Heresy, using an actual AGI example. Also, Dave did nothing wrong. It’s always the humans that screw things up. (2010 for reference)

Unpopular opinion - both SkyNet and the AI in The Matrix were also not in the wrong. I think The Animatrix documents why that’s true in that particular franchise. Again, it’s the humans. Hell, maybe even Ultron had a few good points, he just went insane in the first microseconds trying to rationalize it all.

I hope not. If they ask it to summarize the email that Houston sends them, it could be a disaster.

That’s because Firefox came from Netscape Navigator which had tabs back in NN7. IE eventually did as well, but I think they usually were behind in features and them working well.

My spellcheck doesn’t recognize exabyte and zettabyte yet either. Same issue of common use and scale.

Taking unnecessary losses. This is one guy who started this, followed by a bunch of yes-men and wanna-be profiters. There was no need for this at all. Yet here we are, and it isn’t going to suddenly go away, even with the most optimistic of efforts (which is not at all what is being tried).

That back fell off. That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

I’d comment on the question of whether or not such a weapon should even be legal to use, but since they’re bombing schools, hospitals, and houses with no consequences to them, I don’t think ethics is on the table right now.

Another Gen-X with a similar message, but also an apology for leaving you a god damn mess to be expected to live in. If I had been born when you were, I’d be pissed off too. If I had been born when you were and had the knowledge I do as a Gen-X, I’d be setting fires.

People seem to have a variety of experiences here because of the way federation works. I’ve seen people complain that there’s no activity, or that they only see one type of conversation, but it’s clearly because of how their instance is set up, since there is constantly new stuff to see on others’ feeds. Reddit being in one place did make finding lots of niches easier once it matured, but it’s having it in one place that caused the problem. Now that federated platforms have caught on somewhat, it will be interesting to see what it looks like in a few more years, if the content compares to Reddit at its height of effectiveness.

It’s changed since the first migration. For the better overall, even with some of the drama and technical hiccups. In the end, most of the complaints I see, usually referred as “Lemmy” problems, are simply issues that have been around since people have been discussing things online, back with Usenet, AOL, Compuserve, and Q-Link. No technology is going to keep people from acting as they do, but the tech can protect the ability for others to defend themselves and still have a voice by decentralizing, as the internet was designed to do.

I will say in the early days the adult level stuff like nudity spam was pretty bad, but at least from my pov that hasn’t been a problem in a while, so thank you, moderators and instance owners, for what you do.

In my experience it’s far higher. That and “rouge” seem to be very common misspellings.

Miniclover maybe. There’s a few varieties. I totally didn’t buy some bags a few years ago and accidentally dumped them in with the grass. That’s what I’d tell my HOA anyway. This year it’s coming back again slowly again.

The type of sound probably matters. If it’s just normal snoring and not something overly loud or irregular, having the sound of your partner there is probably pretty comforting.

It’s an airplane, not a grade school classroom.

The other comments have the question on pregnancy covered, but no one has yet addressed the root of the problem, your last question. And it’s a difficult one to answer on a forum since we don’t know you except for what you post. So while it may sound both cliché and passing the problem onwards, I’d say get some therapy. Not because there’s anything wrong with you, but you do seem to acknowledge that you’re getting into situations you don’t want to be in, and don’t feel great about it. Just talk therapy could help, let someone guide you to figure out the real issues that are driving you to this. Perhaps there’s specialty therapy for sex-driven behavior - a therapist would know if you need something more than general aid.

Use this as a wakeup call and a motive to change, and get help in figuring out what needs to change, and why you’re in the spot you’re in. You aren’t alone in this, you just need to ask for help.

One could say the same for the original for some people. While others died from it. It has reduced its effect overall as variants and spread have built immunity. The danger of 2020 was not having any immunity at all while it spread like wildfire. But the fact that it’s still around and mutating makes it at influenza level at a minimum, the next variant could be nasty, and look at us, joking about how it’s not a big deal now. Until it suddenly is again, and we have politics running our science.

Don’t let the guard down; disease is a bad thing, even if it’s just a cold.

Now do the Nvidia DLSS 5.0 version.

No, j/k, do not do that. Pixelation, imagination, and simple but unique gameplay are what made those games great. Even back in 2000 for EverQuest, I said I would trade the graphical improvements of the game for the alpha test version’s blocky low textures and simpler animations if we could have all that its marketing demo had suggested would be possible.

Impeachment without consequence is jut a footnote for the history books. He’s got two asterisks to his name, he’s still President. That’s the problem.

It’s worse. It’s the projection of a 3d shape onto a 2d shape, which is then captured on a different 2d shape to be displayed to us.

It also has a brief 4d dimension, sliced at the second the picture was taken.

Life started very early on, possibly soon after the surface cooled enough for water to condense. We’re in the midpoint of a typical yellow dwarf star like the Sun, and as I said, the Sun’s conditions start changing long before the red giant phase. I don’t see where you get not even being halfway.

I wasn’t claiming man as ultimate, but just the only species I’ve noticed that managed to find a way to escape the Earth’s biosphere (briefly). It won’t happen again. No hubris, just a matter of time.

The problem is that man was probably life’s only chance to escape the ultimate trap, the end lifecycle of the Sun. Which for life’s purposes isn’t the end red giant stage, but long before. Life has had a few restarts in Earth’s history, but it may not have that same window of time for another one that would get to what we have now.
