@npub1te7…3dzs If anything social media is anti socratic.

@npub19xu…e8yd I never heard the term so was genuinely asking.

@npub19xu…e8yd Made a Socrates like gpt. The questions… They hit deep.

@npub1te7…3dzs He did. But there are no Socrates on social media, testing expertise.

@npub19xu…e8yd Hahaha, yes that will do. Although my eyes are strained after reading on my iPad. I find the kindle easier on eyes.

@npub19xu…e8yd Printed books are the best. By the way, I have just checked my libby app on iPad, it has accessibility settings with large letters. And the library has a ton of cool books.

@npub19xu…e8yd What about audiobooks? For me they don't work that great, but if nothing else is working, heck yes. I would listen books.

@npub19xu…e8yd Anything specific or just in general?

@npub19xu…e8yd You got a typo: 'the M2 version costs NZ$250'. I wish that was true.

@npub19xu…e8yd Billboards spying on people? Thats unexpected. How does that work with privacy though?

@npub1p80…vay3 Generative ai is a confirmation bias superpower. But isn’t internet search and ’social’ ‘media’ already that?

@npub1p80…vay3 Did you try using Wolfram plugin?

@npub19xu…e8yd At this point I probably wouldn't use it if it was free.

@npub19xu…e8yd Never really understood football and the passion people have for it. Ah well. Probably better than discussing politics though.

@npub19xu…e8yd Sounds cool though. How did it go?

@npub16uk…pv7k My opinion: Aikido is a brutal in disguise martial art. Ueshiba was a right wing fanatic/cultist. Me- Aikido more than 10 years intensively. Read a bit of scholarship by Elis Amdur if interested.
Today’s aikido is 90% hippi dippy wishful thinking.

@npub1nvp…agzg You can activate the plugin only if you have a business plan if you host with Wordpress. So much for Matt Mullenweg comments. He seems to be just a Zuckerberg in hiding.

@npub19xu…e8yd Seems it is going to be a long fall, it is so big it will crumble slowly, very slowly. Facebook on the other hand I think will just dry out and stand like a dead tree. Or at least that is how I see it.

@npub19xu…e8yd Reminds me of the after story of the Rebellion on Bounty - Pitcairn island. Pretty much in the end they waged a war of everyone against everyone, you know, red claw and teeth as they think nature works. All dead/massacred except one ubermensch in the end.

Holier than thou. It’s like competition in moral cleanliness. I just use this or just use that, therefore I am pure, and you… I use VS code as it works, for now. I pledge zero loyalty to Microsoft or other tech giants.

@npub19xu…e8yd Because we all get more conservative as we ‘cough’ age?

@npub19xu…e8yd I have recently read Terms and conditons for Countdown loyalty card. It clearly states your data can be sold online. No thanks. Yet I still use for some reason NW card.

@npub17nc…9dam Couple years ago I had my car battery die on me, left my lights on. Packnsave Rangiora. A senior citizen comes by and offers help. I didn't even need to ask for help. I was so happy and thankful. Old school NZ rocks!

I had the impression socialism and planning was really, really bad. Then I learned about project management. Interesting.

@npub16uk…pv7k I think no one really understands the big picture. Not possible. Complexity science etc. The best we humans can do is to have an approximation of the reality, aka ideology. It is hard to believe that others have other ideas but it is so none the less.

@npub16uk…pv7k Perhaps they have interest which is different than yours. Perhaps their views are as important as yours. There is always a reason. Things would be so easy if the life was as simple as left is good, right is bad.
But surely, people can vote against their longterm interest. I have seen it many times.

@npub1fdg…ftjk Yes, it does have a military underpinning, but in postwar (WW2)former Yugoslavia it was a term for youth groups which worked on massive public works as volunteers. While the optimism lasted.

@npub1trd…ussx Can you imagine genetics as coding of biology? Industrial agriculture is what keeps us fed. There are many problems with it, but it is what puts food on the table. Simplifications like organic vs industrial, small vs large are a bit false in my mind. There can or could be large scale organic farms, or small industrially/intensively cultivated plots or farms. Did you ever read Kropotkin?He kind of riffs on that. I think the “hippy left” went far away into not practical with permaculture.

@npub1trd…ussx Which harms? What potential? That is similar to saying hey, programming will get us rubbish like facebook, which can cause social division and perhaps even civil wars. So let's not learn computer science because it can cause trauma and violence on large scale. Let's avoid the harm. But what about great things which computers and CS got us? Navigation, online banking, web search, ebooks, trade me whatever else, mastodon etc.

@npub1trd…ussx Gene editing is just another technology just as nuclear technology and the internet. Humanity is going to need all if we are to get out of the mess we find ourselves in.
Genetics and nuclear can and should benefit all, not just a few greedy corporations. I dont think its smart to demonize technolgy or science. At least it should be open for public discussion. LIke in anythig there are reasons for and reasons against. I think it is important to be balanced and nuanced.

@npub1trd…ussx Yes and even more. These occupations with little respect and meagre income turn out to be off vital importance.

@npub1trd…ussx I found Picard insulting to me as a TNG fan. Painstakingly watched some episodes, became disgusted. Never went back.
