  What is this AI everywhere concept actually supposed to accomplish for the end user? Maybe I’m just behind on the vision but I can’t grasp the point. I have a feeling it’s not really about what the users want but I’d love to here a genuinely good use case.

  But Wikipedia actually is crowd sourced data verification. Every AI prompt response is made up on the fly and there’s no way to audit what other people are seeing for accuracy.

  Yet I still have to go to the page for the episode lists of my favorite TV shows because every time I ask AI which ones to watch it starts making up episodes that either don’t exist or it gives me the wrong number.

  Because you have to be tech savvy to understand what the fediverse is or how ActivityPub works so it sets the filter for a userbase that evangelizes emerging technology.

  If Lemmy is supposed to be the place where the most tech savvy people in the interest congregate, and everyone in the comments is unsatisfied with AI then we really do have a problem. These companies have all reached a point where they no longer listen to their most informed customer base but instead take 100% of direction from investors who don’t even know what they want except a line going up.

  That’s by design though. They get rich off selling us the promise of something being the next frontier of personal sovereignty.

  How I would love to just look at them and say “actually you’re the liberal” and watch them lose their minds.

  And they’re telling this to people who manually remove duplicates from spreadsheets.

  But you can’t shop at Target with some random app, only the Target app. Even a small business has an accessible pathway to publish their app. Besides Fortnite and my gimbal nobody out here trying to educate customers on how to install their apk file.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They know it doesn’t work this is just a cash grab by rental car companies hoping to squeeze extra profit knowing most people won’t fight it under the guise of digital transformation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t see the value in nginx. I just want a web server that does one thing and has easy config. It’s called LAMP for a reason not LNMP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Any programming language other than Java or Dotnet. Apache web server over Microsoft IIS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lightweight blog ?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use the parsedown library with a custom PHP index page to serve markdown files as HTML.

  Zero, it’s always outdated versions of Firefox or Chrome (if a UA is even provided at all)
