The US will do anything and everything except try proper gun control

I know Lemmy seems to very anti-AI (as am I) but we need to stop making the anti-AI talking point “AI is stupid”. It has immense limitations now because yes, it is being crammed into things it shouldn’t be, but we shouldn’t just be saying “its dumb” because that’s immediately written off by a sizable amount of the general population. For a lot of things, it is actually useful and it WILL be taking peoples jobs, like it or not (even if they’re worse at it). Truth be told, this should be a utopic situation for obvious reasons

I feel like I’m going crazy here because the same people on here who’d criticise the DARE anti-drug program as being completely un-nuanced to the point of causing the harm they’re trying to prevent are doing the same thing for AI and LLMs

My point is that if you’re trying to convince anyone, just saying its stupid isn’t going to turn anyone against AI because the minute it offers any genuine help (which it will!), they’ll write you off like any DARE pupil who tried drugs for the first time.

Countries need to start implementing UBI NOW

Copilot is shit

Yes and no. I find its terrible at solving more complex problems but its great at writing out tests for a function/view that covers every flow. My team went from having like 40% (shit) coverage to every PR having every case tested (inb4 they’re not good tests, they are good)

With that being said, fuck CEOs and fuck AI. At least you could (mostly) escape the blockchain hype

I guess it’s mostly for their cell services to avoid SIM jacking and stuff. But I agree

I’m the opposite of both of you. The build quality is good and the OS is good. I love having a familiat UNIX system while also having a polished desktop environment that supports 4k scaling very well (though the polish has been lacking a lot lately)

The issue for me is the insane price of their computers and the fact that you can’t (officially) install MacOS on your own hardware. I have a Linux desktop and a MBP but I’d run MacOS on both if it was officially supported

Even ISPs do this where I am. You don’t have to utter anything specifically but if they detect your voice being drastically different from what they have on file, they’ll lock you out before you even talk to a real person. Not sure how I feel about it tbh

They’re super useful when running Proxmox. You can create an LXC container and have it booted to a shell in under a minute

Hahaha I didn’t know that but that is funny. Admittedly I’m not too big into hockey so I’ve got no gauge on how popular (edit: or unpopular 😅) the Sens are

I love Anubis just because the dev is from my city that’s never talked about (Ottawa)

This is it mostly for sure. I used to be that True Linux Enjoyer. I still install arch sometimes but I only ever use an arch-derived distribution now that comes with an installer. I already feel like there’s not enough time in the day without having to manually copy files off a USB stick
