  I got up to 125 in my car one early, dry Christmas morning. Nobody out, a clear couple miles ahead with no emergency turnout for cops to hide in, decided “let’s see where I get uncomfortable”

  Turned out, right up to 110, my car felt solid, at 125 it started getting squirrelly and I decided the exercise was over. Dumb, yes, but nice to know.

  I’ll concede the data plan dent thing; I hadn’t done any math regarding that. Thanks for clarifying that to me and everyone else!

  I accept your concession, better luck next time.

  But you did say “none” so I just pointed out the fact that it’s not none. It’s some. I wasn’t wrong to point that out. No matter how much of a stickler you find me for that.

  pedantry is pedantry, if you interject with “well ACKSHUALLY” over literaly a couple kilobytes of data in the Year Of Our Lord 2025 where common storage device sizes are in the multiple terabyte range, expect to be called one. It is functionally none, because it is not 1993.

  Autistic or not.

  can’t even come up with your own insult for me, just gonna steal that sad attempt at one from the other guy? how… underwhelming, must do better.

  what a rude thing to ask, especially considering I wasn’t talking to you.

  I’m gonna keep it that way, best of luck baiting someone else champ.

  by their very nature, they are not sentient. They are Markov chains for words. They do not have a sense of self, truth, or feel emotions, they do not have wants or desires, they merely predict what is the next most likely word in a sequence, given the context. The only thing they can do is “make plausible sentences that can come after [the context]”.

  That’s all an LLM is. It doesn’t reason. I’m more than happy to entertain the notion of rights for a computer that actually has the ability to think and feel, but this ain’t it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  “AI freedom”

  listen I am 100% here for the human rights of non-human general intelligence, but no I will not entertain that kind of crock from an overambitious form of autocomplete.

  so use a VPN? if you’re the sort of user using AdNauseam, you’re probably also the sort of user who already uses a VPN.

  1. not in this way
  2. none

  the way it works is sending an HTTP request that registers as a “click” to the advertiser (thus costing them money), but then doesn’t actually let the browser download any content and fetch the webpage, basically pi-holes the ad and any attached tracking cookies. Combined with the fact that it does this to every ad, it would basically poison any click tracking.

  If you are the French government, and you know what the French populace has a history of doing to the French government, it would be understandable to be a bit paranoid of them, no?

  again. It ain’t cool. But I’m honestly surprised they didn’t hop on the “incredibly intrusive surveillance” bandwagon sooner.

  I reckon it’s the cleaning.

  I’ve never used contacts because the idea of touching my eye squicks me out (even if it’s something meant to go there, just – no.), but having your eyelids do all the cleaning and never having to worry about them getting dirty or scratched is probably something a lot of people appreciate.

  Me, I’m happy just using a microfiber cloth and being careful.

  Following several arrests and extraditions, it was concluded that the then-41-year-old Dr. was “mentally unfit to stand trial” by a London psychiatrist, and prior to the trial, had been witnessed wearing condoms on his nose, carrying a cardboard box, and other extremely odd behaviors that diverted him from prison to London’s Mausley Hospital.

  Now, I’m not saying he was normal. But uh… carrying a cardboard box is an “extremely odd behavior”? By that metric, almost anyone could qualify for a cot in the mental ward.

  I mean, setting up Mullvad too isn’t that hard and compared to a Netflix subscription, it’s paid for itself several times over in the time I’ve had it. But I get that that might not be something your friends are willing to fiddle with.

  That said, we’re on Lemmy, in the technology community – I’m reasonably confident that almost everyone here who is going to read your comment has the skills necessary to setup Mullvad and Plex; if not the entire *arr suite, a NAS, and Jellyfin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Or, even better, stop giving them your money and get Plex or Jellyfin and return to the seven seas.
