That’s the first question I asked when I saw this.

It reminds me of how people hated on “defund the police” messaging. I got into an argument with someone that focused on the phrase alone and was completely uninterested in a genuine discussion about what it means. Like what do they expect? An entire novel written on a poster or a tweet to appease them? The point is to kick the conversation off, not spoon-feed you.

Now we need to figure out a handheld consumer version.

Yikes, don’t ever wank in front of your TV.

Can’t wait to get deported because I didn’t sign the paper that says I support Israel when I go to vote.

According to Wikipedia, they’re also referred to as “magic rabbit” 🥰

The good ol’ days!

AI as a concept is amazing, and some applications it’s being used for are equally amazing. It’s the mainstream AI drivel that I fucking hate.

But there’s also these things that put me off:

• the glaring lack of ethics behind the companies pushing it (Meta and Open AI for example) which is more a capitalism problem than anything
• the fact that it was built on plagiarism without consulting with artists and authors (who probably would’ve been open to the idea if it was presented with a level playing field)
• the fact that it always hallucinates (I can’t get it to stop making up arbitrary bullshit no matter what I do)
• the resources required and the stress it places on power grids and the environment (puts it out of reach for most end users since it requires a killer rig)
• the massive shortage of GPUs and the huge price hike (which we can also thank crypto for)

The idea of being able to run smaller models locally is amazing and everyone should play around with them. I find it to be fun for toy apps and experimenting, but I’ve yet to see a single good use case from the multitude of companies using it (with the exception of cases like you mentioned).

It’s my favorite video game subscription since Sega Channel. I get a ton of value out of it.

I would be more open to the “you don’t actually own your games” thing if I wasn’t being sold a digital thing that will definitely get pulled out of my hands at some point, for more than the cost of the physical copies we used to get ($70 minimum now, vs $40-50). And even in the case of The Crew, you got fucked regardless of having a physical copy or not.

I pay for GamePass knowing that I don’t own the games on there. It’s a subscription just like the Sega Channel was.

Online services going away is fine. That’s been a thing that’s happened for years with other games. But the game should still remain playable in some fashion. If it becomes fully inaccessible at the end of life, customers have a legitimate reason to be upset.

There’s what AI could’ve been (collaborative and awesome), and then there’s what the billionaire class is pushing today (exploitative shit that they hit everyone over the head with until they say they like it). But the folks frothing at the mouth over it are unwilling to listen to why so many people are against the AI we’ve had forced upon us today.

Yesterday, Copilot hallucinated four different functions when I asked it to refactor a ~20 line TS function, despite me handing it 2 helper files that contained everything available for it to use. If I can’t confidently ask it to do anything, it’s immediately useless to me. It’s like being stuck with an impulsive liar that you have to get the truth out of.

I just had Copilot hallucinate 4 separate functions, despite me giving it 2 helper files for context that contain all possible functions available to use.

AI iS tHe FuTuRE.

Crises are a feature of capitalism. Marx talked about this. Things become hell for the working class, and the capitalists reap the rewards.

I do have some anarchist tendencies.

I don’t have an issue with lemmy.ml users but that’s because I don’t use sweeping generalizations. I’ve had perfectly acceptable conversations with people across all kinds of instances.

I’m not a tankie but am a fan of parts of communism and I like socialism.

What’s happening with Mr. Beast? I’m out of the loop.

Paying for insurance in places like Florida is going to essentially equate to throwing money straight into a fire.
