• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Will Shut Down Sora Video Platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think one of the reasons why consumer facing AI content is failing so bad is because we have had good video content for decades so it’s super obvious when a video is just off.

  I think this relates to the main reason why AI is failing (or at least not popular with consumers). It automatically just means the product has less quality than you’ve been used to for your entire life. It hasn’t really provided anything new to consumers.

  This is why I come to lemmy.

  Light hearted dad jokes about software

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s with real people.

  I would bet far more money on real devs in another country being able to replace devs than “AI”.

  Thought the second religion image was suppose to be an Epstein joke

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodbye Google - I self-host everything now on 4 tiny PCs in a 3D printed rack (CaptainRedsLab)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Awesome stuff but here I am with my single mini PC that has Jellyfin and Immich wondering why I would need such a big setup.

  At some point I realized that the more complex I make it, the more resources it needs and the more maintenance it needs so I only get things I think I really need.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iran, not the US, currently has the strategic upper hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve tried explaining this to people but it doesn’t get traction.

  Israel wants to be the major power in the Middle East, the only way that’s possible is to keep Iran as low powered as possible.

  Sure, in theory they would want the Iranian people to thrive, but that would require the Iranian economy to thrive and Israel would see that as a competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iran, not the US, currently has the strategic upper hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Replace Russia with the Russian state mafia and it makes more sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨human ingenuity knows no bounds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would you pull it off while inhaling at the end so it makes a pop sound?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don’t have room in the carbon budget for a world war.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it affects the world in an unavoidable way, why wouldn’t it?

  Before WWI, a war halfway around the world didn’t affect you. Now it raises prices within a week of starting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don’t have room in the carbon budget for a world war.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  IMO WWIII started with the invasion of Ukraine.

  Now we have both US and Russia participating in war.

  If china takes Taiwan then you’ll have the big 3 which will effect pretty much all other countries one way or another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We don’t have room in the carbon budget for a world war.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Orrr, keep up with me on the optimism, it would be like post WWII in which the pendulum will swing the other way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨From millions of dollars to under a grand: The dramatic fall of the NFT⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only good thing out of NFTs was that I learned what fungible means.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Datacenters are becoming a target in warfare for the first time⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone else a little surprised by the realization that if an enemy took out all datacenters it would actually improve a lot of things and take us back 20 years to the golden age of the internet?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascism bad.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what you mean, but yes hyper competitiveness leads to less value for human life.

  My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.

  And it’s not even helping evolution since merit isn’t correlated to financial success.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta acquires AI agent social network Moltbook⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think any sci fi medium ever predicted making robots for the sake of talking to each other.

  The fuck is the benefit.

  Usually when robots start talking to each other, that’s the start of the conflict in the book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fascism bad.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Since as humans we essentially rule the earth, it makes a lot of sense for us to adapt to a new reality that shouldn’t need fear.

  But that’s assuming we wouldn’t just spend all our time competing with each other in a negative sum game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber is letting women avoid male drivers and riders in the US⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s things like this that make me, as a man, to prefer male servers/drivers.

  If women chose other women, that’s fine but I do feel bad about the men getting less work, so I think it’s only fair to balance the demand gap by allowing men to chose male servers/drivers.

  That behaviour would probably have the opposite effect that the people who created this rule would want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Positive affirmations from your favorite captains⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My issue with the “you’re not a burden” is that, it may be true but you can totally be a burden.

  Whereas I think it’s always okay to ask for help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Worst day of the year⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My favourite fact about this topic is that there is a significant bump in car accidents twice a year due to day light saving change.

  So we literally sacrifice a few lives here and there cause it used to benefit factories (not fully recalling the reason, I think it was for WWII)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I blame Obama⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not just do half day next day for schools so kids can stay up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  stored locally on your device

  While I would trust that for a FOSS app, it would be too easy for a proprietary app to just “backup” your data.

  With the physical method, everyone can be sure they are anonymous through common sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online age-verification tools spread across U.S. for child safety, but adults are being surveilled⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How about a system where I can go physically to a shop, show them my id, then the clerk allows me to buy a box of tokens that I picked up from the shelf.

  I can pay with cash, the clerk just looks at my face and ID, nothing gets entered into the system.

  Then I have a bag of tokens that could have various expire dates. Some could last years. They are not tied to any person in anyway but only adults could access them.

  And yes, I can totally give it to some kids, but that’s no different than me buying kids alcohol.

  I’m glad that lemmy is threading the very thin needle of saying the supreme leader was bad but the US attacks aren’t justified cause of him.
