I’d rather have AI than human drivers. Most people are fine, but a small percent are dangerously incompetent drivers, and another small percent are psychopaths.

Waymo gives 100,000+ rides a week and has never killed anyone, to my knowledge. Seems like it might already be safer than a human driver, it must have millions of miles driven.

There there, it’ll be alright… have some jeans

That’s great! I really hope the fediverse can replace corporate slop social media, and I think people coming here and not getting turned off by those bad instances is key.

Rawdogging Lemmy without blocking hexbear and the .ml instances… good luck!

I use tags often, but I don’t block, I use it to track accounts spreading disinformation.

Agree, it do be like that

They’re extremist and openly advocate murder. Hexbear users threatened to kill me.

Fortunately we’re also destroying the oceans

Yggdiculous

Yeah, I imagined basically exactly that happening and decided not to tell anyone about it, not yet anyway. Also, I don’t want them to get death threats from Hexbear like I did…

Same, I haven’t told a soul I use it despite being active here over a year. I still believe in it though (or just really hate the idea of accepting corporate social media).

I think they’re paid to spread disinformation (or run LLMs that spread it) that makes “the West” look bad and their authoritarian leaders (CCP, Kremlin) look good.

So if someone mentions Tiananmen Square they delete it or lie about it, or say “what about Mk ultra,” but not because they actually believe in anything other than getting paid.

Thanks! It’s already happening.

I wonder how many good, reasonable people have checked out Lemmy and seen all the CCP/Kremlin propaganda then just left.

Yes good point, I suggest we deal with it by defederating hexbear and the .ml instances.

The Hexbear and .ml instances aren’t really tankies/communists, IMHO. Some of them, sure, but mostly it’s just a facade for their propaganda.

Dens is good

They’re just pretending to be communist in order to spread Kremlin propaganda to gullible people who are dissatisfied with their own countries.

Look at his eyes, he doesn’t even know where he is, that kitty is half baked
