It wasn't just commercial activity. Money changers were charging a fee to buy shekels which people could use to buy an animal to sacrifice at the temple. Jesus was mad because the idea of inserting yourself as a middleman to extort money from people seeking salvation was basically blasphemy.

From comedy to tragedy!

It takes more time to make sure the summary isn't a hallucination than it takes to just write notes.

Every waiter can do it live without AI for 10 drunk idiots at the same time. Every doctor I've ever known just takes notes as we went without ever slowing the interaction down.

This tool cannot help and can only harm, using AI in medicine practically violates the Hippocratic oath doctors take.

Yeah, or perhaps there is no need to make up excuses for the Copyright Infringement, world bruning, infinite lying machine lying about what text is real vs generated by it. LLMs lie, LLM based LLM detectors lie about lies.

I never said a sex shop was going to be bad, I mostly said the opposite. I used it as an example that when a child walks into a physical space meant for adults, the community helps. When a child walks into a digital space meant for adults it's expected their parent was watching at all times and failed.

I also completely agree with your assessment of good and bad places/neighborhoods being often used as a cover for classism and racism.

That being said there are places near here I would not let young kids play unsupervised because of the crime rate, homelessness and open drug use. There are places near here I do let kids of an appropriate age okay unsupervised because they are nice safe parks and areas even if they're poor neighborhoods. In fact some of these I feel are safer because there are more kids playing and parents aren't shy to tell other kids off when they misbehave like they are in "rich" neighbourhoods.

Same with people's houses. Obviously looking for "shared values" can be a cover for racism, but I'm not a cis-white-straight-nt-male looking for a socio-normative house. I'm not looking for them to be white and rich, I'm looking for parents who care about their kids without being too helicopter-y.

I think you read my message backwards. I meant to say that physical spaces are usually safe for kids even the spaces meant to be adults only. In digital spaces we accomplished the opposite where most spaces are dangerous, even "kids spaces". But instead of seeing this as a problem caused purposefully by the companies creating and curating these spaces to maximize profit and right wing ideology, we blame only parents for not micro managing their kids. I see digital hypervigilant supervision as a parenting survival strategy rather than a good long term solution. We need more control over our algorithms and digital spaces so that they're safe-by-default like physical spaces are.

If you take the limit of that you'll realize that people won't raise if you turn it off either.

You can see the satellites. Pretty much all satellite orbits are public due to the nature of satellites being in space where we can all see them. When a country's military satellites pass over a specific location multiple times then that location gets precision bombed everyone knows exactly what happened.

There are significant benefits to indirect communication that far outweigh the benefits of direct communication. This concept is best captured by Douglas Adams in the famous

"Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different race and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."

I hear this a lot, but you have to put it in context. It used to be you could let your kids play outside in a nice neighbourhood. Your job as a parent was to make sure they went to play in a nice neighbourhood and at the houses of decent people. You could easily keep them away from bad places physically because they were separate places. Your neighbours would also tell you if they saw your kid in a bad place or being up to no good.

The Internet destroys that concept. The good and the bad are one link away, you need constant vigilance and you have almost no help. It's not healthy to micromanage your children's media consumption. It's like helicopter parents who never let their kids free. Setting this as the expectation isn't healthy.

I mean we don't really have a choice, but acting like it's okay for YouTube to lure my young kids into red pill content, or weird AI nonsense is pretty weird. Why are we just accepting this reality, should we not have some control over our algorithms. It's basically what our neighbourhood used to be. Why are we saying it's okay for YouTube to lure kids into dangerous content, and that is every parent's job to constantly micromanage their kids media consumption as if that's healthy parenting? It's SURVIVAL parenting, not healthy parenting!

We should be able to control our algorithms and help our kids control their algorithms because the solution isn't constant fear and vigilance lest we get taken by the billionaire class and their dangerous ideology.

It's not normal that we created a space so fundamentally unsafe for kids. Very few physical spaces are like this in real life and I think you should try to imagine what would happen if a kid walked into a "non-kid" space like a sex shop or whatever. Because it's not let the kid have unlimited access to porn and kink while we blame the parents. It's usually a human worker working with the kid to get back to safety (usually their parents).

The point this is trying to make is good, but this isn't exactly healthy sexuality either.

A lot of these words happen frequently during consensual foreplay and sex, especially when you add kink and most people would be quite upset if their partner just stopped and refused to continue because "wait means no and no doesn't mean convince me".

It's hard to strike the line between stern and strict anti-rape messaging and healthy and open sexuality and I don't feel like this clothing brand ad hits the spot.

Arguing against adblocker and for YouTube premium is the most center of the bell curve IQ meme take I've ever heard.

"100k of them" very humanizing language. "Most of the apps were fraudulent" I guess innocent until proven guilty doesn't apply to "them"

God Lemmy.ca is turning into a neo-fascist shithole like /r/canada. What a shame
