I have never used the app anyway. I used Flamingo and when they killed 3rd party apps I’ve just been using browser instead. Lets me block ads that way too.

LLMs are AI. There’s a common misconception about what ‘AI’ actually means. Many people equate AI with the advanced, human-like intelligence depicted in sci-fi - like HAL 9000, JARVIS, Ava, Mother, Samantha, Skynet, and GERTY. These systems represent a type of AI called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), designed to perform a wide range of tasks and demonstrate a form of general intelligence similar to humans.

However, AI itself doesn’t imply general intelligence. Even something as simple as a chess-playing robot qualifies as AI. Although it’s a narrow AI, excelling in just one task, it still fits within the AI category. So, AI is a very broad term that covers everything from highly specialized systems to the type of advanced, adaptable intelligence that we often imagine. Think of it like the term ‘plants,’ which includes everything from grass to towering redwoods - each different, but all fitting within the same category.

Default lemmy feed is almost entirely left-wing content. By blocking half of these people it’s still all left-wing content. As a Lemmy user I wouldn’t really proud myself for having a diversified feed even if I didn’t block anyone.

I’m the same way. I don’t block people I disagree with but my tolerance for assholes is quite low. I block multiple people each day and have been doing so for over a year. When I see a thread about Elon or Trump for example I just go in and find all the most toxic commentors there and block them. Again, not because I disagree but because I don’t want to see incivil assholes in my feed. If I see someone write mean comments I assume that’s what they do and I want nothing to do with them. Currently my blocklist is around 600 users long.

What does greed have to do with spreading misinformation? Even the term itself implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

We’re talking about spreading misinformation, which by definition implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

Don’t contribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.

All I have seen is that self driving cars will decide to kill people because they cannot make decisions about life in a way that preserves it.

Do you have any examples?

I’m no phycisist but I’d bet that the claim “it consumes no energy” is almost certainly false. I get what they mean but this isn’t exactly a honest way to describe it.

Cheaper, safer and one extra seat.

We’re obviously not there yet but I haven’t heard a single good argument for why we wouldn’t be in the future.

Humans are not getting any better at driving. Self-driving cars will eventually lead to tens of thousands of human lifes saved annually. Why do you want to prevent this?

“Some of Taylor Swift Fans Are Leaving Twitter for Bluesky After Trump’s Election”

It’s just bizzare to me that there’s data caps on your internet plans. Especially since you’re already paying 5x more than I’m for unlimited connection. I assume there must be some other reasons for this too than just greed. Perhaps the size of your country? I mean even Texas alone is almost as big as entire Europe.

I’m the only guy in my (small) friend group who still used pattern code instead of fingerprint so I take that to mean my phone is by default more difficult to break into than most. Giving my fingerprint to a giantic tech firm has always seemed like a bad idea so I never did. Though the fingerprint reader acts as a power button too so who knows if they’ve scanned it anyway.

it’s hard to find a good trait about the guy

He’s not a warmonger for one. He’s pretty funny too.

EDIT: Also, though a bit synical, I must say that I find some enjoyment in how mad he makes the far left which I see as one of the main reasons we got Trump to begin with. He’s the reaction to wokeism and identity politics.

This implies that U.S. stopping weapons deliveries would leave them without weapons and ammunation which is not the case. It would make things a lot harder for Ukraine and make them lose more soldiers and land but it wouldn’t stop the war. They’d rather die than submit to Russia. Also, U.S. is not their only weapons supplier.

I don’t see what this has to do with what I’ve said. I haven’t claimed otherwise. I don’t even like the guy and I wouldn’t have voted for him if I lived in the U.S.

I have said what I had to say on the topic and you seem to posses such a good mind-reading capabilities that I don’t think I’m needed for this discussion. I have no interest in engaging with people who result in personal attacks and accusations. Have a good debate.

I’ve been accused of being both Trump and Kamala supporter today despite not even living in the U.S.

Nope, I’m just a dispassionate observer who doesn’t think in binary. Trump is not all bad no more than Kamala is all good. Things are nuanced and complicated.

Also no, I don’t think people either lie 100% of the time or not at all, but I also don’t think you get to arbitrarily choose which is a lie and what is not based on which better fits your agenda.

What’s beneficial to himself and the U.S. seems like the only thing he cares about.

“Make America Great Again” is his motto, and the actions he took during his first term mostly aligned with it, even if the outcomes didn’t always turn out as intended. If you don’t believe he means what he says, then I don’t think he should be criticized for the rest of what he says either - since he wouldn’t mean that, either.
