This is what bugs me about capitalism, they don’t keep to their corner, they basically stand back and look for the most opportunistic land and steal it from people that want nothing to do with capitalism.

I wish we could encapsulate all that in one region so it would become obvious it doesn’t make things better.

Valve was powerful enough to spearhead good consumer software.

Could they do the same for hardware?

For several years, I worked in Ethiopia and Djibouti. There are still tribes of hunters and nomadic warriors living there. Contact with different cultures, such as Western culture, causes all their values, their way of understanding the world, the stories they tell their children, and their mythologies to collapse. After contact, these stories look odd. The children stop recognizing themselves in their parents, in their elders; they no longer want to go on. Many fall into drugs or alcohol. In the capital of Djibouti, a large part of the population lives under the influence of drugs.

Oofff and this is with me omitting the most grim part of the paragraph.

Wouldn’t that require the LLM to actually grasp ideas?

Even brain dead people can understand some things

Built on rust you say???

Anyone got a good suggestion for a self hosted option? Ideally one that has a good iOS app and a web interface.

Could just be because they address it rather fast.

It could also be due to chrome limiting what uBlock can do.

UBlock + Firefox seems like the ideal combo.

Counterpoint, it doesn’t make your experience ad free as many YouTubers have sponsored content.

Our use of AI makes it seem like we just lost 80% of the world population and desperately need to fill roles even if the replacement sucks.

Soooo here is a general question about cybersecurity.

Is it really important if there are no consequences to breeches?

Same way big business see fines as a cost of doing business, I think we are getting to a time that breaches might become part of business as usual.

I actually think that’s a good thing as a person who promotes self hosting. If the assumption becomes that your data is never safe in corporate hands, people might move away from having their entire lives on the cloud.

Nah, it’s not intelligent.

Everything we have today wouldn’t be considered AI in science fiction.

I think a lot of it is unfortunately tied to how quiet US politics is, when more outrageous things happen, the worse the lemmy experience becomes.

We are just not the type to put our heads in the sand.

I would imagine that being a pedophile would need some kind of moral framework that’s says your above normal morality.

So yes.

It’s more like, when they watched those movies, they kind of got inspired by the villains and thought the negative portrayal was the fictional part.

They have always been waiting for the opportunity to do villain stuff and do it as long as they can get away with it (like doing a certain salute).

Sure but isn’t that the wrong order?

As someone who barely used discord, what are these other features, is it not just a regular chat app?

But can you post from lemmy to Mastodon?

I’m not asking if it would make sense, I just feel left out cause of the one sided posting ability

Or it could also be case of sunk cost fallacy. They have already put unimaginable amounts of money into it, backing down now would mean most if not all of that is lost.

Holy shit, I didn’t think of that angle, I think you’re probably right and that is horrifying cause I know they have no problem with letting us plebs go down with the ship and using their golden parachute.

That requires it to provide something other solutions can’t (or no longer do).

People need taxis, uber drove them out and then increased the price, so people used it and ended up paying a similar amount to old taxis (maybe a little more).

People don’t need AI, if chatGPT stops working, you can just use a search engine again. Sure you might not be used to it and feel dependant on the chatbot, but if it’s free compared to a big price tag, the path of least resistance would be to use the cheap solution.

The only way is that if your brain dead enough and rich enough to pay high prices, but these robber barons are ensuring people don’t have much cash.

While I agree with you, is there anyway to know how much an average prompt (let’s say a coding question that used to be a quick google search) costs?

I really want to ask people, would you pay X per prompt?

Cause most people “love” AI cause it costs very little
