhy.net

That may be true. But that’s also just an appeal to authority. What’s more relevant is that they’re unethical. What if international law said they were ok, would you also think they’re ok?

They’re making it legal. But law != morality.

At least 16 is age of consent :p

Doesn’t he also objectify women?

Indiana Jones actually claims to be an archeologist, he would be a better target.

Do you mean ðe? Thorn is pronounced like the th in thing, not the th in the

It’s raining. It’s cold outside. It is the case.

Within 200 years it’s likely either the world will be turned into paperclips, or AI will be powerful and aligned enough that it can do everything we want it to. It will initially be in the hands of the rich, but once 80% of people are unemployed and starving, there’ll be a revolution to put the AIs in the hands and service of the people and we’ll have a post scarcity socialist utopia.

Wither way suffering is reduced (you can’t suffer if you’re a paperclip), so I’m optimistic.

I would also recommend the chatbot HuggingChat, it uses open weights models

I don’t think it would be an unpopular opinion to say that I also like that song!

This is orphan crushing machine material, not uplifting news.

Just because Merlu is misguided doesn’t mean you’re right for making personal attacks.

This is not uplifting. I remember what it was like being a child having my agency taken away, my access to information, contact, entertainment, etc. It’s one thing to ban their use in class, another to take away people’s property and connection to the outside world. Especially if you go to an abusive school.

Emphasis on the ‘if you’re in a warm climate’ part. But it’s true, our society has a stigma against nudity even in circumstances where clothes aren’t necessary.

Glad you clarified that now, as it wasn’t evident in your original comment - that just said ‘metropolitan areas’, which would generally be understood to mean all metropolitan areas.

I mean, the holocaust definitely happened, was horrific, and people who deny it either deny history happened at all of are conspiracy theorists, but I don’t like the precedent set by the government specifying what opinions are allowed to have - it doesn’t sound like something we should be celebrating, and anyway, banning opinions just drives them underground, if you want to regulate people’s thoughts you have to legalise them.
