I don't necessarily dislike "AI" but I reserve the right to be derisive about inappropriate use, which seems to be pretty much every use.

Using AI to find pertoglyphs in Peru was cool. Reviewing medical scans is pretty great. Everything else is shit.

If it doesn't work then quick cheap and easy I'd pointless.

I'll make you dinner every night for free but one night a week it will make you ill. Maybe a little maybe a lot.

However you feel is not "wrong", and in this case pretty understandable.

Here in Australia I don't have a problem with the flag itself, but there seems to be a strong correlation with people putting flags on their cars and being racist assholes.

Yeah.

I'm sure that shopify is a shitty company, but this doesn't strike me as any more shitty than any other retailer.

I mean, you can't have your staff telling people to reduce the amount of plastic they buy.

That's only true in a general sense. Regardless a key component of "doing science" is to reproduce the results of others.

You raise a good point.

I'm much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don't seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it's just part of the show.

The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that "some" ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. I'll take blissful ignorance thanks.

So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.

Yeah this is me. It's been just perfect for many years now.

There's just no way I'm ever going to do this.

Honestly, I'd rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.

Naming things is complicated.

It's not really a case where some organisation has the authority to name something. Rather people just call something a name, and organisations adopt that name.

That's not how science & research works.

We test the things we think we know and publish our findings.

I don't really understand lemmy's derision for this opinion.

It's the obvious outcome. Luigi might be a hero but he's going to jail.

If only there were some way you could kind of refer viewers to the primary documentation for the project.

I'm sure that this seems obvious to you, but it's not clear to me... are you saying that human to human transmission isn't worth worrying about, even if the virus mutated to be more infectious between humans?

Having a quick read, it seems like infections in humans range from unnoticeable to very severe, so I guess it's going to be a question of the ratio between severe and mild cases, which is unknown level given that we would need a mutation before it became relevant.

Did I just answer my own question?

In any case, this threat to your dairy must be very stressful. Good luck!

It's not that it's uncommon, but slightly different for each project.

I collated library would be kinda cool.

That said, I don't know how much utility this project would have.

Settle down mate.

I didn't say defaced websites are going to take down the government.

My implication was that it would be more effective than ranting on social media.

that is what I would do

No you wouldn't.

It's not about money and humanity though.

It's about punishing "other" people.

Yeah. I've only spent a few moments skimming through the linked article but if you were part of a legitimate hacktivism group planning a significant operation why would you publish this statement ?

It's really just spooky hyperbole - as though written by an adolescent that want's to sound scary and powerful.

I would absolutely love to see hacktivists cause some chaos, and maybe even some real financial harm.

I'm not going to write off hacktivism so quickly.

Even if it's just a few defaced websites now and then, that's a whole lot more effective than any other sort of activism I've seen to date.

Historically authoritarians tend not to return control to democratic processes. That is to say, you become the threat you're trying to avoid.
