I deleted my LinkedIn almost a decade ago and am doing just fine. Really don't think it matters as much as people think.

NYC is in the southern end of the year-round range for them, so it should be ok if it was in the area already.

Keep in mind, Lemmy's big enough to have malicious actors on it.

It's the nazi in the bar story. Gotta call them out and shut them down early, or else they take over the place like they do on reddit.

Nah, that election was rigged. Try again, Nazi.

As opposed to republicans that elected a 34 count felon, court-certified rapist, pedophile president? Party of law and order, am I right? Be glad that it's shitty, overpriced EVs they're targeting.

This is setting up for the "plandemic" talk I've been overhearing from the crazy side of my family. Now there's an "other" to point a finger at when Trump's bad decisions allow another unchecked pandemic to happen on his watch.

It's an extremely powerful pattern recognition tool. There are uses for that, but your right that people are going the "if you only have a hammer, everything looks like a nail" route.

Didn't one ai have a lot of false positives because it would say any picture of skin with a ruler in it was cancer? The moment it saw a ruler it responded with cancer because all the data it was fed about confirmed cancers had rulers in them.

It's not even that. The petri dish could sustain the advancement until we could pivot to cleaner/safer things. We just chose not to pivot. The filter (for humans, anyway) is selfishness and greed.

As a single person you'd be pretty good for the rest of your (still probably short) life. But honestly, I think ascribing button pushing to some of these people is a stretch. They know the particular buttons to open their social media, or maybe even access their banking, but any mention of settings and you get a blank look. I see that with every generation now, working in IT. It used to just be the boomers, but tech knowledge seems to have degraded over the years.
