I use Mac btw (more to the point, I use whatever you do not use).

You aren’t wrong - she does look like she is on the toilet! :-P

I wondered if what I said would come across as criticism - even though I took care to avoid alluding to your comment NOT being statistically bland (which ironically, due to your third point, would have begun to imply that it WAS, despite my saying explicitly the opposite).

So we are proving real-time why LLMs go to such lengths to be bland - their goal of not offending anyone making their shareholders more money does not allow them to take those kinds of risks, as I just did above.

All the more so with their child-like yet incurious audience noping out at the first hint of difficulty understanding producing dopamine upon reading anything at all - not attempting clarification or expounding additional details as just you did.

So kudos I suppose we just proved our humanity? Now to do that 10k times a day for the rest of our natural lives…

A stack of single-sentence paragraphs, you say?

With a perfect conclusion written at the end you say?

Methinks I’ve seen this before somewhere, I say.

Dare to be different, I say.

https://youtu.be/5Peima-Uw7w does a fascinating - and extremely excellent imho - job of explaining this further. “Intelligence” is domain-specific, and does not translate to what we might rather call by a different term (wisdom?). It also dips into Emotional Agility as a source of why smart people will do these incredibly dumb things. Regardless of what others say, as in however they misuse certain terms, this video tries to convey that biases exist as traps to fall into along the way - which at its core is undeniably true on its face - and reminds us that we ignore such at our own peril.

Be thou not afraid.

Reminds me of Lemmy.ml. No critiques allowed: you will think and discuss as we tell you, and like it!

If you click into your Settings menu you should see an option to adjust it further.

Ymmv tho and you might need to dip into editing the config file manually.

Be warned, you can go very much too far on this. If your cat speaks to you an an Eldritch tongue, get out of there immediately!

Help me Obi-Wan, you are my only hope!

Not when I’m done with her she ain’t!

One of PieFed’s earliest features was the separate distinction between NSFW and NSFL / gore. Although with Lemmy lacking that, I would guess that any poster would be afraid to rely on it without also toggling the NSFW label as well.

Those teens had sex.

People need to: (1) have capacity, like a single mother with 3 kids and commuting to work 3 jobs isn’t going to switch even if it took less than a day, and (2) they need to see the value of doing so first. Lowering the entry barrier will help IMMENSELY, and then after that people are willing to put up with some slight amounts of effort so long as they know in advance it will be worthwhile.

Unfortunately a non-technical mainstream normie isn’t going to know how to check their hardware first, and barely knows what software they themselves use (including the variety of plug-ins) on a daily basis, or how to know which ones they will have to give up using, and seek alternatives for.

If such alternatives exist. Like, on a mobile device (including laptops, or an Android phone/tablet), nobody has ever managed to tell me an actually usable web browser that doesn’t burn up my battery in the background all day long like Firefox does - Firefox is an absolutely horrid shit app, which just so happens to be better than Chrome… barely.

And what program/app is more crucial in this modern era than a web browser? So when people see the state that the CEO of Firefox has put that FOSS program into, and the lack of anyone else (e.g. LibreWolf) making a better app - which again must be usable by non-technical mainstream normie users - then they nope right out and never bother to reconsider.

Note that the market share of people using desktops vs. a laptop or mobile where battery concerns are absolutely critical is dropping, see e.g. this article.

Or Linux skinned to look like it? (As if that is somehow much better? 😜)

If 30 is old then I am… nevermind! 😬

Is that you, little red riding hood? 🐺👵

Good point and agreed! I’m a little new to posting so I thought it was polite to include the source where I found it.

It absolutely is, and welcome! 😁

Technically it would have been true, it’s just that A"I" does not deliver on that promise.

Next up: vampires.

Very long-living beings that regenerate (have access to healthcare?) and don’t need to work, but do need to extract your lifeblood to feed their lifestyle choice. Typically has much exaggerated appetites compared to a normal human being.

Hrm… 🤔🧛‍♂️
