  • Not really all that strange. I’m not up on how this particular vote went but if 39% is in favor only 23% needs to abstain for the ‘against’ vote to be in the minority. Also counting by percentage of the total population is misleading and kind of dumb, we’re never going to have individual referenda for this type of decision making and thank god for that. That’s how we got Brexit.

    Aside this form of Musk style “interesting 🤔” rhetoric really raises my hackles.


  • Killing the head of a terrorist organization won’t help if you don’t fix the underlying issues.He will be replaced in short order, usually by someone worse. Likewise this kind of political movement.

    What the left in Europe (well in my country at least) still doesn’t understand is that they’re not going to fix this by lecturing the populist voters about how all their thoughts and ideas are wrong.



  • I don’t know, I use GH copilot every day. Not to generate whole blocks of code but as autocomplete. It more often than not can finish my sentence for me. It’s makes wrong assumptions some times but it most definitely saves me time. I was just using an IDE today not set up for copilot and it made me realize how much I miss it when its gone.


  • I’m on the side of social cooperation but this “argument” is pretty damn flimsy.

    Scenario 1: I donate to some go-fund-me to pay for some kids medical treatment Scenario 2: I say “we should all be forced to pay for public healthcare for all”

    I personally am very much in favor of the latter, but being happy about #1 and against #2 is not some kind of crazy cognitive dissonance.






  • Most of the hate is coming from people who don’t really know anything about “AI” (LLM) Which makes sense, companies are marketing dumb gimmicks to people who don’t need them and, after the novelty wore off, aren’t terribly impressed by them.

    But LLMs are absolutely going to be transformational in some areas. And in a few years they may very well become useful and usable as daily drivers on your phone etc, it’s hard to say for sure. But both the hype and the hate are just kneejerk reactionary nonsense for the moment.





  • I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

    The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

    Some company decided to change their logo because it looks dated and might give the wrong impression. How is this even a problem?

    As for liberals causing problems, yeah maybe they go a bit too far some times and can be over sensitive. But the other side is literally trying to take us back to theocracy, where women only have the rights their husbands will allow them. They’re not even pretending otherwise any more. I’ll take oversensitive over that any day.



  • No one said that here. You’re just reducing the conversation to an idiotic meme, just like the two “representatives” in this case are doing. Just shouting bullshit at each other and thinking that makes you smarter because you got the last word. Well newsflash, this doesn’t solve anything. It just strokes your own goddamn stupid ego “my zinger was better than hers” which is absolute moronic stupidity.

    Yes, Biden is better than Trump. But both sides do seem absolutely intent on a race to the bottom and we’re gleefully cheering on our side to get there first. No one is trying to be the better person. Obama kind of did and we flamed him to hell for trying, he was too civil and tried too much to compromise, right? Beating the republicans at their own game is never going to happen. Just by getting us to play their game they win.
