Don’t get to excited about 1%

NdGT points out that 1% difference in DNA has within it somewhere the difference between chimps and humans. Think about that 1% between us and the post humans that come after us, or aliens that are out there already.

Is the advice something along the lines of once you have a couple years of relevant experience start looking for a new job that needs that experience?

Because that’s how you get good increases in income at least in your early career.

Later on you’ll hit a plateau of sorts where changing employers to get a raise is trickier because they’re concerned about paying too much for you to come on board, so your job search will take a bit longer. But someone will probably hire you eventually for a good sized increase.

The to level comment here is correct that it’s more dangerous on average for a woman being abused by a man than the other way around, but you’re correct her that Google should just suggest domestic violence help for anyone.

Also these days there are quite a few men out there with husbands…

I’d make phenomenal amounts of money available to states to implement gun safety legislation at the state level. Red flag laws, domestic violence, background checks, training requirements, locks & storage, etc.

If I have enough Congressional support I’d do head-to-toe Article III reform, add a bunch of courts at every level, maybe add a level between the appellate and supreme, and get a couple more Justices on SCOTUS to cover the added workload of supervising the courts at the level below SCOTUS. There’s currently more circuits than Justices so a couple of them have responsibility to review multiple jurisdictions which I think makes for… challenges.

I went through my comment history and changed all my comments with 100+ karma to a bunch of nonsense I found on the Internet, mostly from bots posting YouTube comments. It’s mostly English words so it shouldn’t get discarded for being gibberish. But they didn’t make coherent information. I was sad to see some of my posts go away but I don’t want to feed the imitative AI.

Also did the first 6 pages of my “controversial” comments.

I know they have backups, but that’s why I didn’t simply delete them. Hopefully these edited versions get into the training set and fuck it up, even if only a little.

It’s be funny if someone could come up with a “drop table” post that would maybe make it into the set…

Also it looks like she’s reading Revelation so that’s on brand

If we can’t really define “understand” in a way that meaningfully captures the concept of consciousness (also undefined), we definitely can’t say a chat bot “understands.”

They can parse a chat and come up with a likely response that humans find applicable.

I’m all in on the labor theory of value. It’s gonna be a long haul to displace all the people who believe value is created by magic in the market, though.

It’s the hand these lawyers have been dealt to try to make this argument fly. They are duty bound to provide the best representation they can for their client, and if somehow this completely bonkers argument wins the day, I think that’s pretty much it for American democracy.

Or Biden has all this on standby just in case…

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world am I blocked by any instances on lemmy?

The answer is “vote” but not just once. Not just for federal elections. Every election, you should be there. Show up to candidate forums and bother your current electeds.

Every government is like a ship of various size, it takes a while to see the turn even start, let alone have the course actually get corrected. The bigger the government, the harder it can be to get long lasting positive change accomplished. (This isn’t a “small government is better” thing either, it’s just how large organizations work.)

If you can, run for office. If you can’t, find someone you trust who can and support them. Not just Congress or president or governor. City council, county government, school board, on and on…

It would be foolish to start mentioning it too early in the campaign. He’ll probably start doing it, or more likely have surrogates do it, around March.

I dunno the front page seems way lower quality than it was before we left. Like not just a little.

I basically only go there for the two stupid flash games I play on my phone and sometimes a Google search ends up with reddit as the best answer. Otherwise I don’t go. I used to go there dozens of times per day.

At my last visit I made a joke about this and the hygienist said if I had flossed every day for 2 weeks before she would’ve been fooled.

The dad joke answer would’ve been to tell me that the only way to really fool them is to floss regularly for 6 months before a visit…

If I thought the people who run for profit hospitals and insurance companies had human souls, I’d say they should be made to do this work so they could maybe see that it shouldn’t be about profit.

But then I remembered they’re all non-human garbage who should be first up against the wall in the revolution.

Doctors should be left out of this. It’s not their fault America (and probably some third world countries) allow profit driven medicine.

Twitter is now primarily made of hate

I will legit try to find countries with constitutions and parliaments that I could relocate to to live and work. The American constitutional Republic will be over if Trump becomes President again.

He’ll certainly start his retribution with the big fish of anti Trump people and organizations, but it won’t take long for it to “trickle down” to everyday people as well.

I’m lucky enough that it’s feasible for me to find work in my field outside the US. Others aren’t so lucky.

The problem honestly is your concept of hormones is incomplete. There are no hormones that only do one thing. They might have a primary function. But they all have secondary and tertiary functions. They all regulate other hormones. Evolution doesn’t do single functions.

If you knock down a “fight” hormone you’re probably going to mess up the homeostasis of the body in other ways. You can probably “fix” that artificially, but you’ll be constantly chasing the next side effect. Humans are chemical Rube Goldberg machines of infinite order. Disrupt one thing and it all goes out of whack.

Wait… do capitalists genuinely think workers derive positive feelings of some sort from the idea that we’re increasing shareholder value?

I mean, I definitely think in terms of increasing shareholder value, but only because that’s what keeps me employed and sometimes gets me bonuses and raises. I know that if I stop increasing shareholder value long enough I’ll get canned.

But at no point have I ever looked at the stock price of my multinational, gigantic corporate employer and felt happy or proud or whatever this schmuck must think we (used to? should?) feel.

For QWERTY users this is a problem
