Planets with tons of life are rare enough. They could come and kill the gross humans who are just a nuisance, clean the planet, and keep it as a zoo. Maybe they’ll keep a few hundred humans in an alien cage for the lulz.

Fucking LOL

I love chatgpt, and am dumbfounded at all the AI hate on lemmy. I use it for work. It’s not perfect, but helps immensely with snippets of code, as well as learning STEM concepts. Sometimes I’ve already written some code that I remember vaguely, but it was a long time ago and I need to do it again. The time it would take to either go find my old code, or just research it completely again, is WAY longer than just asking chatgpt. It’s extremely helpful, and definitely faster for what I’d already have to do.

I guess it depends on what you use it for ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I hope it continues to improve. I hope we get full open source. If I could “teach” it to do certain tasks someday, that would be friggin awesome.

You got one too you better go talk to 'em, it wasn’t me though I swear

twitter?

Knock these things down and plant trees and stuff.

While we’re at it knock all the corporate 9to5 office work buildings where all the employees can work from home and plant trees and stuff there too.

Trees and ponds and natural parks and shit, hiking trails…etc.

Is this about twitter?

The downvotes are meh, I’ve made similar comments that got more upvoted. Lemmy is a fickle beast and probably depends on the crowd at the time and their mood or the article or whatever.

You’re correct, I was not saying this is good by any means. I want the profit motive removed from everything healthcare related. I was just giving an exaggerated simple example of how the capitalist profit motive could (and arguably does) work in some instances.

We can speculate very easily.

There’s a trade-off, cost-benefit analysys. If a disease is so catastrophic that it kills everyone fast, well you’re not gonna make profit off them ever, because they die. Cure this one.

What about diseases that can be controlled somewhat, and only affect small amounts of the population? What if for them to stay alive they have to stay on a regular concoction of expensive pharmaceuticals either forever or for a long time? And they can still go to work? Why cure this, out of altruism? That’s not how capitalism works.

Let’s just say, for shits and giggles, we could cure immediately the common cold and mild influenza, forever. No more cough and cold over the counter medicine needed, much less pain and fever reducers. Local pharmacies don’t need to stock this stuff anymore. The companies that produce and sell these are all tied to wallstreet. Getting colds doesn’t stop you from working (or buying/consuming). Shit, I work with “men” who are “tough” who never call out of work sick because “I’m not a pussy” (cultural hardwork ethic propaganda nonsense).

Etc., etc. You get my point.

If there’s profit to be made treating HIV/AIDS symptoms without curing, the profit motive health industry won’t like this. Solve the problem, their profits go away.

Oh I’ll give you that, I’d love the gov to seize it and make it a public utility. First order of business is put the name back to twitter because duh. And bring back the little blue bird cuz it reminds me of birdie sanders.

Ain’t gonna happen though lol.

I’m childish and downvote anyone who refers to twitter as “x”. It’s like you’re on your knees licking Elons bum, right after he told you to call it x, you did what you were told lol.

Also I never got on the twitter bandwagon as it just didn’t appeal to me. My social media addiction was reddit.

Twitter sucks. X is a letter. Or a variable in algebra.

Which should be treason.

It’ll get worse, or even way worser than worse.

Is this before or after we sent a shitload of bombs for the IDF to use on poor emaciated children and homeless people in palestine?

It’s not just “biden being biden” by a longshot. He is 81 and significantly worse.

We are rightly worried he’s going to lose against trump.

Yeah, it’s a silly tradition. But old habits die hard and traditions like this die even harder.

If he had any decency or moral,

Trump

Lolwut

His plan is to hand you over to putin on a silver platter, for free.

I dont think it’s quite the same thing though. US contractors won’t be fighting, I think they’ll just be maintaining and repairing equipment.
