I had a manager tell me some stuff was being scanned by AI for one of my projects.
No, you are having it scanned by a regular program to generate keyword clouds that can be used to pull it up when humans type their stupidly-worded questions into our search. It’s not fucking AI. Stop saying everything that happens on a computer that you don’t understand is fucking AI!
I’m just so over it. But at least they aren’t trying to convince us chatGPT is useful (it definitely wouldn’t be for what they would try to use it for)
This platform feels so much more real and what I remember the Internet used to be like. Whenever I go back to Reddit, it feels like the soul of the website was siphoned out when Steve Huffman decided to annihilate the platform
@gronjo45@The_Picard_Maneuver Reddit was definitely going downhill for a little while but slow enough for me to still be able to enjoy it
After this year's fun and games I signed up with Kbin and quite happy there. When I do occasionally go back to Reddit the difference between the quality of conversation is quite striking (depending on the sub).
I’ve been thinking about trying Kbin. I’d love to see how the Linux and technology communities are over there. I can’t even visit Reddit anymore with how enshittified it became. It seems like there are so many more bots, the quality of the conversation has definitely dropped since the API pricing explosion.
I got red-pilled into F(L)OSS stuff when I read about what was being done to developers. I only had ever used the default proprietary app because I somehow didn’t know that alternatives existed. I guess my phone was just for memes and for mindless entertainment then I realized I needed to use SSH and a bash terminal. I might have attached a meme by accident. It is infinitely buffering so I think we’ll find out when I post this.
My cousin got a new TV and I was helping to set it up for him. During the setup thing, it had an option to enable AI enhanced audio and visuals. Turning the ai audio on turned the decent, but maybe a little sub par audio, into an absolute garbage shitshow it sounded like the audio was being passed through an “underwater” filter then transmitted through a tin can and string telephone. Idk who decided this was a feature that was ready to be added to consumer products but it was absolutely moronic
I’ll be fully honest, I’d be on Threads if it didn’t ban EU users via API. But it did. Reddit is unbearable. I tried Discuit but I cannot help but worry it will be abandoned or the owner will power trip and ruin it. Fediverse gives me the comfort of not worrying that will happen. If only it was more active in any way I’d care about.
You know, I stopped using Reddit when RIF for Android stopped. I’d been using it for a decade, so I found Sync and after setting up it’s got a vibe good enough to where I am clicking on it randomly like I used to do Reddit. It has the same small vibe Reddit did 12 years ago. I think this one will be a real threat bc usage is going up as people who tried the Reddit app like I did are fed up with it’s shit UI and want alternatives. Who knows, but of all I looked at this one was by far the best.
Discuit is lame. It’s just an attempt at making reddit again with zero differences. Being federated is a big part of why I’m on Lemmy. Anything else is just going backwards.
When I first played Life Is Strange I already knew about the choice at the end, but without context it didn’t really mean much to me. I thought that over the course of the game I’d come to prefer one option over the other.
By the time the final mission started I was still very much on the fence, so I went and choose the third option: Closing the game and leaving it’s characters in a limbo of uncertainty
It’s all so stupid. The entire stock market basically took off because Nvidia CEO mentioned AI like 50 times and everyone now thinks it’s worth 200 times it’s yearly profit.
We don’t even have AI, we have language models that dig through text and create answers from that.
Yeah I guess. I just figured AI would be capable of doing more than feeding already known data back to us. When I was growing up, I was hoping AI would be able to make new conclusions and be wiser than humans.
That would be awesome, but it does already solve problems and give us information we don’t have. It is able to extrapolate, which makes it wonderful for reporting type duties, analysis of data, etc… It’s also pretty good at coding. You’ll hear a lot of people say it’s not, but I think that comes down to their ability to instruct it properly. Since I started using ChatGPT at work my productivity has skyrocketed. I don’t have to spend a bunch of time writing the basics of the programs I’m creating, I can outline it with ChatGPT and then edit it for my specific use. I also use it to audit my tone for progressional communication. I have a really bad tendency to sound overly stern with my written communication. For texts and such I fix that with Emojis, but I can’t do that at work, so I pass my writing through ChatGPT and ask it to change the tone for me. It does a great job. ChatGPT is progressing at speeds beyond our wildest expectations, so you’ll definitely see the kind of functionality you’re talking about within your lifetime, probably within the next ten years.
I’m using it at work too as a devops guy, and it’s been helping a lot. If I don’t know how a certain syntax should look like, I just ask chat gpt and i get full examples that usually work. It’s amazing.
I was learning a bit of go a few days ago and then it was also so much faster to learn by asking chat gpt how to do things in that specific language.
There's even rumours that the next version of Windows is going to inject a bunch of AI buzzword stuff into the operating system. Like, how is that going to make the user experience any more intuitive? Sounds like you're just going to have to fight an overconfident ChatGPT wannabe that thinks it knows what you want to do better than you do, every time you try opening a program or saving a document.
This is what pisses me off about the whole endeavour. We can’t even get a fucking search algo right any more, why the fuck do i want a machine blithely failing to do what it’s told as it stumbles off a cliff.
Windows Co-pilot just popped up on my Windows 11 machine. Its disclaimer said it could provide surprising results. I asked it what kind of surprising results I could expect, it responded that it wasn’t comfortable talking about that subject and ended the conversation.
I sure hope not. I still hate Cortana so much. I don’t mind that she dumped me for an evil slime. I mind that she wouldn’t stop calling me while I was busy killing her new boyfriend.
