ok? and i’m polish, i was talking about americans.

AI is not just ethically dubious, it’d also outright harmful for the already strained environment we live in. If AI stays - it won’t be here for long, mostly because there won’t be anoyone to ask it to generate giant hentai tits anymore

what confuses me a lot about america is how a lot of people will defend the AI’s “right” to steal training data to learn (education)

when there’s millions of students out there going into life long debt to go to collage, and none of the same americans are fighting for their right to learn for free

oh thank goodness. An image of students typing their notes with the on screen keyboard flashed in my mind and i was scared

sadly there are no stealth edits on lemmy, even if you hit edit the second you posted your comment to fix a typo it’s going to show up

please tell me they have those little external keyboards which would make them basically a shitty laptop

… you can’t see the massive exaggeration for the sake of being funny?

yeah at first i wanted to say “corporation” and “individual” but that’s not an equal playing field at all. So i just switched my woring to “bigger” thinking of idk, a writer in the same field who has a bigger following than you

i didn’t even get into the patents part because i’d be ranting about Adobe for hours again, and i already spend too much time thinking about them

edit: but then i said corporation anyway lol, i blame the fact i just woke up when i was writing that comment

though usually stupid and fucky copyright laws have one advantage - if someone bigger than you steals your idea you can take them to court. without copyright laws we’d have giant corporations just taking shit and using their platform to sell stolen ideas without a single cent going to the original creator…

which happens anyway, but uh, i guess it’d happen more?

honestly idk, let’s do a test run of a year without any copyright laws and see if anything changes like at all

my family hasn’t owned a dryer in all the years i used to wear zip up hoodies and they still did that

i’m the opposite, i’m trans and i picked a rather rare name for my fist name, but my middle name? Jon :)

i send messages to myself when i need to get a link/image from my phone to my pc or vice versa

is gemini on all androids? i remember there once was something called bixby, now when i accidentally hold the home button for too long it tells me to enable “circle”. i’ve disabled all of those “smart” features but fuck knows what is going to get automatically installed in an update next week

just because the things you want aren’t on sale… doesn’t mean the sale doesn’t exist

lmao, their tourism is going to shrivel and die so fast

danish butter biscuits are the best, and they can be elevated to divine if you dip them in tea. If you see a sewing kit shaped tin in a shop one day - try them

coward

i hear Laurel at high volumes and Yanny at low volumes, and if i turn down/up the volume little by little i can hear the same one across all volumes ( brain resets after a few seconds of not listening)

i mean, yeah?

the cookies you accept, the addons you have, hell, even the size of your monitor when you maximalise the window is a part of your browser fingerprint

anyone who’s ever downloaded the Tor browser will know it. that browser screams at you if you try to maximalise or install addons exactly because of that

hmm, i do wonder which causes which. Depression makes you prone to addictions as you seek anything to give you the happy chemicals. But constant social media exposure is rather harmful when you just take it all in, and that can cause depression Especially if you don’t block keywords for war coverages and politics.

i stand firm in my opinion that human brains are straight up not designed to take in a constant stream of bad news from around the world, which sucks because we are designed to focus on negatives for our survival. Memories of accidents and deaths take priority over nice memories so that we can avoid dangers better. from evolution’s point of view you being happy is an afterthought, you just need to live long enough to fuck. and across history it worked! we never had to distinguish between dangers nearby and dangers so far away it literally does not matter for you, as all news were brought by foot or with an otherwise huge time delay - they were either nearby or already history, and only one or two at a time. well, never… until today, and our neuroplasticity doesn’t seem to be enough to counter this, and evolution doesn’t work fast enough to fix this

Could also be a vicious cycle where if you trip and fall once both will create a negative synergy where you try to drown your sorrows in addictive doomscrolling, which only makes you worse

i accidentally picked the gayest high school to go to and even coming out as trans in my last year didn’t cause me any troubles. even the old teachers who never saw a trans person (that they knew was trans) before me did their best to respect my pronouns and identity without judgement. and all that in Poland, a country not exactly famous for being inclusive.

but i got insanely lucky, school can be tough. my heart goes all to those who’s joy of learning got dulled by others
