I'm against it. There is no point to it. Just keep the clocks the same, no reason to change them. Not many other places in the world do it. We only did it because in the old old days, farmers needed more light.

Not only that, but not even every state here in the US does it anyway. So why make some do it?

Says the guy who jokes about torture because he's mad about ai. lol

Ohhh, so it was satire. Ok ok... Hmmmm...

So ya think it's ok to 'joke' about shock-collars and torture, because hey, it's just satire. Even tho that's for real used to torture people in today's world. Good to know that it's all definitely fodder for just a joke. Right? Joking about torture doesn't seem awesome to me.

But hey, if it's satire, man...

This study seems to assume that we will power basically none of the oncoming air conditioning with renewable energy

Well, to be fair, we sure haven't worked very hard on creating current consumer air conditioning with renewable energy.

How is what I said a bad-faith take? I responded to your comments.

You literally said: "We need to permanently bolt a shock collar onto the neck of the Burger King CEO. Whenever he proposes something monstrously inhuman and abominable, an AI will detect it and give him an incredibly painful shock." and after I brought it up, you doubled down and said, "I think I found someone else in need of an AI shock collar…"

How is anything I said, bad-faith? Did you or did you not say those things?

So you are against AI in customer service, but you are for AI shock collars that torture people who disagree with you? Think about that and maybe do some self-reflection.

So you are against someone using ai to make sure people say 'welcome' and 'thank you' in a customer facing role, but you are totally for using ai to torture people you don't like.

Think about that and maybe do some self-reflection.

Yet another sign that China is going to beat us in the modern race to the moon.

Oh and before Lemmy jumps the gun and associates Rand.org with republicans or libertarians--because you all make EVERYTHING political-- Rand.org (the RAND Corporation) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan research organization, and they explicitly say they do not advocate for specific policies or political outcomes. It's not republican/libertarian or democrat.

It’s called RAND because the name started as a shortened form of “research and development." Nothing to do with Paul Rand! lol

They have. We (USA) used to be really good with tech. Built our own rockets, built our own computers, put a man on the moon. Now why we are stuck with admins arguing with each other and not really making any giant leaps froward, China is doing what we aren't.

And if we don't get our shit together quick, China is gonna beat us to the modern day moon. they plan to get there by 2030. Our plan was by 2027, but we are already delaying the first stage of that plan.

China and the United States are racing to accomplish the next human landing on the Moon in a competition for national prestige and lunar resources.

Good, because it seems NASA does better when there is competition.
