  • What's an example of something that usually goes unnoticed when done well but very noticeable when done poorly or not done at all?

    Jump

  • A goalkeeper in soccer or similar. It's a thankless job, you save 10 shots, nobody notices. But you miss one and you'll be called a bum by your own fans. As opposed to a forward striker, who might miss 10 shots, nobody notices. But you make one and you'll be a hero being paraded on shoulders.

  • Asking Lemmy for a concise write up about why Corporate Social Media can't work ?

    Jump

  • Market socialism, aka worker cooperatives, consumer cooperatives, credit unions, open source, fediverse etc are still part of capitalism, but are not profit first. All enterprise exists to create value for, and serve the community, profit doesn't have to be the driver. When refugees move to a new city / country, they setup ways to share food, clothes and other goods in order to serve the community, it's not profit first. In essence, when community is more important than commerce, then the enterprise won't be profit first.

  • Enshittification is a result of a company trying to squeeze more out from their customers this quarter than they did last quarter. That is because the line must always go up, so any wall St or investor first company becomes a profit first company. This is the westernized flavor of capitalism. Not all capitalism is profit first.

  • Brother, you and I are the universe recycled / reincarnated over and over again living life one day at a time like a real metaverse. This consciousness is a dream, although we can't tell because we're inside the dream. Unlike the dreams in our sleep, biting this finger hurts for real, but real is a thing you perceive just like how we perceive money to be real in an engaging game of Monopoly.

  • I really have

    Jump

  • How do you know you've seen enough when you admittedly haven't even seen clearly? Perhaps need to keep cleaning the glasses? Or is there another meaning I don't understand?

  • karma is the original gamefication

  • Lovely comment. People live their entire lives maintaining a facade that they don't have the mental bandwidth to maintain as they age. Just maintaining that facade eats up your mental processing capacity. Moral of the story, drop the facade, drop the mask, embrace and be yourself, and live freely.

  • Anyone got anything they wanna talk about?

  • If you need help in starting or running a business, feel free to message me.

  • Is it possible to be self employed from home if i have autism?

    Jump

  • If you are autistic, you will find it almost impossible to work for someone else because you will see things clearly and you will speak your mind, and corporations typically don't appreciate any of that.

    Working for yourself is the only way you can find true liberation where you can chase your dreams and what you think is right with all your might like a mad scientist.

    Business is super hard too, but if you want to live a life of no regrets and maybe have a chance of finding your purpose, you must follow your heart and chase it though fire if you have to.

  • I want to ask you about creativity and art.

    Jump

  • AI art -For someone who creates art - AI art is meaningless because art really is about how the process of creating art itself makes us feel, how each brush stroke fills us with joy as the whole picture comes together more beautiful than we imagined. Even in misery and failure, it really was about the experience and living through those moments.For someone who just appreciates art - AI art is soulless because there is nothing authentic about it, nothing relevant or connecting you to any story or person. I can't imagine anyone even putting AI art on their walls.For someone who previously had poor access to artistic expression simply because they lacked the artistic skills - AI allows them to express themselves freely unlike ever before. For advertisers and slop generators - they were gonna automate it anyways, it's still a useful tool to create digital campaigns if you're into that, but with all the slop out there, AI will only accelerate humanity's move away from attention economy to sustainable economy.

  • Lemmy, what's the meaning, or point if you prefer, of life? I know 42, but I'm serious. Nothing lasts, everything is meaningless - are we just amusing ourselves until death?

    Jump

  • I am the universe, and therefore the universe has a purpose in giving me consciousness for a lifetime. We get a lottery for what life-form we get created in (whether we're a human or a fish or a leaf) and most of that life will go just chasing the continuity of life (consuming energy, burning energy, reproducing), the rest is all made up rules of engagement in society (school, work, career, politics), all of which is "Leela" - a very believable illusion, like a game of monopoly or a very engaging play or a movie - believable, but not absolute truth. So back to the universe and why it gave me consciousness in the first place? It's just so that I can experience the universe, and see the beauty and oneness of all universe - not just the stars and the planets, but also the living forms of it - the flowers, the bugs, the pets, the wildlife, and all of the other humans on this planet, each one a unique fucking marvellous magical version of the same universe.

  • The sole purpose of language models is to lower the market value of human skills.

    Jump

  • 50 years ago - you won't believe how many paper pushers we'll be able to get rid of once this invention called computers takes off!

    Also, man these robotic arms sure help automate our factories, but if you turn your head upside down you will see it as 'lowering the market value of human skills'.

  • Is self diagnosing an ok thing to do?

    Jump

  • What are you even going to do if you were proper diagnosed? There is no fix, no cure for it, it's only for you to know that you have different wiring in your brain and you know that already because that is the only way things make sense. I'm not proper diagnosed but it makes sense that I'm neurodivergent because I know I've been different all my life in how I see things versus how others see them. The best thing I can do with that self-diagnosis is to simply accept and embrace my neurodivergence and maybe even lean fully into my weirdness if so called because I know that that weirdness allows me to see things clearly when others cannot, and prioritize things correctly when others cannot, and problem solve through life like a champ when others cannot. That weirdness is not a weakness, but a superpower, so maybe just keep it secret ;)

  • Hello world, lemmee refugee here, & first post on piefed! I had exported my settings before the ship went down, figured we could import it in another instance to save my comments and communities, but I don't see any option to import here. Does piefed speak with Lemmy yet it's not part of Lemmy?
