I’ve never had a cell phone in a dream but I’ve dreamed about other pieces of technology like video games. Though in my dreams if I interact with something like a video game there is no abstract medium like a peripheral and screen through which I’m interacting, it’s like I’m transported into the game whether it is first person or third person.

I have read many things just fine in my dreams, never had a cell phone though.

Why don’t you go fight instead of talking big.

Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.

I find the checklist format for dietary guidelines like Dr Gregor does to be more compelling and easier to groc. These plates make it seem like you should fret about achieving a specific balance. It’s like when people try to achieve very specific macro splits, instead of focusing on getting the things their body needs (enough proteins, essential fats, fiber).

Once I started using Lemmy I never touched Reddit again. So I guess Lemmy.

YES

At least if we go off the Lemmy definition. I don’t self identify.

This could be a huge money save. Might cost the city less if they simply bisect pedestrians in police chases instead of paralysing them from the waist down.

I didn’t think it was a choreographed publicity stunt. I just know Altman has used AI fear in the past to keep people from asking rational questions like “What can this actually do?” He obviously stands to gain from people thinking they are on the verge of agi. And someone looking for a new job in the field also has to gain from it.

As for the software thing, if it’s done by someone it won’t be openai and megacorporations following in its footsteps. They seem insistent at throwing more data (of diminishing quality) and more compute (an impractical amount) at the same style of models hoping they’ll reach some kind of tipping point.

This fear mongering is just beneficial to Altman. If his product is powerful enough to be a threat to humanity then it is also powerful enough to be capable of many useful things, things it has not proven itself to be capable of. Ironically spreading fear about its capabilities will likely raise investment, so if you actually are afraid of openai somehow arriving at agi that is dangerous then you should really be trying to convince people of its lack of real utility.

If you’re soaking your sheets in sweat it’s probably a good idea to hang them instead of just leaving them there. They’ll dry and air out more effectively. This comes from someone who washes all their bedding weekly though, it’s kind of a must after switching to showering at night. If I go to bed clean I want to wake up clean, and going to bed clean in a clean bed has done wonders for my sleep.

Bread or cracker with peanut butter, mayo, and mustard (the ground seedy kind).

The cheapest fastfood cheeseburgers usually aren’t many calories, and they are even worse when it comes to overall nutrition and satiety. You may be getting something for a $1 but it could hardly be called a meal.

Are you trying to prove my point? I’m not going into threads about protesting or sabotaging dirty energy infrastructure and freaking out about how activists and the people who support them are all Biden haters and being overall inflammatory. Telling me to get some perspective is cute when it’s obvious you came to this thread focused on a single thing and ready to start shit, you didn’t come here to gain any perspective.

I can’t tell if you’re here to instigate as a right wing psyop or because you have so much electoralism brainrot that you have to make everything about an election that is still months away when there are more important things happening right now. People are dying.

Amazing music tagger and batch renamer, for those of us who still have all our music as files.

Yes, some people being pushy and judgemental is the real travesty. Not animals having their autonomy and lives taken. I didn’t realize we were supposed to coddle people who we see partaking in grave abuses.

People also continue to benefit from the work of slaves in the past and even present. What’s your point? Do you think slavery is ethical? Is someone choosing to avoid products created from slave labour not a more ethical choice?

I became a vegan at a time in my life where I was close to being homeless. It might be hard for some people to switch to a plan based diet (veganism is more than a diet) depending on their access to a grocery store or food bank or people who can’t choose what they consume such as children, but it is definitely not a luxury.
