  Dumb. One of the few things LLMs are good at is correcting spelling. That’s a lot of effort for an ineffective “poison”.

  Hot and Sour soup always makes me feel better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Can only speak for myself. I use AI tools almost daily to help me pursue my hobby. I find it very useful for that. But when I enjoy art produced by a human, on some level I want to connect with the human experience that produced it. Call it parasocial if that helps. But I’m always at least a little interested in the content creators, not just the content.

  I know some people consume content like a commodity or product. I’m not judging those people at all. But I’m generally not like that myself. I want to know the story behind the creation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s the top 3 things most people in the US have not heard about:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What exactly is the reasoning behind Satan ruling Hell?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In the book of Job, Satan is depicted more like a friendly prosecutor or advisor to God than an enemy. He and Yahweh are like frat bros torturing the poor schmuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry I wasn’t more encouraging. I guess I have become a bit jaded regarding overly extroverted coworkers over the years. I do think going to management would probably do more harm than good. Only you can judge how obnoxious the gossiping folks are, and your own tolerance threshold for it. I’m just some rando on the internet. But I do completely empathize with your situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some extroverts assume quiet people are “weird and creepy”. They gossip and pry into your business to test you, to see if you’re “safe” to work with. It’s a common form of hazing. They are filtering for who they think they can trust.

  If you want the job: try to “gray rock” them until they get bored with you. They’ll never trust you, but they might leave you alone or assume you’re a harmless boring weirdo. Or they might decide to make your job a living hell until you transfer out. Depends on how vicious they are.

  You can’t control them, but you can refuse to engage at their jr high level.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks. I have wasted my time yet again!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you just looking for things to be offended about? Is that any way to live?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be correct to say that enshittification is the physical manifestation of the economic ai bubble bursting?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Enshitification is a method, greed is the motive, AI is an accelerator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is not an ability the Jedi of Lemmy will ever teach you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What will the next age of innovative art culture create?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no clue what it will look or sound like, but my guess is it will be a massive artistic rejection of AI generated content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you deal with those characters fully convinced a job is something you have to enjoy?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a few friends at work where we’ve learned to trust each other over many years and many conversations. We enjoy each other’s company and are comfortable joking and talking shit about the job and bosses.

  Outside of that very small group I practice “gray rock” tactics with all of the rest of my coworkers, especially people in management. I just act as boring and uninteresting as possible, so they don’t see me as any kind of threat and it greatly limits the “attack surface” they can use against me with others. Outside of my inner group of friends, my coworkers have almost zero knowledge about my family, my hobbies, my pets, anything at all.

  This is not a good way to be if you are ambitious and want to climb the ladder. But if you just want to clock in, do your job, and clock out (like I do) then gray rock is the way to go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there really no stupid questions?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Were you sealioning? There’s little tolerance for that kind of move.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only time I’ve heard it said like that is when the person is being passive-aggressive and sarcastic. I’m not saying it’s always used in that way, just my experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure you’ve seen how twitchy and coked up he looks in some of the video clips. It’s all too easy to imagine this scenario as real.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't police use rubber bullets instead of live rounds? I get if someone is holding a loaded weapon. But wouldn't a rubber bullet have the same effect with out putting holes in another person?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So much is explained about policing in the USA with a simple one liner an older friend once told me: cops are just guys who want to drive fast and shoot guns.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ‘996’ work trend comes with dire health warnings⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “I ignored my family and destroyed my health, but at least my boss got a 2nd vacation home out of it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of crafts and trades can be done in small teams or solo. Leather-working, furniture making, blacksmithing, etc. If we’re talking before the printing press, being a scribe could be solitary (or at least quiet, if you were a monk). Tending livestock (especially sheep) was often a solo job. Fishing, trapping, the list is long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Software that’s easy to use will enable people to crank out content. Most of that content will be bad. But there could be a few gems hidden in the “ocean of gray goo” of cheap content. This has been going on for a long time. People were talking about this happening with music tools decades ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most pet dogs are attracted to humans generally. Some bond with one favored human and don’t care much about other humans. Other pet dogs are more sociable, and enjoy the novelty of a new human and being around lots of humans.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a bad habit you use to have for a long time but finally fixed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Talking more than listening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Comfortable clothes for myself. I’m pretty much invisible to most other people, which is fine with me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When sites and services don't have the common courtesy to redirect you to where you've been when nagging for verification⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They are intentionally making websites frustrating so we’ll use their stupid proprietary apps instead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve worked at a lot of different places and in my experience it varies a lot.

  Some bosses cut everybody slack. Some bosses are jerks and cut nobody any slack. I would say most of them play favorites with their employees (some are blatant about it, some are more subtle). Some bosses cut the workers with kids more slack. Some bosses cut the workers with kids less slack.

  Anecdotal evidence is like that. It’s emotionally compelling, but doesn’t really tell us what’s going on in the bigger picture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how badly could a pelican fuck me up in a fight?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no idea, but I really hope some genius on Lemmy creates a simulation of this fight so we can all have a great time watching it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why do i sometimes wake up feeling like a lot is going on? like why do i feel the day will be an adventure?? when i wake up⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be that whatever subconscious processing that happened overnight is bubbling up. The mind, consciousness, and memory are all still mysterious. The more neuroscience learns about the brain, the weirder it seems to function.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you consider Taylor Swift to be of the working class and why?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Come on Lemmy, look at the name of the Community and stop downvoting honest questions, FFS. I don’t know about or care about TSwift and her billions, but there’s nothing wrong with the question that the OP posted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I vote Democrat, but they’ve always been political pussies and policy wonks. The Republicans are macho meatheads. Unfortunately the latter’s optics tend to play better with our unsophisticated population, most of which couldn’t pass a basic civics test.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any actual free programs that clean up all bloat ware on a new laptop? Without them putting hidden stuff in?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. I’ve installed and re-installed Windows more times than I care to count, and this is basically my method when dealing with new PCs with bundleware. It’s not like the bad old days. The provided uninstallers work just fine as long as the PC is from a reputable source.
