forgotmylastusername , to nostupidquestions in Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race?

There’s a difference in attitude when they keep doubling down and proving their critics right. That’s how misbehaved children act. Except when you’re not a child but full grown adults who refuse to budge like when mommy used try to give you that cough syrup you don’t want it so you twist and turn your head with your mouth sealed up tight. Yeah of course people are going to laugh at you. People laughing at you on social media is no excuse. What the hell even is this logic. This is not much more than a thinly veiled reddit tier pseudo-intellectual reply. Complete with the “ill be downvoted but”, “btw I’m actually voting liberal”, and the pièce de résistance using Black people as a rhetorical cudgel.

Btw I’ll get downvoted for this reply but whatever.

forgotmylastusername , (edited ) to asklemmy in People who pirated in the late 90s and early 00s what is the most dramatic change from then till now? And if you had the power what would you bring back?

People still gloat about piracy being a hydra where you cut off one head and more pop up. Except it isn’t any where close to that. Probably hasn’t been in at least 10-15 years. Piracy has been gradually chipped away at. People don’t seem to want to admit that. As if that would be siding with anti-piracy or something.

In its heyday the catalogues of content was immense in breadth and depth. Just about any obscure thing could be found. These days even popular TV shows become more difficult to come by even a short while after the episode has been released. Unless you have access to more private parts of the web then you’re left trying to source some low quality trash tier download.

Which brings me to the next point. Piracy used to be about providing the best possible quality. With popularity the quality got watered down. Opportunists came in trying to monetize it which drew the attention of authorities. Which drew the attention more opportunists which drew the attention of authorities. It snowballed.

What piracy used to be was the spirit of the original internet. It was the library not just a library but the library of humanity. People catalogued and shared because that’s what librarians do.

If I had the power I’d take away its popularity. Make it obscure again. It was better when it was ruled by snobs and autistic perfectionists.

So basically a copy of the battery pack T12 devices from China. Well done. You fixed an already fixed problem.

I taunted a anon about using reddit and the next day my IP range was banned.

forgotmylastusername , to technology in OpenAI Pleads That It Can’t Make Money Without Using Copyrighted Materials for Free

The internet has been primarily derivative content for a long time. As much as some haven’t wanted to admit it. It’s true. These fancy algorithms now take it to the exponential factor.

Original content had already become sparsely seen anymore as monetization ramped up. And then this generation of AI algorithms arrived.

The several years before prior to LLMs becoming a thing, the internet was basically just regurgitating data from API calls or scraping someone else’s content and representing it in your own way.

The “first they came for…” quote is probably more damaging than people realize. They don’t systematically make more different people the problem. Everyone is fair game at all times whenever it’s opportune.

forgotmylastusername , to technology in In Leaked Audio, Amazon Cloud CEO Says AI Will Soon Make Human Programmers a Thing of the Past

From the very beginning

When is that exactly do you have in mind? I’m talking about automation which roughly around 2010 the discourse was primarily centered around blue collar jobs. The discussion was about these careers becoming obsolete if AI ever advanced to the point where it involved little to no humans to perform the tasks.

Back then AI with regards to white collar jobs was no where near the primary focus of discourse much less programming.

Tech nerds back then were all gung ho about it making entire careers obsolete in the near future. Truck drivers were supposed to be a dead career by now. They absolutely do not hold the same enthusiasm right now when it’s being said about their own careers.

Are you seriously trying to imply

You’re way off the mark. Save your outrage.

forgotmylastusername , to mildlyinfuriating in Reddit Undeleted all my posts and comments

They appropriated /u/borat. It was an inactive account which was removed and given to the producers of the film to use for an AMA when it was released.

spez, kn0thin, and reddit the company as a whole have zero scruples. There are no rules but what they say at any given moment. It’s subject to change at any time.

forgotmylastusername , to technology in No one’s ready for this: Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.

It’s going to be used prolifically for something much more boring. Embellished product listings and fake reviews. If online shopping is frustrating now. It’s probably going to get a lot worse trying to weed out good quality things to buy as photographs are no longer reliable.

forgotmylastusername , to technology in In Leaked Audio, Amazon Cloud CEO Says AI Will Soon Make Human Programmers a Thing of the Past

The sentiment on AI in the span of 10 years went from “it’s inevitable it will replace your job” to “nope not gonna happen”. The difference back then the jobs it was going to replace were not tech jobs. Just saying.

forgotmylastusername , to asklemmy in I have every reason to be unhappy and resentful, how not to be that?

You’re so far outside the box that everyone who disagrees is too small to be the big brain like you are.

Except not. So cut the crap. Downvotes are for said dishonesty.

Influencer is a fancy word for salesman. Instead of going door to door like grandpa did in the old days, they stream directly to your device.

more efficient and produce less heat

Which was impossible to do with x86 space heater. Maybe if Intel hadn’t sat idle and actually produced more efficient design. We could be reading about Apples own spin of x86 instead of ARM.

It took long enough for the market to wake up to it. They dragged their ass for what like 10 years without much real innovation. And everyone knew it the whole time. Then Apple ditched them. That alone should have been a huge sign. Apple does not fuck around. They definitely knew Intel was rotting from the inside out.

forgotmylastusername , to asklemmy in Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of the world?

Technology used to be a thing to be optimistic about. The past 10-15 years or so has been a bit of a let down with capitalism fucking everything up.
