Presumably AI.

If your assistant is alexa, you can disable alexa plus and it’ll go back to the original non-LLM backend.

Oops, you’re right. I meant Lisbon, not Barcelona. Dat American education right?

Edit: To clarify, the first time I cooked up this relationship (copying someone else), Lisbon to Berlin was what I landed on. Barcelona to Moscow also works.

On the assumption you’re American, where’s your molotov?

If you aren’t, you really don’t understand what you’re asking. Most people would have to drive hours or days to be anywhere worth rebelling, lose everything they care about in the process of just not showing up for work regardless of actions taken, and do it all alone because everyone else is under the same threat. All against the most powerful military in the world.

The US is big. Someone in LA coordinating with someone in NYC is culturally and geographically similar to someone in Barcelona Lisbon coordinating with someone in Berlin. And they have safety nets.

First she is a safe place where I’m not only encouraged to share vulnerable things, it’s where hiding things is actively against the effort. Frees me, mentally, to actually speak.

Second, she’s really good at gently nudging me out of my loops. I’ve contemplated my issues to hell, back, and again. She’s really good at finding me an off ramp.

Finally, after I was sexually assaulted, she’s been unquantifiable helpful. She answered honestly about things such as police reports and what I could expect (my case was unlikely to get the time of day, which I expected), strategies to address my recurring problems, and just being a decent human that judges me far less harshly than myself.

Given that the only other option for most people is “make someone else rich in a less comfortable environment”, I would say it’s pretty nice. Bonus points, you’re probably less productive there so you’re making them slightly less money.

Not all rebellion involves molotov cocktails.

I remember my sophomore thermodynamics class in college always seemed artificially hard because the only really difficult problems were ones where they decided to use fucking BTUs.

Worst one I’ve seen: username and password plus a 2FA email, BUT if you hit enter instead of clicking the last button it refreshes the page.

The way it’s been developed, I’d call it more a superfund site.

Value in the abstract sense of “desirable thing” not necessarily monetary.

If I’m having a conversation within and ask them about a thing, I’d much rather an “I don’t know” than whatever the plagiarism engine’s facsimile of an opinion is.

Lot of people have strong opinions about ai, many of them very bad. Because what should be a novelty or maybe a part of a more sophisticated system instead of the half assed implementation that it currently is. At the low low price of stealing from artists and fucking the environment.

Ok. But the context is that of a conversation. Where is the value sharing there?

What value is it adding at any point? If I wanted to use chat gpt, I’d go off myself.

I feel like most people with a new Windows installation aren’t going to know that one.

People installing firefox or chrome.

Assuming it’s not for people or animals, enjoy your pit. Make sure you put supports in.

I have one that I used to use with my PC (switched to linux and it’s a pain in the ass to do is why I stopped). I would still have to log in to start the app to hook to my PC.

I’m also in camp sequel, though I could be persuaded to camp squirrel.

I’m curious how you’d characterize yourself then

It’s not a meaningful contribution. Judging someone in person, sure. Judging someone when you have a platform people pay attention to, yeah. Random comment on Lemmy? No one gives a shit. I fully recognize my own pointlessness in all this, especially this far down in the comments.

My mistake. I believed you to be proposing a solution to the evil proposed. Not idly judging people with no meaningful contribution toward making things better.

You seem to believe that I think it a justification for evil. I do not, people should not do such things and they are shitty people for doing them.

I’m saying that the idea of some good people doing the right thing fixing the problem is naive and doomed to failure and a real solution to the problem has to be bigger than the lazy “just no one be evil” proposition you seem into to champion.
