Of course that doesn't excuse the abuse but it feels like people NEED to have somebody shitty abusing the system & proclaim everybody and everything indistinguishable, regardless of the fact that usually the people who actually do the work are the strongest critics of the shit behaviour.

If one cared about these topics, they would know, thet info is available. We are drowning in information. People CHOOSE to ignore the actual work and pretzel themselves into objections and their source is PETA or something equally ascientific and ridiculous.

"For profit zoos exist and suck". True. Zoos who are not for profit do a lot for conservation and many are doing so much and going above and beyond. While receiving shit funding, I might add, and are dismissed.

Because the last 20 years so many people I admire who work to protect and care about nature, science, so many things, are instantly dismissed as making money out of that care, while I know first hand that most of them are working for shit pay.

Струва ми се, че има хора, които имат НУЖДА всичко да е ужасно. Ако някой прави нещо, то задължително е по негативни причини или е само заради изгода. Дори да няма никакви доказателства, че е нещо такова, това е първата стъпка...

If they could tell if somebody is actually doing something or only pretending they would not be insisting how being present in the office would boost productivity. 😂😂😂

Sometimes the most annoying group of people are those who care about something but confuse their interest for being the same as actually having relevant education and understanding of the topic. It's kind of annoying.

The same "big money" people constantly claim those who try to do any conservation of the environment are getting? Being dismissive & wrong is a choice. You are invited to get a degree in something relevant then argue with conversations and zoologists how you know better. Until then fucking zip It.

Next they'll outlaw playing hopscotch. 🏳️‍🌈

Okay, so you don't think that. Just calling it "conversion bs".

You know, we are veering into a conversation which will go nowhere. You are convinced that it's bs and that every biologist, zoologist and people involved is a liar or against it. So let's end it here.

"are llms affected by being sold as if they are magic when there is no such thing as ai or are you just bad at interpreting the information that is unreliable because LLMs can't do the things but it's your fault somehow?" - the article.

You know that zoos exist for a reason and it is not "unnecessary", right? This is not just animals in cages for the fun of It.

Okay, that genuinely sounds great. I didn't know that this was done and is a thing that actually happens.

Като цяло се справя отлично, обаче е разписано от 80те насам, някои неща са съвсем леко морално остарели, като цяло, издържа добре на времето.

На мен лично ми е една от любимите научни фантасти, защото И научния аспект е адресиран И фантастиката. Поредицата е, хората са се разделили към звездите. И основния фокус е планета на име Бараяр. Която е населена от хора от нашия район. Балканци, гърци, руснаци. :) Адски увлекателно.

Oh hey.

“As the proverbial Godot, robots are the bearers of a messianic promise that is always postponed. Instead of bringing prosperity for all, they discipline the workforce, so we don’t dream of a world without drudgery and exploitation.”

The Futile Search for the Bullsh*t-Less Job Total Control + Totalizing Fear

This is my favorite thing I've read in the past week. We typically discuss the job market as it relates to those searching to land a job. But even those *with* jobs feel unsettled and disillusioned, and are planning a raft for when our ship sinks

Хъх, ок.

I think "white nationalists and religious nutjobs" is a better description of the situation.

None. VR is stupid.

"In signing this waiver, I agree that this technology is immensely valuable not just to my child, but to her classroom, the tech giant that sold it to our school, and its billionaire owner."

Great list of bullshit excuses.

I would simply not burn fossil fuels if I had the choice, and the reason I don’t have a choice is fossil fuel companies lobbying.

Okay, I have to admit, while I am annoyed with her anti science nonsense, it is impressive that she managed to admit she was wrong and she is trying to help. This is hard, for everybody and anybody.

Ок, но изисква добро познание на китайската история, за да се оцени напълно, поне според мен.

О, да, отдавна беше, просто наскоро стана на въпрос случайно като си говорехме за плюсовете и минусите за общностите.

Recently I had a weird conversation about how somebody learned about my existence because of, I kid you not, a hater blog. They were so impressed by my alleged troll capabilities to manage to get so far under the skin of somebody, that they sought me out and were baffled how inoffensive I am. 😂😂

А, ок, това е по-постижимо.
