- Comment on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly 2 days ago:
This cynicism towards LLMs here truly boggles my mind. So many people seem to build their entire identity around feeling superior about themselves due to all the products and services they don’t use.
I think they’re just scared as hell of the possible negative effects and react instinctively. But the cat is out of the bag and downvoting / hating on every post on Lemmy that mention positive sides is not going to help them steer the world into whatever alternative destiny that they’re hoping for.
The thing that puzzles me is that this is typically the hallmark of older more conservative generations, and I imagine that Lemmy has a relatively young demographic.

The anti-AI hivemind here will hate me for saying it but I’m willing to bet $100 that this saves a significant number of lives. It’s also indicative of how insufficient traditional mental health institutions are.

Well, it has been my experience that kindness is in the eye of the beholder.
- Comment on No excuses 3 weeks ago:
You don’t know what someone is going through, and everybody is the way they are because of a background that they didn’t choose.
That said, sometimes being unkind is the most effective way of pushing people toward a better path.

Indeed. This is their job and they’re using company resources to pay someone else to do it for them.

- Comment on Necessary post procedure care for vasectomy 4 weeks ago:
IIRC was prescribed like 30 ejaculations over the course of two months. I could be wrong about the exact number but I remember thinking I had to actually put an effort and some consistency in it if I was going to hit the target.

- Comment on Notepad gets AI features like Summarize, Write, and Rewrite, using local and cloud models. 5 weeks ago:
Why does everyone assume that programmers can just go and fix stuff they don’t like without getting shot down in performance reviews for lack of focus or changing things without product owners approval.
We have a prioritized list of work items coming in from the PO and that’s what we work on. There’s generally no room for creativity. Supporting larger files in Notepad in particular would increase maintenance costs due to requiring much more complex memory management, and it would label you as not being a team player for increasing complexity for everyone.

One of the best features of notepad was that it starts quickly. That feature is now gone. :(
- Comment on What use a smart card reader? 1 month ago:
You can store a private/public key pair on a smart card and use it for digitally signing or encrypting things like email, or just for authenticating to your PC. Some banks also support authentication by client certificate; web browsers can access your smart card for authenticating to web sites.

These arguments would apply the same to Google’s approach. My argument is that Google appears to have another agenda.

If they only cared about thwarting malware they could have just relied on code signing via public certificate authorities, like with binaries on Windows.
