  • Police Bodycams Reveal Pattern of Deference to Meat Industry

    Jump

  • If there deference to the meat industry is what scares you over every other thing they show deference for, (like corruption, cowing to politicians and fascists, and qualified immunity) you're about to become MUCH more concerned over cops in the next couple years...

  • You would hope, but far too many people fail to even understand the shape of the hole in their knowledge, so they wouldn't even recognize what should go in that blank spot...

    Then you get billions of people believing there's a magical sky daddy that will take care of us no matter what, and those words about us being good stewards of the earth is totally just about like, not pooping on the road! Definitely not about wanton resource extraction and environmental exploitation and distruction...

    All those lessons about how to be a good ruler are just describing that sky daddy! They're definitely not direct and allegorical stories trying to teach what virtues to look for in leaders and which ones deserve to be dethroned... God is definitely real literally and not just allegory for leaders that are glorified, it's definitely not about humans treating other humans with respect, but about Sky Daddy playing with his toys!

  • TIL about the legend of the Oak Ridge Prophet. A man who was institutionalized after allegedly hearing voices that foretold the role Oak Ridge, TN would play in the Manhattan Project during WWII

  • Interesting that ONE of his predicitons sorta' came true, but the monument thing is CRAZY from modern people!

    Humans REALLY need to grow past glorifying paychopaths who happen to have ONE correct hallucination out of thousands.

    ... Y'know, everyone sucking off "AI" while it's still wrong a great number of times kinda makes sense, when you factor in how fucking stupid most people are...

  • Ya'll are just describing why religion always fails at it's purported task of making a better populace. When rituals and ceremony take over from the psudo-philosophy and self-reflection, you get BS pointless rules like these that then go on to harm all other aspects of the religion.

  • Not just investors. Capitalists in general. The stock market just makes it much easier for capitalists to pretend that profit at any expense is wise.

  • The universe does not render to nothing that which came from something.

    The very laws of physics dictate that 'you' do not disappear. Time is a human projection of our understanding and perspective. Our times of death are merely a location on a much grander tapestry that we are absolutely a part of. While we may not be infinite, we are real.

    It might make it worse, not being able to eat the pizza without tasting the water you're in and having to deal with removing and replacing your mouthpiece.

  • Why do you think they're all desperately pretending that LLMs are gen AI? They want to secure their revenue without having to care what the plebs do.

    and we both know governments both today and throughout history protect the rich and money over people...

    You're both right. You are in that their influence will wane, but they're right in that it won't be fast or pretty.

  • Trust me bro

    Jump

  • Does it if you know, though..?

    IMO, even involving location and private data in the digital ecosystem that includes a centralized LLM is a very unwise thing to do.

    We both know that LLMs can and will spit out ANYTHING in their training data regrdless of how many roadblocks are put up and protective instructions given.

    While they're not necessarily feeding outright personal info (of the general public, anyways) in to their LLMs' models, we should also both know how slovenly greedy these cunt corpos are. It'll only be a matter of time before they're feeding everything they clearly already have in.

    At that point, it won't just be creep factor, but a legitimate doxxing problem.

  • But what if it's just a copy of that relation R? Is it the same mind in a new body? Or a new body that's so utterly similar that it will merely continue on believing it's the same person?

    I don't like that philosophy, because it pretends the mind exists outside of the brain.

    Does the difference of the literally unobservable matter? Yes absolutely to the person stepping in to the machine! Sure, everyone else doesn't have to care, but the teleported person sure probably should care, so that philosophy does less than nothing for answering the question.

    He's basically saying, 'I don't care if you die if I cannot tell if the new guy is different.". Saying, "I don't care" is not an answer.

  • IMO, even the digitally sent person could be the original, depending on the philosophical concepts being applied (same ship of theseus style questions). If it's just the process of reading your atoms to that level of detail that makes you disappear, and the only information that is literally 'you' is being transferred over and reconstituted in a similarly one-way-by-function process, it's almost more of a phase shift to digital and back than a copy. Pretty much just side-stepping matter's inability to travel without acceleration.

    If the machine is basically 'digesting' the person only to send over the results for reproduction, though... that's definitely a copy. Pretty sure Trek describes their transporters as the latter? They're definitely killing a bunch of people in that show. ha Though to answer it with any kind of conclusive result, I'd think we'd need a technical description for how it works, and it cannot exist, so... lol

  • Y'know, the more I think about free will as a religous concept, the more I'm convinced it's supposed to be an allegory for how to treat others, like a more convoluted Golden Rule. The source was shifted to "God" simply to make the garbage people that don't normally care about others hesitate before they just ignore others' advice on how to treat people.

    The reasoning is pretty simple: Nobody can actually do anything they want because others will interfere. Individuals restrict others' freedom all the time. If you're restricting others freedoms, you're doing an even worse version of judging others. The Bible pretty clearly says to leave such critical stuff that idiots can screw up in God's hands, because idiots can and will screw it up.

    Same with free will. Peoples' freedom is, according to religous teachings, a gift from God. They describe such things as "from God" solely because idiots respect their flavor of Sky Daddy over other human beings.

    If it's actually a gift from God, then it makes little sense that humans can simply remove a gift an all-powerful diety bestows. So... either historic humans are insanely stupid and bad at logic ... or it's actually an allegory for not trying to control others so much.

  • Because most people conscously or subconcously expect better treatment towards pets than other fellow humans. It's like children. Unless you're an Israeli or conservative looking at a brown child, nobody stans child abusers.
