Well I wouldn’t say it has discouraged care. Frankly it has been more accurate than I would have expected. It’s more that whenever you give it an update it goes wow that’s fantastic news! But then if you read the actual details it’s not so fantastic lol. So it will maintain this sort of fake positivity even as it accurately explains some of the bad things that could happen.
Similar related issue. My family has been dealing with some medical issues lately and my mom has been using Claude a lot to explain various complex issues, analyze prognoses, etc. and I’ve noticed that it’s often excessively positive. Like everything that happens is super positive news and a huge step towards recovery.
Now I’m not a medical professional so I don’t know for sure it’s wrong but it sets off my BS alarm for sure.
Sweat is disgusting oxygenist propaganda. Why can’t you just leak pure hydrogen from your pores like a normal molecule?
There was a case against google under Biden. It’s definitely possible if we get a more progressive president.
Yeah it will require a different government for sure. We’ll see who comes after Trump and whether they care about anti-trust. Hopefully they do.
This is what anti-trust law was made for. We will need someone to enforce it though.
Oh yeah that’s an even better one.
Yeah just like the US was defending itself from Iraq. The attacks were imminent, I swear!
Using a highly scientific method I estimate you’d retain about half of your knowledge and skills.
Not as true as it used to be I don’t think. But yes it has that reputation.
Feel free to link something.
Total nonsense.
Gotcha. New York is the exception though. Most of the US is honestly even worse than California.
But yeah you would not be 10’ from a neighbor in a rural area. This is about the same density as my neighborhood which is a moderate density mixed use area many suburbanites would call “downtown”. You’re right that density could be higher but if every neighborhood looked like this it would be way way more dense than what we have today.
Agreed on the flying car. However this looks pretty dense by US standards. Close buildings, 2+ stories. Could be more since the bottom is obscured by trees. More density might make sense but it’s not bad.
Not really there’s a reason lithium is still used. Other battery chemistries have other drawbacks beyond longevity.
Respect for autonomy and worker’s rights is important. Cuba does well in some metrics and very poorly on others. For example, few people know that they have one of the highest rates of incarceration of any country on earth. That’s not a sign of some socialist paradise, whatever other achievements they might have.
But I would generally look at an array of metrics but political freedoms are an important component, especially when we’re discussing government since unlike other metrics it’s totally within their power to control.
Yes, the issue is with single party states because in such states, the party and the state are basically synonymous. Insofar as a party is a voluntary organization, it’s fine to set standards for ideological unity. But once those standards become a requirement to access political power, your state is functionally no longer democratic.
And sure, there are other one party states, and they’re also bad. But I’m criticizing the Cuban government specifically because it has more defenders on Lemmy than those states do. Just look at how many angry comments I got.
It’s very clearly modeled after the government of the USSR, which was created by the Bolsheviks. I’ve seriously never heard anyone claim otherwise so maybe you can elaborate on whatever the hell you are talking about.
No, no, you see comrades it will work out differently if we do it with guns instead of ballots, trust me, I have your best interests at heart and will absolutely not betray you once I’m in power.
In unrelated news, I have now declared that reading history is counter-revolutionary.
