Someone’s gunning to be the first trillionare by selling sex bots.

I just realized I don’t think I’ve heard anyone talk about ghossty since it’s public launch.

You’re not accounting for lurkers which make up ≈80% of any social media site from what I remember. So you end up with what 50 million people actually posting as humans. That is easily outweighed by a significantly smaller portion of bots because they can post continuously.

Holy shit its wubuntu again. Can’t these people just go away lol.

Fucking source‽ Yes companies do scummy shit with IP all the time but no companies are not reprinting books without paying authors unless there is some crazy contract bullshit.

So what should be done so that authors and inventors are fairly compensated under our current economic system? I am not in support of capitalism to be clear but we are stuck with it for the foreseeable future and I don’t want small authors to have large companies just steal their books and reprint them.

IP is important in the current capitalist world. In an ideal world I absolutely think IP would be abolished but without it there would be no way for a small company to make something and not have it stolen out from under them by a mega corp.

I do not think current IP law is perfect or even very good now but under capitalism it is something that is necessary. Even in open source it matters because without it all the licenses in the world would not matter.

Hey this isn’t a cheat thing…

Are you ok?

People have been saying this on reddit since before I left reddit.

I used to be a huge user of all the drama subs but they started getting formulaic and obviously bullshit before I even considered leaving.

So more energy use for what the people that are into AI are calling a worse model. Is someone going to get fired for this?

I would say the are farther ahead in the state controll aspect at the very least.

Its titles like this that kinda make me understand why some republicans think climate change is all about controlling people. Like obviously there is more nuance to it than that but who writes that and thinks it’s a good headline.

for refrence Walmart has had me in the “applied” stage of resumee review on their shitty website for nearly a month. I don’t think people quite get how bad it is. I had to wait for a spot to open up to interview at McDonalds that I’m still waiting for because the closest one was two weeks out.

Can we all agree that the UK is a literal police state now? It can’t get more on the nose than this.

Part of it has to be that it’s fucking expensive. I know it’s not exactly a one to one comparison but I live in a legal recreational state. It’s 25$ (including tax) for a 1G vape. that’s a lot less than that amount to get equivalently intoxicated with alcohol.

You know just because a fascist says something doesn’t make it untrue right? Like always double check what they say but them saying it doesn’t make it untrue. The UK is following so much closer behind the US than some people want to admit. Hell half of Europe is still an elections away from ending up with a far right candidate. Now that Trump has been president for a bit I wonder how much of that immediate reaction you saw with Germany will continue.

I mean this very genuinely. When the next admin comes into office I hope they fire every single person who was involved in it and didn’t stop it.

If you’re the guy pressing the buttons to make the satellite de orbit quit your fucking job before doing this.

You’re still ignoring the core problem in that children can’t do any of those things by themselves anymore and all of them cost some amount of money with the exception of playgrounds and parks. Growing up the closest one to me was about a 30 minute drive so I would never be able to get myself there.

Do you realize how hostile the outside is to non-adults? Like genuinely I’ve seen people call the cops because there was a kid riding a bike unsuprivized in a suburban neighborhood. Malls are dying and there’s nothing to replace them as a meeting spot.

This isn’t even getting into the seeming requirement to spend what feels like 100$ to see a movie now or any of the other stereotypical hang outs. Or how many people have parents that simply do not have time to drive them places.

I’m genuinely interested in your response because I genuinely think the world has become actively hostile to kids being kids.
