- Comment on xkcd #3089: Modern 2 hours ago:
Modern is defined as the current year of whatever writer coined the term. So after writing about the “modern” day for a century…
- Comment on Generational differences 1 week ago:
I always called it a sploof. And walking in on people who had just used it, it does not work at all. But if you’re high it seems like it’s working wonders lol.
- Comment on ‘The Worst Internet-Research Ethics Violation I Have Ever Seen’ | The most persuasive “people” on a popular subreddit turned out to be a front for a secret AI experiment. 1 week ago:
This is a really interesting paragraph to me because I definitely think these results shouldn’t be published or we’ll only get more of these “whoopsie” experiments.
At the same time though, I think it is desperately important to research the ability of LLMs to persuade people sooner rather than later when they become even more persuasive and natural-sounding. The article mentions that in studies humans already have trouble telling the difference between AI written sentences and human ones.
- Comment on If you're a broke vampire, just say that 1 week ago:
I’m in the middle of reading Dracula for the first time right now and while the count part makes it seem normal for Dracula to be living in the castle, the castle is absolutely a vampire stronghold that has been in the dracula family for centuries because they are vampires.
Like I’m sure the count thing is a good excuse but it’s implied that they’ve been around and probably in the castle since before “counts” were a thing.
- Comment on What would this list look like for your generation? 2 weeks ago:
Ligma balls lol
- Comment on WTF why my filament exploded? 2 weeks ago:
Filament died of cringe 😔
- Comment on Is it time to stop? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe some country will drop a nuke, or a supervolcano erupts, or america will experience a surprise land invasion and when any major event like that happens I want to be one of the first to know.
Now it never has happened and it probably won’t in my lifetime but don’t tell my brain that.

But for now you’re chillin
- Comment on US | Trump says ‘there are methods’ for seeking third term in White House 1 month ago:
I think that’s exactly the “methods” he’s exploring.
Convince another country to drop a nuke and you might be able to be a wartime president for 10 more years.

How Luffy D. Monkey looks right before he’s about destroy the big bad guy in every arc.
- Comment on US Frites 1 month ago:
Occasionally they throw in a “Frunch” as well just to keep historians on their toes.
- Comment on Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are. 1 month ago:
It’s semantics. The difference between an llm and “asking” wikipedia a knowledge question is that the llm will “answer” you with predictive text. Both things contain more knowledge than you do, as in they have answers to more trivia and test questions than you ever will.

Nah there are other door dash guys to do that.

- Comment on Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke 2 months ago:
Idk, it seems worse that he’s self aware. Before it could be dumping these women because he gets some “ick” about them that he can’t explain. It turns out the ick is a deeply misogynistic fetishization of youth, but if he didn’t put any thought into it at least you could say he’s a toxic product of his culture.
If he’s aware of it then it’s something he could be working on and changing and he instead makes the active choice not to do anything about it.

Literally me atm. Had some coffee left in the pot. 3:30 is way too late for lunch though.
- Comment on Remember when things were shitty, but not *this* shitty? 3 months ago:
Nostalgic for 2014 only because if I was out there with what I know now I would own life.
Not gonna listen to my 2034 self though, I don’t even know that guy.
- Comment on Le Reddit Army is Here 2: Electric Boogaloo 4 months ago:
Fortunately/unfortunately Lemmy isn’t big enough to move the needle on any of these conservative’s radars. Until it proves that it can influence a significant fraction of their demographic they don’t care.
- Comment on Dread toy-peddler Funko Pop gets cool, handsome Itch.io taken offline via dodgy "AI-powered" brand protection 5 months ago:
I wouldn’t call what they peddle “toys” unless you can find me any sort of activity people actually use them for besides display.

Now… How hallucinogenic and can it be separated from the toxin?
- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 5 months ago:
Oh God I don’t want my YouTube hidden behind multiple paywalls of varying quality. I agree that something should be done about it but it’s frankly a miracle of inertia that YouTube hasn’t been more aggressively monetized.
And yes, before anyone comments with “have you seen YTs monetization!!!”, I do in fact mean even more than the shit show it currently is.

Hell, infinite monkeys over a finite amount of time or finite monkeys over an infinite amount of time does the trick.
