  “Inhale, exhale” make sense, but that’s really dumb art

  No, that’s “IHL”

  Yes, I know it has an impact, though not as big as you make it seem, (and so is everything). When you divide it to calculate the personal impact, it is way lower than a huge number of other stuff. I agree that we need to address climate change, but I don’t believe this should be the main focus.

  Also, every individual should be able to choose how they spend their “carbon allocation”, personally, I don’t eat meat, I never take the plane, I don’t own a car and do everything using bike and trains, my house is carbon negative (building it actually had a negative carbon footprint) which was a huge sacrifice I had to compromise getting a way way smaller house for way more debt than if I had built a cheap standard house (and of course I’m in debt for decade). LLM makes me more efficient at my job so I think I can afford the carbon footprint that comes with it which, as I said, is not as big per individual as you make it appear.

  I understand that hanging on Lemmy makes it seem like AI/LLM is the worse thing that has happened to mankind, but it’s really not, there are lots of issues with it, sure. But there is worse stuff to worry about.

  I want to finish by saying that I DO support your action to minimize its impact, what you are doing overall is important and necessary, but I think you should revise the individual argument you put up against LLM, cause this one is not great.

  I agree, cursor and other IDE integration have been a game changer. It made it way easier for a certain range of problems we used to have in software dev. And for every easy code, like prototyping, or inconsequential testing, it’s so so fast. What I found is that, it is particularly efficient at helping you do stuff you would have been able to do alone, and are able to check once it’s done. Need to be careful when asking stuff you aren’t familiar with though, cause it will comfortably lead you toward a mistake that will waste your time.

  Though one thing I have to say: I’m very annoyed by it’s constant agreeing with what I say, and enabling me when I’m doing dumb shit. I wish it would challenge me more and tell me when I’m an idiot.

  “Yes you are totally right”, “This is a very common issue that everybody has”, “What a great and insightful question”… I’m so tired of this BS.

  I get the sentiment behind this post, and it’s almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology. It is akin to climate change denier using the argument: “look! It snowed today, climate change is so dumb huh ?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's been downhill since 2020⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, the climate crisis is a huge problem, probably the biggest mankind has ever faced. Everyone should do everything they can to try to minimize it (I sure am).

  You’d say it started going downhill in 2019 or 2016 ? /s

  There is good news though: climate literacy is going up, more and more people realized everyday throughout the world. It hasn’t really reached the political level in most countries but I see a trend of countries taking more and more action against climate change. Of course we are not there yet, but we could be in the future. This is not to say that “the climate” is not worsening, but there are improvements here and there. I truly believe humanity will make it, likely not with the same population count but still. Life on earth is almost guaranteed to survive, it has lived through worse than that. It has to get worse for people to really realized and act against it.

  Climate change is one thing, but it’s not “ALL”, there are many metrics by which the world is getting better all the time.

  All in all though, and I think it’s the most important: doomer talk is not helping at all, it demoralises people, and it prevents them from acting, if people believe we are done for, why would they make any effort ? Why would they try to fix it ?

  Seeing the strong word you have about the climate crisis, I can only imagine you are doing everything you can to minimize it, are you ?

  🎶It’s get.ting bet.ter all the ti-i-ime I have to admit. it’s getting bet.ter A little bet.ter all the time (can’t get noo worse)🎶

  I’ve seen this argument so many time… It’s not going downhill, we are just getting older, we understand the problems of the world better, we are more informed, we watch the news and we start to have that nostalgia feeling that it was better before. It was not ! The world is getting better for so many metrics, sure there are issues, there always has been, it’s not perfect. Sure there are localized places where it’s temporarily getting worse ( the US might currently be living through a rough time, but it will pass).

  Overall, it’s getting better all the time. We are currently living the best time in history so far. Millions of new stuff to discover, infinite access to the cumulated knowledge of mankind. More democratic country than ever, famine is getting down overall, health is getting better too. Poverty is decreasing too.

  I’m not saying we shouldn’t do anything to try and make it even better, we definitely should do everything we can, there is still a lot to do to make it the best world possible. But please stop with this constant whining about the past. It was not better, you simply didn’t know any better in the past, and your memory of the past is tainted because your brains actively choose to erase bad stuff and only remember good stuff (this is a real human brain unconscious behaviour, look it up).

  I guess I would be closest to “the prog purist”, though I love power metal, and other subgenres too, so I could also be in the “it’s all metal” category.

  This list seems to be incomplete, there are other metal fan archetypes

  Even knowing that Disney made Tarzan, Jane doesn’t “feel” like a Disney princess.

  You know who feels like a Disney princess but isn’t ? Anastasia !

  The “Holopeve” sounds like the lnewest tech device which is going to financially fail and be buried after a couple years of hype.

  “The Holopeve is the future of gaming” “With the Holopeve, people will never walk the same as before” “Preorder your Holopeve now”

  Jane is considered a disney princess ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New project, new energy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Soo… everyone is giving you advice to help you “overcome” this tendency. I disagree with them all ! First of all I am the same as you, but I have come to realise that finishing projects doesn’t fulfill me or bring me any joy. Quite the opposite, when I finish a project, the end of the project is very boring, a lot of work, and once done I just feel empty and drained, I’m just glad I can finally stop. What brings me joy though is starting a project, learning new stuff required for that new project, all that initial phase of the project is the best feeling, I’m hyper focused, I’m in a trance-like state, I have millions of ideas and thoughts about it, then once I figure out how to do it, I slowly abandon it and I don’t want to finish it and that’s ok, I’m happy because I’m doing the best part (imo): learning how to do it, figuring it out, proof of concept.

  If you are like me, don’t listen to all the people pushing you to finish, they don’t get it. Do what you like. We don’t have to be productive in all our endeavours, just having fun while it lasts is ok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it hilarious that most people in this thread are complaining about being called a “something vegan”, like I can understand not being happy with the current AI trend, but it seems like the word “vegan” is what makes everyone ticks, it’s NOT an insult, the “normal” vegan are very happy to be called like that, because what it refers too is something that they agree and identify with. If you agree and identify yourself with what those journalist are calling “AI vegans”, the name doesn’t matter, embrace it, call yourself that to easily express what you believe about AI.

  Vegan is not an insult, it is a compliment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Holes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We don’t need to “live in a simulation” for “our reality to be made of math”. Math could very well exist outside of anything, as a formal concept. This is the old debate asking whether math is invented or discovered. If it is discovered, then it can exist without any reality, as a pure abstract concept.
