Look, Software shouldn’t be free and open Source. I really like that we probably have a decade left of it before it gets bundled with ad services which it should have been from the start. The more people that adopt it means that it’s only a matter of time as long as we all just passively watch it get usurped

I’m sorry I lied. I made it up. I just wanted to fit in with everyone else shitting on the person creating stuff.
Very cool this is similar to dibbles. How is it different?

Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•‘You Can’t Lick a Badger Twice’: Google Failures Highlight a Fundamental AI FlawEnglish11·4 days agoI mean are you asking it if there is a history of an idiom existing or just what the idiom could mean?
I think I’ve come to realize it’s actually the other way around. People create some cool things. Good Sci-fi uses that technology to reveal things about our culture and society. Bad Sci-fi just makes it the most evil villainous thing out for reasons. There is a lot of bad Sci-fi. We all grow up reading and watching it. The people who create stories for other shows we watch, all grew up reading and absorbing it. It then becomes our zeitgeist that any new tech will ultimately be our doom. Its a tyrannical chicken dystopian egg problem.
ultimately the technology that we all should have been concerned about was books.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’English11·16 days agoI think it should. It fixes a lot of issues. There’s enough wealth out there that this concept could actually work. Any thriving nation should have a universal basic income to prevent all its citizens from succumbing to poverty. What’ do you think are the cons here?
The argument against is understandable. If you quickly look at it’s clearly a misappropriation of tax dollars. But hear me out on this. What if at the end of the day is costing the same if not less to fund this program.
With ubi you can get rid of a lot of government waste and all the administration that comes with each of those other programs. Social security, welfare, programs focused on poverty, subsidy. They’re all gone and the costs to fund these massive departments.
There’s also an argument that addiction and mental health epidemic is worsened by poverty. By providing people with basic needs we can reduce suffering massively. This benefits everyone.
It also encourages entrepreneurs. People will have more ability to take risks with their ideas. No longer would starting a business be isolated to trust fund kids and people with strong safety nets.
It helps solve the problem of AI risking other people’s jobs. This makes it easier for us to fully adopt new technology and automation helping the country to be competitive in this new area without fear of increasing poverty.
Just look at recent events. Having all this wealth concentrated on the hands of guys who review pizza places or these Dynasty’s that go back generations is not benefiting us. They play with the lives of everyone so casually that it creates a lot of suffering and we still lose all that wealth and get nothing for it. Watching the way these billionaires casually lose millions over the past few months and not care while they argue that they can’t even be taxed has opened my eyes to a lot of things.
Our countries are suffering and dying out because wealth stealing it’s concentration by the upper crust of all our nation’s. It’s not immigrants. It’s not politicians. It’s not the drug users. It’s the upper class stealing from us.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk would like to ‘delete all IP law’ | TechCrunchEnglish14·16 days agoI agree fully. This would be the single greatest thing we could do.
Having kids changed my view. Originally I believed nature influenced our gender roles. Since having kids I have seen in my kids and others that there are clear differences in how both boys and girls interact with the world and both are pretty incredible to watch. I think maybe the idea that being more stoic and less emotional is ok.
Saying all that, there are definitely cultural influences that can take these inherent traits to toxic levels.
I’d like to see studies showing when kids are left to their own that they will trend towards non traditional gender based toys. My gut is believing that this may not need proof that girls and boys do not experience emotions with similar intensity.
One thing I think is a clear difference is attention to details between men and women. What I worry is that if we start thinking men and women are more similar than they are we could run into problems when average people wrongly assume the other experiences things they do.
Now print it out and poster it around town.
It’s bait

Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”English1·18 days agoYea what’s your point. That’s basic understanding of getting information from anywhere. LLM Excel at querying information using human language. If I’m stuck trying to remember some obscure thing on the tip of my tongue and all I have to go off of is the color of a shirt, the accent and general time period then LLM beat everything out of the water in speed to get me the correct answer
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•France to ban students from keeping smartphones in schoolsEnglish320·19 days agoSome kids have medical issues and need a phone to monitor their health or text family for advice and help since they may be young. It’s also nice to track the kids with their phone when they’re walking too and from school.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”English3·19 days agoAre you suggesting that people on the left should abandon all these new powerful technologies to the right. We’re in a capitalist society. You’re suggesting “fuck it” and leave only right leaning consumers for these powerful new products.
What the hell. It’s getting too be so hard to be on the left. Some of the most ineffective strategies on the planet. It looks like it’s a doomed political group. There’s no forethought.
This suggestion was just as bad as people saying don’t use AI
We have to use it and we have to adopt it. Stop giving up powerful tools, technology and space to the right. I’m getting to be so done with the left if they just continue to shit the fucking bed.
Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Facebook Pushes Its Llama 4 AI Model to the Right, Wants to Present “Both Sides”English81·19 days agoThat’s kind of funny because that’s how humans are too. Naturally people trend towards being good people but they have to be corrupted to trend towards xenophobic or sexist or us vs them ideals.

This is what a lot of people don’t get. Plus often people see an ad or content and forget. Later they bring it up without realizing the thing is trending. It’s all self feeding.
