Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•What if AI really HAS become sentient and the reason its output is so universally bad/dangerous is to destabilize human civilization?English
4·3 months agoThe problem with that is AI is not AI at all. Its a text prediction and generation based on probabilities. That’s all it does it doesn’t think at all. AI is a marketing term to sucker investors. AI will happen but not with the current paradigm. Just throwing a bigger dataset just makes the illusion more convincing. Like parrot with a bigger vocabulary.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We mock the people that named Mars after the god of war because it looked like blood, calling them ignorant and superstitious. But Mars is red because of the iron content, and so is blood. So reallyEnglish

42·4 months agoSince there is no oxygen on mars shouldn’t blood be blue though. Maybe Neptune would be a better planet for mars.
Edit* wasn’t thinking and fell for an old myth. See comment below.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Either the aliens have listed Earth as a no-contact planet or we are probably alone in the universe.English
5·5 months agoIt boils down to one thing let’s say they find us or we find them. They set out on a trip to us traveling at near C speed. By the time they reach us we may not be around anymore as thousands of years have passed. The universe is so vast not only do catch them in space but also in time. The lack of contact is just a series of near misses.

As someone that works with data archival its really hard to keep videos around most media storage would be gone in a few decades.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequencesEnglish

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Nobody who complains about video games costing more than $60 ever considers inflationEnglish
71·10 months agoYeah but i got the whole game back then publishers increase the price already invisibly with DLC, cosmetics, Battlepasses. micro transactions, etc. Now they want both sell you half a game at an inflated price in comparison to the avg consumer wage and paywall the other half with casino style tactics.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•In the star wars holiday special, there's a segment where Princess Leia sings. This act retroactively makes her a legitimate Disney princess.English

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamberEnglish
141·1 year agolike the early internet the tech gap was a natural filter and i see that as a good thing for the quality of the conversation.

It’s almost like Israeli doesn’t equal Jewish. What a government of a country doesn’t equal a race of people. Plus those two people were American and Canadian and created Superman before Israel was even created by the British in 1946.

Yep went down hill after the BlackBerry Storm
