  • Why the fuck are you defending google so hard lmao.

    Ah yes, when I said "use a different search engine" as a solution to Google having issues I'm certainly defending Google! What an endorsement right? "Use a completely different service" is free publicity for Google!

  • Then the libraries would have to pay for hosting, so they’d have to be the ones selling user data to advertisers and stuff. Hence the extra degree of separation / “plausible deniability”

    What? Libraries don't sell data to advertisers to acquire, maintain and lend books. Why would they do that to provide ebooks? You unitedstatians got used to this bizarre mix of private corporations and public services and ended up accepting the premise that it's somehow mandatory.

  • In part, this is what Microsoft Recall is about: scraping end users’ data at will to sort and feed to its LLMs

    That's also what Google has always done. Want a large data set of emails? Look at our new free service, Gmail! Need a lot of images to train machine learning vision models? Check out our newest free backup tool, Google Photos! and so on. When they want one particular data type, they launch a free service that just so happens to collect this exact data type from millions of users.

  • Weird that third party apps, made by corporate entities, are needed for this. They're public libraries funded with public money, it should be one unified backend with libre applications.

  • Books made before 2019. Amazon is absolutely filled with AI generated books nowadays.

    In fact, this whole "consume media only from 2010 and earlier" idea is getting more appealing by the day. I'd rather watch an anime from the 80's where each frame was drawn by a human hand and somebody spent a week encoding it to extract all the details from the original analogue source, and the subtitles were made by a person who considered each nuance carefully as if their life depended on it, rather than watch a 2025 sequel to a prequel to a reboot of an existing IP where half the assets are AI, the subtitles are AI, the script is AI, and it's just the most generic mass appealing thing ever made.

  • To get a decent result on Google, you have to wade through 2 pages of ads, 4 pages of sponsored content, and maybe the first good result is on page 10.

    Block ads and use a different search engine?

    ChatGPT does a good job at filtering most of the bullshit.

    You repeated that twice, but it's demonstrably false. It does not. It feeds you completely wrong information randomly.

    I know enough to not just accept any shit from the internet at face value.

    If you're going to fact check ChatGPT anyway, you're wasting more time than just doing the research yourself with good tools. But this is a false equivalency, because by doing the research yourself you start to learn good sources and exercise information synthesis, by using ChatGPT and fact checking it you're helping Sam Altman get richer.

  • It’s also much better at looking up stuff than Google.

    Or maybe it's just as bad but extremely confident, so you accept the wrong results. ChatGPT is just looking at Reddit and Google search results through an additional layer of language processing, it can't possibly be better than either. Every day AI bros tell us "no seriously now they fixed search!" and I do the exact same benchmark of 10 easy questions that you can first an answer to within the first five results of a traditional search, and they fail on 6 out of 10.

  • GIMP isn’t a bacronym, it is an acronym.

    Doesn't matter for the point at hand.

    Gimp is a very pejorative term for a person with a limp.

  • I mean one of the most important pieces of software we always mention when converting users from Windows is called GIMP, I think "ricing" isn't nearly the most concerning term in the libre software world.

  • I have not touched a Microsoft product or service for my personal life in 10 years. Last year I was fired, thus no longer being forced to use Teams.

    Which means I haven't touched a Microsoft product, at all, in a year. Love it.

  • We gotta respect the struggle: my man is out here doing a sociological analysis of the history of women's fashion even though his brain is capable than no more than a Petri dish worth of depth. Was it a good analysis? No, but he tried and he had courage, never let your limitations shape your destiny.

    But maybe do try to research things before speaking.

  • I don't go to the supermarket for human connection, I go to get a product. But when getting said product I 100% prefer the human connection of a cashier than a machine, I don't even care if it's slightly slower.

  • I’m asking about where to draw the line between a meme and not a meme. The post is nothing but a few statements with a picture of a cat.

    I can draw 7 straight lines in a blank piece of paper, and a lot of people would recognize it as one of the most widespread memes ever on the internet. You should really look up the definition of what a meme is, and it's biological origin. Hint: memes are not things that make you in particular laugh.
