Troll, can you get a life?

Someone somewhere, is going to decide “AI is great to lead scientific studies!” just like that terrible idea someone had about bringing AI into the surgery room.

And it is already happening but will be rampant, AI-revisionists re-writing history for propaganda purposes. People are already instilling historical figures for AI to recreate down to the voice for them to say things that they never would’ve said originally or at all, just to push a political message.

This shit will be all over campaigns in any election.

I don’t think it is that healthy. You’d otherwise be screaming into yet another void.

That’s why I use filing software, preferably if free. Nobody can fuck up a W-2 when that’s all you have.

Filing taxes.

I don’t even like Contra-like games. I’m sorry, I die in one hit? Just one? And it is by simply touching enemies? Wow, that’s fun, I guess…

I had just got my first and probably, only win from Balatro a few days ago. I don’t know how I did it, but I somehow did it. I went to uninstall the game right afterwards and keeping it like that, just to say ‘there, beaten it’. It took me so many hours and tries to get that single win, after stomaching hard loss after hard loss as the game insulted my strategical attempts.

Might just be a good thing. Because optimizing is what people have been demanding a lot of out of developers for a long time now.

Social media is social media, regardless of the host.

I’m repeating myself by saying that, AI has a place. It is just not the be-all application to everything like it is being treated.

I rarely upvote. I downvote and block someone who is just an antagonizing prick, though. I don’t give a shit what criteria I personally meet that’ll get people to react to this silly internet toy. My importance is that I’m able to say what I want to say at all than be restricted.

No, no, no. The pro move is, you pirate a game you think you want and don’t have the buyer’s remorse feeling.

That’s the pro move.

Then you ‘demo’ the game. It’s all on you though should you buy the game anyways.

I don’t know why this kind of thing is normalized.

I’m missing the times when questions were thought-provoking and fun to answer.

This one is anything but.

I want to see the icons.

AI can be a bot with a tool.

Addiction can be a kid with dollar signs for eyes as they’re infront of their phone.

Unmonitored online communication can be a kid who barricaded their room from the world.

My thing is, is that it isn’t so much about the things I use rather than what these platforms expect me to be which is a good capitalist doggy. One that feels the need to always CONSOOOM, at any given time. I’m not really about that, for I value what money I get. So I go out and thrift, I don’t subscribe to twenty different subscription services. I don’t just buy things for the sake of buying.

It’s all a big mental game.

You can also tell who’s been online for a long time, when they’re just tired of some snarky troll’s shit to block them when their shitty responses are read to your posts and replies. We see things these idiots think nobody else sees.

Yeah it really depends where you are and who you’re with.

Friend circle? Yes.

Your boss writing your checks? No.

sigh Rule 5…

Not really. In doing so, would have harsh repercussions.

The stupid karma scoring system doesn’t help matters. When Lemmy and the Fediverse began, I was hopeful that we’d be rid of such things. Sadly, people feel we need to still have them and look where that has gotten us. Are you trying to be Reddit or not trying to be Reddit? Because if you’re aiming for the latter, you’ve fundamentally failed.

I hear so many excuses why we have scoring systems, but none of them add up. People will upvote anything they feel fits their world view and downvote things they feel doesn’t. It creates artificial engagement. It does nothing for the ecosystem as a whole.
