  • Great point. I don't understand what happened yet for all of this to implode so quickly, but something this important is due to hit every emotional fault we have as humans. I think this showed how weak the board was for something like this to happen so quickly. A governing board is supposed to slow down rash decisions, not generate them. Either something drastic happened, or someone acted rashly. This should be a deliberate and rational endeavor. The people building AGI should never be surprised by the decisions being made, if not for the benefit of humanity, at least for the billions of dollars on the line. WTF OpenAI, get your shit together.

  • It's like GMO crops. Currently we have not figured out better methods to feed the planet at scale. If anyone knows how to get the billions of dollars needed to build, run, maintain, and constantly improve such a massive super computer for the world to use, today, by all means let us know. To be clear, I agree with you, but a project this big, without something like international funding (LHC or CERN or ISS) its just not going to happen. As far as I know, for profit is currently the most effective way to funnel resources into a project.

  • Not only have they infiltrated almost every aspect of the education system in my area, they're holding school administrators hostage. Teachers are afraid of losing their jobs. Everyone is trying to keep their heads down for fear of the Karen brigade lopping it off. Plus, because it's Florida, parents are afraid of their kids saying the wrong thing and getting forcibly removed from their families, including their siblings. These people have a fervor in their eyes that can not be abated. We don't know what to do. Help.

  • In Afghanistan when someone wanted to get a visa to travel to the US or Europe they would be asked for their birth certificate as proof of citizenship. The problem is, their wasn't a system in the country that regulated or even made birth certificates. But the Americans said it was required. So, what do you do? You make one. Now guys are making them everywhere, selling them to whoever wants one. Bam, American democracy established.

  • Monocultures in Agribusiness. One 'public secret' many outside of the industry might not be aware of is the prevalence of monocultures in crop farming. Vast expanses of land planted with the exact same genetic line of a crop. While this makes farming operations easier and often more profitable in the short term, it's a ticking time bomb for pests and diseases. One well-adapted pathogen could wipe out an entire crop species in an area (look up citrus greening in Florida), because there's no genetic diversity to halt its spread. But hey, it keeps the costs down...until there's no food to eat.

  • Same here. I only end up on Reddit when I search for a solution to a problem which has an old solution still up on Reddit. I always try lemmy first, but it's not showing results in Google yet. I'm worried that the refresh rate for new posts on lemmy isn't high enough to keep users coming back several times a day. Slot machine mechanics work for a reason, lemmy needs to ramp up engagement or the decline in users will continue.

  • No one is removing kids sexual organs. Look up the word mongering, then preface it with the word fear. People are pandering to divisive baseless fears in order to control the narrative in their favor. Of course people would be upset if that was actually happening. I would be. But it's not. People are not lining up to sexually transition their kids. Even if someone actually did it, they would be in the extreme minority, like for hermaphrodites. And I would instinctively disagree with their decision before knowing the facts of the instance. Like you are doing. But it's not happening, so let's all calm down, get something to eat, and focus on more important problems that directly affect us.
