  • Have you guys read the article ? Spotify is denying the claim of massive attack and other platforms as misinformation, they are claiming that the firm the CEO invested in is only working towards military defense of Ukraine against Russia's invasion. I don't know what is true and don't have the time to check, but it looks to me like a decent response if true.

    Not saying Spotify isn't problematic, but that might be overblown misinformation.

    Then again, if you want to cancel Spotify, good, I'm all for it, I don't like the enshitification they are undergoing. But this reason might not be the one you should put on the resignation form, it might not send the right message to Spotify.

  • Maybe, I'm not sure what would happen if literacy and math skills rose globally.

    After thinking about it for 30s (so my point is not very thought out), I think it would impact poverty, but not for the reason you think, I expect people would vote differently, and that would have an impact on poverty. I don't think it would reduce poverty because people would spend more wisely, poverty imo is not a lack of management, it is a vicious circle you can't easily escape.

  • Some people get shot more often than others, mainly those living in poverty because they are forced to live in bad places, also most of them are black and shot by the police frequently

  • To be able to display this error message and force you to use a different password, that way you won't remember it.

  • And some

  • I love that they put an error margin, which doesn't include 90 % of all the datapoints.

  • I tried a vertical mouse for two days, and painful sensation came to my wrist and arm the first evening, I switched back after the second day and pain was gone after a few more days. Never again. I don't doubt it's good for some people, but it's not for everyone. And I don't understand why it's never said anywhere that not everyone will be more comfortable with it.

  • Ok, let's roll with it. Gov manages to ban all encrypted communication, The only logical conclusion would be that all communication has been banned, since you can always easily agree with your correspondant about an encryption. No communication means, no telephone, no mails, no internet, no speaking, no sign language, I guess paper is banned too, no pencil, no way to write anything...

    Hmm, I guess the gov managed to get us back to living in cave then, and managed to erase everybody's memory of technology too.

    My gameplan is then the following, get a big stick to defend my cave with my local community, growing food, chill and enjoy life until I die from a disease.

  • I have that episode on my HDD

  • "Inhale, exhale" make sense, but that's really dumb art

  • No, that's "IHL"

  • Yes, I know it has an impact, though not as big as you make it seem, (and so is everything). When you divide it to calculate the personal impact, it is way lower than a huge number of other stuff. I agree that we need to address climate change, but I don't believe this should be the main focus.

    Also, every individual should be able to choose how they spend their "carbon allocation", personally, I don't eat meat, I never take the plane, I don't own a car and do everything using bike and trains, my house is carbon negative (building it actually had a negative carbon footprint) which was a huge sacrifice I had to compromise getting a way way smaller house for way more debt than if I had built a cheap standard house (and of course I'm in debt for decade). LLM makes me more efficient at my job so I think I can afford the carbon footprint that comes with it which, as I said, is not as big per individual as you make it appear.

    I understand that hanging on Lemmy makes it seem like AI/LLM is the worse thing that has happened to mankind, but it's really not, there are lots of issues with it, sure. But there is worse stuff to worry about.

    I want to finish by saying that I DO support your action to minimize its impact, what you are doing overall is important and necessary, but I think you should revise the individual argument you put up against LLM, cause this one is not great.

  • I'd prefer base 12 for everything

  • I agree, cursor and other IDE integration have been a game changer. It made it way easier for a certain range of problems we used to have in software dev. And for every easy code, like prototyping, or inconsequential testing, it's so so fast. What I found is that, it is particularly efficient at helping you do stuff you would have been able to do alone, and are able to check once it's done. Need to be careful when asking stuff you aren't familiar with though, cause it will comfortably lead you toward a mistake that will waste your time.

    Though one thing I have to say: I'm very annoyed by it's constant agreeing with what I say, and enabling me when I'm doing dumb shit. I wish it would challenge me more and tell me when I'm an idiot.

    "Yes you are totally right", "This is a very common issue that everybody has", "What a great and insightful question"...... I'm so tired of this BS.

  • I get the sentiment behind this post, and it's almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology. It is akin to climate change denier using the argument: "look! It snowed today, climate change is so dumb huh ?"

  • Who got shot ?

  • Their computer mice are pretty good quality, but I don't know if they are the best.

  • Yes, the climate crisis is a huge problem, probably the biggest mankind has ever faced. Everyone should do everything they can to try to minimize it (I sure am).

    You'd say it started going downhill in 2019 or 2016 ? /s

    There is good news though: climate literacy is going up, more and more people realized everyday throughout the world. It hasn't really reached the political level in most countries but I see a trend of countries taking more and more action against climate change. Of course we are not there yet, but we could be in the future. This is not to say that "the climate" is not worsening, but there are improvements here and there. I truly believe humanity will make it, likely not with the same population count but still. Life on earth is almost guaranteed to survive, it has lived through worse than that. It has to get worse for people to really realized and act against it.

    Climate change is one thing, but it's not "ALL", there are many metrics by which the world is getting better all the time.

    All in all though, and I think it's the most important: doomer talk is not helping at all, it demoralises people, and it prevents them from acting, if people believe we are done for, why would they make any effort ? Why would they try to fix it ?

    Seeing the strong word you have about the climate crisis, I can only imagine you are doing everything you can to minimize it, are you ?

  • 🎶It's get.ting bet.ter all the ti-i-ime

    I have to admit. it's getting bet.ter

    A little bet.ter all the time (can't get noo worse)🎶

    I've seen this argument so many time... It's not going downhill, we are just getting older, we understand the problems of the world better, we are more informed, we watch the news and we start to have that nostalgia feeling that it was better before. It was not ! The world is getting better for so many metrics, sure there are issues, there always has been, it's not perfect. Sure there are localized places where it's temporarily getting worse ( the US might currently be living through a rough time, but it will pass).

    Overall, it's getting better all the time. We are currently living the best time in history so far. Millions of new stuff to discover, infinite access to the cumulated knowledge of mankind. More democratic country than ever, famine is getting down overall, health is getting better too. Poverty is decreasing too.

    I'm not saying we shouldn't do anything to try and make it even better, we definitely should do everything we can, there is still a lot to do to make it the best world possible. But please stop with this constant whining about the past. It was not better, you simply didn't know any better in the past, and your memory of the past is tainted because your brains actively choose to erase bad stuff and only remember good stuff (this is a real human brain unconscious behaviour, look it up).
