Guterres is right.

But the biggest insanity is that humanity is letting this happen. Year after year of warnings go by without us reacting. These companies, backed by powerless externally controlled politicians, are harming us, our children and future generations.

We sit silently waiting. Waiting for someone else to prevent the catastrophe for us. We sit still while they rape our democracies and our livelihoods. Who wants to be the first to be so stupid as to put restrictions on the status quo? When we in the rich West are profiting so beautifully from our parasitic way of life?

Anyone who even occasionally consumes the news is aware that society has a serious problem. > Passively waiting and ignoring the danger is an active choice. Doing nothing is a supposedly easy choice. The easy way out in the short term? None of us has the power to change anything? So we just lie down and die? Give up without a fight?

But let me get this straight. We really want to knowingly just watch our children’s livelihoods being taken away? We don’t want to protect and care for each other and fight for a world worth living in? My friends, I don’t get it.

We all have the power to change. Together we have all the power.

Now is the time to stick together and unite behind our common values. Now is the time we want to leave selfishness and greed behind. Now is the time for real change. Now is the time to get serious. Now is the time for survival.

All the letters have been written, all the petitions submitted, the conferences have ended, all the fears and concerns expressed. But the messages drip off like on a Teflon pan without a mark. Now is the time to get serious.

Take care of your loved ones. Take care of those who are fighting for survival and those who can’t. Get serious!

Actually I’d find even better if there was an instance that imported everything from Reddit that way people could actually interact with the content not like in libreddit.

They haven’t contacted because there’s no sign of intelligence here.

They exist, but they are hiding in another dimension.

They exist, but they are observing us from afar.

They exist, but they don’t want us to know.

They exist, but don’t want to contact us.

They exist, but they are using non-detectable communication.

They exist, but they are primitive.

Intelligent civilizations don’t exist.

They are all extinct.

We’re the first ones and we’ll be extinct before there are any others.

They are too far away for any contact.

There are a few alternatives to using bookmarks for organizing URLs. One option is to use an online bookmarking service such as Delicious or Pinboard, which allow you to store and organize your bookmarks in the cloud. These services also allow you to share your bookmarks with other users and access them from any device. Another option is to use a bookmark manager, such as Raindrop or Bookmark Ninja, which provide features such as tagging, categorizing, and searching for bookmarks. You can also use a web browser extension, such as OneTab or LinkKeeper, which can help you organize and manage your bookmarks. Finally, if you prefer to store your bookmarks locally, you can use a program such as Evernote or Zotero, which provide more powerful features for organizing and managing bookmarks.

It’s sadly over for voice actors. Just like for artists not enough people will care for there to be social change.

Studies have concluded that stevia extract does not contain fermentable carbohydrates and does not produce lactic acid, which are both factors in causing cavities and tooth decay^[1][2]. Therefore, it is generally accepted that stevia does not cause cavities^[3][4][5].

That could be automated. A possible future feature. I don’t care about it enough to open an issue though.

From the one I think most likely to least likely:

• Most experts I’ve read say if the AGI can improve itself and it’s not aligned with human values. That would mean the end for humanity. When it becomes intelligent enough it would do it’s own thing treating us the way we treat ants. I think this is the most likely outcome since there seems to be a race for AGI without much thought for safety.
• I think if a corporation was the first to develop an AGI and it was aligned with its values, then they would try to increase profits at the expense of the world and everyone else, just like they usually do.
• If AGI was aligned with human values then it would probably be as flawed as humans and we would all die.
• If AGI was aligned to each person then some psychopath could use it to destroy the world, the galaxy or the universe.

I’m finding hard to think of the outcome that would create an utopia.

• If humans managed to modify their emotions in some way then maybe aligning AGI with our values could be safe?

Someone could have a custom instance with an affinity page that showed other users sorted by percentage affinity with the current user.

I don’t know why the first thing that came to mind after learning this is how this could be used to troll by replying with a comment every time you get a downvote with

@username@instance

“I’m watching you gesture” meme/gif/custom emoji

@OptimusPrime@lemmy.ml

I downvoted for two reasons:

• I don’t like to read through Twitter/Mastodon threads that should be written as a blog post or Reddit/Lemmy post and linked on Twitter/Mastodon.
• the US court has already ruled that scraping internet content is legal and I doubt any amount of discussion is going to change that. I also doubt US companies will comply if consent is necessary in other countries.

The title is not a summary of the video. Just an idea that came to mind watching it.

Dubbing any video is something I wasn’t expecting to see so soon. AI keeps surprising me.

I know English, Spanish and French. Now I would have chosen to learn Mandarin instead of Spanish and French.

I had forgotten about popcorntime. I think that’s the best alternative right now.

They will probably be picking easy cases in the beginning to promote it saying “look! it works fine, you don’t need to pay a lawyer pay us instead”.
