Being common or niche has nothing to do with the quality of the tool. In fact LLMs should be a niche tool, because there’s only a few use cases where they are genuinely useful.
Thus what I said before, the problem is the companies trying to shove it everywhere without thought or care.
On being accurate or expensive, it depends heavily on what model we’re talking about and what exactly you’re using it for.
Put a light model summarising your web search, yeah, it’s an accident waiting to happen. Put a coding model helping you out building a small function while you focus on the main algorithm, it will save you a lot of time.

Respectfully disagree. It’s because of the systematic insistence that we need to build data centers to support a demand that doesn’t exist.
Same thing would happen if corporations lost their minds over hammers and insisted we had to build hammer factories everywhere and sell hammers to stirr your coffee.
- Comment on Actually... 1 week ago:
LLMs are a tool just like any other. There are tasks they can be useful, and others that they’re not.
The problem is that corporations and others are trying to force it down our throats in every single place as possible in their maddening quest to get a return in their investments.

Ahh thanks. But wouldn’t that make you a vegetarian?

It feels like there’s a whole debate about honey I’m unaware of, but isn’t the point of veganism avoiding anything made by animals? If yes, why is honey an exception?

Hi, lurker here. Anyone kind enough to give me some context? Who’s that guy? What happened?

I don’t know who the guy is, what the context might be, and honestly, this is one of those few occurrences that I’m okay with that

Never mind that in those examples that they gave, none of them were elected like Trump was:
Hitler lost the election for president; but was later appointed as chancellor by the guy that won after political pressure;
Mussolini was appointed by the king after threats of paramilitary force;
Leopold II was a hereditary monarch
Sorry US bros. I like you and I love you depending on the days. But just like the French will never live down the white flag meme, you will never live down that you elected a pedophile fascist TWICE.

Pretty sure it’s just a joke post. Someone smart enough to make something like that is also smart enough to not put a neon sign over them with a post like that - if they were serious, I mean.

- Comment on Has society or scientists ever solved definitively the Chicken and the Egg theory? Or is it just like a whose on first thing? 5 months ago:
That was never a “serious” question in that sense. It’s just a philosophical paradox.
The real answer is that you need to look at the ancestry tree. There wasn’t a moment that a chicken popped up, it was a gradual evolution between an ancestor and until a point that we decided “yup, that’s a chicken”.

CARALHO!!!!

- Comment on Can you also do this with languages that use the Latin Alphabet? 5 months ago:
Kind of, I could think of a few examples in english:
outlook : look out
Overlook : look over
Overtake : Takeover
Upkeep : Keep up
There might be others that I can’t remember right now. I don’t know if for you most of these are cheating since they become two words instead of just being one.
In Portuguese, I really can’t remember any examples
- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 5 months ago:
Yup you’re right. That last part was more of an addendum for those that consider trying to find new forums.
Obviously, the voting system is only one part of the story. It by itself won’t dictate if a community will be healthy or toxic; other things like the community culture and mods will have a heavier impact. But in my experience, in all the places I’ve been in, the voting system is one of the ingredients that does have an effect on the cake overall.
- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 5 months ago:
Sometimes it even triggers an honest discussion.
In my experience, that’s what tends to happen in more traditional forums.
Voting systems are great for threads where the discussions is about problem with an objective solution, but for more subjective topics it just kills discussions.
I recommend anyone that used to be a lot on Reddit, here on Lemmy and/or other forums with karma systems to try out forums without them. Trust me you’ll notice the difference.
Niche forums with small communities tend to be best, and a lot less toxic.

You’re right, this is normal. Off the top of my head: - tempura originated because of the trade between the portuguese and japanese - portuguese monopoly on cinnamon trade with Sri Lanka and India, allowed Europe to get it for cheap and it became a main ingredient in a lot of desserts and confections - the UKs tea culture came from a portugese noblewoman, who learned it from China
Cultures are constantly taking ideas from each orher

I don’t have much experience with that community, but from the little I’ve seen, agreed. It’s not good.
A good forum design will only get you so far, the rest is up to the moderators. If you let bad actors in, it doesn’t matter how you designed your forum, they will poison the well.
The best communities I’ve been in are in independent old-style forums. One of them is Tildes. Most of these don’t feature downvotes (or upvotes for that matter) and are honestly the better places to have discussions IMO.

Dogpile on them
- Comment on You earned some more dislikes 7 months ago:
It basically just turns a discussion forum into Disneyland, where everyone is happy all the time, because there’s no other option
In my experience, that’s not what happens
