Elon Musk was defending UBI recently.

This version of UBI is a capitalist trap. Make everything a subscription, make everything rented not owned, replace most jobs with AI, give you a monthly allowance. Now you need to feed all that money into their products and services, and they can make sure you’ll never have enough to escape. Its feudalism with extra steps and some computers.

WHY poison Wikipédia with AI? I don’t get it, what satisfaction does a person get from adding text they didn’t write to Wikipédia? It’s not like you get a gold medal, or your neighbor sees you as a hero, or you get a discount at McDonald’s, there’s no glamour on being an editor, so why even bother if you’re not going to write quality content out of passion?

Please leave Wikipédia alone, you don’t have to shove your AI bullshit everywhere, please leave somewhere in this god forsaken internet alone. Why must AI bros touch everything.

Plus, if “working harder” meant getting a fever, like a CPU getting warmer with a power virus, a gym session would be a death sentence.

The clear mind you get at the gym and meditation are very different, but both are great. Have both.

I wonder if developers will finally start taking middle end GPUs and the existing handhelds seriously.

There are “Deck optimized” games that run horrendously. But what if people can’t afford new hardware for the next four years? It’s either fix the performance or lose sales. The Switch 2 is likely going to become the most common performance target, and having only 12GBs of shared memory, it actually helps PCs in this situation.

Until the day CPUs aren’t sold to you either. Just the weakest most useless little blob of silicon that’s enough to connect to their servers, and then you run everything on the server.

I’ll never game or do my general computing as a subscription to a server.

If it comes a day when I can’t buy a GPU and run a game myself, I’m not going to game anymore. Simple as that.

AI doesn’t reason, so it heavily depends on what’s been presented in the training set.

Python is everywhere and most importantly whatever you can think exists in Python, from critical bioinformatics tools to somebody learning programming from the first time and posting their prime number finder or sorting algorithm online.

Rust? Not at that point yet, so the AI fails

Krita + a drawing tablet works really well by the way

I use DAV5x to sync my contacts with Purelymail, love it too.

But for calendars I use a paper planner instead

Not only do I not allow notifications, I minimize the amount of apps to the most extreme degree. I don’t even have a digital calendar or calculator on my phone.

If they’re as good at the game as LLMs are at writing, the bots would probably try to build a Nether portal using black wool instead of obsidian, then set it on fire, then die burning on said fire.

The correct sense, yes.

One of the rules was no AI during development, they voluntarily claimed they didn’t use it.

They used it. Sure, in a minor way, but they used it and got caught.

The rules are the rules. Some chess events ban caffeine, we might laugh and say drinking a cup of coffee is not a big deal - but they’d be disqualified.

Sometimes people deserve a reason to celebrate

didn’t hear of Librewolf, Floorp or Waterfox apparently

So projects that depend entirely on Firefox, and therefore the idea of boycotting Firefox and making it economically not viable means also killing these forks… Hmm… I feel like there might be a logical flaw somewhere here…

But Lemmy told me Firefox was over and AI would be forced upon every single text field, and that we should migrate to Chrome forks maintained by 15 year old children!

Over here that would still possibly be a problem depending on the expected association the customer makes.

“I want some Coke”

“Got it, and will that be a medium?”

“What size is a medium?”

“400ml”

Then the implicit expectation is 400ml of the Coke being ordered

Why not include it with thw taxes?

With Americans, the answer is always some private entity mixed in the middle that will make money out of it.
