Yeah but america is just too special and so teaching evolution has that magic effect on people there.

God just doesn't care about the other countries as much.

Not having distinct brake and turning lights is

No it is pretty common, especially when it comes to safety features.

The EU has stricter requirements especially stuff like lights, and you see European models often fitted with extra lights to comply with the regulations.

Technology connections has an old video on this regarding brake lights and turn signals at least https://youtu.be/O1lZ9n2bxWA?si=h5I-5_BMLoFEoj1k

Well, I personally disagree. Windows just keeps getting worse meanwhile Linux just does what I tell it to do. It feels much nicer to me.

It's more about it being the needle that breaks the camel's back. Windows does tons of small shitty things, and they keep adding more.

Then don't use it, but don't complain when your experience inevitably gets worse.

I don't get why people have such a need to be contrarians for stuff that is in their own best interest.

I think it's much less fucked than growing them just for food we don't actually need to eat, just luxury. And we do that on an absurdly large scale.

Also, is always encrypting drives even a good or desirable thing for most users?

I don't know the details, but what if someone forgets the password, or some PC components get broken, but they still want their data put of there?

Disk encryption is something that should be a choice, opt-in.

Yes, unfortunately currently society exists to serve billionaires, and we don't see that changing much. More automation will just entrench that power further.

We need to eliminate billionaires yesterday, or risk ending up in techno neo-feudalism.

Capitalism is reaching its end road. Things will change, for better or for worse. How it will change will depend on whether politics will support the people, or the rich.. and of we continue on without changing much, it will support the rich.

I see a lot of people conflating concepts in AI, so I cannot be too sure just from context.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You need to be more specific than just say "AI" here. Experts do not say that AI will never reach a point of true general intelligence, but they may say that LLMs cannot do that.

AI is a big field, and it has seen massive improvements over time. Sure, don't oversell its current capabilities, but we don't really know where the current path leads. Current AI is already plenty impressive.
