True, the fediverse is poor. But Reddit is the bottom of the barrel in its current state.
Best to waste time watching paint dry to be honest

I think they realize but know these mods are addicted to the fake power so they won’t go anywhere no matter what

Pocketbook sounds great, I’ll check it out.
Thanks for the info!

So Kobo is the way to go then?
I’m really asking, my daughter is becoming a big book worm and we have missed out on some great sales because she only reads physical books ATM. I want her to give it a try with an e-ready and did not like Amazon for it.

I don’t know how OpenAI makes money besides their little subscription.
As far as I have read, that’s it, which is not profitable. They have been coasting on Venture Capital only so far.

I just want to be able to preview docs from my proton drive on my android app
I’m ok editing in browser only but I have my recipes there and can’t preview them from my phone so I’m forced to keep them in Google drive instead

Well I wouldn’t really trust kia, who released these gaping vulnerabilities and benefit the most from pretending ain’t no big thing, with these statements
- Comment on Hacking Kia: Remotely Controlling Cars With Just a License Plate. 1 month ago:
Agreed. But I am getting more and more concerned we won’t always be able to keep or buy an old car and avoid these pitfalls
I’m likely 3 to 6 years away from having to buy a new/used car and I don’t think il be able to (or actually want) a 20 year old car
- Comment on Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton 1 month ago:
They just want him to get a new one… Why repair a $20 battery on a perfectly functioning device when you can force him to get a new $100,000 exoskeleton?
This is just more capitalist ghouls doing the only thing they know
- Comment on Paralyzed Jockey Loses Ability to Walk After Manufacturer Refuses to Fix Battery For His $100,000 Exoskeleton 1 month ago:
Right to repair NOW!
Medical devices should be either supported for life (with money on escrow to support it) or provided with all schematics, manuals and spare parts
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
Now my most important tools are search engines and autocomplete: I can work faster with less knowledge of the syntax and my value is the higher level thought about what we need to do. If my company ever allows AI, I fully expect it to be as important a tool as a search engine.
And this is when the cost calculation comes into play. Using a search engine is basically free, using OpenAI for development is tied up with licenses and new hardware.
So the question will be, are you going to improve efficiency to the point where the cost of the license and new hardware is worth the additional efficiency?
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
Right, it’s only stolen when regular people use copyright material without permission
But when OpenAI downloads a car, it’s all cool baby
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
It’s expensive enough my employer (of more than 2000) decided to only trial it with a small subset of seniors. It’s not just the license, it comes tied up with new hardware
So far nobody likes it. Most people use it to summarize meetings and we just got a memo saying we need to review the summaries because it keeps missing important data
Having said all that, when I mentioned the cost, I was referring to the cost of training the models. And without a proper business plan to monetize it, it’s is still unclear how this version of AI could be actually sold for profit.
Remember that cost, is not just a number. It’s the number in relationships with the benefit it provides.
For OpenAI, it has yet to produce profit that is not just venture capital and for us as user (us, I cannot speak for everyone) it has not saved us a dime after getting expensive hardware and licenses
- Comment on OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman 1 month ago:
A tool is a tool.
That is a miopic view. Sure a tool is a tool, if I take a gun and use it to save someone from getting mug = good if I use it to mug someone = bad
But regardless of the circumstance of use, we can all agree that a gun’s only utility is to destroy a living organism.
You know, I know, everyone here knows, AI will only be used to generate as much profit as possible in the shortest amount of time, regardless of the harm it causes. And right now, the big promise of AI is that it will replace costly human employees, that’s it, that’s all

It delivers on what it promises to do for many people who use LLMs.
Does it though?
They can be used for coding assistance,
They promised no programmers needed in 5 years. (well not promised, somebody did say that but not OpenAI staff, I think). The cost of AI both in money and energy use, does not really justify the limited aid it can provide to a programmer. You are never getting enough additional efficiency from said programmer to justify those costs
Setting up automated customer support,
Even more hated than when every customer centre moved to India
tutoring, processing documents, structuring lots of complex information,
Again, at that cost? the marginal improvement does not add up
a good generally accurate knowledge on many topics,
Is it though? if I can only trust it with answers I already know enough to discern whether I am getting bullshit or not, then it’s not worth it. As it it today, I cannot trust it with any search I really do not know the answer to (or can easily verify) as it can be throwing complete bullshit at me and I would have no way of knowing either.
acting as an editor for your writings, lots more too.
Again? you mentioned the processing docs already… but again I tell you, who will pay the heavy costs just so internal memos are written slightly better? and everything your company sends out would have to be reviewed as you do not want AI promising something you cannot deliver via hallucination

I found this sub entertaining for like 2 days after I found it…
Later it was clear it was full of people fishing for praise, people rage baiting or just assholes
In any case, like 99.9% of Reddit, it was clearly not good use of anyone’s time
- Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen 1 month ago:
Yes but that is not due to a lack of standard for electronic communication.
Sometimes you have to deal with providers that do not have digital records, sometimes they are old medical records that were not digitized, sometimes the insurance companies do it on purpose to drag things out
- Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen 1 month ago:
Such a standard has existed for decades. It’s called HL7
- Comment on Health management platforms have to be the biggest waste of money I've ever seen 1 month ago:
You don’t have a clear picture.
My Chart is just a module of Epic systems. If it’s accessible to you, it means your healthy care provider uses epic as EMR. You data is there, that’s how the hospital or health care provider office works
