And it also doesn’t make sense.

Under the Far Right government in Finland, homelessness increased.

Now, maybe Finland can get back to having real public options available for housing without asking if anyone ‘deserves’ to have a roof over their heads.

The Far Right, no matter the country, always succeed in turning everything good about civilization into shit exclusively for themselves. If we ever have another national election in the United States, I don’t think the Far Right fascists will be able to win anything.

(and that, admittedly, is an incredibly hopeful view)

Thank you Germany.

This fucking orange fascist needs to get got.

Fuck no.

Fuck all these motherfuckers.

Fuck, looks like it’s time to start looking at more alternatives to Android phones.

Already got an old one rooted. We need a solid Linux alternative or potentially a European company to start development.

If any of y’all know of a good, usable platform, I’d love to know about it.

What a weird article.

Most of the identification of things like ‘horses’ falls in line with the identification of things like ‘crosswalks’ and ‘motorcycles’–in other words, the majority of the words associated with particular images in Google maps comes from people like us filling out Captcha, not from AI.

lol

I think the fact someone would need to explain this to you makes it pointless to try and explain it to you. I can’t tell whether you’re honestly asking a question or just searching for a debate to attempt to justify your viewpoint.

The consumer-side AI that a handful of multi-billion-dollar companies keep peddling to us is just a way for them to attempt to justify AI to us. Otherwise, it consumes MASSIVE amounts of our energy capacities and is primarily being used in ways that harm us.

And, of course, there’s nothing they direct at us that isn’t ultimately (and solely) for their benefit–our every use of their AI helps train their models, and eventually it will simply be groups of billionaires competing against one another to form the most powerful model that allows them to dominate us and their competitors.

As long as this technology remains determined by those whose entire existence is organized around domination, it will be a sum harm to all of us. We’d have to free it from their grips to make it meaningful in our daily lives.
