Not sure either of these counts fully as what OP is looking for, but -

The idea of the technological singularity feels right to me. There’s a whole section on the wikipedia page about scientific objections to it, and I get that, but if we don’t kill ourselves before then, it seems like an event that almost has to occur at some point, to me. And maybe it zigs instead of zags and we get star trek. Or maybe it zags and we get terminator. But probably neither of those I’m guessing, and these days it’s hard to imagine that it would put humanity on a worse trajectory than we seem to be on today.

Similarly, but less seriously (for me) I like to consider the whole “maybe we’re in a simulation” theory.

Yeah, I peeked at your moderation history after posting, it’s OK, I see now this is the best I could have expected in answer. Good day to you!

Bullshit.

If you want to use the browser despite those controversies then that’s your choice, but be honest enough to admit they exist.

I don’t use brave and haven’t for a long time, but these things are well documented.

Good yes, but at this point they see what is happening to Target. It feels a little less “stand by your values” and a little more “self preservation” especially after this: https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/what-choice-do-they-have-us-ceos-bend-the-knee-to-trump-20241218-p5kzgc

For the record I wasn’t disagreeing with your point or criticizing it at all. Just trying to give some context that might explain what you were observing.

This would indicate its not a cut and dry as the youtuber suggests and also I would assume he is not a historian(no clue who he is) so its unclear why his opinion or definition of computer program should usurp that of most historians who would recognise a term may change over time and be less well defined initially when inspiring a new technology?

He’s a long-standing member of the tech pundit community (dare I say the Linux community), and in recent years has been exposed as antivax, anti-woke, and a bigot. Before that he was just a confident sounding asshole with sometimes interesting opinions.

Been there, had that conversation.

I, for one, welcome our AI overlords.

People are right generally about billionaires.

But she’s constantly in the news doing nice things with her money. Certainly she’s doing more good with it than other billionaires I could name.

Maybe the answer to your question is that she already has.

Also on Lemmy you can see the moderation history for any user or comment.

Do with that info what you will. It’s very helpful sometimes when folks claim mod abuse.

This is it for the curious:

This is just related:

Let’s not forget the quality. Also poor.

Trans rights are human rights.

So are all other LGBTQ+ rights.

You will never make me believe that Picard would have felt differently, and if you think he would have, I really don’t know how you missed so many of the fundamental messages across all Trek properties.

I didn’t see your comment before the mods removed it, but the beauty of Lemmy is it’s in the modlog.

You’re a disgrace to the fictional character you have chosen for your pfp.

Well, if we still have a nation four years from now, someone who cares about consumer protection might do something about that.

I’ll try hard not to become a troll posting this under every headline, but that’s my reaction to just about every article now of this sort.

Company, Republican Politician, or Billionaire does something clearly unethical and probably illegal, which is officially noted and reported on.

Yeah, and? It’s not a non-wealthy citizen, a democrat, or an entity targeted by maga as woke, so we can be sure the impact of this information will be most likely zero.

We are on the stupidest, bitterest timeline.
