Shitty take. I think you’re trying to reference sciatica, which doesn’t make your comment any less sexist and gross
The best kind of correct

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•I think Lemmy in general is very against AI. I'm rather new here, is it like a fediverse group thing or is this even based on reality?
0·21 days agoOh yeah, Lemmy is overwhelmingly against AI in any capacity. I’m one of the few that finds it useful for a handful of things and generally defend that use. That being said, it’s definitely important to understand that “hallucinations” are a thing (though not nearly as prevalent as those here would claim), it’s a major problem for the arts industry at large, it’s objectively making people dumber (great studies on students who over rely on it), and there are terrible climate implications.
It’s just a tool, and like any other tool there are pros and cons, and it should be used responsibly. But yeah, Lemmy hates the shit out of anything AI
Took me a second to get that this was a dude missing the point. It seems so obvious I struggled to recognize how someone could be so blatantly unaware

Also, read the article. It’s pretty interesting science with some valid limitations and concerns.

19·24 days agoIsraeli TV channel i24News reported on February 2 that the Israeli army was spraying herbicides on farmland "in areas near the Syrian and Lebanese borders so as to kill vegetation that terrorists could hide in”.
Why even make an excuse if it’s such a blatant lie

Note for other humans: free will means we can anyway






Except everything isn’t okay… Everything is actually really, really bad. Not for me personally, as a white cis man everything is fine. But for so many people the world is a bad and dangerous place right now, and that terrifies and stresses me the fuck out.
