  • Why are the Populist Right Surging in Australia?

    Jump

  • You'd think that, but the general age with which people tend to trend conservative is currently met by millennials, and they're not turning conservative - if anything they're becoming slightly more left wing.

    And I shun your necessity of death. Crispr will enable me to see 1 billion years (I hope god I hope I hope)

  • Bless the Millennial generation who seem to be bucking this trend.

    I used to think the internet brought a shift towards progressivism for all generations adapted to it, but now I think it was likely an aberration for millennials - when our internet was controlled and crafted essentially only by those smart enough to navigate it. Then when the internet became 3-4 apps, conservativism as consensus became the norm again.

    Hopefully we're a big enough cohort like the boomers were, that we can set a progressive political standard for a few decades.

    ...why is it only $17,000 lower...

  • Trigger warnings should be labelled anyway, like TW [rape]. A blanket trigger warning is useless, how are people supposed to know what topic is triggering?

    Don't make me do it again.

  • Agreed, if we all cut out meat from our diet, land the size of both of the America's and China are returned to us while still providing the same amount of food. 20% of the entire planets GHG emissions are instantly removed. Humans aren't a virus, people who refuse to change their lifestyles are.

  • But this one seems to be updated for some reason? The bottom spit take reaction is not the original.

  • In my uni days, we studied why cigarette shaming was effective, and why fat shaming wasn't, turns out a lot of overweight people eat to regulate emotions, shaming them for being fat increased risk of emotional eating. While it may have worked for you, studies show it's ineffective at pushing people to lose weight.

  • You're Not Bad At Job Hunting—30% Of Job Postings Are Fake

  • "These phantom job postings aren't just wasting your time. They're stalling your career while destroying your confidence."

    The most ghastly AI phrase, gave up reading right there.

  • I mean, it cited the exact line in the other hospitals EA, that's what deep research mode does. Methinks you don't know how far chatgpt has come, and are just basing it off of the original models?

  • helping along the death of the internet

    Am I? Chastising those on Lemmy for using AI, are they the cause of the dead internet theory? Or is that caused by bot farms manipulating social media algorithms? Just because a hammer builds weapons doesn't mean one should ban the hammer.

    You may not contribute to scraped sites

    I disagree, AI is likely a solution to worsening forums and the like - boring old repeated questions will be answered by AI, anything more unique and interesting will be asked of real people.

    I like gathering information

    Unless you're doing your own physical research on every possible query and question, you're just as complicit as an AI user for gathering secondary information. You reading a blog post on a topic is no better than me reading an AI summary of 1,000 blog posts.

    Bubble bursts

    That's like getting angry at McDonalds for the 80s recession, because a bunch of secondary investors bet on it's perpetual success. Thats not the fault of McDonalds OR LLMs.

    These are lazy, illogical complaints about a new technology from reactionary conservative thinking, the same thing was said about the internet when you were younger, of TV when your parents were younger, and of the radio, and of the phonograph, and of the camera etc etc. Get with the times OLD MAN.

  • I mean, sure, if you use it to write an essay of course it's gonna impede knowledge retention. But that's the equivalent of going "the ctrl-c/ctrl-v command is associated with reduced pre-frontal cortex activation".

    I mean, I don't care if people refuse to get on board with new tech, but it screams a lack of understanding of the tech. People are going "musk bad, Altman bad, tech bro bad" and going "therefore chatgpt bad".

    Na chatgpt good, handy, I fed it my current Employee Enterprise Agreement and the previous 2, and asked via deep research for a comparison of them all, against comparable businesses to see if our pay increases were fair. Ive got a meeting today to argue for increases, after ChatGPT found that we were a little under. What a brilliant tool!

  • Part of the learning process is working and searching for an answer

    That logic can be used to poo-poo literally any study aid. Why is watching a YouTube video on how to tamp a post superior to a chatgpt summary?

    Why take the train when you should "expend an iota of effort" and make the 3 hour walk to work?

    This is unsound logic that I expect on Reddit, not Lemmy. Go continue your crusade against the spinning jenny, small-minded Luddite.

  • Chatgpt helped me build my garden beds, build a lamp out of an old telephone, learn Japanese grammar quirks, improve lacklustre recipes, look after my plants and stop my dog from barking. That's this month.

    I could have gone to Reddit or blogs and scrounged around for hours/days to find that info, but chatgpt had already aggregated it and neatly presented it.

    The Luddites who refuse to use AI are simply that. You either don't understand it's weaknesses and learn to work around them, or you're becoming your techphobic grandparents.
