  • Police raid Moscow gay bars after a Supreme Court ruling labeled LGBTQ+ movement ‘extremist’

    Jump

  • I see your point and it stands. Certainly anyone can lead a country down the wrong path and we don't know their true motives.

    My point was mainly that the power structure is seemingly reversed, so the incentives don't make as much sense.

  • In most cases, Jews who chose to collaborate with Nazis did so to guarantee their personal survival, which distinguished them from most other ethnic groups who collaborated with Nazi Germany. It's not exactly a fair comparison.

  • I second your experience. Additionally, if you disrupt their echo chamber too much, they'll delete your comments and ban you. This has happened repeatedly when trying to have civil discussions like this one. They justify it as preventing misinformation so I have yet to see a fair debate on there.

  • Ironically, Russians think they are fighting Nazis in Ukraine.

  • This reminds me, Think Geek used to be my go-to for holiday shopping. I haven't been there in years.

  • The current state of Instagram

    Jump

  • Whether it's a surprise or not, users don't have a choice of what platform is most popular or effective at getting work. Many applications for gigs ask for links to your social media, it's the default portfolio that many clients look for.

    All that artists can do is diversify to other platforms which have the same issues, and make a personal website which will probably get almost no traffic.

  • Sam Altman joins Microsoft as OpenAI names its third CEO in 3 days

    Jump

  • The board of random people who cycle out every year? Some of them working for competing AI companies? Yeah they definitely aren't the brains of this operation.

    Sam has been there since the beginning and had the vision, but he made some mistakes along the way that allowed this power grab to happen.

    No matter what OpenAI does, Microsoft will own their IP and future development on it, so OpenAI has already lost.

  • Hundreds of OpenAI employees threaten to resign and join Microsoft

    Jump

  • Here is a comment I copied from Hacker News:

    If they join Sam Altman and Greg Brockman at Microsoft they will not need to start from scratch because Microsoft has full rights [1] to ChatGPT IP. They can just fork ChatGPT.

    Also keep in mind that Microsoft hasn't actually given OpenAI $13 Billion because much of that is in the form of Azure credits.

    So this could end up being the cheapest acquisition for Microsoft: They get a $90 Billion company for peanuts.

    Are we posting sticks?

  • The stick she tells you not to worry about.

  • Dior has released a $230 'scented water' for babies. It's significantly more expensive than its bestselling fragrances for adults.

    Jump

  • The exorbitant price is the whole point of luxury stores like Dior. People who shop there would stop if everything became reasonably priced. Do you really expect people of their status to live like the rest of us?!

    28 percent of autistic people are left-handed.

    Jump

  • "The researchers found that individuals on the autism spectrum were 2.49 times more likely to be left-handed than people without autism.

    Altogether, about 28 percent of individuals on the autism spectrum were left-handed as compared to about 10 percent in the general population.

    Moreover, individuals on the autism spectrum were 2.34 times more likely to be mixed-handed than the general population and 3.48 times more likely to be either left-handed or mixed-handed than the general population."

  • Exclusive: Biden, Xi set to pledge ban on AI in drones, nuclear warhead control, sources say

    Jump

  • I think that is more like an advanced auto pilot which can also steer missiles to their target but only if fired by the human. The OP article says they're banning AI from making the decision to fire the weapon.

  • There's a reason for this sign

    Jump

  • I'm not positive but this looks like Lake Mead near Las Vegas. The water level is dropping so quickly that the boat ramp is only paved up to a point and then it is a temporary dirt and gravel path they've made down to the water because the water level drops so quickly they constantly have to reposition the boat ramp, mobile-docks, signs, etc.

  • This meme format is used to express disapproval of the action being described, such as destroying mental health. The image in the comment being downvoted comes across as transphobic, despite the disclaimer at the bottom.

  • Are there any active news communities similar to Lemmy/Reddit, but users can only vote and comment, not post articles?

    Jump

  • Yeah, some of them are way too technical for me as well. Only some of the articles end up getting reposted to lemmy though, when I browse directly on hacker news, I tend to find a good mix of articles that are less technical but still interesting.

  • Are there any active news communities similar to Lemmy/Reddit, but users can only vote and comment, not post articles?

    Jump

  • Check out Hacker News. Their mission is to only allow thought provoking posts and to not allow enshitification or dumbing down of their platform.

    Users can still post content but it is more highly moderated to maintain quality. The users tend to be techy so user submissions are higher quality than average reddit/lemmy posts.

    There is a lemmy community that reposts articles from hacker news but now I just browse it on their website or using the Android app Harmonic which I recommend.

  • Trump Confuses Sioux City and Sioux Falls During Rally

  • If you were a corporation, becoming a monopoly would be your wet dream. As a company becomes richer and more powerful, it gains more influence over politics. It's a feedback loop that gives them more and more power until they are monopoly. It's not the government that drives this, it's the corporations driving the government.
