It’s tricky, because there’s no hard definition for what it means to “change the world”, either. To me, it brings to mind technologies like the Internet, the telephone, aviation, or the steam engine. In those cases, it seems like the common thread is to enable us to do something that simply wasn’t possible before, and is also reliably useful.

To me, AI fails on both those points. It doesn’t really enable us to do anything new. We already had chat bots, we already had Photoshop, we already had search algorithms and auto complete. It can do some of those things a lot more quickly than older technologies, but until they solve the hallucination problems it doesn’t seem reliable enough to be consistently useful.

These things make it come off more as a potential incremental improvement that is still too early in it’s infancy, than as something truly revolutionary.

It has no chance to survive

That sounds neat and enjoyable to tinker with. Is there a possibility that using a tool like that will get you flagged and/or banned from Steam? Or do they not care when it’s a single player game?

Of course, true enlightenment comes only when you accept that you will never be able to play every game you already own, let go of the worldly desire to clear your backlog, and buy more games anyway. At this stage of enlightenment, you transcend the need for willpower.

Fascinating. Live by the trolls, die by the trolls.

This one is also a pretty good fit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kguaGI7aZg

I agree about that. That makes perfect sense. It’s when you start factoring in religion that it all breaks down for me.

That makes even less sense. If you don’t think you qualify to get into heaven, why would you desire to speed up the rapture? You’d just get left behind anyway.

I honestly find it baffling. If you believe in heaven, why would you fear death? Not saying you’re wrong, I just cannot comprehend that mindset.

That’s one way to shut someone up, lol

I think this one was my favorite so far: https://mangadex.org/title/d5648ff0-6792-4c87-b9d3-b024ac7abbab/kyaba-jou-dakedo-jd-ni-otosaremashita

I found it both funny and cute.

This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:

• Realized I’m trans
• Procured a Steam Deck
• Started pirating again
• Been on HRT for over a year and counting
• Developed a chronic dependency on Yuri manga
• Lost 50-60 lbs

I hope you have a good time here as well!

For me, it was watered-down Mountain Dew with a mild tinge of chlorine.

At least a blåhaj is kind of like a pokémon.

The problem is that what you describe is not conservatism, it’s just basic competence in governance. It’s an impressive achievement of the radical right that they have managed to get people to conflate the two.

What about the trolls?

Ive Had Enough in my ass

you only need to clean your spoon

Don’t you need to clean the rice cooker?

I’m not trying to be a smartass, I’m just that desperate that I’m hoping to find out you don’t need to.

What if you want ease on a terminal?

In a professional context, you might end up on servers that don’t have nano installed, but do have vi. Or if you’re helping out a friend on their laptop, they might not have the same software as you. Or if you often end up tinkering with random devices and/or setting up new systems it might be tedious to install the same applications every time.

It’s basically an argument for learning the very basics of the most common editors so you have flexibility no matter where you end up. Even when you have the ability to download and install your preferred software, it’s still an extra step that might not be desirable for a variety of reasons. But if it’s just your own personal device, I see no problem with just installing whatever you prefer and running with it.

EDIT: Personally, I find that I don’t end up using those other editors often enough to remember the abstruse commands of tools like vim, so I’m not worried about it. When it does happen, 99% of the time I can just whip out a smartphone and look up the directions for the n-dozenth time.
