  • I'd say their decision making was mostly forced by their drop in ad revenue and subscriptions forced by the internet.

    Though I do wish that someone would make a Spotify for news so that I could pay once and get access to all of them and at least give them 10 cents per article or something, because I will never pay the subscription cost any are asking.

    As much as I'd like to support them, the price to utility ratio is way the fuck off at the prices they ask now.

  • Wow, even mafia behavior. Hardcore.

  • As much as I hate the US hegemony, the only path to world peace in the past has been when there is one or maybe 2 dominant powers. The more multipolar the world becomes, the more war breaks out all over the place.

    And if we must have a hegemon and our choices are the US, Russia, or China, I will take the US. Though I would take the EU over all of them if they could muster the unity to pull it off.

  • We've seen all the window border/ui design cycles by now. You can have:

    • Glassy
    • Metallic
    • Bubbly
    • Flat

    They will just rotate every 7 years or so from here on out.

  • You are not Lemmy, and Lemmy is not you. But maybe I was too harsh in saying it's not important.

    IMHO Lemmy should be fun, not a responsibility. ITT if it starts to become a burden, you should just relieve yourself of the burden by pressing the mark done button.

    But having fun is also important, so I take that back. And you are important to me, Stamets, but you are not Lemmy, and Lemmy is not you.

  • You've got to master the shortcuts and often enter from the exit. It can be forced into some semblance of usability with enough practice. But I wouldn't wish the practice on anyone.

  • This is definitely part of the issue, not sure why people are downvoting this. That's also why tests like this are important, to illustrate that thinking in the way we know it isn't happening in these models.

  • There are a lot of people out there that think LLM's are somehow reasoning. Even reasoning models aren't really doing it. It important to do demonstrations like this in the hopes that the general public will understand the limitations of this tech.

  • Exactly. The only way is to block it and then choose something on your device whenever you want to show them something, and never let them use it without you choosing the content. The algorithm will always lead them to the darkest bowels of garbage content in my experience.

  • The stuff he was watching was more "am I gonna catch Mikey? Mikey is a chicken" kind of stuff. If he was really learning about the mechanics and how to program stuff in Minecraft with redstone or something, I could get behind it. I know Minecraft well enough to know the junk from the good stuff. And he watched probably 10 videos like this every day for more than a year, so I think from those thousands of videos he's learned whatever he would have learned already.

    Now instead he is mostly watching chess videos and playing on an app called ChessKid which I'm much more happy with.
