He said it best. Thanks, pardner 🤠
- Comment on The family of teenager who died by suicide alleges OpenAI's ChatGPT is to blame 17 hours ago:
The difference between a cure and a poison is the dose. LLMs are no different. If it’s your gut reaction to go to an LLM with a critical thinking challenge first, you’ve already lost. Semantic mirror is a great description. It’s similar to writing information you already know down as notes. You’re giving your brain a new way to review and interpret the information. If you weren’t capable of solving the problem traditionally, but just with more time, I’d have to imagine it’s unlikely the LLM will bridge that gap.
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 1 day ago:
Just had this conversation oddly enough. I’m of the mindset that consenting adults can do as they please BUT power dynamics I feel are far more important than age. If your power dynamics is unbalanced, you can be the same age and have it all go wrong if they’re your manager for instance, but if you’re 18 and your 40-year-old coworker who works in the same dept wants to jump your bones, I say no harm, no foul.

I think about this whenever I pick up a spider or similar on my car. I’m transporting them the equivalent of entire planets beyond their perspective. What new world will I bring them to?
- Comment on Microsoft Word documents will be saved to the cloud automatically on Windows going forward 1 day ago:
I’ve been using it for over a decade now and have only rarely come across broken documents due to proprietary features. If you’re making docs for yourself, I’d say it’s pretty much a 100% replacement. Things can get a bit more fucky if you’re having exchanges where you edit with Libre and someone else edits with Word. But other than that, they’re pretty darn close.
- Comment on If Lemmy disappeared tomorrow, what would you use instead ? 3 days ago:
At this point, I’d assume there’s just not going to be a platform with my time anymore. At least with Lemmy, there were distinct waves (I came in with the 3rd party app wave). If Lemmy just disappeared and everyone just meandered wherever, I’d probably just abandon the feed altogether.

Just added an edit for a game I found tonight.
- Comment on makes more sense than this shit 6 days ago:
This kills me because the concept looks great, but I’m never really into survival. Hate kill screens in immersive games.

- Comment on The forgotten war on the Walkman 1 week ago:
Oh neat! Didn’t know this was a thing. Not something I need, but glad to know it exists.
I’d be surprised if it was anything other than the cheap mechanisms everything else gets. There’s very few companies manufacturing them and Techmoan is always on top of modern cassette systems and hasn’t brought it up. I could always be wrong, though.
- Comment on The forgotten war on the Walkman 1 week ago:
Fiio player? If you’re referring to the Echo Mini, it’s just a digital player. It’s just aesthetically a tape player.
- Comment on Windows 11 test brings AI file search to the Copilot app 1 week ago:
I haven’t used the built in search once ever since coming across Everything Search. Literally finds every match as you type. Go figure a third party can make a better OS-level search better than M$.

“We’re sorry. You’ve used all of your brake hours for the month. Please pay $59.99 for the next 10 braking hours.
- Comment on Cat - "THIS is what you hoomans look at on your internet?" 1 week ago:
Well, that’s why they say “On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog.” They share our internet. Cats wouldn’t dare be caught on the same internet as dogs. Think of the optics!
- Comment on I hate Wireless devices. 1 week ago:
Good god I hate this. As soon as that prompt sounds, your battery might as well be dead. Why does it continuously repeat it?! If my battery is low and I only have a few minutes left to listen to my music, the last thing I want is to be constantly interrupted.
I swear no one who manufactures Bluetooth headphones has ever used them.
- Comment on If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked? 1 week ago:
Neat! I have really strong vision, but know how to force them out of focus. It’s weird not being able to blur my vision when I’m doing this.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 1 week ago:
I’ve recently taken to considering Large Language Models like essay assistants. Sure, people will try and use it to replace the essay entirely, but in its useful and practical form, it’s good at correcting typos, organizing scattered thoughts, etc. Just like an English teacher reviewing an essay. They don’t necessarily know about the topic you’re writing about, but they can make sure it’s coherent.
I’m far more excited for a future with things like Large Code or Math or Database models that are geared towards very particular tasks and the different models can rely on each other for the processes they need to take.
I’m not sure what this will look like, but I expect a tremendous amount of carefully coordinated (not vibe-coded) frameworks would need to be made to support this kind of communication efficiently.
- Comment on Vampire Survivors is getting an official board game 1 week ago:
I can’t wait for the end game where all the other players are throwing hundreds of game pieces at you and you deflect them with a clove of garlic.

The forest time I updated some 50 programs by running a single update command, I wondered why it hasn’t been the standard since the start.

Man. I sure wish this tap needed an internet connection to function…
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Been playing Tower Networking Inc. Pretty challenging networking game that teaches you how to setup core routes and such. Very fun if you’re a nerd like myself.

Just by the fact that these were 1-bit screens was enough to alert me something was afoot.

- Comment on I hate it when psychopaths assert their authority. Sure, guy I've never met before I'm going walk into this seedy ally where you will mug me only because you told me to, but dont be so rude about it. 3 weeks ago:
This was an excellent and sad read. You could tell just by the situation he felt he had no other way out. Almost like even people with a strong moral backing can eventually resort to crime that hurts others and this could have been prevented if he felt he had more support structures for his family.
Hmmm.
- Comment on OpenAI’s new model can't believe that Trump is back in office 3 weeks ago:
With all these safety measures, it is going to hallucinate and kill a family one if these days with bad advice.
Don’t worry. I’m sure that’s already been happening, but just isn’t getting reported on. Safety measures or not, AI is practically guaranteed to eventually give life-threatening advice.

I get downvotes on this every time I post it. Just lets me know it’s effective at its message.
- Comment on GitHub CEO delivers stark message to developers: Embrace AI or get out. 3 weeks ago:
While I don’t wish for this future, I do look forward to being one of the few that truly understands the ‘old way’ of computing like many here on Lemmy. All that knowledge I spent my youth acquiring may very well become insanely valuable in the next few decades because so many people will treat it as irrelevant.
I’ll feel a lot like this:

No more RISK. Too violent. Should probably ban Clue while we’re at it.
