  • That's a very old article about even older opinions, now totally outdated as shown by statements like;

    Almost five years on, Tesla still hasn't completed its autonomous road trip — no car company has even come close.

    You're using unsubstantiated statements from the start of development which is totally different to what you claimed before being asked for a source.

    Current development FSD has hit huge milestones which competitors have not.

  • Demonstrate what you mean because it really sounds like you're describing what you feel should be true to justify your emotions about the bad Twitter man.

    And to be clear, I mean link the documents you claim to have read and the parts of them you claim demonstrate this.

  • Lemmy seems to love copyright now and walled gardens, they also hate all the companies doing great things with open source ai, etc. Plus there's never any community projects or anything constructive ever been suggested let alone ran here.

    95% of the people here's political opinions are nothing but an aesthetic.

  • So your argument is that their stated aims were a lie and speeches claimed to be from notable figures in the movement were fabricated after the fact? Further that their violent actions should have been overlooked and if they had been there would be no corruption in the world today?

    Surely you can see how that argument is about as credible as flat earth?

    I don't understand why people think they can just rewrite history to suit their needs.

  • How did you debunk anything? You've made spurious allegations that don't even make sense but you didn't even make any arguments? The only thing you're arguing is that it's somehow wrong for me to have responded to your message because it was in the form of a post not a dm which in your mind means people shouldn't be allowed to demonstrate you're wrong or something.

  • One is for the person you sent it to to reply to, the other is open for anyone to reply to.

    Saying that me proving you wrong didn't count because you didn't address the post solely to me makes no sense. Defend your argument or accept I demonstrated you are wrong, this weird attempt at lawyerimg who's allowed to respond to your public posts is convincing no one.

  • Yeah I don't think anyone believed that for a while now, that was just what people trying to base their world view on the Bible wanted to be true... exodus didn't happen either and Egypt doesn't seem to have had many Jewish slaves.

  • Imagine coming all the way to a planet light years away and making them awe inspiring monuments just for them to say 'yeah that's easy we could do that, in fact we did! We made this!'

    Honestly though their fault for using their galaxy age tech to build something about as complex as your average bronze age civ...

    [Jesus people, this is a joke as made obvious by the punchline about them building to a bronze age level - you guys really need to work on reading comprehension, it's such an important life skill]

  • Yeah people really forget how recent an invention good rope is, It's not like they could just order a few hundred meters on ebay. Making all that rope would probably be more effort and expense than a lot of the stuff that people write of as too complex for them to have considered, like temporary canals or raise and drop sledding.

  • You're caught up in the argument and not paying attention to what the other person is saying.

    Think of it this way, that carving might be totally accurate snd still not represent the whole story. It doesn't even really show that many people, I've worked jobs where for a few days there are hundreds of people it's very impressive and the photos always end up somewhere. This could just be intended to capture one key stage or big event, if it could be combining lots of things into one image to show 'there was a huge workforce' it's not a lie or deception but it's also not the whole story.

    Brute force was part of how they did it but it certainly wasn't all of it, and most people who've never pulled a big rope don't really think about how hard it is - plus we take it for granted now but having rope that a hundred men can pull on is a feat of engineering in itself.

    We know they used boats to transport them most the way, we know they used complex pullies and levers to get them into position, we know they used work teams and various other methods but none of those really solve all the questions which is why it's such an interesting subject to think about.

    And yes I know people get silly and talk about aliens or magic acoustic whistles or whatever but that's not what the person you were talking to was doing, things like wet sand and forgotten infrastructure are realistic and logical ideas.

  • The read more button doesn't work for me but since they were removed during autopsy I guess they just got put into a container after being processed but not listed with the bits to be forwarded to the funeral home.

    The article says bin but I don't think they're talking about a trash bin, probably a lidded plastic container in the correct storage area.

  • Yeah, and people in general don't like theives - sure they're just stealing from the company you work for, they're just stealing someone else's bike, just stealing just stealing copper from a building sire, just stealing the play equipment in the park, just stealing an old ladies medication... it's natural people resist this sort of rot, it's almost hardwired into us.

  • I agree but the ai list isn't very good tbh, your reading of it is worse - if you're counting the thieves into 3 4 5 then excluding the staff is a weird choice.

    Assume this is a state run distribution center and people take more than they're allotted then sell them to people who now don't have access to them, are you going to say those people have more right to the foods than those working in the store? Of course not.

  • I agree we need ubi or something more dramatic but there's been various decent arguments for how things could work without it.

    The most popular is probably a continuation of what happened all through the rest of the industrial revolution. Like how the price of cloth fell when autolooms took peoples jobs, this caused demand to increase and created whole new industries - fashion, fashion blogging, etc, etc. It's easy to think that there's nothing new left but that's because new things are harder to imagine.

    There's also a lot of talk about a return to more localized business models, the falling cost of services resulting in smaller communities being able to be self sufficient. The same logic goes on a larger scale also, governments able to offer more complete services at much lower prices reduces the cost of living and avoids the privation and poverty which caused such unrest in previous eras of low employment. Higher standards of living and more opportunities to engage meaningfully with the world or enjoy distractions will result in less political urgency, especially as solutions roll out globally reducing pressures that cause migration, etc.

    The doomer model pushed by tabloids and drama merchants just hand waves away everything that doesn't satisfy their urge for bad news, they want us to imagine a world where hyper efficient robots have stolen everyone's jobs but it's 1925, we're suffering after a failed world war and there's no bread... it makes no sense.

    We can already see the effects of technology making life cheaper, even this international conversation would have been too expensive for me to participate in fifty years ago. Education resources are actually free now for all but the most obscure subjects, it's hard to think of anything you can't learn free. Entertainment also, creative tools, all sorts of things are available to everyone on the planet - anyone trying to pretend this isn't a huge thing simply isn't being serious.

    There's a lot of really complex stuff that goes Into models for how things will unfold and people talk about it all at great length, I feel a lot of people avoid these topics like antivax groups avoid learning about actual science because they don't want things to be complex, they want to feel special and you can only do that when you're certain of your opion because you actively avoided learning any confounding arguments.
