Don't be alarmed. We couldn't invade Denmark if we tried.

There is "failing to compete with China" and then there is "hacking both of your feet off before the race even begins and being proud of it". The case of Germany falls squarely in the latter category.

Machines aren't going away. I need a solution that is available right now.

Obviously not, when you ban them immediately just for participating in another subreddit, regardless of what they wrote there.

You hit the nail on the head. As bad as reddit is nowadays, I will never use Lemmy because it attracts the activists and "power users" that have ruined reddit in the first place.

It is essentially religion. Politics too.

So you're actually censoring opinions, not fighting spam, just like every other reddit mod.

Yeah, I don't remember when was the last time I even visited stackexchange. AI is so much better, it's not even a contest. The real question is where AI will get its knowledge in 10 or 15 years when there is no training material anymore...

There are many people who nobody cares about in real life either.

Now write a blog post about that line at the bottom with comparable magnitude in the other direction.

It's not reversible. You can't undo the suffering that has been inflicted on the patient.

You get German citizenship almost automatically after 5 years in the country just by having a job and a basic understanding of the language. Even without speaking the language you can get citizenship simply by going to school here for 4 years.

> no one mentioning that there is no point for them to integrate whatsoever

There is a point: They are GUESTS here and when you are a guest in someone's house, you better act respectfully.

It's a good thing you can't get permanent residency, let alone citizenship! without speaking the local language. There are few countries in the world that hand out citizenship as cheaply as Germany.

No such assumption is necessary. If they didn't then that the entire comment is totally baseless speculation, no better than asking a horoscope.

Your comment is suspiciously missing the part where your students performed measurably better after decreasing CO2 concentration.

China can do it. No car that leaves a factory there is the same. Everything automated and yet customizable.

Maybe it is. If you think about it hard, you will find that you cannot separate the idea of dog from the word dog. The object dog can only be understood as a perception linked to that idea.
