Exactomundo!

The only reason that last paragraph ain’t outright ai garbage (besides my elegant use of ‘everyperson’, mind you) is that there is a semi-original though buried at the end of it. This paragraph is odacious, so point taken.

Thank goodness. I was worried there for a second.

Or maybe even take a step back. Dead internet theory is real and we’re living it, but just because the main subreddits and FB are ai schlock doesn’t mean Lemmy is the only ‘real’ place.

I feel the hardest part is keeping my senses about me when I argue with hivemind mentality. You will probably get a feeling from my writing, that I too embraced the hive speak and mind. And this is where the bots get the everyperson. Bots speak in hivemind and meme format. I think this whole kerfuffle will do wonders for real online discussion, as low-effort discussions will be dismissed as white noise.

It’s still fun to hear the man himself talking about a larger than life virtual reality.

The tech still scares me, I’m not even sure I’d be okay with EEG-like patches that work both ways (scifi, I know), not to mention brain surgery, for pure decadence. But the quality of life benefits really can be huge for many, and that really got my fantasy going, once I ‘accepted’ we figured out the limits and safeties of bodily autonomy.

Where were you for the last decade? I’d think tiktok is starting to wind down by now, but me and my shaking stick wouldn’t know that.

There’s no guarantee anyone on there (or here) is a real person or genuine.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t a baked-in feature of meatspace either. I’m a fan of solipsism and Last Thursdayism personally. Also propaganda posters.

The CMV sub reeked of bot/troll/farmer activity, much like the amitheasshole threads. I guess it can be tough to recognize if you weren’t there to see the transition from authentic posting to justice/rage bait.

We’re still in the uncanny valley, but it seems that we’re climbing out of it. I’m already being ‘tricked’ left and right by near perfect voice ai and tinkered with image gen. What happens when robots pass the imitation game?

Yeah, but providing that push at the wrong time… Maybe I just presented it the wrong way. I think there was some snootiness to how I advocated it. Like I knew more than them, which might be the case… but it’s still alienating.

Maybe we can wait until they ask.

Just put on some moosic.

Only being used because someone is paying you to do it, then snuffed out after an extended death throe.

Naw, you’re right. There are still ways to get a decent windows experience, but it will fall to the domain of power users.

I personally see MS not really caring about their windows users. With more than enough revenue from enterprise to keep them going for decades, they will lose grip on gamers and older casual users, who remember windows before the marketplace and preinstalled adware.

With all the flavors of Linux (and a proper walled garden like Apple), I’m thinking Windows will follow Skype in the next decade or so.

By not switching to Na based batteries and keeping a lid on Li mining.

But they had a good run. God knows I stayed with windows thanks to my skype account being accepted. But even those day are bygone.

Maybe the time is right for a 3rd party to rise?

They’ll have their hands full extracting the lithium from the dead Tesla batteries.

While I am sure there are many people for whom it’s not true for, but making a point out of ‘look, even jews are protesting against themselves, surely I’m not antisemitic for wanting the same thing’ seems to be a phrase you need to publish if you are unsure if you are a racist.

I sometimes fish around these posts and check for good faith dialogue, but it’s usually just seething and steam release. I can’t really be angry with anyone seeing red, as it is a truly atrocious situation. It’s just hard to see racism spill through and being upvoted.

You skipped a whole generation there.

Just make it sodium based, and a good crying jag will replenish the battery.

Imagine how juicy of a deal it is if it was worth all the bad will AND litigations. Is Bayer still German? Funny how a leader in GMO can be based in Europe now.

I don’t believe this part holds up. The type of sequencing you’re talking about is an incredibly labor- and time-intensive task. The good folk at these fastfood laboratories are just comparing historical markers and shooting off a list of what those markers tell about you.

It still remains to be seen if insurance companies will eat this data up or not, but they will have trouble providing any justification for dismissing claims without sounding pretty racist.

Maybe his fetish is government sponsored cucking.
