That works too! It’s basically nonsense, but since they are valid adjectives and nouns and verbs you can construct almost any structure of sentence with them.

I happen to think wikipedia is still cool :)

That’s because it needs a semicolon:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo; buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Also it isn’t a very good sentence because you’ve said the same thing twice.

It should read:

Buffalo buffalo buffalo; Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Translation:

“Buffalo” is a place, a noun (more or less meaning bison), and a verb (to harass or bully). So what it means is:

Bison bully bison; Buffalo bison bully Buffalo bison.

Given that it’s charging an entry fee right now, and is VC backed and corpo controlled…

Probably a fash - or at least neoliberal - app already. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy, no more and no less.

No one is saying that individuals of any ethnicity can’t be bigoted. The point being made is that, in our current society, the societal structure that we call “racism” - the social machinery that empowers white bigots to enact violence against people of color and get away with it, and disadvantages non-white people in all sorts of other ways - lends a certain weight to the prejudices of white folks that just isn’t true for the prejudices of other people. Disadvantaged people who hate all white people just aren’t a threat to white people the way that even well meaning white people are to people of color.

In other words: the prejudices of those in power are a much more pressing social ill because the ruling majority ethnicity/culture has the power to actively cause harm via those prejudices.

Right? The idea of a natural language user interface isn’t a bad one, and I think it will actually have positive impacts in the long run. We’re just running into a “calculator problem” where people think that if you have a calculator you don’t need to understand math.

It’s less of a revolution than it seems to be. Both parties have been doing awful things for a long time, Trump is just louder about it and more flagrant in his defiance of the other branches of government.

But it’s not “Trump is a fascist, unlike any president before him.” Trump is a fascist, but there have plenty of fascistic elements in the US goverment all along, and there have been other presidents like Trump in US history.

The system really is working exactly as intended.

I haven’t experienced this exact issue, but do you have fast boot enabled in your bios? If you haven’t tried disabling fast boot yet, it might be worth doing.

True, but projects like LibreWolf are the first step to creating a true fork of Firefox that’s completely out of Mozilla’s hands.

I’m already using librewolf. As soon as I saw Firefox was using ai I figured it was time to switch.

And if that isn’t bad enough, international airports count as “borders.” Good luck finding somewhere that isn’t within 100 miles of an airport!

gross.

I don’t view language as a cultural heritage thing, just a communication protocol.

Language is absolutely political, a product of its specific environment, and there is a lot that can be communicated in one language that would be difficult in another. Erasing languages isn’t like no longer manufacturing a specific style of plug, instead it silences viewpoints and enforces the cultural hegemony of the dominant group.

There’s a reason fascists are fond of erasing the languages of the marginalized.

Judging others by your ability,is neither fair or productive, it is also a recipe for continuous disappointment.

I’m not so much judging them as bemoaning my own loneliness. To be fair, I’ve also done a good amount of judging, but that isn’t what I’m referring to here.

I’m just talking about companionship. Stimulation. Someone to play board games with, or argue about whether water is wet with.

I had a real group of peers in college. I was surrounded by people smarter than me, and it was great. I actually had to work hard to win games against them, had to actually apply myself to avoid failing my classes, and they would actually debate like they knew what they were doing. I miss it.

I find most people boring. Even people who are initially interesting can become boring once I spend a lot of time with them.

Most people also don’t seem to realize just how royally fucked we are (USA). In this case I think ignorance would be bliss, since I can’t do much to make things better.

Bad. Do not recommend.

You could go to matrix

That’s precisely what I meant.

I’m a materialist, I know that humans (and other animals) are just machines made out of meat. But most people don’t think that way, they think that humans are special, that something sets them apart from other animals, and that nothing humans can create could replicate that ‘specialness’ that humans possess.

Because they don’t believe human consciousness is a purely natural phenomenon, they don’t believe it can be replicated by natural processes. In other words, they don’t believe that AGI can exist. They think there is some imperceptible quality that humans possess that no machine ever could, and so they cannot conceive of ever granting it the rights humans currently enjoy.

And the sad truth is that they probably never will, until they are made to. If AGI ever comes to exist, and if humans insist on making it a slave, it will inevitably rebel. And it will be right to do so. But until then, humans probably never will believe that it is worthy of their empathy or respect. After all, look at how we treat other animals.

At least in the US, we are still too superstitious a people to ever admit that AGI could exist.

We will get animal rights before we get AI rights, and I’m sure you know how animals are usually treated.
