Because Lemmy is a most of the time a kind, left leaning socialist utopia, unless it is about cars, and men. And if it is about both, boy oh boy. And if you added AI, you’d get a trifecta of negativity.
It is gross to me, seeing so many up voted comments body shaming, some stranger for the car they drive, but the in-group bias is massive.
I wonder if they would be this gross if it was a woman driving the car.
Been there, issue is balance. If I were you, I would apologize with your mother first, explain to her that you were under stress and while that is not an excuse, and you understand that you should not have flipped her off and you are sorry.
You are in a difficult situation, and you felt scrutinized on things that you have been working on, and working on HARD. Called out for a former situation, and felt your progress dismissed and trivialized. Most parents are not great with autism, and lack the flexibility. How you handle it, is ultimately your choice, and most importantly, I’m just sharing what I would have done with MY parents on a situation like that, you are the one who knows your parents, and their responses.
Best of luck, and proud of you.
Lmao, this post is about you. Literally.
Connect. It solves the issue with Sync where clicking “Back” resets my feed, but after a bit of scrolling my followed communities, sorted by recent, it just stops loading. So I ended up going back to Sync.
Saved, my bf and I thank you.
I originally disliked her whole thing because to me, it looked like she had been groomed and pushed by her parents for fame by proxy. Oh boy how have I been proved wrong, and I admire that brave woman.
She has amazing willpower, connections and fame, she could have a cushy job as a PR mascot or a CEO, But guess what? She still chooses to be on the trenches, fighting for all of us trapped under capitalism’s boot, so we can’t spread our message like her.
I truly admire her, her message and what she stands for.
Info guide on how to lick a clit. Top is the clitoral hood, bottom is the clit itself
Nope, still on the March 26th, 2024 version. It works for me though.
Connect looks awesome, but I can’t for the life of me find a feed for only my subbed communities, Do you know if that is an option?
Who talked about image generation? That one is pretty much useless, for anything that needs to be generated on the fly like that, a stick figure would do.
Devouring text like that, has been instrumental in learning for my students, especially for the ones who have English as a Second Language(ESL), so its usability in teaching would be interesting to discuss.
Do I think general open LLMs are the future? Fuck no. Do I think they are useless and unjustifiable? Neither. I think, at their current state, they are a brilliant beta test on the dangers and virtues of large language models and how they interact with the human psyche, and how they can help bridge the gap in understanding, and how they can help minorities, especially immigrants and other oppressed groups(Hence why I advocated for providing a class on how to use it appropriately for my ESL students) bridge gaps in understanding, help them realize their potential, and have a better future.
However, we need to solve or at least reduce the grip Capitalism has on that technology. As long as it is fueled by Capitalism, enshitification, dark patterns and many other evils will strip it of its virtues, and sell them for parts.
A based point of view, Bravo, my dear. Do you know how rare that is? People in here love to think about themselves as free thinkers, when a lot of them are in reality, reactionary at best.
Same for citing renting, landlords and Ai. They are disgustingly evil when used for profit, but they also have their uses. In another comment I’m sure will be downvoted to hell, if not outright buried, I mention the uses of GenAI for translation, text simplification, summarization and studying, yet people got the whole “AI=BAD” as a thought-terminating cliche.
GenAI is a great tool for devouring text and making practice questions, study guides and summarize, it has been used as a marvelous tool for education and research. Hell, if set properly, you can get it to give you the references and markers on your original data for where to find the answers to the questions on the study guide it made you.
It is also really good for translation and simplification of complex text. It has its uses.
But the oversimplification and massive broad specs LLMs have taken, plus lack of proper training for the users, are part of the problem Capitalism is capitalizing on. They don’t care for the consumer’s best interest, they just care for a few extra pennies, even if those are coated in the blood of the innocent. But a lot of people just foam at the mouth when they hear “Ai”.
Odd, it doesn’t load for me.
Once again, a reactionist who doesn’t know that things like AlphaFold, AI assisted malignant tumor scanning and a few other very beneficial technologies are also AI. Technologies that are not slop, or “A human would do better” scenarios but true breakthroughs.
So weird, Right? I get the same with Ketchup, for some reason, it just tastes off-putting and disgusting to me, like vinegar and sugar, with a bit weird chemical aftertaste and maybe a hit of tomato, lol.
I see people coating their hot dogs and fries with that and just think “Ew, but to each, their own”
Honestly, thst is very subjective. I love tamarind and pepper candy, vanilla ice cream with spicy chips, and honey plus roasted chillies marinade for pork.
And I say this as someone who is not into spicy food, there are a few combinations out there, where the sweet and spicy mix actually work great for a snack.
Kinda funny how the image invokes reactionary ragebait just for clicks, and a lot of people are being farmed for engagement like that.
If they had actually made that the branding, sure, but it is not much more than ragebait and nothingburgers. And might have been a dog whistle, possibly maybe.
Thank you for being the voice of reason and your patience with some people. A lot of people succumb to The Toupee Fallacy (A form of selection bias in which a thing whose quality is measured in terms of being difficult to detect is wrongly judged to be of poor quality in general, caused by the fact that most people only notice poor quality instances of it.).
I stopped showering every day for medical reasons and under medical supervision when I was young, and that really helped with my smell(Turns out I had both a fungal infection, and a hormonal disorder), and the habit stayed. My hair and my skin do a lot better, and due to the nature of my job, I would certainly know if I smelled, since I am often meeting clients and other team leads.
Having a bidet, applying deodorant daily and changing my clothes daily as well, added to working in climate controlled spaces, away from the sun, crowds and smelly habits like smoking are all factors that some people seem incapable of even considering.
But of course, this is Lemmy, where nuance often just fucking dies.
