#Subtoot
Sorry I can't take you seriously when you warn about the dangers of AI when you fail to note that what we have is not, in any way close to an actual AI. It's a glorified version of autocorrect, that will advise you to make pasta with gasoline or eat rocks.

That is obviously dangerous in it's own way, but it's not HAL 9000 or SKYNET.

JoeGrowling,
@JoeGrowling@todon.eu avatar

@Wen @MickG59 like I said, it's dangerous. But dangerous because it's bullshit, not because of it being in any way intelligent.

The financial bubble of AI, and it's inevitable collapse, is of more danger to both of us than anything else.

What is a fediverse-neutral word for "subtweet"? People here use "subtoot", but that's based on Mastodon's "toot", which is no longer officially used.

"Subpost" doesn't sound quite right. But I guess that's it?

JoeGrowling,
@JoeGrowling@todon.eu avatar

@stefan who cares if it's 'official'? It's understood.

JoeGrowling,
@JoeGrowling@todon.eu avatar

@stefan hardly comparable. Nobody is going to be offended or hurt by what you call a social media post.

JoeGrowling,
@JoeGrowling@todon.eu avatar

@stefan obviously, but over-thinking politically correct language and stretching it into irrelevant minutiae of technical language undermines the more important issues, makes the whole idea of inclusive language appear less serious.

Israel says it is considering a strike against Iran “that would not lead to a war” as it continues to restrict aid access to the Strip. Meanwhile, settlers in the West Bank escalated attacks against villages, killing two Palestinians.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel

The only kind of strike against Iran that "would not lead to war' would be a massive nuclear one that made Iran incapable of striking back.

The madmen in Israel may well think that is a good idea.

@jalcine quality tune, obviously, but I'm totally distracted by the fact you're sharing the song via a link to Plex...

I didn't know that was a thing- and I've been using Plex for years.

Somehow Daisy has learned how to climb onto the dining table...

Not worked out the climbing down part though.

She just patiently waits there for someone (me) to rescue her😆

@glynmoody 'considering' recognising a state after first waiting for the inhabitants to be killed/ deported is just empty posturing and should be treated as such

Oh look, The Guardian seems to be unable to say the words "poverty pay rates" for some reason.

15 states have just refused federal food aid for children but sure, pretend that Red State legislatures have any interest in supporting families.

The "pro-life" crowd are just delusional.

JoeGrowling,
@JoeGrowling@todon.eu avatar

@Litzz11 they are only delusional if you think they believe their own cover stories.

They don't.

It's not, and never has been, about saving babies to them.

JoeGrowling,
@JoeGrowling@todon.eu avatar

@Litzz11 The whole 'cult of the foetus' is a fig leaf for Fascism it has nothing to do with babies.

(Other than the handy way they can call the opposition 'baby killers')

You are far too generous to grant them the cover of genuine religious belief.

They don't care if your baby starves when it's born - that's a big fucking clue that they are full of shit, don't you think?

Nostalgia is one hell of a hallucinogenic, it can result in thinking a mass murdering war criminal like Bush or Blair or an old fashioned Tory is somehow worthy of your respect, just because the latest generation are more obvious in their vile language.

Don't be a dick. They were evil cunts with old fashioned manners/ Public relations teams. Nothing more.

The normalisation of "Reform UK" by the UK Press is disturbing in the extreme.

These Nazi cunts refer to Tories and Labour as both 'socialist'...they are not in any sense 'normal'.
