• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This is all kinda moot. There will be no companies to run when the economy crashes because there is no one to buy goods (or even to pay taxes to support government spending). It’s a giant house of cards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Neither. Version control and remote sync to your self hosted gitlab or gitea, or whatever (or no remote at all if you wanna go gambling with your hard drive).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨America wants AI that doesn't care about misinformation, DEI, and climate change⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  AI, crypto, just like .com, are very much very real, valuable technologies that have and will continue to stick around and be used until we destroy ourselves, or something even more advanced comes along.

  What was/is a grift, is all the stupid money and people around it that don’t have a damn clue where the limits of the technologies actually lie, what kinds of real problems are solved and have been sold lies stop lies without doing their due diligence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Single Purpose Devices - reclaiming control over your technology⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the objective to “reclaim control over your technology”, or is it to be a single purpose device? I can think of a lot of single purpose devices loaded with subscriptions and telemetry, and just as many general purpose computing platforms without that crap that let you be in control.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get in the pod, inhale the fumes.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Commuting to office (by car) daily is the real problem. Road trips by car are incredibly freeing and not miserable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OP, you are in for a seriously rough time if you think containing micro plastics is as simple as removing lead from gasoline and paint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Fediverse stalling?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming a constant rate of change of anything involving people over a period of ten years is straight up nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not just Bikinis. It’s all swim wear, saunas in Europe, baths in Japan. It’s just socially acceptable and expected in the right context, and that expectation plays a huge role in comfort. The context seems to flip a switch in people’s brain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bumble's AI icebreakers are mainly breaking EU law⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An AI message for dating? Have people just given up on living?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Congrats on your five and a half twins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you get over a breakup with someone who was (and is) also a very close friend?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You didn’t mention how long you were together. General rule of thumb, it takes just as long for the feelings in a relationship to fade as it takes for them to grow.

  Also, generally speaking, if the breakup is sudden, unammicable, or leaving you confused, that’s probably a sign that there was poor communication in the relationship. Relationships are built on communication, not feelings. This is a good time to evaluate how you can be a better communicator. Do not blame or wallow in the shortcomings of your ex, this will just stunt your growth as a person, and perpetuate how you are currently feeling.

  My advice, focus on you and your future. 23 is incredibly young. What you are going through and feeling is extremely common. You have lots of time to meet new people, but focus on yourself first.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And then I'll sell my AI, so everyone can make drawings - EVERYONE can be an artist! And when everyone's an artist... no one will be⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a different take.

  AI today is basically a mechanical school. Students are trained to give a specific answer. This is at the heart of how all machine learning works, including generative AI. Even image generators do this.

  “Here’s a million examples of what the pixelated representation of a hand looks like; now go and make a derivative copy.”

  This is fine for objective facts, like physics and history. It is useless for art.

  Merely drawing a hand is not art, it’s an objective truth (do typical humans have 5 or 6 fingers?). But art school is not about objective truths. Art school teaches creativity. Specifically challenging ideas and expression.

  AIs can’t fundamentally challenge ideas and express themselves because they lack personal experience, personality and individuality.

  Society at large has been fooled into thinking that speech (LLM) and other generative AI lead to AGI. But the reality is that these models have more in common with encyclopedias and stock image libraries than intelligence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAZANOKE v1.1.0: Self-hosted local image optimizer in your browser — now supports HEIC, clipboard paste, and more⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Surely the SVGO package can be compiled into a browser bundle.

  I might look into this myself…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MAZANOKE v1.1.0: Self-hosted local image optimizer in your browser — now supports HEIC, clipboard paste, and more⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this support SVG, i.e. SVGOMG? If not, that’s a glaring omission.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo president responds to Switch 2 price increase fears amid Trump tariff fallout⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right. The only difference between a tariff and a VAT, is that the VAT applies to all products indiscriminately, where as a tariff only applies to imported goods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe keep your shitty politics out of your shitty product next time, and then you won’t face political consequences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fucking leeches⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a line to draw between exploiting tenants, and compensation for providing dwelling.

  You might even argue the OP creates this ambiguity based on interpretation of the wording, or poor communication.

  For a productive conversation, let’s be crystal clear where that line is drawn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe it’s the other way around… Maybe people predisposed to being lied to will have political views that are that lie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Americans don’t really value freedom. Not really. Americans pretend they like freedom, but they will give up all their freedoms for the slightest bit of convenience, and because social media told them so.

  Am I talking about consumer electronics, or politics? Impossible to say.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  US policy doesn’t get to dictate how websites operate in non US jurisdiction. The US acting like it gets to bully the rest world into doing whatever it wants is the whole issue at hand. That’s the point: the trump admin wants to use US influence to intimidate, bully, and antagonize other countries by disrespecting their sovereignty.

  The generation that warned their children about brain rot have succumbed to that brain rot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta’s AI Profiles Are Already Polluting Instagram and Facebook With Slop⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tobacco company selling cigarettes to kids. More at 11.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty liberal and haven’t had much issue with lemmy.ml. Stay away from lemmygrad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 1 Reddit Refugee⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been on Lemmy since the App/API ban. Haven’t looked back at reddit since, other than the occasional search result pointing to someone’s q&a.

  Side note, anyone else tired of all the sanitized AI slop that pervades search results? The only websites worth visiting these days are user forums (incl. reddit/Lemmy) and wikipedia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is no justice in the US right now. Why bother holding this person accountable when we can’t even hold the highest position in the land accountable for their crimes. The social fabric is unraveling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First we learned that idiocracy was a documentary. Now we are learning that Minority Report was a documentary too.

  Damn, what a time to be alive.

  This situation has come to be, through the ignorance and inaction of ordinary people. Your attitude is part of the problem.

  Corporate censorship. These companies are too powerful and tyrannical.
