To be honest I’d feel stupid saying that alout at anyone. They’re not called that in my native language - I think.

Both spoons are the same size. Different size ones wouldn’t fit together like that.

It only sounds bad to the fringest of the fringe that’s deceivingly loud on twitter. Good luck trying to find even one real person thinking those terms should be changed. This kind of stuff is why people vote for Trump.

By using Lemmy we’re already filtering out certain people and opinions. I personally think that the more control we have over what we see, the better. I don’t think it’s opposing views people want to filter out. It’s the ones having those views and being dicks about it.

Unavoidably so but then again, going sideways because of a downvote is just more data on who you might want to block.

Echo chamber within echo chamber I guess.

It’s not the people whose opinions I disagree with who I usually block. It’s people making snide comments like this while fishing for upvotes. I’ll reserve my attention to the ones who have something to say rather than ones just wanting to make noise.

If this mean we’d be able to see who has up- / downvoted a comment on our own and possibly on other people’s posts then I’m all for it. This would be highly useful at filtering out the people here I want nothing to do with.

AI will be only be able to produce art that already exists or realism.

Well, that is not true at all.

Generative AI isn’t just limited to imitating or copying existing art. It’s fully capable of creating original pieces, much like humans do. Sure, AI models learn from large datasets of existing art, but that doesn’t mean they’re limited to mere copying. Instead, they take these inputs, find patterns, blend concepts, and can then generate something entirely new. This isn’t too different from how human artists operate. They too absorb influences from the world and other pieces of art and generate new ones based on that. Nobody is creating art in a vacuum.

The additional benefit AI has is not being tied down by existing concepts. Human creativity often gets shaped by cultural trends or personal experiences, but AI can step outside those constraints, giving us a fresh take on art and creativity in ways that many human artists can’t. Not to even mention that you need a human in the loop to write the prompt. AI doesn’t create art alone no more than a paint brush does.

The way I think about it is that we’re all “snowflakes”. No two people are exactly the same. So while one can correctly claim to be unique that also applies to everyone else. It’s not like everyone else is the same but you’re unique. Also, being unique doesn’t automatically mean someone is better than others - one can also be uniquely bad.

I haven’t claimed it doesn’t imply fragility too. Just that the uniqueness is the primary meaning of it - thus the term snowflake. “I’m unique and thus deserving of special treatment”

If it was primarily about fragility then we’d probably be using some other term as that is not generally the first feature that comes to mind about snowflakes.

Wikipedia and most dictionary definitions talk about uniqueness. Each snowflake is unique. That’s what most people mean by it.

Snowflake is a derogatory slang term for a person, implying that they have an inflated sense of uniqueness, an unwarranted sense of entitlement, or are overly emotional, easily offended, and unable to deal with opposing opinions.

You are not special. You are not beautiful or unique snowflake. Quote from the novel “Fight Club”

It doesn’t. It implies that being unique is a bad thing.

That’s not at all obvious to me. I think recommendation algorithms are much more likely to provide you content you dont agree with than you’re to search for it yourself.

What if I disagree with the premise?

A calorie deficit is literally the only way to burn fat. Your body won’t touch its fat deposits if it’s getting enough energy from the food you eat. Working out has a limited effect on the amount of fat you burn. It’s all about how much you eat. If visible abs are what you’re after, that means dieting so that your body fat percentage gets low enough. The reason we lift while dieting is to preserve the muscle mass. By just dieting you’re going to lose both fat and muscle.

Fat burns evenly throught your entire body. It’s pretty much impossible to focus that on any specific part.

If your fat percentage is high enough then no amount of training will give you visible abs. On the other hand; if it’s low enough you’ll get visible abs with zero training.

Every single person looking like that uses steroids

In my view, it would be naive to assume that killing Hitler before he became Chancellor would guarantee the prevention of the atrocities that followed, and it might even pose the risk of something worse happening. Events don’t occur in a vacuum. It’s similar to how dropping nukes on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were horrific events in themselves, but who’s to say those events aren’t the reason nukes have never been used in warfare since? Preventing those bombings might have saved the people in those cities, but it also might have significantly lowered the bar for using nukes, increasing the chance of a true nuclear holocaust during the Cold War, for example.

So maybe time travel is possible, and someone did try to change history by killing Hitler, but then realized the outcome was even worse. Now, they needed an additional assassin to deal with the first one.

In case you’ve ever wondered what’s going on in the minds of Q-Anons, now you know.
