What doe the capital letters (eg ACC) in the translations refer too?

Did… did you just get triggers by the idea that somebody might have used Ai?

Do you need help? Is the big bad Ai in the room with us right now?

This is so fucking cringe that it hurts my brain every time they say it.

Would accessibility be a solution here? I am speaking about public transport that has dedicated spaces for wheelchairs, has ramps to get on and off etc., as well as sidewalks that are accesibil by wheelchairs, with a smith surface and ramps to get on and off to. Maybe combine that with lifts to access pedestrian subways and overbrides.

Possibly it could also mean the ability to rent, best case for free and at a place reachable by public transport with very little or no walking, a wheelchair or a simiiular solution that let’s one drive rather then walk.

I’m just thinking loud, but maybe such solutions should be considered in every walkable city.

And this is it. This is how we arrived where we are now.

Nature? KILL IT! EXTERMINATE IT!

We’ve spend 2000 years slowly beeting nature to our wims. It has destroyed the planets ecosystem on a scale only seen by planet wide desasters in the past. We have driven countless species into extinction, and still counting. We take without any regard or resecpt for anything then our own needs.

That is exactly the mindset the comment I am replying to has to me.

I agree completely.

It comes down to wanting the best for yourself and only for yourself. There can’t be any other motivation for destroying a whole planet in order to get a live with vastly more money than you could ever spend.

Let’s say it’s a postmodern interpretation of the meme idea.

This is the Paper that started it. They used some (at the time) new techniques to 3d model an old fossil they had, if I recall it correctly.

When AI would have been the better choice.

Also pretending that 4000 years ago humans were still hunter gatherers or something (it’s kind of implied in the wording imo). 4000 years ago there were plenty of fairly developed civilisations around.

The Fedverse works in mysterious ways 🤷

Beeing honest about mistakes you make is way better than trying to deflect or lie about them. This is true in professional and in social settings.

Own up to your mistakes, try to correct them and be open about you fucking up. Most people will respect that more than you trying to be Mr or Ms Perfect.

Have a source from me then.

Considering what we have done and are doing to the planet and life on it, we should have better just put that rock right back where it was.

Some just use their hands…

Look at it, it’s cuts as hell. (I’ll hide it behind a spoiler tag. A phobia is a phobia, after all)

That would be nice, wouldn’t it? I am less optimistic, given the way the world is going. It it would be nice.

The declaration:

The New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness

Which animals have the capacity for conscious experience? While much uncertainty remains, some points of wide agreement have emerged.

First, there is strong scientific support for attributions of conscious experience to other mammals and to birds.

Second, the empirical evidence indicates at least a realistic possibility of conscious experience in all vertebrates (including reptiles, amphibians, and fishes) and many invertebrates (including, at minimum, cephalopod mollusks, decapod crustaceans, and insects).

Third, when there is a realistic possibility of conscious experience in an animal, it is irresponsible to ignore that possibility in decisions affecting that animal. We should consider welfare risks and use the evidence to inform our responses to these risks.

I am not very well read in political theory, but I would agree with the idea that capitalism HAS to end in crisis because exponancial groth just can’t be sustained.

I would further point out that, to my limited knowledge, capitalism is a (or even the) root cause of the current climate crisis (altough things like humans inability to solve long term problems, as well as other factors come into play too. After all, things like the ozon hole have been solved even under a capitalist system).

Thanks a lot :-). Will be another couple of days max.
