  I thought the stripes were actually camouflage and they’re just monochromatic because the things they’re hiding from have poor color vision.

  Im sorry dude but if your argument is reddit and stackoverflow are the basis for being “better than what the majority of people can manage” then I just have to respectfully disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  AI doesn’t produce data suitable for training AI. It’s a huge problem when AI generated slop makes its way into the training set because it generally degrades the quality of the model. Like a photocopy of a photocopy.

  So where is all the data its trained on to surpass most people come from? Do you think they’re curating what they feed it based on IQ scores or something? Verifying accuracy, competency, etc? Or are you aware they just turn on the reddit/stackoverflow/github/etc. scrapers and start pumping them full of unfiltered 100% pure grade A internet bullshit?

  if the majority of people were incapable of meeting the standard of AI, then AI wouldn’t have enough data to train on to be better than the majority.

  It could always turn out like NFTs did. Don’t lose hope yet.

  All the executives invested heavily in AI because they’re easily wowed by things that look impressive but have no substance so they thought it was the next Big Thing. They want it to pay off so they can cash out and get rich(er).

  Someone once said the bottom to me nearly verbatim for questioning the Iraq war. My grandmother once asked me if I wanted to go to hell because I laughed at Bush Jr fumbling his words.

  We’ve been there for a lot longer than people are willing to admit.

  I would give anything to skim an article rather than sit through a 10 minute video for the one thing I need to know.

  I ate at a McD last week in NV and the fries were in the expected cardboard carton and not as pictured.

  yeah but I aint munching on a raw head of cabbage while sitting on top of its fertilizer.

  I’m not sure I’m convinced. They don’t seem to be struggling with consensus on any other matters, so that kind of implies they’re just one single consciousness rather than a gestalt of conflicting ones. I don’t think the individuals are still in there, or they’re so completely subsumed they might as well be gone.

  As for their vulnerability to emotional outbursts I’m betting that whatever happened with the immune survivors has made them into transmitters but not receivers for whatever psychic frequency the collective operates on. Which is why it cannot disobey or lie to her about anything except its “biological imperatives” and cannot handle her negative emotions since it disrupts the positive emotions it’s using to keep everyone’s consciousnesses subdued.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For someone who rolled up every psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker on earth into their head they don’t seem to know how to handle someone experiencing grief/ptsd very well.

  It’s extremely difficult to measure the effectiveness of online ads and most companies have an incentive to inflate their numbers since they’re sold as a certain number of views/impressions.

  Advertising is a scam for both those who buy it and the intended audience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thanks for nothing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This must be some new dark pattern because my Meta VR headset, Twitter, and Instagram have all started giving me false notification badges recently. I’m just teaching myself to ignore the red badges because it’s not worth the annoyance.

  Is this the same nestle slave labor case that went to the Supreme Court where nestle was successfully defended by a former Obama staffer or have they done this more than once?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why is EVERYTHINGGGGG behind a paywall?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Many of those apps were built on things produced and distributed for free. I would say they are, usually, just a fancy front end on some OSS library. That’s not without value, good interfaces are hard, but lets not pretend they’re doing all the work themselves, and they certainly aren’t eager to reinvest any of that money into the free software that made their shit possible.

  Not even remotely unique to Trump. Like 90% of US politicians do this.

  sounds like contentEditable got triggered on one of the elements on the page. if you want to try and get around this before they fix it you can press F12 and paste this into your console:

  document.querySelectorAll("[contentEditable]").forEach(x=>x.contentEditable=false);

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If they bundled the item with a pack of batteries in a retail store and sold it for 39.99, would you still consider it cheaper?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How? You cannot buy this “cheaper” version without spending more money. It’s 39.99 with free shipping other places. It’s $39.99 on Amazon because you have to pay for shipping. You’re not saving money, you’re just getting more stuff from Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Artificially Discounting Items $0.01 Below the Free Shipping Limit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheaper on Amazon, or anywhere else?

  How have you ‘saved’ money that you spent, exactly?
