I wish more people were like you. Not everyone can keep up with everyone’s beefs (this one not so much) but it really grinds my gears when I see seemingly polite, on topic, engaging or contributing comments with no replies but still geyting down voted. Especially on a forum as thirsty as Lemmy users are for more user involvement.

It makes me think there are too many people in the world conditioned to be preset to hate thst the fact a person doesn’t know they’re supposed to hate something is enough grounds to be shunned and hated on. Lol. It’s cool to see someone jump in and say:Hey homie, we don’t hate you we hate a person who is unrelated to the topic of the thread or the context of your comment but we do hate them enough to hate on you

Edit: the parenthesis comment was meant to imply hating Trump monkeys is glaringly obvious. My comment was about lemmy etiquette and wasn’t about why or why not OP was getting downvoted.

What do you mean by not resolving? It isn’t working for you?

Everyone has drug cartels. The US doesn’t even make thr top 20 tho.

No shit. Yeah you’re prolly right then.

Yeah but you really can’t dox people even if it seems like the moral thing to do. It wasn’t any decision made outside the company, it was made by reddit because it was walking a fine line with their policies.

I’m going entirely off theory but there is a likely chance the people who got hired to be a minion had no idea the parameters of the job. I’ve gone thru the government job listings and they will tell you only so much about the position. What is required to qualify for the job, what tasks will be done in the job but beyond that, they aren’t going to tell you what the grand scheme of the position is. So to me, if any of that is true, then they are trying to post the identities of people who may be appalled by what their job is but don’t have the means to step down without having other income already lined up.

I’m not saying anything about what musk is doing is right. I’m just saying, there should be action taken to prevent the identities of people being posted on the internet for all to see.

Dont forget, reddit has literally falsely identifyied an innocent man who committed suicide as being the Boston bomber. Creating an absolute hell for the grieving family who thought their son was missing only to find out he committed suicide before the boston bombing happened. They only found out from the reddit manhunt to dox an innocent person.

In life? Amphetamines.

I dont get it. What’s so infuriating about the words, “Beatles Cinematic Universe?”

This take is dumb af lol. NO MORE PROPIETARY SOFTWARE WITH THE WORD OPEN IN IT! Thanks for the laugh.

I don’t get what ypur complaint is? At least it is talking about an event that hasn’t happened yet correctly, but what else would you want from it for you to say, “DDG’s AI Assist seems to answer correctly.”

If you are close enough to it for the name to have any relevant reference, you’re just guna say Gulf anyway.

I would add, learn to format comments so they don’t print as blocks of barely readable text and don’t use line seperators like dashes if your text has dashes in it because it makes it harder to read when it prints out as a block of text.

And sports. Sports alone is enough to drive Twitter.

Isn’t this article obsolete since the Biden Admin said they weren’t going to intervene because it’s too close to the change of administration and that this is going to fall on the incoming administration to handle the TikTok sitch? I’ll try and find the article I read to edit this comment with the source.

Lol missed it skimming 4 short paragraphs?🤣 The Cat in the Hat has more fuckin words than this article so don’t be a douche and just say you didn’t even open the article.

“It’s a good thing having it in the thread, so thanks for doing the work.” douchiest comment of the year so far!🥇🏆🏅

Right?! I get the whole fuck Elon circle jerk. Dudes an idiot. But with that being said, I am still fascinated by starlink, spaceX, neuralink and Tesla. I dont have a lick of social media beyond this lemmy account (and obviously my [email protected] account or whatever the user tag is), I also do not have cable to be exposed to cable news or main stream media takes. So my fascination is entirely driven by these types of articles that make a mention of musk but the focus is on the advancements being made and while Elon will be in history books for each of these leaps in technology, I still remain fascinated because the advancements are being made by very qualified, very intelligent individuals. As well as the impact these projects have on our everyday life.

Not sure if you are being sincere or sarcastic but you hit the nail on the head either way. It’s predominantly for paralyzed and disabled people to be able to have mobility. It was a short article but it did cover the two studies:

“The Prime Study, designed for an estimated five patients, allows paralyzed patients to control external devices such as computers or smartphones with their minds. A second study, Convoy, is designed for three patients, and allows them to control devices such as assistive robotic arms.”

I mean you could just read an article if you’re guna ask questions like that lol. They have 2 studies open with the FDA:

“The Prime Study, designed for an estimated five patients, allows paralyzed patients to control external devices such as computers or smartphones with their minds. A second study, Convoy, is designed for three patients, and allows them to control devices such as assistive robotic arms.”

For fucking reals. Sign me up to get scanned while taking every drug imaginable!!! I would love to see for example why cocaine for me with my adhd has like none of the affects that other people have. My buddy rips a line “IM ON TOP OF THE WPRLD” I rip a line “fuck I should prolly do my taxes”

So by your logic a child locked in a room with no understanding of language is not capable of thought? All of your reasoning for why a computers aren’t generating thoughts are actual psychological case studies tought in the abnormal psychology course I took in high school back in 2005. You don’t even have to go that far into the abnormal portion of it either. I’ve never sat with my buddies daughter’s “classes” but she is 4 years old now and on the autism spectrum. She is doing wonderfully since she started with this special Ed preschool program she’s in but at 4 years old she still cannot speak and she is still in diapers. Not saying this to say she’s really bad or far on the spectrum, I’m using this example because it’s exactly what you are out lining. She isn’t a dumb kid by any means. She’s 100x’s more athletic and coordinated than any other kid I’ve seen her age. What he was told and once he told me I noticed it immediately, which was that with autistic babies, they don’t have the ability to mimic what other humans around them are doing. I’m talking not even the littlest thing like learning how to smile or laugh by seeing a parent smiling at them. It was so tough on my dude watching him work like it meant life or death trying to get his daughter to wave back when she was a baby cuz it was the first test they told him they would do to try and diagnose why his daughter wasn’t developing like other kids.

Fuck my bad I went full tails pin tangent there but what I mean to say is, who are we to determine what defines a generated independent thought when the industry of doctors, educators and philosophers haven’t done all that much understanding our own cognizant existence past "I think, Therefore I am.

People like my buddy’s daughter could go their entire life as a burden of the state incapable of caring for themself and some will never learn to talk well enough to give any insight to the thoughts being processed behind their curtains. So why is the argument always pointing toward the need for language to prove thought and existence?

Like is said in NY other comment. Not trying to prove or argue any specific point. This shit is just wildly interesting to me. I worked in a low income nursing home for years where they catered to residents who were considered burdens of the state after NY closed the doors on psychological institutions everywhere, which pushed anyone under 45y/o to the streets and anyone over 45 into nursing homes. So there were so many, excuse the crash term but it’s what they were, brain dead former drug addics or brain dead alzheimer residents. All of whom spent thw last decades of their life mumbling, incoherent, and staring off into space with noone home. We’re they still humans cababl3 of generative intelligence cua every 12 days they’d reach the hand up and scratch their nose?

I’m super stoked now to follow this and to also follow the progress being made mapping the neurological pathways of the human brain. Wanna say i saw an article on lemmy recently where the mapped the entire network of neurons in either an insect or a mouse, I can’t remember. So I’m guna assume like 3-5 years until we can map out human brains and know exactly what is firing off which brain cells as someone is doing puzzles in real time.

I think it would be so crazy cool if we get to a pint where the understanding of our cognitive processes is so detailed that scientists are left with nothing but faith as their only way of defining the difference between a computer processing information and a person. Obviously the subsequent dark ages that follow will suck after all people of science snap and revert into becoming idiot priests. But that’s a risk I’m willing to take. 🤣🤣🍻
