Love it when I can buy personal massage devices and heavy earth moving machinery from the same place

Well, I’m on Lemmy myself, so perhaps that’s some sort of an indication of where I prefer to discuss thing with people in general, not just about AI. My list of blocked users is rather vast though, so a big part of the loudest haters are being filtered out from my feed. That surely contributes to the better experience here - or atleast less bad.

Definitely prefered it over there at reddit, but I’m a man of principle so I’m not going back either.

No, but probably the dedicated subreddit

I couldn’t think of a worse platform to try and discuss this topic than Lemmy. The consensus here is essentially that big companies = bad, AI companies = big, and thus AI = bad.

…is how generative-AI haters redefine terms and move the goalposts to fight their cognitive dissonance.

Well first of all, I don’t personally think evil even exists.

Secondly, I don’t think these people are any more or less “evil” than the rest of us. They just operate on a much larger scale that affects many more people. If any of us normal folk would be put under equivalent level of scrutiny as these guys with journalists combing thru our every social media post and paparazzis following us around combined with the intention to dig up dirt and contribute to the negative narrative that sells better than a positive one, we’d all look like them. Most people don’t like Gates, Musk or Zuck because that’s the conclusion they’ve independently arrived at. It’s how they’ve been told to think by the media.

To be honest I’d feel stupid saying that alout at anyone. They’re not called that in my native language - I think.

Both spoons are the same size. Different size ones wouldn’t fit together like that.

It only sounds bad to the fringest of the fringe that’s deceivingly loud on twitter. Good luck trying to find even one real person thinking those terms should be changed. This kind of stuff is why people vote for Trump.

Advertisements are for a large part about brand recognization. Even if you’re not going to buy the product, the fact that you remember the brand means the ad has worked.

Musk really fucked everything up, did he?

Other than no longer being able to use an app to access twitter, I haven’t noticed anything else changing for the worse. They even made the “media” tab into grid rather than list which was a welcome update.

The line between anti-zioninist and anti-semitist has definitely been blurred to the point that assuming jew hatred is going to be the safest bet even if not correct in literally every case.

It’s okay to talk to women if you’re a male model but stay the fuck away if you aren’t. Got it.

Thanks. There’s plenty of instructions on how to do it but in my case the biggest issue would probably be sourcing a new Finnish keyboard for it

I’m using external keyboard on my macbook because the letter i is not working and replacing the keyboard means completely gutting the thing and ripping the old one out by force as it’s locked in place with plastic rivets.

I have never said communists are as bad as nazies. That would be ridiculous thing for me to say because I don’t think that. Nazies are legitimately insane and scary. Communists are just naive idealogues.

I wouldn’t be a fan of a nazi or islamist instance either. One for communists is hardly any different as far I’m concerned. They’re all groups of extremists that I don’t want anything to do with. Just look at the modlog of this instance for example. Exhibit B is the fact that this message will get deleted in couple hours and I’ll likely be banned.
