Oh boy, I bet the comments on this one will be useful.

I like that one, very thorough.

LLMs were trained on our social media feeds, after all…

Yes. I addressed that. Fasten it to flat pieces of stiff material, not to the floor. The stiff material keeps it from curling but can be moved.

I addressed that. I’m not proposing fastening it to the floor.

Use carpet tape (double-sided tape that’s meant for sticking rugs to the floor) to fasten stiff squares of material to the undersides of the corners. The stiff material will keep it from curling, but it won’t be stuck down to the floor so you can still move it.

Would make a good premise for a Fallout-style post-apocalyptic RPG. The quest is to reach the Doomsday clock and set it to 00:00.

Ah, low numbers of seeds. Must’ve just not wanted to wait.

Which, as I said, seems strange. Why don’t those businesses just download the torrents?

Seems strange. Anna’s Archive makes their collection available for bulk download as torrent files, they shouldn’t need to “cut a deal” for access to that. Just download the torrent and now you’ve got the whole collection available locally.

If you look at the numbers in the article the majority “broke even” but significantly more companies experienced gains from AI than experienced losses from AI. The headline is crafted to bait clicks.

Only 12 percent reported both lower costs and higher revenue, while 56 percent saw neither benefit. Twenty-six percent saw reduced costs, but nearly as many experienced cost increases.

So 38% saw benefits from AI, whereas “nearly” 26% saw cost increases from it. One could just as easily write the headline “More companies experience increased benefits from AI than experience increased costs” based on this data but that headline wouldn’t get so many clicks.

I’d consider that a “lose” condition.

It’s possible for everyone to lose a war.

Most Fediverse clients (probably including whichever app you’re using) have a block feature, you can use that on me if you prefer not to see my comments.

I’m not “minimizing” nukes. I’m describing them as they are. I provided sources.

You may not be aware, but many people survived Hiroshima and the city is populated to this day.

Reddit isn’t a court of law, mods don’t really have to follow any particular rules other than “be profitable for Reddit Inc.”

1.a: a comparison of two otherwise unlike things based on resemblance of a particular aspect

This is ridiculously binary thinking. I’m saying it’s not as bad as the person I was responding to thinks it would be, and you’re interpreting that as “it’s fine, there’s no downside”?

Being punched in the face is less bad than being shot. Would you interpret that as “it’s fine to be punched in the face”?

Youtube isn’t the way you think it should be, though.

Currently there are 12,331. These weapons are divided up among many nations, and only a fraction of them are actually “ready to launch” at any given time. If launched most of them will be targeted at military targets, which are often located in remote places - silos in the middle of nowhere, carrier groups out in the ocean, forward military bases or stockpiles, and so forth. They wouldn’t be fired with intent to “wipe out” humanity. There would be entire continents that nobody bothers firing at - why waste precious nukes on countries that are uninvolved in the conflict?

Nuclear winter is no longer thought to be as bad as the most extreme predictions from back in the 1960s. And even with those extreme predictions it still wouldn’t lead to human extinction. Humans are an incredibly robust species. We don’t need infrastructure to survive in harsh conditions. Inuit survived in the arctic for thousands of years without anything fancy, and you’re not going to see conditions that harsh everywhere on Earth regardless.
