  • Where are you getting the idea that github is open source? GitHub CAN host open source software… and git is open source. GitHub is a website that allows people to upload content… and the source code is not open, and controlled by microsoft.

    Now as far as whether usernames are changable on actual opensource websites… that’s also not a given. That’s a matter of if the software chooses to allow it. If the website doesn’t, you are welcome to take the source code, edit the source code to make it possible, and host your own copy of it. But nothing in open source inherently means you have any more control of an open source website that’s hosted outside of your machine/servers than a closed source one.


  • Mental health is pretty under-diagnosed clinically and overdiagnosed regularly. I mean for starters things like autism are well a huge ass spectrum. I’ve never been diagnosed with it, though I certainly have a ton of traits that… well really make sense for it now that I can look at it.

    Would also say a large part of the problem is… everythings under-diagnosed clinically in the states because… all forms of healthcare are fricking expensive. So you can spend hundreds to get a doctors appointment to find out that you have it, and, either get a prescription that’s also very expensive, or deal with it as you have been so far, and of course the irony that, if you haven’t been succesful at dealing with it on your own, you probably have had a harder time working a job, and thus, are in a much worse position to afford the doctors and prescription.

    Bottom line every policy platner is calling for, is the exact opposite of nazi rhetoric. Meanwhile musk is retweeting great replacement theory posts and bolstering white suppremicist groups.

    In a vacume I’d have given musks Nazi salute a pass. Symbols can be mistaken and mis-given. Were it not at a time when he… literally was not just not banning, or unbanning white supremacists on twitter, but explicitly re-tweeting and bolstering them as well, it wouldn’t have meant much.




  • lol the amount of times I’ve seen AI do.

    No wait that’s wrong try this

    Oh wait that’s also wrong that still doesn’t work try this.

    No still wouldn’t do it.

    On just questions without asking it to correct itself, (which tells me internally they have some kind of… basically reviewing it’s own answers before they go out.

    Honestly I do wonder if we’ll get there

    a hello world program would just spin back and forth “Rejected demanded these fixes”, Rejected making it more like the original, rejected. retrying

    “you have spent your entire $50,000 token budget… would you like to restock and keep going”.



  • Double down with that, with googles new plans for gemini to overtake search… they really are going that direction… combining that with musks currently failing but obvious goal to make grok agree with right wing concepts. It’s really quite a terrifying end direction. Especially when you think of the end result of the AI replacing search on the long term of things. Because the chilling effect it has IF it works. IE say if google actually correctly agregates everything on the internet, and even IF it perfectly differentiates truth from BS. What happens to the places that actually do the work to get that truth, when people don’t click to their pages. No ads or subscriptions, means they get nothing, which means they eventually go bankrupt, and thus no new information gets fed to the AIs, and the only ones that are left to make pages to give new sources, are governments and corporations that have motive to convince the data lords to see them favorably.



  • I’m not going to post photos of my friends here for their own privacy. Duh.

    Just a note here lol, this is lemmy, generally speaking, Putting something AI, automatically puts everyone into a dislike position.

    Second I’d say the agreed concept here… it being AI… means it’s only your interpretation of their style, what to you is normal may or may not stand out massively to your parents, maybe not. If there actually is a detail that you think is normal, but is a huge red flag to your parents we wouldn’t have access to that. So in short, the pic is useless no matter what, you may as well have just given a vague description of it to us. (Hell just whatever prompt you gave to AI would probably have been just as good),

    anyway as far as that goes, it doesn’t really matter I guess, maybe your parents have a weird bias against a certain dress style, or maybe some prejudice. Or maybe there’s a swastika tattoo on each of your friends foreheads that you’ve just never noticed.









  • I mean, “rich kids” itself is kind of just an extension of what they are allowed to have, and what is officially considered their possesions. I think biological vs step is a meaningless extension. Say you are one of Elon Musks huge wave of kids, you are as rich as whatever payoffs he gave the mother, provided the mother actually spends it on you. Or one of the russian hookers or whatever the heck gates was up to you may very well be poor as hell.

    You can have rich parents that you stay with, but they spend less on you than your average barely making ends meet family.
