  I still find it funny it thinks my 3 year old is interested in solar panels.

  The more concerning one was a divorce lawyer for fathers. That shit wasn’t even on my account or my computer, it just assumed daytime watching of kids stuff means a guys going through a divorce, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Advanced OpenAI models hallucinate more than older versions, internal report finds⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I was about to say the same thing until I saw your comment. I had a little bit of success learning a few tricks with o3 but trying to use o4 is a tremendous headache for coding.

  There might be some utility in dialing it all back so it’s more straight to what I need based more on package documentation than random redditor suggestion amalgamation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human Intelligence Sharply Declining⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, hence why it impacted who I mentioned: low income, rural and people of color (who get bad Internet due to racial redlining). Good point regarding changed attitudes of sick days, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a cancelled game you really miss?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Concord

  Haha, just kidding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Human Intelligence Sharply Declining⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A bit sensationalized, but there is a solid evidence that students are doing worse in the US than a few years back. From what I’ve read, it’s probably the year gap from COVID because data suggested the decline was steeply after that year and mostly impacted low income, rural, and communities of color who were most impacted by the shift to remote school.

  This is an averages thing, though, as it’s tied to other data that suggests absenteeism skyrocketed and never quite came back to pre-pandemic levels.

  Now, people citing biological reasons like long COVID and microplastics aren’t necessarily wrong, but I haven’t seen as much evidence of cognitive impacts. The reason I still give it some credit, though, is historically IQ goes up every generation (and then recalibrated since it’s centered on 100) and a big part of that is biological (e g. deleading gas), though access to information (radio, TV, internet) also contributes.

  Interestingly enough, you’d think reliance on social media makes you dumb but we don’t have evidence of that, it’s mostly just really bad for teens mental health. We’ve always had stupid forms of entertainment.

  My pa knows a guy who lost his job installing asbestos and if we stop using it you know CHINA is gonna use and make big fools of us, it’s pathetic. Plus the news SAYS it’s a witch hunt boiled up by BIG LUNG to steal money from hard working asbestos loving Americans 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Added to Global Human Rights Watchlist Over Declining Civil Liberties⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Real question is why it took so long

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, and then if you do endlessly scroll all you get to see either very wild takes, porn, and/or extremely niche start up communities, depending on your level of federation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨jared⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that was a lot of blood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly I’m pretty sure you can already do this. Your average person is remarkably superstitious and believes in angels and demons and such, it doesn’t take much to also think they were cursed. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love to send the most absurd messages I can think of to steam scammers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, the prequels have dead kids, almost no women, and heck, it even has a dear leader taking over the Senate and declaring himself emporer in the name of safety. Republican wet dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World Backup Day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I should use this as an excuse to finally get a NAS setup. Maybe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World Backup Day⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, I’m afraid the tech bros cut costs by not saving backups and removing all the old ones. Hell, all our changes are made in prod, no staging allowed here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm your tits⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Positive spin, he bought it from a pro-LGBTQ+ thrift store to support local causes in his area. I swear I’ve seen similar jackets at said thrift stores.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Privacy disaster as LGBTQ+ and BDSM dating apps leak private photos.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve met the type who run businesses like that, and they likely do deserve punishment for it. My own experience involved someone running gray legality betting apps, and the owner was a cheapskate who got unpaid interns and filipino outsourced work to build their app. Guy didn’t even pay 'em sometimes.

  Granted, you could also hire inexperienced people if you’re a good person with no financial investor, but that I’ve mostly seen with education apps and other low profit endeavors. Sex stuff definitely is someone trying to score cash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If these mother fuckers are trying to make me pay for Healthcare to talk to fucking ChatGPT I swear to god ChatGPT is going to write me so many scripts for opioids its won't be funny.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Using it for education? Not this current model, not by a long shot. Granted, I’m in higher ed, but even then it’s suggestions have been so mediocre at best I’ve had to drastically modify anything it suggests to the point it’s no longer time efficient to use it.

  And believe me, I’d love it to grade essays for me but there’s no way I can trust it with that simple task yet, even with a rubric.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great Advice⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Taco place I know sells them at 5 bucks a taco. 35 dollars of taco is enough unless you’re paying and if so, I’ll also have 7 tacos.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skill issue⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Traditionally, yes, but I do want to note that modern takes use it to also argue for cooperation, since working with with others is good for survival and passing on genes. They also are the first to tell people how bunk the alpha male crap is, and the fact a lone wolf is a dead wolf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bernard⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does seem like perfect casting lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bernard⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure Larry David played Bernie on SNL a couple times, as a guest in cold open, etc. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not convinced at least half of those communities trust Reddit and Discord enough to leave forums, but then again I stopped using them mostly because I haven’t had time for those hobbies. My emulation groups are still active on forums, at least.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh NOOOO⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Adds a certain level of tension to the shopping experience, plus we know stores use slow songs to slow people down and shop more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh NOOOO⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Why did you buy a 5lb roast?”

  “Proof of a Hero started playing.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh NOOOO⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure what the reaction is if Mystic Quests Battle 2 theme played at the super market. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh NOOOO⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hasn’t happened to me because I listen to video game music and if my local grocer fucking started playing the Monster Hunter theme I would absolutely lose my shit.

  (Once in Japan a small shop selling pottery was playing a song from FF5 and I bought a lovely cup out of principle).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Tests 9 Ads & Only One Free Search Results On Same Page.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gross but also… kinda curious from an A/B testing perspective to know when the user drop off happens. Kind of like, what’s the pain threshold before someone stops using shitty software. The answer really should be zero but the average user… ugh, it’s probably fucking 8 or 9 and we should be ashamed.

  Too bad is Bing so the sample size is too small for any meaningful results.

  Ironically, a lot of stock trading already is done by bot, it’s a problem from a while ago. Not LLM, of course, much simpler but it’s why it sometimes goes hive mind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOGE Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government is Wildly Dangerous⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I want you be at that shareholder meeting; “how about we just don’t have a CEO and pocket the savings?”
