That’s not capitalism that’s just greed, one is an economic system the other is human nature that’ll come out in any society

I suppose Stalin’s Russia was also capitalism’s fault somehow

Ah gotcha, difficult to tell over text and a lot of people here would genuinely respond like that unprovoked

Matter replicators you would hope would bring about post scarcity and the kind of society you see in Star Trek, I have my doubts one would ever be developed without greed as a motivation though

Short of changing human nature I don’t think even with all tthat tech we’d end up being a fair society, people would hoard energy, replicator tech, political power etc (unless it’s so simple people could build them themselves I suppose)

How do you see something like that and your first thought is to respond with hostility

I would make the argument that even under perfectly executed communism space travel is unlikely to end up being the focus

Closest continuer doesn’t really apply if the agent wasn’t sentient in the first place

Who’d have thought not having explosions going off inside the car constantly would cause less wear and tear

Lemmy is going to be exactly the same, super easy to scrape as it’s all standardised and open

“let’s try to stop hate by voting for the person we hate the most publicly”

On the flip side, training ai for image recognition has the potential for auto labelling images for the blind

Could be either the website owners themselves generate them if a human written one isn’t provided, or a browser extension that auto labels any unlabelled images on the screen

Captchas have been for training ai for years that’s nothing new. Iirc the reason you do two is one to confirm you’re human, one for training data

I open source everything I make whether it’s useful to anyone or not just for the sake of it, I document it for CV points

I wish the people in it for the money would hurry up and leave the market is so saturated

What is the thing being shared here?

I think educating people on the dangers of social media is akin to educating crack addicts on why crack is bad for them

The vast majority are already addicted and already know the dangers

I stayed away from social media till around 18 because everyone told me how harmful it was, all that did was socially exclude me, and delay the addiction til later in life

Do people store their money in these things? I use Google pay quite often, but it draws the money from the bank at the time of payment

Imagine defederating from an instance with the cat picture community

Beehaw defederated from a bunch of instances, maybe you’re not federated with the one people are posting to

They’re all in the cats community if you aren’t subscribed prob won’t see em

Same for me, which strikes me as a fundamental problem with the platform that once one community blows up it drowns out the others

Could do with some balancing algorithm that soft caps the ratio of posts from a single community that get shown on any given page
