Also people getting used to group chat and online games with friends, being able to socialize more effectively made activities like the mall pointless.
That’s why when you go to places where people used to hang out to socialise most people are just on their phones, the phone is better.
At least you can tell where something happens by place names, I get headlines ‘12 shot in Manchester gun fight’ or ‘Birmingham man kills 8 in roadrage incident’ and there’s just no way of telling it’s America… OK, well those examples are obvious but the point stands.
This is a fascinating one.
Some things to consider, a toddler can easily defeat a baby but a 40 and 45 year old are evenly matched. There’s also the question of how much is there to learn, at some point the tech tree is pretty much done - iron is much stronger than brass but maybe light-speed heavy plasma guns are pretty much maxed out and physics simply doesn’t allow more.
This could result in interesting stalemates, a natural limit to the size of conflicts for example if it’s possible to maintain a defensive sphere that can withstand the maximum level of abuse that a circle of attackers can provide - any weapons platform too far back being unable to increase the force applied. We might get technologically perfect civilizations effectively combined to bubbles of influence around their power sources.
What is possible is that at a certain level of tech we discover how to tap into the universal internet, aliens give us the rest of the answers to physics and philosophy then show us how to build VR gear so we can explore the cosmos in perfect VR and no one ever needs to build Dyson spheres or hyperwarp megastructures because we can do anything with a dark matter powered computanium smart phone.
When I was a kid people said the same about typing, homework has to be handwrittena because no boss will ever accept a typed report.
We had the same when media studies became a lesson, everyone freaking out that kids learning to watch TV is stupid but of course that’s not what they’re getting taught - media literacy turned our to be a hugely important subject even for those that don’t go on to work in the huge and ever growing media sector.
Teaching kids to use AI tools effectively is the same, you hear it and imagine ‘they put homework prompt into chatGPT and hand in the output’ it’s the same as imagining media studies as being nothing more than watching TV. AI is going to be an ever more present and useful tool in our lives so kids need to learn how to leverage and utilize it or they’ll be at a huge disadvantage.
You can’t hold back time by denying your kid a full education, they need to know how to effectively use the tools everyone else will be using.
I want to know more about gonggong
Is it pretty? Would I freeze or boil if I visited? What souvenirs should I bring back? Do I need to take my own water and oxygen or can I buy it there? How much fuel would I need to use if I wanted to push it into a more temperate orbit?
God is the idea that a magic force is responsible for everything, atheism is rejection of this fantasy and the assumption that life is simply the result of natural processes existing without will.
If it’s possible for you then it was likely possible for a lot of them too
I love kden, very logical ui and love that it can do anything. What is it about DaVinci that appeals?
It’s a pleasant surprise every time I visit how chill the US is, you see so much news and fear mongering but it’s super friendly and nice everywhere I go.
Thanks for the fun guessing game but I’d much rather you actually just say what you think would have solved this
Part of the reason the right is doing so well is this sort of hyperbole from the left, we need to work on convincing people rather than drive them further into the arms of the right
What are you suggesting, more death penalties or eternal sentences?
Yes like in America gun violence never happens because everyone has guns.
Hmmm
It’s slang you’d hear 50 years ago in the east end and Essex. You’ll only really hear it used by gangsters in movies these days or someone putting on the accent for laughs, possibly from an old geezer, you certainly won’t hear it used by respectable establishments or family friendly media. It’s not generally considered offensive but is considered uncouth.
I’ve recently gone back to using reddit regularly because it’s the only place with sensible news, lemmy is such a bubble it’s a terrible place to get opinions and ideas from.
My family know I love them, why don’t you stay hydrated and take regular breaks from the screen!
Might help you not take things so personally
OK, when I hear fruit i think of apple first, does this mean oranges aren’t fruit? I don’t get what you’re trying to say?
Yeah it’s funny the hate they get on here, every single person I know that’s been in a tesla on FSD has said it’d brilliant, there are endless videos of people in love with their cybertrucks that show in detail why they like it. But no, ‘i saw one go past and could just tell it was low quality’
Personally it’s not for me, it’s too big and intense even if I could afford it, it’s not a disaster though and if people like it then it’s good because they’re the people that’d probably have a massive ICE truck instead. I honestly think the people hating on it are reaching into cope territory, scratching them because they’re desperate to make them fail like they predicted.
It’s just another product on the market, people should hype up good alternatives and help them grow if they want to ‘fight elon’
Seriously, risking charges just to lash out at a billionaire by attacking someone using their product is absolutely crazy. It’s unhinged even without the risk of charges, especially of all the things to attack an electric vehicle - do people not remember how we’d dog on the manchildren that did similar things to prius?
Oh that does sound really nice actually, I’ll book a trip. I really like the sound of the moon changing size, would add a lot of variety to the sky. I would ask what time of year you suggest visiting but since they’re over 500 earth years I don’t really have the option.
