  It’s not really the same kind of media at all, depending on what you watch. I guess what I look for in YouTube are interesting perspectives, often on things I haven’t even considered. Maybe something like blogs could partially replace it, but I’m not aware of any blogging platforms that have tons of interesting perspectives and things to talk about smd actually knows what to offer me.

  Also, some of these options are not pencils. For a pen I’d go for 5/6.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I recommend against Bluesky.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk this thole thread confuses me. I’m on est.social instance, I’m gonna assume I see everyone who hasnt excluded my instance and vice versa…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why I recommend against Bluesky.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry what do you mean? I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app (I haven’t used it much).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yeah my analogy is not so good… LLMs suck with factual stuff, they are better with coding or languages (Claude has been really helpful to me with Estonian).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well yes, they are glorified text autocomplete, but they still have their uses which could be considered “smart”. For example I was struggling with a programming thing today and an LLM helped me out, so in a way it is smarter than me in that specific thing. I think it’s less that they are dumb and more that they have no agency whatsoever, they have to be pushed into the direction you want. Pretty annoying…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly half of U.S. adults believe LLMs are smarter than they are.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LLMs are smart in the way someone is smart who has read all the books and knows all of them but has never left the house. Basically all theory and no street smarts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome, new users!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  can i see upvote and downvote count on it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The human hand is incredibly good at seeing what's inside your pocket⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree, if my pocket is busy I need to take things out to tell the difference between them. Also, my hands can’t tell the difference between my cards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the minimum number of words needed to communicate⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure you can do some level of communication with zero words. If you get really desperate, pull up a translator app like deepl.

  Apparently that was a misunderstanding, he communicated badly. Or I’m thinking of something else, idk. archive.ph/xoleo

  How about Anthropic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alphabet's Google urges US government to avoid breaking up firm, source says⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand.

  Too little too late, I wish there was a non-US alternative to YouTube.
