I know there’s a big knee-jerk anti-AI sentiment on Lemmy, but some of these points are perfectly legitimate. Not the ones seeking emotional validation or trying to create social connections, but automating the tweaking of your resume and cover letters for all these companies that expect personalized engagement, absolutely. I’ve got extremely limited cognitive bandwidth and I’ve got too much to do besides branding myself and making you and your company feel special. If capitalism loves automation so much, then let’s automate this bullshit.

I’m just waiting for this AI bubble to burst so we can finally move away from soullessly imitating human social patterns and toward the things AI is actually useful for: pattern recognition.

Just forwarded this to my wife. She’ll probably be interested.

More research is showing that neurodivergent girls and women go undiagnosed more often than their make counterparts, whether that’s because of symptoms presenting differently or societal expectations forcing them to self-regulate in a way that’s more “socially acceptable.”

Think of the selection criteria as filling in gaps in knowledge instead of just widely excluding whole populations.

Slopsquatting is already taking off

The horny just adds credibility

Why not just take the 15? It’s so much shorter, and you have a couple guns to protect yourself in case anything pops up, right?

Right?

God bless Dolly.

This meme predates Facebook by at least a decade.

Looks like there’s a lesson here.

Mine said I was 0.2% Mongolian so now I endearingly tell stories of my Grandpa Khan.

ONCE AND FOR ALL!

Thus solving climate change once and for all.

Even if that was the case, the conservatives’ counter argument never addresses why the association with facism, white supremacy, Nazism would supposedly be false. It’s always a knee-jerk “actually you guys are bad.” Not doing much to counter the association.

Don’t forget Kid Rock was there for some reason

Except the part where he started flipping tables and whipping money lenders

Even better: pirate it, and whatever it would have cost, donate that amount to an LGBTQ+ charity.

It gave us a little peace of mind when our autistic child was a toddler. He had just started eloping and he was very fast and very sneaky. Holding his hand wasn’t always feasible and we wanted to encourage some freedom and independence so a backpack with a tether was a good option, especially in crowded areas. He was free to explore something if it interested him but the gentle tug gave him enough physical feedback to understand that he needed to stay close to us. Now that he’s older we can just verbally remind him to stay close if he starts wandering off.

I’ve heard something along the lines of, “it’s not when computers can pass the Turing Test, it’s when they start failing it on purpose that’s the real problem.”

My autistic wife is the reason our home hasn’t inexplicably burned to the ground!

The overwhelming majority of jobs in the military never see combat. Only some even contribute to combat operations. And no, the person working in finance processing paychecks does not contribute to combat operations.

People join the military because it provides the socialist systems that should be available to everyone. Go out and talk to a couple hundred servicemembers. You’ll be able to count on one hand how many joined out of pure patriotism and not as a means to avoid poverty.

It’s easy to look down on them from a position of privilege. A lot of people don’t have that luxury. A lot of times they have virtually no other means to obtain healthcare, education, financial security, or a means to leave their town. Those needs outweigh any satisfaction they might get from up on that high horse you’re on.
