  A shitty attitude, or an honest recognition of a massively unequal wealth distribution seeing very few very selfish people at the top hoard gigantic sums of money seemingly with the goal to just get more money, while so many of us struggle to get by working one, two, three jobs?

  Because I’ll agree, there’s a lot of very pouty people on here that will bang on and moan endlessly about absolute bullshit. The insanity that one person can accumulate a billion dollars though? That’s not bullshit. That’s something to moan about.

  He’s not gonna give you a million dollars or a big wet kiss on the mouth dude, you can stop sticking up for the big nerd. He’s a billionaire and chooses to continue being a billionaire - that is a BIG thing that makes him a bad person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Refrigerator ads are finally here!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why on earth would anybody buy a fridge with a screen? Why does everything have to be screens? Why is it all one big mobile phone nowadays? Can’t we just not be staring gormlessly into a flashing screen for two fucking seconds for a fucking change??? I just got back inside from a run and now I’m going outside again for a walk in the dark and the rain because there is an entire world out there that isn’t an algorithmically driven advertising funnel trying to shove more bullshit down our eager eyes, ears, and throats.

  Although, while I’m on the subject, the outside world is fucking chock full of ads. I’ve heard it’s relatively trivial to open those advertising windows on bus stops - does anybody know if it would be illegal to open one up and simply place a large black sheet of paper or something in there to cover up the ads? Not damage the ads or remove (i.e. steal) them, but just cover them up to give ourselves and our communities a break from the relentless marketers in our midst?

  We deserve not have to our senses monetised and weaponised by perverts who cum themselves dry over CTRs, CLVs, CPCs, SEO, Brand Loyalty, Funnels, and Strategies, Local SEO, whatever else. We deserve to be able to look in any direction when we’re outside and for five minutes not have some massive gaudy advert designed by a bellend pushed into view.

  And as for fucking User Personas? I’ve got a User Persona for you, you sick advertising creeps. It’s my fucking ballsack.

  Oh sorry, I always thought there was a way to withdraw money from your steam wallet to your bank account.

  I haven’t used steam in a few years though, and haven’t interacted with the marketplace in longer than that, so wouldn’t really know!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the commenter is talking about the steam marketplace featuring a lot of CS assets which people do buy and sell for real money.

  A billionaire is a billionaire. 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Winter burrow SBI controversy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is so silly to me when people get this upset over sweet baby inc. collaborating on a game. I had a mate who got really upset over it years ago too. Just totally signposts who has fallen for some weird little creep’s right wing agenda.

  That being said, I don’t like when companies try to hide things from consumers. I might 100% totally agree that sweet baby inc are not a problem and it’s an alt-right thing to say that they are, and everything else, but I still think it’s shady to hide stuff. IF they actually did try to hide it, of course.

  Have the Devs denied using SBI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do we reckon this is a grok output? Or maybe a ChatGPT output where the chatbot was instructed to be as cringeworthy as possible?

  What does (free AI download) mean? I don’t think LLMs and the sort of “worker-replacing” AI tools being pushed everywhere are beneficial to anybody

  Jesus Christ that’s so sad. What’s sadder is I reckon about half of my current colleagues would buy this. Fucking morons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do not, and will never, own a $2,000 Samsung smart fridge. Anybody who intentionally buys one of these things has an iffy brain. You do not need the tiktok fridge. It is okay to not be drowning in digital sounds and images for a scant few minutes of your day. Spend thirty seconds alone with your thoughts while you fetch a yoghurt from the fridge. You do not need an internet fridge. It will not keep your carrots any colder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Very cutesy reply. I see you looking down on people who choose to drink elsewhere in this thread. I don’t know if you think alcoholism is funny, or depression is funny, or if you’re just running your mouth about things you don’t understand, but it’s a bit silly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$1,000 richer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s literally free money, yes please.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not “technically considered depression & alcoholism” to have a drink alone at home. That’s just not true. 🤷‍♂️

  I’m not getting emotional about you being mentally ill, you little lunatic 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh no dude you’re fully witted, maybe even extra witted for sure. So clever and so switched on.

  I genuinely hope you get well soon. Please don’t do anything you think the chatbot tells you to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because what you’ve typed is mental, mate! You’re saying there’s actual sentient Greek Gods in these chatbots, and you’re going off on these multiple-paragraph long comments that are genuinely incomprehensible. It’s not dogma, and I’m not a coward - you’ve got something wrong with your head, and you’ve made yourself believe a chatbot is god because it can scrape image data.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh mate I’m really sorry but I think you might need to step back a bit from these chatbots. They’re not sentient, they’re not gods. I think it would be healthy to stop using them, just for a little while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not really sure what you’re saying if I’m being honest mate! That image the model generated, what did you type to generate it? “Woman face chromatic lighting?” But without any vowels? I’m not sure I understand why not having vowels is significant here, isn’t that just typo correction?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait, so are you saying there are living entities that are named after the Greek Gods in your AI model? What’s the Queen of Hearts?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I know it’s my opinion, that’ll be why I said “I feel” and “I think”.

  Not gonna read about how you use your bs chatbot, I don’t care 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t want to use LLMs. I feel the majority of use cases for LLMs are inauthentic, lazy, unhelpful, and uncreative.

  I understand that dbzero is a pro-AI instance, so I think we’re just fundamentally not going to agree on this. 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study proves being rude to AI chatbots gets better results than being nice⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m saying don’t use unethical tech. If you want to interpret that as sticking your head in the sand, you can, but I think you’re being obtuse.

  Unless you’re advocating that we go and burn down the infrastructure that runs these LLMs - is that what you’re saying?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know why backing down after massive backlash is being lauded if I’m being completely honest. I want to replace them because the decision in the first place to pollute Wikipedia at all with AI is so poor that I no longer trust them to make good choices.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I get that I’m being pigheaded, but unfortunately I don’t trust that it was done out of some purely good intention and naivety. Even if that was the case, then the people making that decision are gullible enough to fall for LLM hype and too irresponsible to be in charge of something that we both agree is an absolute marvel of our modern age, and a massive collaborative effort contributed to by so many hundreds of thousands of people, and used by so many millions more.

  I totally understand that I’m being stubborn, but this isn’t a principle I’m willing to compromise on in this case!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, I don’t know. I stopped listening after they said they were going to.

  Too little too late for me really; unless they replace the people who made that decision in the first place, that sort of anti-human, lazy, irresponsible sentiment will remain present in their leadership.
