    Yeah was going to say, there’s certainly aversion to tech that can be paralleled assuming AI has a positive future state. But yeah, WIFI, Cellphones, television, radio waves, all things people feared without propor understanding, that are now standard parts of reality.

    If hypothetically AI etc… gets close to actual sentience, artificial life may begin the culture war of attempting for personhood, fight for rights etc… in which case there will be a discussion, and assuming like all past personhood battles in the end AI is decided to have reached actual status of living… then yes those who are late to the bandwaggon and continuing to fight will be viewed just like our racists homophobes etc… But there is very little evidence that any current day AI has anything resembling feelings, wants desires etc… and just because this may be the predicessor to an AI that will. doesn’t make hating chatgpt any worse than hating a doorbell.

    Hell if somehow we were to discover say chatgpt actually has sentience right now in it’s current used form… no one could be favorable in the current view, as even the staunchest supporters of AI, are only looking at it as slave work etc… There’s not even room or a case for letting AI’s be free for life, liberty and the pursuit of happyness (which, is because with our understandings none of those are applicable to it).


  • The actual history of the meme… it started as an MS paint sketch where they were looking to a flat earth. With just the first saying “WTF it’s flat” one behind saying “sorry fam”. The more popular follow up was one where they were looking, except the only land mass on earth was a giant state of ohio, and second astronaut responded with “always has been”.

    Oh as far as the idea that they didn’t look at it in transit, no idea… though I suppose it’s more reasonable that this is the first spacewalk or whatever. Would imagine most the trip up, you’d be looking ahead rather than back at earth. Also I suppose depends on the subtletly or lack there of of what earth is “all”.






  • I also second that having 2 days off in a row, is better to recharge.

    Now as far as making them not the weekend…

    Pros:

    Great for all the millions of takes forever tasks that can only be done durring business hours… need to update your drivers license, have any taxes, negotiate with the bank on things, or anything else that can only be done mon-friday in business hours… fricking awesome ease of options.

    As also mentioned, socializing is the drawback… want to meet with a friend, date etc… well that’s a bit less fun, best bet is to do it on a worknight but still be ready to come home early enough to not be dead on your ass at work.





  • is that harmful for my future job opportunities?? what if a company wants to see my iq and they see 86

    Has any job interview you’ve ever gone to ever asked for an IQ? I’ve never heard of it, and it sounds like a crazy stupid idea for anyone to go for. You like linux, you’ve programmed websites. The bullshit test that your employers are going to care about are certifications. Look around at job opportunities in your area (or if you are lucky remote), see what certs are most commonly demanded, and focus on getting them. In addition whatever you go for, try and get some hands on experiences in them, projects etc… whether it’s personal.

    Or say if web development is the direction you want to go… then try and find a friend or family member that needs a web site or project made… make them a “client” so that you can claim it as “work experience”.

    Honestly in my experience in IT… generally speaking when it comes to getting a job, in order of value “work experience” > Certifications > Primary education (IE Degree/diploma).

    IQ test, I’ve never once in my life come across that question coming up… just don’t advertise it and most likely no one will ever care.


  • I’m sure some are… but I would say certainly seems to be a much larger percentage that prioritize their hatred of trans… and don’t seem to do a lot of actual reach in protecting women.

    Big thing is the terf label or stereotype is generally assumed to try to make it look like you are fighting for a group, rather than fighting against. Lets say hypothetically I’m claiming to be super in favor of protecting birds, and say that I hate wind farms because they kill birds

    If you never once hear me talk about house cats, or poachers, or any of 500 other things that can kill birds, you’ll pretty quickly catch on that I’m not actually pro-bird. Especially if I start reposting statistics about wind farms that have already been debunked etc…

    Well these are D&D based stats… generally speaking, doesn’t quite fit the rules of reality. IE int would give a bonus to knowledge nature, in addition to increasing skill points allowing you to put points into it. (or in 5e inteligence (nature)), either way in pretty much all iterations the skills tend to be leveled by going out and adventuring. (A DM might grant a circumstance bonus if your character had specifically done some kind of teaching related to the subject, but the rules as written effectively having high int gives a bonus on the chance of knowing something, even if the character hasn’t seen a plant or a classroom in years.
