No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it true that airport customs can legally demand access to your unlocked phone?
5 hoursThat is true, in some countries they can demand that you use your biometrics to unlock your phone. In other words, if you can unlock your phone by simply looking at it or using your thumbprint, they can demand that you unlock your phone using that. From what I understand the United States now does this. They can’t demand to give up your pin number because they can’t require you to give up something that’s inside your head. But biometrics are not what is inside your head that is publicly available data. So they can use that to require you to unlock your phone. Personally, I think it’s a bullshit concept that they can require you to do that.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Why do the vast majority of people on Lemmy seem to HATE AI?
1 dayThe reasons why so many people hate it. Are lengthy.
A big one is we see jobs already being eliminated. And people like to live in this fantasyland that oh there’ll be new jobs created. But anybody who has studied history, realizes that that’s not going to happen in this case.
For example, when we switched from horse and buggy to motorized vehicles,. The people built the buggies they could be cross trained to build the vehicles. Jobs were created.
When we switched from the mechanical typewriter to the electronic typewriter that was easy cross train. When we moved away from the electronic typewriter to a computer, there were jobs created.
Here’s the problem that we run into. Let’s just look at accounting. Many jobs in the accounting field can be done by a properly trained AI system. Most data entry jobs can be done by AI. Many programming jobs are being handed off to AI. You were seeing this across all industries. Whereare the jobs going to be actually created at?
There are some data entry jobs to program AI. But those are minimum wage jobs at best.
As AI becomes better and better, they will be able to take more and more jobs.
We are already seeing AI being used to create music. There goes a lot of musicians jobs. There a goes a lot of songwriting jobs.
This is becoming a very large problem. Because you will still have the same number of people looking for work, but you’ll have less jobs. That means the pay for said jobs will drop drastically. Supply and demand.
The people who truly believe there will be magically new jobs created as far as I’m concerned or absolutely delusional.
Another big problem is it limits human interaction. I know there’s a lot of people that don’t want to talk to anybody, but here’s the reality. Humans are social creatures. As we become More and more isolated, It becomes harder for us to sympathize and empathize with other people. That makes it easier to create divisions between people. Trust me, the governments will absolutely use that to their benefit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If you agree with this view: Why do you think societies should allow billionaires to exist? How does that benefit the common good?
3 daysI don’t care whether or not billionaires do or don’t exist. As long as the people that they hire get paid a living wage so that at some point, they can retire. I don’t care how much a billionaire has.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•After updating CachyOS, I am unable to play games as easily as before. How do I fix it?
5 daysThank you for letting me know about this group
Contact an attorney, and explain that you want to use inmates as a work release program. Or possibly to have the inmates work on your project inside the prison.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•why is it frowned upon to describe a person according to appearance and ethnic background?
9 daysCalling the guy fat. Yeah kind of rude.
The way you described the lady. No nothing wrong with it.
Now if your comment was: just like people from Asia, good with math and impossible to understand.
Then yeah rude.
But how you said it. I’d say thin skinned manager. You described her in a way that it would be easy for your manager to figure out who you were talking about.
Also you are asking Lemmy, so I’m sorry but you are automatically wrong.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it common after a breakup to lose every mutual friend you had?
19 daysBeing accused of something is fully different than actually having done it. Just because somebody accuses you of something doesn’t mean it’s automatic that you are guilty. In the comment that was linked, he literally said somebody falsely accused him. So I have to ask you how do you know that he’s actually guilty?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the best way of dealing with Maga hatred, white power, genocide denial and other things you see a Lemmy user espousing?
1 yearYou’ve actually found right leaning people on Lemmie? I thought they were either shoved out, bullied out or pushed out or just given up and left and went somewhere else.



My dad did once. Stolen off his pickup while on a work parking lot
