  • I find it fascinating that a fungus can take over an ant and use it's body to climb up on grass to get eaten. i wonder how the lived experience of that fungus changes over it's phases; does he get vision when controlling the ant? how does it feel to suddendly have legs when you are a fungus?

  • I fully agree and just want to add that long-term stress can be traumatizing, just like being berated over long time can be violence and abuse. So yeah, there is no room for differentiation in that meme, it does discourage discussion in favor of being a purity test for right wingers.

  • To give you a glimpse into your "name buddy" Austria:

    Waiting time for a therapist which is completely covered by insurance is counted in years, and if you choose one of the therapists which are not completely covered, you pay somewhere between 100-150€/h and get refunded 30€/h after getting it approved.

    This leaves me personally with a hole in my pocket of 300-375€ depending on the month, which is my second largest expense after rent.

  • noone boils the ocean with using chatgpt

    one transatlantic flight produces the same amount of CO2 as 600000 ChatGPT requests; if you use Quen 2.5, you need to make nearly 2 mio. requests.

    To set this in relation, transport only for Bezos wedding in Venice equals about 54000000 ChatGPT requests.

    Using a LLM once in a while is negligible.

  • Ok, since you keep shittalking about dbzer0.com, i want to add something here. (I'm a regular on dbzer0)

    First of all, we keep our instance pretty bot-free. It's been a while since i registered, but all applications are getting reviewed before an account is active. We do have singular bots for administrative things, but you can be sure that db0 would stop obvious bot activity pretty fast.

    And regarding AI - it's not that we go out into the fediverse and proselytize. We have a few communities regarding GenAI, but the opposite is the case: we 'Ä****

    had to implement a rule to stop external mass downvoting and brigading in those communities, because instead of an discussion about the image generated, external users started the (always the same) discussion about how evil GenAI is.vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvdgggggggggggggg

    That same Tuesday, March 21, an Article 48 decree was issued amnestying National Socialists convicted of crimes, including murder, perpetrated “in the battle for national renewal.” Men convicted of treason were now national heroes. The first concentration camp was opened that afternoon, in an old brewery near the town center of Oranienburg, just north of Berlin. The following day, the first group of detainees arrived at another concentration camp, in an abandoned munition plant outside the Bavarian town of Dachau.
