You know, I remember not too long ago when people on Lemmy tried to interpret each other charitably. Then everyone from Reddit came over, polluting the culture, and now practically every exchange on here feels like it’s in bad faith.

That model only works if people actually adopt the technology

Are you dense? That’s not the question.

Depends. Are they still making negative money with it? If so, then I’m gonna say no.

It’s kind of like robbing a bank, killing everyone inside, then running out without taking anything, dropping your wallet in the process

The error message goes stale when it’s been sitting for a while. I need to see a fresh one.

I was on 4chan from age 12 to 25 and I never ended up a bigot

Nah, it won’t be an apocalypse. Just more of the dystopia we’re all completely accustomed to. You’ll get ads based on the content of your blood. Police will show up at your door minutes after you ingest any illegal drug. And you know that thing where LinkedIn and dating apps are like “we may or may not have found you a match, pay us to find out!” You’ll get notifications like that about cancer.

I’m gonna venture a guess and say no

It’s not possible to be racist toward inanimate objects. Computers are not a race. LLMs are not people.

Yeah, like being held in captivity and tortured endlessly. That’s worse than death. I wouldn’t really say becoming religious is on the same level as Guantanamo Bay.

Yeah sure I agree but also that has basically nothing to do with my comment

I mean, surely the worst part of drug addiction is the uh… Dying? Right?

Man, remember when Lemmy’s culture wasn’t a mirror image of Reddit? Those were the days. I miss that.

Word to the wise stay the fuck away from women who try to separate you from your friends

Honestly I have no idea, it was about a decade ago or more. I thought everyone went under for it until my most recent girlfriend told me that she got hers out with local anaesthetic.

When I woke up from having my wisdom teeth out, I had crazy and terrifying hallucinations all the way home. While we were parked waiting for something, I saw someone run up, press their face against my window, and scream my name while slamming their fists on the window. I closed my eyes and curled up into a ball, and I was instantly in some sort of cave system underground that was rapidly collapsing and burying me alive. I don’t remember much else but my mom said I was freaking out the whole way home.

I’m terrified of anesthesia now and I have yet to find any explanation for what happened to me.

I don’t think any natural thing exists for a reason. That’s reserved for things made or at least caused by sentient beings.

In order to believe complements one would first have to receive them

We look both ways no matter what because that’s the protocol and the protocol keeps us safe. If you believe it’s safe to deviate from the protocol, you’re opening up a chance to be wrong. It’s that simple.

My chemistry teacher told us this when we were first handling dangerous chemicals and it’s stuck with me ever since.

I don’t say please and thank you to any inanimate objects whatsoever and if I were to begin doing so (which I will never do) computers would be the very last to receive that treatment from me. Personifying computers is not practice for how to treat people. Fuck clankers
