Yes. Almost no one smokes in Australia because of them

I can highly recommend symfonium as a front end for a jellyfin music library on android, it’s super clean and has tons of nice features.

Not all of us get downvotes, I see them pretty much daily…

This post left me very confused for a good 30 seconds, why would a bunch of car enthusiasts install solar panels? … Oh

Use smart tube

I know someone who religiously follows it, because he constantly discloses when he’s doing it (all the time). It’s very real

As someone who has absolutely no desire to ever own or drive a car, I’m getting my licence based purely on the off chance that I might need to anyway (but I’d probably just hire for a day).

I can’t spell, don’t blame me for relying on an ordinarily quite useful tool.

Effective altruism is just capitalism camoflauge, it’s also just really bad at being camoflauge

Yeah true, I guess if you can enforce that as a standard there’s already tons of research on swarming behaviour with drones to work with.

How about fast trains?

Please?

Aren’t other flying cars going to be the dynamic part of the environment? Is what I’m asking

Imagine having to work out self driving in 3D traffic though. I guess at least you won’t have pedestrians, mostly.

I don’t use it, but I know companies checkout my profile whenever I apply so I made my profile look really good, added a ton of skills and completed a bunch of the certification test things.

Up until recently when jobs in my industry dried up, I would get recruiters contacting me weekly at a minimum. I’ve never actually used it as a social media platform, and I don’t understand why people do tbh.

Stop lying, Saudia Arabia has no plans to reduce oil production.

Saudi Arabia is the third largest oil producer on the planet, though often they are second. So no, they’re CO2 production is not negligible, they just export it, and that’s worse IMO

Ah I understand.

I’m not talking about that either, and I’m not against automating jobs. I’m more talking about preventing unecessary harm, I don’t really want to say who I work for but our company will shutdown entire storefronts and just lie about why. The union works to ensure this sort of thing doesn’t happen unfairly, and that people have access to the legal support they need when it does, among other things.

The reality is that they aren’t working bullshit jobs, and we don’t automate everything they do. Even the things we do automate require their constant help to support, but the business doesn’t care and will just fire them because they see some vague report suggesting they can.

Creating jobs is much harder, of course, but there are things we can and should do to make sure transitioning people out of those jobs is as painless as possible. I’m honestly of the opinion that we shouldn’t have to have jobs to survive, and that pushing for good social support is a necessary part of increasing automation.

As a loosely related aside, even though my job doesn’t qualify for being bullshit, I definitely feel like I’m wasting my life doing it, but I have no other choice except dying.

Is it our responsibility to help people? I think it is if we’re helping to hurt them. While we can technically throw the blame up the corporate chain, I think we need to have personal responsibility for our actions, I understand that you, as I do, likely rely on your job to exist, but we can still push for the least harm possible.

If you advocate up said chain on behalf of others, then that is good too.

I’m aware of what this technology can do, I actively use some to help with my work. But I make sure it’s as ethical as it can be.

And AI art is not really all that useful. Just because you can automate art doesn’t mean it’s a waste. I think that’s a dreadfully bleak view.

Helping funding research is great and all, but maybe they should pay all the people they’re stealing from? Or at the very least get consent.

You just described the problem back to me, artists should get paid for creating, I don’t think being paid for something you love takes away from it, but that’s an opinion and I understand people have their own. I think that’s just an extension of the beauty of art (having our own opinions about it). Profit motives are the exact problem here, not a justification to make it worse.

If Adobe is doing that, then that’s awesome. If they’re making tools to replace artists, instead of tools to help them, significantly less awesome.

My problem is that lots of tools do exist that replace artists, and most do steal their training data. I would love for these things to change, maybe we’ll make it out okay, but we need to make noise.

Yep, then we have nothing to argue about. I’m an idealist, I’m just angry about the way these things are going instead of accepting them.
