  • I don't love their decision to defederate hexbear, but otherwise I like this instance.

    Not to say I don't understand their reasoning for defederating, because I do, I just prefer as little defeds as possible aside from corporate influence (fuck threads)

  • I genuinely cannot express the depths of my sorrow.

    I understand the decision and hold no ill will towards the admin team, I just think lemm.ee was exactly everything I wanted from an instance and am truly sad to not only lose the account history being associated with me, but also the most neutral of the instances.

  • I've seen a lot of variations of the trolley problem, and this is the first time I've ever heard the "heavy man." It also makes zero sense, because a heavy man would do nothing to a trolley.

  • "Can i ask you for a favor?" Is it rude to say no?

  • I have severe anxiety too. It is an unfortunate additional challenge, but it does not absolve us our part in society nor give us an excuse to treat others poorly.

  • How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?

  • Lol, imagine thinking you're allowed a momentary reprieve from advertising in this hellscape of a world we've built.

  • This has always been the point.

    It has never been about which restroom trans people use, it was always been about being able to harass and vilify trans people.

    The right doesn't want to just enforce gender binary, they want to erase anything and anyone that falls outside it.

    This is just how birds look at all of us.

  • What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.

  • If "everyone" keeps reading a sentiment you did not intend out of your message, perhaps it is time to consider that you are doing a poor job of communicating your point.

    Or you're being disingenuous and just don't like being calling on your hissy fit.

    I dunno, take your pick.

  • I see this kind of comment before and I will never understand it - "other companies do it so just bend over and let us do it to you too!"

    People say this all the time about Denuvo too: "Other games already have Denuvo, why are you crying about it here when you're playing other games?"

    And see, that's the problem - we aren't playing those other Denuvo games. And same thing applies here, guess what, a lot of us aren't buying games from gross companies like EA with these shit terms. So when a company we are doing business with suddenly changes their terms to be shit, that's a valid complaint. Some of us have already been boycotting bad business practices in the industry, so the idea of company changing terms towards the boycott after we've already invested in the game feels like a betrayal because it is.

    So maybe stop focusing on what you assume the rest of audience is doing and instead go back to focusing on what the people at the goddamn podium are trying to pull?

  • Frequently the point of comparing the two is to caution before they actually become comparable, though. I think it's intentional hyperbole to make a stark point, not an insensitive reduction.

  • Not if you want any kind of consistency so you can actually replicate or understand what you're doing. Like hallucinations aside (and we really shouldn't put them aside because they're a very real thing in this context), the point of a recipe is that you aren't just getting an averaged version of the process; you're getting a curated version with specific considerations in mind.

    So you can ask AI for a cinnamon apple pie recipe, and you might get an okay one, but you're probably never going to get a better-than-average one. And if you do like the version of the recipe it gave you, you had better write it down because when you ask for it next time, it's not going to be the same cinnamon apple pie recipe. I've personally played around with recipes in AI, and even within the same chat, there's no consistency because it never "knows" anything; it only makes predictive guesses. So when I say, "I like that recipe, but let's try half as much ginger and maybe add some mirin," it will reduce the ginger and add mirin, but suddenly all the volumes of the other ingredients have changed, and some items may even disappear.

    So yeah, I think this is something that AI could potentially work well for in the future, as is kind of always the case with any potentially useful AI application right now. But right now, until they've been developed with some kind of better active memory and/or something resembling comprehension rather than predictive association, I think this is a field where AI is passable at best, not yet somewhere it shines.

  • SEO is part of it, but it's also literally just more physical real estate for ads. Recipe sites, including personal recipe blogs, are infamous for the sheer volume of ads placed on them. Yes, everyone just scrolls to the recipe so it kind of doesn't matter, but longer text means more space for ads.
