Might want to re-read the Parable of the Talents sometime.

MacNCheezus , 12 days ago

I think the moral of that story is that you should at least make a bare minimum effort in order to justify your existence. The Parable of the Wedding feast has a very similar lean: there, a guy gets thrown out of the wedding (after having been invited for free because the original guests wouldn’t come) because he wouldn’t even dress up for it.

The point is, there ARE examples of Jesus cutting people off because they’re not worth his continued investment in them.

Use your god-given talents to feed yourself you moocher" and then gave all the fish and bread to the rich?

That’s literally what the Parable of the Talents is about. Matthew 25:14-30 if you are having trouble finding it.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but your point sounds like “the God of YOUR religion better not be telling the God of MY religion what to do.”

Supply Side Jesus isn’t MY concept, in fact, it was Al Franken (yes, the senator) who came up with it.

beliefnet.com/…/the-gospel-of-supply-side-jesus.a…

Now Franken of course is a Jew, so it’s easy to see why he might have a bone to pick with Christianity.

MacNCheezus , 12 days ago

That’s certainly a take.

I mean, I hope I’m not saying anything too controversial here, but I think it’s pretty well understood that one of the major theological differences between Christians and Jews is how they feel about Jesus.

MacNCheezus , 12 days ago

Right, which implies that the God of your religion is the state, because that’s who you want to give supreme authority to.

MacNCheezus OP , 12 days ago

Why yes, I do have a meme for that too:

Glad I could be of service.

MacNCheezus OP , 12 days ago

Is that before or after accounting for people who opted for MAID?

MacNCheezus OP , 13 days ago

Well, for the vegetarians we had Mac’n Cheesecake…

Don’t worry, it is.

为什么

你试过吗

MacNCheezus OP , 12 days ago

What if it is though

MacNCheezus OP , 12 days ago

I also failed.

It’s AI

This is how wendigos are made, isn’t it.

A private local LLM. With the on-device context of my notes, messages, calendar, etc, I’m rather excited to have a more personal LLM than ChatGPT.

No need to wait for iOS 18 to have that: llmfarm.site

MacNCheezus , 12 days ago

You realize that Android being too open is a major reason for why it sucks and iOS being more locked down is precisely how they avoided going the same way, right?

A walled garden works because it keeps the weeds out

MacNCheezus , 12 days ago

Yeah I guess it doesn’t allow access to those things yet although I don’t see why they couldn’t add that in a future release. The APIs for that already exist.

MacNCheezus , 14 days ago

Please don’t give them any ideas

Not a fan of Shkreli but if he bought the record he should be able to make backup copies of it, as long as they’re private

MacNCheezus , 15 days ago

Ok I just read it as well and apparently the problem isn’t so much that he made private copies, but rather that he live-streamed the album after having sold it, and now the new owner wants him to destroy those copies to ensure it won’t happen again.

MacNCheezus , 15 days ago

If I read the article correctly, the problem isn’t so much that he made copies, but rather that he live-streamed them to the public after selling the album.

If he had just kept them private, no one would have ever known, but now the new owner wants him to delete those copies to ensure he doesn’t do it again.

MacNCheezus , 15 days ago

That’s not illegal, it’s merely unethical.

Drive past a red light at an empty intersection at 1am

MacNCheezus , 15 days ago

Oh, looks like I misread that comment.

MacNCheezus OP , 16 days ago

Well, if we’re going to be pedantic, then this is not a valid comparison to make because it ignores the number of total encounters with bears and men, and the time spent with each.

The memes will continue until morale improves

MacNCheezus OP , 14 days ago

You joke, but it does appear that the presence of food was likely what attracted the bear in the first place.

That said, she was also 71 and this happened in her home in a tiny town in the Sierra Nevada where bear sightings are not at all uncommon. No word on how she stored her food or whether she kept her doors locked at night.

MacNCheezus , 16 days ago

Yes but can you hate one for hating the other when you hate it as well?

MacNCheezus , 16 days ago

It seems a little illogical to hate Elon for hating AI when you also hate it.

MacNCheezus , 16 days ago

The usual, then?

https://lemmy.today/pictrs/image/494ebc50-f419-4bee-b863-0e3dd8f92374.png

MacNCheezus , 16 days ago

Which is apparently all of them

MacNCheezus , 16 days ago

Yeah, I get that. At the risk of overexplaining the joke, I was poking fun at the fact that Lemmy reflexively hates everything Elon does, but in this case, he’s actually expressing a sentiment most Lemmy users would agree with.

MacNCheezus , 16 days ago

I think it can be useful but it’s overvalued right now

MacNCheezus OP , 16 days ago

Have you tried not doing that?

Also, where does it say AM on that sign?
