AI will be amazing for manufacturing consent: whatever narrative you need to push/counter on this particular day, just add a sentence into the instruction and it’ll propagate everywhere, from generated to suggested content.

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — for ever.

Is there a TACTICAL version with BULLETPROOF CASING for REAL MEN?

rose flavored tho I’m not an animal

If you can afford to spend 10 bucks a month for a search engine, Kagi is pretty sleek. No ads, you can block/prioritize websites, good bangs, convinient CSS field for easy modding.

It does AI stuff too, but it’s optional as the other non-standard search output fields.

I wonder if it creates more inhouse sysadmin jobs? When you buy a license from M$ you also get tech support. But if you have problems with open source, you gotta go get a computer person

A single message now generates 20 different summaries and analyses, requiring a rack of GPUs and a diesel generator.

We’re so lucky that electricity is unlimited and free, otherwise it might’ve caused a serious problem.

Sure, if I want to pay per message/call. I could also hire a butler to do all my chores for me, alas I am not a Swedish royalty.

Central Asia, businesses here do not have websites. They put a listing on aggregators with a phone number and may be an instagram account.

The problem is not that I’m not using signal (I am), its that I also have to use telegram and\or whatsapp if I want to contact anyone without sending them an sms, or a pigeon.

So all this bloat still affects me, whether I “just use signal” or not.

I cant schedule an appointment at the vet with signal.

Like it or hate it (personally I prefer the latter, posting there I felt like a middle schooler with a PUNCH ME sticker on my face) it was a great source of indexable data on programming.

I wonder how will this affect future search and llms, now that all similar questions are being asked in private llm threads.

They look like Thin Men aliens from Xcom

Fair enough :)

Steam has an algorithm feeding you game suggestions

Its almost as if a single dimension is not big enough to describe the diversity of human political thought.

I hate so much that this has a 100% chance of becoming a norm. Narrator can make a mediocre book shine, or turn a good book into a fucking rollercoaster (Andy Serkis, anyone?)

AI? Not a great narrator. Its character voices are boring, intonations weird, pacing awful. I’d honestly rather get an amateur narrating it for fun, over a robot sounding like a knock-off Morgan Freeman.

Most MS controversial features go through “opt in -> opt out -> mandatory” pipeline examples are Telemetry, Windows Live account, Spotlight (ui ads), etc.

Went there first since I consider myself a leftist. Seen multiple thirstposts for Stalin and the likes: pretty picture with a popular quote. Comments all in the realm of “yes daddy”.

I hate capitalism as much as the next guy, just don’t see a point of swapping it for an equally bad form of repression.

Could you imagine 20 years ago that forum troll culture would lead to international obsession with owning the libs… Brb gonna blow up the world economy cause europe is too gay lmao

I have a split 40% because I type for a living and normie keyboards destroy my wrists.

I think you’re spot on with “young people dumb”. Takes a while to figure out… like, everything.

Generations will have different strong and\or weak areas because their environment changes, but our sum total of “competence” will stay the same IMHO.
