For those of you who want a simplified ELI5 on how AI works:

Pretend I'm going to write a sentence. Statistically, most sentences start with the word "I". What word typically follows "I"? Looking at Lemmy, I'll pick "use" since that gives me the most options. Now what word typically follows the word "use" but also follows the phrase "I use"? With some math, I see "Arch" is statistically popular so I'll add that to my sentence.

Scale this out for every combination of words and sentences and you suddenly have AI.

It's just math. All the way down.

I'm not in the autistic spectrum. They aren't equals and they are barely tools.

One of the last posts I read on Reddit was a student in a CompSci class where the professor put a pair of googly eyes on a pencil and said, "I'm Petie the Pencil! I'm not sentient but you think I am because I can say full sentences." The professor then snapped the pencil in half that made the students gasp.

The point was that humans anamorphize things that seem human, assigning them characteristics that make us bond to things that aren't real.

Which, honestly, is the better way to go. Treat your compute resources like cattle, not pets.

I loved the cat subreddits that were originally jailbait or otherwise banned and turned into cat subreddits.

Pocketpussy, wetpussy...they were amazing.

I don't think Lemmy would count as social media but that said, you can easily create a dummy account that just, for example, posts pictures of moths or beans or bread or whatever.

That sucks mate. I know we're all facing existential threats on a regular basis so depression and anxiety are high among the population.

But that doesn't mean you don't matter. You matter.

Glad you're getting the help you need!

Many red states have banned wearing masks at protests.

Unbelievable that there are some Americans in politics who wake up every day and consciously decide they want to put their foot on someone else's neck so that they can feel superior, even if it means they are worse off.

even if they were, the denial of due process is the most abhorrent part of this.

Giving ICE a large heaping benefit of doubt, every person who has been deported should have had their day in court.

This is rotten all the way down. The legislative branch has done fuck all. States governments haven't done shit to stop ICE. Judiciary hasn't held anyone into account.

We, the people, can't do anything except watch in horror because we're all scared shitless.

I hate questions like this. Because for conservatives, taking bribes isn't an exclusionary issue. They would vote for the literal Antichrist if it meant they could oppress someone.

Sure they might care that their particular conservative representative not take bribes but if that representative took bribes but was also racist, they are going to vote for them.
