Personally, I’m excited there’s a decentralized option that’s super popular. Yes, relatively very few run their own PDS, but if the main bsky instance becomes a problem for anyone, people can easily migrate.

It’s not just data ownership either; The AT protocol supports community-built algorithms, relays, and app views.

Dr. Blitz called Simulation Theory religion for tech bros and I can’t get it out of my head 😅

Honestly, AI trained on successful governance and social satisfaction would be a better president than what we have know. Then again, so would my cat.

humor is subjective

Looks awesome to me ngl

Still an odd accusation to me… How does that privilege say anything about ego, given that history probably won’t remember the renamers specifically?

Um. The names aren’t being replaced with other personal names, and even if they were, it’s certainly not with the names of the people doing the replacement.

From what I’ve seen, a lot of the motivation to not have peoples’ names attached to things is because people have things attached to them (such as racism). Not saying that’s every case, but I’m sure that’s a significant factor behind the general push.

I read a paper once about how even if someone born blind could suddenly “see,” their brain still wouldn’t know what to do with the information.

Some birb names have recently been changed, but it was more about reversing racial stereotypes. The tits and bananaquits got to stay

I feel like Vivek Ramaswamy bought ancient political data and trained into 2011GPT.

A melting pot is a monocultural metaphor for a heterogeneous society becoming more homogeneous, the different elements “melting together” with a common culture

Yes, as opposed to moving towards a diverse, multicultural, heterogeneous society, isn’t it?

“Melting pot” is a reduction of diversity.

Maybe I should correct my statement to “generally used by conservatives,” instead of saying it’s specifically a conservative term.

The funny thing is that “melting pot” is generally a conservative term, often used to deny the value of diversity.

Dopamine levels in the reward system are affected by novelty. Novelty is often important to pay attention to when it comes to survival, which is likely why this thrill of the “new” is conserved across many species.
