Jeez, who pulled you out of /r/thedonald’s casket? Are they reassigning people to haunt Lemmy now?

Jeffrey Venezuela, haven’t you heard?

they flew at approximately 100 meters altitude directly over the radar station

Ehh, this is like saying “this million-dollar tank was unable to fire at a mosquito only one meter away from the driver”. There’s such a thing as a minimum engagement distance.

You’re just improvising bullshit now…

Except the first phrase and last paragraph, it was AI. Honestly, it feels like OP is taunting us with such a vague question. We don’t even know why they dislike AI.

I’m not an AI lover. It has its place and it’s a genuine step forward. Less than what most proponents think it’s worth, more than what detractors do.

I only use it myself for documentation on the framework I program in, and it’s reasonably good for that, letting me extract more info quicker than reading through it. Otherwise haven’t used it much.

What are some good reasons why AI is bad?

There are legitimate reasons people worry about AI. Here are some of the strongest, clearly framed concerns:

1. Bias and unfair decisions

AI systems often learn from biased data and can unintentionally discriminate—against certain races, genders, ages, or socioeconomic groups—in hiring, lending, housing, policing, and more.

2. Lack of transparency

Many AI models act as “black boxes,” making decisions that are hard to explain. This creates problems when the stakes are high (medical diagnosis, legal decisions, etc.).

3. Privacy risks

AI can analyze huge amounts of personal data, track behavior, or identify people through facial recognition—often without explicit consent.

4. Job displacement

Automation threatens certain categories of work, particularly routine or repetitive jobs. Without proper planning, this can increase inequality and unemployment.

5. Misinformation and deepfakes

AI makes it easier to create convincing fake audio, video, or text. This can undermine trust in media, fuel propaganda, and destabilize democratic processes.

6. Weaponization

AI can be used in autonomous weapons, cyberattacks, targeted surveillance, or manipulation—raising serious security and ethical issues.

7. Overreliance and loss of human skills

As AI does more tasks, people may become too dependent, reducing critical thinking, creativity, or expertise in certain fields.

8. Concentration of power

Powerful AI tools tend to be controlled by a few big companies or governments, potentially leading to monopolies, inequality, and reduced individual autonomy.

9. Alignment and control risks

Advanced AI systems may behave in unexpected or harmful ways if their goals aren’t perfectly aligned with human values—even without malicious intent.

10. Environmental impact

Training large AI models consumes significant energy and resources, contributing to carbon emissions.

If you want, I can also provide reasons why AI is good, help you construct an argument for a debate, or analyze specific risks more deeply.

Were you looking for this kind of reply? If you can’t express why you have an opinion maybe your opinion is not well founded in the first place. (Not saying it’s wrong, just that it might not be justified/objective.)

The correction helped me realize what you meant though.

…when the Tate brothers arrived by private plane in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, they immediately found themselves in the crosshairs of law enforcement once more, as Customs and Border Protection officials seized their electronic devices.

This time, they had a powerful ally come to their aid. Behind the scenes, the White House intervened on their behalf.

Interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica show a White House official told senior Department of Homeland Security officials to return the devices to the brothers several days after they were seized. The official who delivered the message, Paul Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison.

In his written request, a copy of which was reviewed by ProPublica, Ingrassia chided authorities for taking the action, saying the seizure of the Tates’ devices was not a good use of time or resources. The request to return the electronics to the Tates, he emphasized, was coming from the White House.>>>>

Gifts are am emotional thing. There are lots of estimations of what the other person likes or wants and lots of expectations from the giving side. The whiplash from hoping for the best, to finding you’ve actually caused displeasure with your gift can be hard to handle.

Both sides need to be wise, in control of their emotions and those of the other party when gifts are exchanged. Be as gentle as you can when explaining why it’s not something you want, express the things you’re grateful for (the intention, their effort, etc.), and even more gentle with their upset feelings at your refusal.

Calm down, Donald.

Yup, that should also keep the greens safe a while longer!

Oh, paper towels, what can’t you do?

I did a Google search and the recommendation is to put the paper towel over the mouth of the recipient the greens are in, or just shoved in the bag with them if that’s where they are.

OP seems to be mass-copying LPTs from someredditwhere or something.

This is the best description. Your gif embedded for visibility:

I see… TIL, thanks.

You mean because Twitter is an SMS-based messaging app?.. The character limits are arbitrary, not a technical limitation. Which is why they doubled them at one point, I believe.

The limits were meant to act as a micro-blogging enforcement measure, for micro attention spans.

Sorry, there were limited places available, you’re not on the list. Better luck next universe.

EDIT: listen people, please stop writing us. If you have to ask whether you’re on the list, you’re not on it.

Comparing the 1991 and 2071 world maps (at the end of the “Other Köppen climate maps” section) is interesting. Some places will see a lot of change.

I think it’s great that they’re keeping their traditional garments. I wouldn’t mock anyone with the cultural strength to do so. More cultures should have done it. (Edit: I know you’re not trying to insult them in particular, I was making more of a “by the way” comment.)

That is fun. TIL.

I don’t think it’s propaganda. The music and the ads too are just trying to do a “fellow kids” move, and that’s what they’re seeing. Because that’s what we’ve become.

It’s like seeing a mirror and getting spooked by how disheveled the person in it looks.
