First, let me say that what broke me from the herd at lesswrong was specifically the calls for AI pauses. That somehow ‘rationalists’ are so certain advanced AI will kill everyone in the future (pDoom = 100%!) that they need to commit any violent act needed to stop AI from being developed....
my view is that the llm shit is a fun toy right now but there seems to be something real happening under the hood, unlike other recent tech trends driven by a desperate desire to find the next big thing after smartphones (crypto, vr, metaverse)

I’ve spent the last year learning Linux and coding, I had used windows for years and only used Ubuntu 12 for very short stints, and as for coding i was clueless, now ive a basic understanding but im getting there. Anyway thank you to all the maintainers, devs and community
federation has really made everything feel much more frantic. Also the sorting is still kinda fucked up in lemmy, it seemed more balanced in the older hexbear versions.
German energy giant RWE has begun dismantling a wind farm to make way for a further expansion of an open-pit lignite coal mine in the western region of North Rhine Westphalia....

Could someone smarter than me tell me how this could happen in a very large company like Starbucks or Amazon?
The few conversations I’ve had there have been unproductive and inflammatory. While even in other instances when I’ve said something someone disagreed with they would at least support their statement. Also no one would tell me why the “Confused Unga Bunga” meme is racist but they keep accusing me of it. I’m all for...
My run-in with the Hexbear Urbanism community kind of felt like a weird version of one of those subreddits run by conservatives. They’re very ban happy if you say the wrong thing like complain about how bad train systems can be in certain cities.
Meta post I’ve decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd....
Yeah I’m actually amazed people are still using this term. Figures it’s about computers though lol, of course the antisocial nerds are stronger holdouts than car enthusiasts.
Pretty much the same level of unrealistic idealism as folks who think it’s remotely possible to transition a state to communism without it turning into authoritarianism.

I wish there were fewer "screenshots of fights with libs" posts. Actual libs in the comments here I don't mind, as long as we drown them out, but the constant posting about libs wears me out a little.
At least quarantine that shit to the dunk tank....
