Only people with learning disabilities will think that.

If a woman who was forced into it by a gang wants to join the FBI to take these people down to keep other girls and women from having the same fate, why would you deny her?

I almost believe it’s related. It sounds like the left are up in arms over AI not because of safety but because of money. If they would be more specific about safety, maybe people would listen.

I hear a lot about AI safety. What, precisely, is unsafe about AI that is unique to AI?

Just by the responses in this thread, I don’t think it’s approaching anywhere near 40%.

Yeah, they don’t even get great PR.

If enough people don’t believe in either party, real revolution becomes a possibility.

And most of us won’t live through that.

They exist because trashy disrespectful people exist.

I’ve heard of Mark Zuckerberg. I haven’t heard of Joan Donovan. Why the fuck does anyone care what some Joan Donovan has to say?

Ok, so this person has a wiki article and in it there was apparently some drama about how Joan believes she was fired from Harvard due to pressure from Meta, which the university denies. So now I guess this is her life now.

We are under attack.

Crazy, I would have thought reddit and lemmy were tight.

It seems even against rusty boats, Iran can’t break the blockade.

Many places won’t rent to someone that cannot prove monthly income greater than 3x the rent.

And just like that, suddenly Alles Scheiße is no longer cool, go figure.

Europeans are the masters of nihilism. It’s kind of honestly surprising your birth rates aren’t lower. We have our own growing culture of nihilism to battle and we certainly don’t need it harder.

Americans are far from prudes, but there’s a place and a time for nudity. If we allowed public nudity in advertisements, half of our billboards would turn into porn. If you don’t believe me, look at any state that’s legalize marijuana: it seems literally half of all advertising is for weed. Maybe if we didn’t have hyper aggressive market forces we could relax our laws a bit.

You are missing the point. Conservatism isn’t anything that you, specifically, believe it is.

Hmmm, I bet it’s no secret who your team is!

This place is very similar to reddit. Notably, chains of “removed by moderator.”

I’m not sure how you can be on lemmy or reddit and not recognize out-grouping from the left. Groups fundamentally define themselves by what they aren’t. And each group will strawman the other to strongarm their adherents into staying within the group.

Communist. Pink haired liberals. Nazis. Fascists. Meaningless boring out-group names that are repeated ad nauseum. But go. Indulge. Join a team and have fun. But don’t sacrifice real relationships for some politician. Be smarter than that.

Are you European? Do you think nothing matters? I have been around far too many Europeans that think that way and definitely do not look towards Europe for what I want America to be. Is it the desensitization of nudity? Probably not alone. But it’s one tiny piece of the nihilistic puzzle.

Look, you have it, you enjoyed it, and now it’s no longer a big deal. In other words, you no longer enjoy it like you once did. We’d rather not go that way. Everything in moderation. We’ll save the cyberpunk dystopia for another day.

I think Americans are mostly terrified of European nihilism and don’t want to fall into the same trap.
