    Ever been there? It's pretty fucking rough. On 3 occasion across 2 nights we had men threaten, follow or chase us. We actually turned down a side street in case I had to clear my weapon away from the packed crowd. Had never before come close to pulling a gun (didn't). This is coming from a white dude that had no issues or worries working unarmed in South Chicago. Don't get me wrong, I fucking love NOLA culture, but it's the most raggedy American city I've ever seen. Meh, Birmingham may be worse, but I ain't stopping in that shithole. Anyway, I'd still invite folks to visit the French Quarter, Marigny (adjacent), and NOLA in general. There is nowhere in America like it, truly unique. Make time to hit a few cemeteries! You will not regret spending a couple of hours meandering around. Also, eat at the little shitty places downtown. Had the best oysters of my life on that last trip, sucking and scraping the shells like a starving man. I'll add for anyone offended that I occasionally carry, having a concealed gun has bonuses most don't talk about or maybe don't know: The ability to end a life really makes you consider what you're doing, where you'll go, +3 to situational awareness. Despite what one may think of gun nuts looking for an excuse, my conceal carry instructor taught us, "No matter how justified you think you are, pulling that gun may put you in a concrete box for life." Faced with the man who followed us around the corner and "chatted" us up, I was clearly confident, and confidence usually runs bullies off without a fight. (I was actually pretty worried.)

    Oh look, the live service FOMO tactic is leaking out. First they fail to protect the children, now they fail to protect themselves.

    Define AGI, because recently the definition is shifting down to match LLM. In fact we can say we achieved AGI now because we have machine that answers questions. The problem will be when the number of questions will start shrinking not because of number of problems but number of people that understand those problems. That is what is happening now. Don't believe me, read the statistics about age and workforce. Now put it into urgent need to something to replace those people. After that think what will happen when all those attempts fail.

    Call me an optimist, but I still hold the hope that we can one day do better as humanity than we do now. Humanity has become a "better" species throughout its existence overall. Even a hundred years ago we were much more horrible and brutal than we are now. The current trend is not great, with climate change and far-right grifters taking control. But I hold hope that in the end this is but a blip on the radar. Horrible for us now, but in the grand scheme of things not something that will end humanity. It might in the worst case set us back a few hundred years.

    When a Lemmy instance owner gets a legal request from a foreign countries government to take down content, after they’re done shitting themselves they’ll take the content down or they’ll have to implement a country wide block on that country, along with not allowing any citizens of that country to use their instance no matter where they are located. Block me, I don’t care. You’re just proving that you can’t handle the truth and being challenged with it.

    they should be required to be designed to be safe in the way people actually use them, as opposed to this hypothetical driver who has duct taped thier hands to the wheel...
