One point I'd like to add is that trans identity can become an existential threat to a lot of people, in the philosophical sense of existentialism vs essentialism. If you base your entire life, identity and values off a single idea, then questioning that idea brings into question your entire existence. If you think your a man because you have a penis and that your hetero because your attracted to Afab women then the idea that a women can have a penis brings into question both of those identities and all the decisions in your life you made off those identities.

If you aren't secure in your sexual and gender identity these sort of questions can be very uncomfortable as doubt would lead to you doubting and regretting every decision you've made in your life leading to an existential crisis. So instead of facing this existential dread people will run from these questions and attack anything that may raise them to preserve their identity and ego.

Man the ai hate is so strong on lemmy they can't even admit when it's good at something. Though I'm guessing a lot of these people's experience with getting recipes from it is memes of bad hallucinations and not actually trying it looking at all the "glue on pizza" takes.

I'll back you up though, have gotten a lot of good recipes from chatgpt, even for baking which doesn't have a lot of room for error.

If only we had some sort of deal with Iran to monitor there nuclear program and make sure they can't make a nuke in exchange for sanctions relief or something...

I guess it's more important to curb single use plastics there cause they can't ship it off to the third world like in the u.s.

I learned about it because Richard stallman gave a speech at my campus (pre-controversy) and half his speech was the gnu copy pasta unironically. Which I get, if i made core software that most of the world's server runs on, I wouldn't shut up about it either.

Nah, we already got el salvador for that. They're gonna need to open up to all the Palestinians "voluntarily leaving" gaza after netanyahu and co make it uninhabitable.

They can do limited equity programs to mitigate this and other speculation. Ie. When you buy the house you agree to sell it at the inflation adjusted price you bought it at, maybe with a percent or two of appreciation as well.

San francisco has around 50,000 vacant residencies and around 8,000 unhoused people. There is supply in these "desirable" locations, it's just that under the logic of capitalism this supply isn't made available to those who need it.

A heads up is not gonna save them from their real killers, smallpox, unless you brought it with you and give them a couple centuries to recover population and gain immunity.

That'd be great if freedom of movement wasn't one of the first rights they take away to prevent something like this.

How is this argument different than the "video games cause violence" argument?

It keeps you on there site. Same reason Twitter banned links and has grok now, the longer you stay on the site the more likely you are to look at or even click on an ad on that site. If you google something, then quickly scroll past the first couple ad links and click on the first non ad link you are maybe only staying on Google for 1 or 2 seconds. If you get an "ai overview" at the top and start reading through that then you're maybe spending 10-30 seconds reading through that. That's another 10 seconds that the ad was displayed that Google can go to there ad customers and say people were looking at it longer.

Another reason more motivated by user experience is also that the AI has a better "understanding" of meaning compared to typical search algorithms. Say you search "Starbucks price at closing" when you meant "Starbucks stock price at time of market closing" an AI would be more able to discern that meaning as opposed to a traditional algorithm which may show you the closing time of the nearest Starbucks, or the price of one of there drinks etc.

That may be true for small or mid size startups that are reliant on VC money, but we're talking about Google and Microsoft here, they already have there money printers going and don't need VC money.

Nah that's New Orleans, and you would've known that if you studied your Lil Wayne.

So do you have to basically ai spam applications if you want a job now? Cause it seems like companies are using ai to filter out 99% of applications so there's no use into putting manual effort to adjust resumes and write cover letters if a human isn't going to read it.

Yeah, I'm staunchly for legalization of all "vices" but I'm not going to pretend that they're harmless and aren't valid reasons to want to get rid of them besides being a kill joy.

There were some in the first gulf war. People forget but iraq had the sixth largest airforce at the time and were able to shoot down a couple American planes before being overwhelmed and fleeing to Iran.

Don't they know, trump did CLEAN COAL , all the coal is clean because of CLEAN COAL and you can't get black lung from CLEAN COAL

Speaking for san francisco:

No

No

Yes, in March last year we passed a proposition exempting them from real estate transfer taxes

Yes, there's a vacancy tax, but there's a decent amount of exemptions so it only effects large multi unit buildings

No, but there aren't really any strip malls in the city
