  I feel like that’s gonna end up full of water after a few years even if it’s supposedly waterproof. Like a small pool that silica gel can’t help with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When making a post that fits multiple communities, should I just pick the most relevant/popular one or repost to the other ones as well?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the crossposting feature lemmy has effectively does this, but I’m not sure

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come there is enough asphalt for speed bumps, but not enough to fill potholes ?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not so much about the asphalt as it is about the humans being paid to put the asphalt down. There are lots of potholes to be fixed and not as many speed bumps that need to be made, so the speed bumps get finished before the potholes do.

  I peeped the horror. It wasn’t funny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that’s probably fair, i haven’t run many of the smaller models yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could potentially run some smaller MoE models as they don’t take up too much memory while running. I’d suspect the deepseek r1 8B distill with some quantization would work well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If scientists could make you immortal but could only do it by transferring your consciousness into a single video game for ever, which game would you choose?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A could follow-ups, are we limited by the rules of the game, or is it like we’re actually living there? Like if I’m in gta v, do i get to pick up a pencil and write a book, is everything in the game at real-life fidelity, or am i stuck with the regular game inputs and graphics?

  Am i able to add mods to the game? Can i add new mods after my first startup? I would assume there’s a way to reset or restart the game in case of bugs and softlocks so maybe there’s a hub i can use to do those kinds of things.

  I think i might pick gmod + mods. That way i could build some interesting projects in sandbox, play games that people make for it, maybe even watch some YouTube early on before compatibility breaks. I’d also have a 1:1 scale model of the multiverse to explore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do AI bros and other staunch AI defenders seem happy about the potential of killing off the creative industries?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My guy, we live in a world where we are required to have a job to live. Most of those jobs are not essential for society to function. Some of these jobs make people happy and passionate, many others are soul grating and awful. This technology makes some of those enjoyable jobs much less lucrative while the product becomes worse. We simply lose things that bring people joy and for what? Like seriously, I cannot think of something an ai can bring to the table that a human cannot in terms of art.

  Why would you want to remove the jobs people enjoy and are passionate about just for the sake of it? Why would you campaign to strictly make people less happy? If it wasn’t for the horrible system we live in I’d be all for this kind of advancement, but it does not make life easier, it does not get us better things, and it almost exclusively makes life worse for millions of people with nothing to show for it.

  It’s convenience. That’s really it. And I don’t like to admit it, but that level of inconvenience is too high for me to try using it that way.
