This is one long strawmen: you’re generalizing my argument for this single situation to every situation.
You’re basically accusing me of doing what you’re doing: thinking in black and white. In my case if I think that ruining his life here with severe punishment is wrong, it must always be wrong.
Ask yourself this. Is there anyone who did something very stupid in HS that turned out to be a good adult without facing severe consequences for their actions? I can think of a few.
Common or not, they did not make the argument. You presumed a position and then used that made up position to launch an ad hominem.
A kid was arrested, but released pending further investigation, so I’m hard pressed to believe there is no punishment for this. But we’re talking about teenagers here, the fact that he could be punished is there, but was not given serious consideration if any at all…because he isn’t a fully mature adult. So what would a more serious punishment do?
This is something probably solved with education rather than more punishment.
The human mind doesn’t even really fully mature until your mid 20s. A 15 year old still has a good full decade until full maturity, and they are notorious for making impulsive decisions without realizing the consequences of their actions.
What he did was wrong and he deserves punishment, but ruining his life too for being a dumb teenager does nothing for the unimaginable harm caused to this girl, it just makes more victims.
I don’t know what the right answer is, but I can tell you the wrong answer is to ruin a teenagers life over a stupid act when that isn’t going to solve anything.
Ultimately I’m not sure where I fall on this issue, but the fact that you just mindlessly claimed that this person wants to see tits and clits, when they said nothing of the sort, just exposes how fully you realize you can’t defend an actual position.
And they’ll find out very soon that they need devs when they actually try to test something and nothing works.
Anyone who claims llms are a nothingburger is frankly wrong,
Exactly. When someone says that it either indicates to me that they ignorant (like they aren’t a programmer or haven’t used it) or they are a programmer who has used it, but are not good at all at integrating new tools into their development process.
Don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Yup. The problem I see now is that every mistake an ai makes is parroted over and over here and held up as an example of why the tech is garbage. But it’s cherry picking. Yes, they make mistakes, I often scratch my head at the ai results from Google and know to double check it. But the number of times it has pointed me in the right direction way faster than search results has shown to me already how useful it is.
Due to confusing business domain terms, we often name variables the form of XY and YX.
One time copilot autogenerated about two hundred lines of a class that was like. XY; YX; XXY; XYX; XYXY; … XXYYXYXYYYXYXYYXY;
It was pretty hilarious.
But that being said, it’s a great tool that has definitely proven to worth the cost…but like with a co-op, you have to check it’s work.
legal verbiage is such a pointless waste and almost unnecessary
Wow. I like the rest of your position, but being precise in language, and understanding what things mean legally is extremely important.
If having no clue what most people need is the metric, were eliminating pretty much everyone from consideration.
I always thought that facebook got a bad rap. I mean, it was stupid, but I always enjoyed it because I could catch up with old friends, who might not be actively in my life at the time, and for that it was special.
However, sometime recently (as in years, I guess) as people have left or become more private, my feed has slowly been taken over by suggested content. It’s always pushed front and center. Literally unavoidable because there is no setting to say “don’t suggest anything to me.” and no matter how often you hide shit, they’ll just keep feeding more. I’ve all but completely abandoned using facebook now…I just go on to check my local buy nothing group, or post things myself. Occasionally I go to see what stupid shit my previous good friend, who got totally sucked into Trump world, is saying.
It’s not making fun of the lifestyle, it’s the the fact that people who partake in these things seemingly bring it up for no reason.
But honestly I can’t remember the last time a vegan brought up being a vegan for no reason. While here on lemmy it seems every opportunity someone has to claim Linux superiority, no matter how weak, they have to let everyone know how “objectively better” they are.
Is equating Linux users to vegans a thing? I came to the conclusion (I thought) on my own…but now reading this here I’m questioning that conclusion
Oh, I’m sorry, I should have been clear that people getting fooled by him was not limited to conspiracy theorists. It’s just who I heard it the most from where there was some conspiracy among big tech to silence dissenting opinions and he would save us from it.
Remember when all the conspiracy theorists were cheering elons take over of twitter because it meant free speech? I do. Also remember how pretty much none of them is complaining about his control of the platform now. It’s almost like they never really cared about free speech in the first place, but only their own.
No worries.
From his description, his experience was very “on rails” too, but just including cases where the “rails” very conspicuously were making it so he couldn’t see what was going on around him.
But this doesn’t really answer my question. I’m not saying his experience matches that of a citizen or even that it was accurate. I have no idea I wasn’t there. In fact, it was kind of the exact opposite and that it being “on rails” and only being able to see what they wanted him to see, probably is not at all what citizens live. Kind of the point that they were trying to hide how citizens live.
Which leads me back to my question again. . .you claim we have it all wrong, and my good friend’s experience kind of confirms (as much as he was allowed to) how secretive and weird they are. . .so where is your claim coming from and what is it based on?
Could you go into detail? I’m interested in hearing your take on this and what it comes from. For reference, I have a good friend (with a stupid amount of money) who loves to travel. Having kind of exhausted all of the typical places, and wanting to do something different, he decides to go to North Korea.
His stories are that it was absolutely as bizarre as he was expecting and how he had zero freedom and everything was perfectly controlled so he could only see what they would allow him to see, including being moved around in vans that didn’t have windows when they were going outside of the city where he was staying.
There are some things you don’t joke about, taco bell actually being Mexican food is one of them. It might be a war crime to even joke it’s better than Mexican food.
I have kids and sometimes it’s important thing from a doctor/school/whatever that I want to get.
However, I’m lucky that my cell phone area code is nowhere near where I live, so if I see an area code near my phones area code, I know it’s almost certainly spam. If I get a call from near where I live, its almost certainly legitimate.
