Yeah, one real concern is that bottom-of-the-barrel lawyers will continue to just use their $20/month chatGPT subscription, and not something more lawyer-centric that will (eventually) be able to weed out the true stupidity almost 100% of the time.

Maybe that was the case 20 years ago, but today there native son Gen-X and Millennial shits are voting just as hard R as the old folks used to. I’ve been here the whole time and watched the whole state transition from “haha” dumb to “dude, wtf?” dumb.

When this happens to me it’s usually a cloudflare problem. Sometimes it fixes itself in a day or two. A few times it has been broken for weeks and I’ve had to use a VPN to reach it.

I’m pretty sure it’s choice as in “choose your weapon,” and not “muh freedoms”. Either way tho, material from a magazine literally called Car and Driver seems a bit low effort for this community :)

As long as we haven’t already hit any of the important tipping points that cause runaway effects of their own, right? (Eg methane clathrates, minimum albedo, etc)

Humans will almost certainly bring a solution. Might not be a good one for most people though.

We can also be the solution.

There are more options than just capitalism (and especially the weird kind of klepto-capitalism that we're falling into globally now).

It's John Henry all over again. Dębiak should make sure he gets some proper R&R now, just to be safe.

Too close to home.

Fun fact: the protein-digesting enzyme bromelain is found in pineapples. So in some sense, while you're eating the pineapple, the pineapple is eating you . Do with that what you will.

Give yourself some credit! Your human-level intelligence is only using about 20W. The other 80 is for the meat robot it has to pilot to get stuff done.

I think the main one is that Nostr is supposed to be really simple, and derive some security/privacy from that simplicity. Whereas ATProto and ActivityPub store and forward content so that each rely has a copy, on Nostr nodes the messages are all ephemeral. So it has something of a following with crypto bros and privacy enthusiasts. With nostr IDs are also based on public/private keys unlike ATProto/ActivityPub that use a username@instancename scheme, so signing and identifying content that belongs to a user is easier and more guaranteed to be correct, and your username isn't tied to any specific server "instance"
