This is why I think people need to understand that it’s not AI. These companies using AI as a buzzword are shooting themselves in the foot.

Guy wouldn’t have been freaked out if he understood how these systems work

Absolutely not, but let me dream lol

Oh, for sure. I’m curious if when we get to that point, we’ll need some kind of universal basic income or something.

I would love if I could get a LLM to do my work. Fortunately/unfortunately it won’t happen any time soon.

I thought with the rise of computers it would reduce the amount of work we would have to do. Haha

I’m curious how this might alter how we work 10-15 years from now.

I signed up and made a post. I was shocked and then amused when somebody actually saw my post?! It made me realize I don’t understand how to even use a Twitter type of social media. Do I just post my thoughts? What’s up with that lol

I always just used Twitter as a way to see youtubers/streamers updates

I assume everything is bots, so I only check out streamers, youtubers, and artists on Twitter. It was bad before the Musk takeover but now it’s borderline unusable lol

Such a shame it turned out the way it did, but the writing was on the wall. Every single reddit announcement thread was a shit show aha. I guess in a way they were transparent about only being in it for the money. Their actions were always consistent

I can’t find the original post, but I did a Google search and found this.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download

I haven’t tried it yet, but there might be a better or easier way!

I’ve really wanted to one day go grab a personal collection like that for myself.

I also saw that you can download the entirety of Wikipedia, and it doesn’t take up too much space either. I think it was a post made here the other day? I thought that was pretty cool. So much knowledge at ones disposal

It’ll be okay. I remember panicking years ago when they attacked other ROM sites. The games will go back up. Maybe in another location, but they always go back up. They cut off one head and another two grow back

I feel like this has been the case for everything the past few years. Grocery prices seem to be following the same trend

Ohh this might! Thank you :)

Hey thank you for the links! I’ll check em out :D

I really like chromes tab grouping features, I wish firefox had that. But adblock is more important than groups so the change wasn’t too hard to deal with

Yeah, I could have, but it would have taken longer than 5 minutes of work, and I’m not nearly knowledgeable enough to take all the factors into account. I was posting this while taking a quick break etc.

I was just trying to add some hope to an otherwise gloomy topic.

But you’re right, I’m sure with some effort I could probably have at least a ballpark idea.

I saw a post the other day here that was saying something along the lines of “because china’s car market is swapping to EV’s we might be at the tipping point for climate change either in 2024 or 2025”

Which if true would be really nice. I have no idea of the validity of that claim, but i just wanted to add it. Maybe we aren’t so screwed? Fingers crossed I guess :3

If I’m recalling correctly, a couple of the larger subs had mods stop completely, and reddit just replaced them with power mods

Same. There’s been a few times I’ve needed info from reddit subs, but I’ve never interacted since. I miss some of the activity in the more niche subreddits, but I’m more productive with my time now so I guess that’s good lol

I had a car behind me with LED headlights the other day. When I would look in my rear view mirror, it appeared fine, but if I focused on the road, the refresh rate on the LED’s created a strobing effect, which was extremely distracting.

Oh ohh or my other favorite is when people have massive trucks that illuminate your whole car because of their lights. It would be nice if there was a required standard

Edit: Honestly, if it wasn’t for urban sprawl, stupidly cold winters, and these massive vehicles with aggressive drivers, I would prefer to just bike.

Oh damn. Thank you! I’ll have to do this at some point…eventually lol
