I would argue we have seen return. Documentation is easier. Tools for PDF, Markdown have increased in efficacy. Coding alone has lowered the barrier to bringing building blocks and some understanding to the masses. If we could hitch this with trusted and solid LLM data, it makes a lot of things easier for many people. Translation is another.

I find it very hard to believe 95% got ZERO benefit. We’re still benefiting and it’s forcing a lot of change (in the real world). Example, more power use? More renewable energy, and even (yes safe) nuclear is expanding. Energy storage is next.

These ‘AI’ (broadly used) tools will also get better and improve the interface between physical and digital. This will become ubiquitous, and we’ll forget we couldn’t just ‘talk’ to computers so easily.

I’ll end with, I don’t say ‘AI’ is an overblown and overused and overutilized buzzword everywhere these days. I can’t say about bubbles and shit either. But what I see is a lot of smart people making LLMs and related technologies more efficient, more powerful, and is trickling into many areas of software alone. It’s easier to review code, participate, etc. Literal papers are published constantly about how they find new and better and more efficient ways to do things.

Remember when he had Zelenskyy in the White House and they just picked on him, and made him thank them. Pepperidge Farms remembers. What a total asshole. Like. Trump should be synonymous with toilets or something.

Sounds good until you remember that they keep trying to backdoor encryption. It’s asinine.

The only good thing the Trump admin JD Vance has done: UK will back down over its demands on Apple for an encryption backdoor

This isn’t the first time it’s come up. In EU too.

Yes it sucks. And it’s not the only one. I’ve recently been seeing scam ‘official site’ of a real site. Then in another occasion it was looking for a product. I couldn’t remember if it was just .com or .net. The product was not even within the first two pages of results.

I also tried DuckDuckGo.

Meanwhile I tried Kagi, first result for both, each time. I was swapping to Linux and didn’t have my Kagi login handy at the time. Anyway

It’s a HUGE difference today in search. To find what you need through all this other extra shit. Good Search is more important now than ever imho.

Self-cleaning genes in the pool though? 😝

This guys is a total piece of shit. Look at the horrible way the family has been ‘involved’ with the case too, according to them:

the family said in a statement. “Latah County should be ashamed of its Prosecutor’s Office. Four wonderful young people lost their lives, yet the victims’ families were treated as opponents from the outset. We weren’t even called about the plea; we received an email with a letter attached. That’s how Latah County’s Prosecutor’s Office treats murder victims’ families. Adding insult to injury, they’re rushing the plea, giving families just one day to coordinate and appear at the courthouse for a plea on July 2.”

The family statement went on to say: “After more than two years, this is how it concludes with a secretive deal and a hurried effort to close the case without any input from the victims’ families on the plea’s details. Our family is frustrated right now and that will subside and we will come together as always and deal with the reality that we face moving forward.”

It’s insane that it’s tied up in the courts. He’ll be long dead before they even sort that shit out, let alone this one thing. I’m at a loss here as to what to say. I wish those people were never put there, they didn’t deserve to be done like that; and especially in regard of it being done without any rights to due process here.

That is chilling, and dark, and should absolutely not be allowed to go unchecked. What the fuck??

Eyewitness News Reporter Sid Garcia spoke to the protester who was shot from his hospital bed at the L.A. General Medical Center.

I was thinking at first like, how lucky to be in a hospital bed already when being shot. 🧐

He’s also a whiny little bitch. With a thin fucking skin, and a lack of morals.

BBC said they (Israel) wrote:

But in a post on X early on Monday, the Israeli foreign ministry said: "While Greta and others attempted to stage a media provocation whose sole purpose was to gain publicity - and which included less than a single truckload of aid - more than 1,200 aid trucks have entered Gaza from Israel within the past two weeks, and in addition, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has distributed close to 11 million meals directly to civilians in Gaza. “There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip - they do not involve Instagram selfies.”

Wow. What a prick.

I got a three day ban on Reddit after saying something about ‘human blenderizing’ the dude who did this.

It’s not even a real word, nor even an actual real object. I fucking hate Reddit. I wish Lemmy had more traffic.

RIP 🪦 We will miss you.

Right?? Wtaf??

“I told X to hit me in the face” (paraphrased)

If only that kid had had a sharp object in his hand at the time. He’s already on his way to being a Numba 2. 💩

Ja kiitos!

Grandpa had one. But it was welded shut at the handle and the bottom had a big hole in it so you could see inside!

Bro and sis cat that I have; Bro is a big tough guy but acts like the most whiny cow when he’s getting his nails trimmed. Sister; she panics and can’t even get started then her brother panics because she’s panicking.

🤡

Better safe than sorry. Especially if it wasn’t expected to be there in the first place.
