I’m all for making tons of accounts to use Google Drive/Mega/Dropbox/etc to distribute files, even if they have crappy privacy practices, you don’t need to share any real information with them anyway

A valid phone number is needed for Google accounts

I have no issue with using AI to find otherwise undiscovered security bugs. But attempting to fixing them with AI I’m not in favor of.

Oh man, I suspected that was artificial! 😡

I’m wondering if you have the “cookie notices” and “annoyances” filters disabled? They are not checked by default. It’s under settings > filter lists. FWIW the page loaded cleanly for me.

They’re essentially making the argument that if you accept that a civilization can eradicate itself (via nuclear war, climate change, plague, a generation of ipad kids, etc etc) even if you calculate that chance of eradication to be infinitesimally small, then given cosmic time scales it becomes a near inevitability.

But if you choose to believe (without evidence) that an interstellar civilization exists that definitionally can’t be eradicated by any means then yes, definitionally that civilization will persist.

Sort of. The article is making the argument that on a cosmic timescale, one won’t even need a “great filter” to explain Fermi’s paradox. Any civilization with even a minuscule chance of eradicating itself will eventually do so given billions of years.

We don’t have evidence that civilizations on other worlds exist at all, but you are saying we should be working under the assumption that these things we don’t have evidence for can’t self-eradicate?

The paper this article links to just assumes a “probability of self-annihilation” without actually addressing the “how”

Is that really such a strange perspective? Surely you must accept the idea that even without knowing every possible mechanism of death, the probability of death for every lifeform we have ever encountered approaches 100% over time.

I’m guessing you didn’t read the article, but the answer to your question is “sort of” if the “filter” in question is civilization itself.

Shame there is no plan for a physical release but still cool

Framework, but their laptops are also about twice as expensive as equivalent models from other brands.

Eh, I just ran some comparisons and Framework is only about $100 more than the cheapest equivalent in another brand with the same CPU/Memory. $200 more with Windows.

From their website:

Computers, notebooks, PCs and laptops from TUXEDO Computers are not mass-produced or off-the-shelf. Each device is individually assembled, installed, configured and tested for you.

The article that you are commenting underneath is the original source for the quote about Star Trek and does not contain any mention of prequels.

The article I shared is the original source and does not contain a mention of prequels.

The link you shared just now appears to be an AI slop summary with added hallucinations.

I am arguing with you because from the perspective of someone reading the article I shared, you brought up an entirely unrelated topic in order to complain.

? that quote is not in the article ???

I blocked every single person instance and community on Lemmy and my mental health has improved 10x

I have a long list of things I disliked about the JJ Abrams movies, but the casting was certainly nowhere on it.

? it doesn’t say anything about prequels?

Nice to see they are still working a Trek movie, and also nice to see (IMO) that it could be connected to the main timeline.
