Je passe pour la première fois quelque jours en Espagne, à Barcelone. Je ne peux m'empêcher de remarquer à quel point les gens sont extrêmement malpolis envers moi et ma compagne, nous sommes français, ne parlons pas espagnol et tentons de communiquer en anglais. Presque toujours, les gens ne sourient pas, ne disent pas bonjour, on l'air complètement mécontent de l'interaction, les employés de guichet de service tel que dans le métro ou la gare répondent à peine. Dans le train, pour accéder à ma place le long de la fenêtre, la personne assise côté couloir (entre moi et ma place) ne s'est même pas levée ni ne m'a répondu, il a fallu que je me faufile entre ses jambes et le siège pour m'asseoir. J'ai eu de nombreuses interactions de ce type.. C'est très étrange, je ne sais pas si c'est parce que je ne parle pas espagnol, est-ce une forme de racisme/xénophobie ? Est ce spécifique à la Catalogne ? J'essaie pour ma part d'être aimable et souriant et de respecter autant que possible les gens que je croise.

Je ne trouve rien non plus en ligne qui documente ce phénomène. Avez-vous déjà entendu cela ? Pour ma part j'ai toujours entendu dire que les espagnols étaient des gens très sympathiques.

Comme nous l'a demontré la réforme des retraites, ce que veut 80% de la population n'a aucune importance, tout ce qui compte en politique c'est ce que veulent les riches et/ou les grosse entreprises.

Il va arriver un moment où il va falloir leur prendre par la force.

Ça y est, enfin ! Cette fois ci il y va, 5 ans de séchoir!

Yes, I know it has an impact, though not as big as you make it seem, (and so is everything). When you divide it to calculate the personal impact, it is way lower than a huge number of other stuff. I agree that we need to address climate change, but I don't believe this should be the main focus.

Also, every individual should be able to choose how they spend their "carbon allocation", personally, I don't eat meat, I never take the plane, I don't own a car and do everything using bike and trains, my house is carbon negative (building it actually had a negative carbon footprint) which was a huge sacrifice I had to compromise getting a way way smaller house for way more debt than if I had built a cheap standard house (and of course I'm in debt for decade). LLM makes me more efficient at my job so I think I can afford the carbon footprint that comes with it which, as I said, is not as big per individual as you make it appear.

I understand that hanging on Lemmy makes it seem like AI/LLM is the worse thing that has happened to mankind, but it's really not, there are lots of issues with it, sure. But there is worse stuff to worry about.

I want to finish by saying that I DO support your action to minimize its impact, what you are doing overall is important and necessary, but I think you should revise the individual argument you put up against LLM, cause this one is not great.

I agree, cursor and other IDE integration have been a game changer. It made it way easier for a certain range of problems we used to have in software dev. And for every easy code, like prototyping, or inconsequential testing, it's so so fast. What I found is that, it is particularly efficient at helping you do stuff you would have been able to do alone, and are able to check once it's done. Need to be careful when asking stuff you aren't familiar with though, cause it will comfortably lead you toward a mistake that will waste your time.

Though one thing I have to say: I'm very annoyed by it's constant agreeing with what I say, and enabling me when I'm doing dumb shit. I wish it would challenge me more and tell me when I'm an idiot.

"Yes you are totally right", "This is a very common issue that everybody has", "What a great and insightful question"...... I'm so tired of this BS.

I get the sentiment behind this post, and it's almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology. It is akin to climate change denier using the argument: "look! It snowed today, climate change is so dumb huh ?"

Their computer mice are pretty good quality, but I don't know if they are the best.

Clippy is becoming a shared symbol. The idea it represents is that: we are not happy with the way companies lock us out of our own devices. We want to be allowed to do whatever we want with the hardware we bought. We want to be able to repair it. We want privacy when using it... Etc...

[–] BlueMagma@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 month ago

The goal is to show each other we are many. He explained it in another video, the clippy movement actually had an impact. This is simply the first step for organising as a group around a shared idea: using a common symbol. It doesn't matter what the symbol is, as long as we recognize each other using it.

In other news: sunglasses are now prohibited in public transport, they were found to modify the perception of ads, modifying the intellectual property of ad maker in public places, the impact was a reduced market values of ad space in public transit which would have forced the city to increase the ticket price.

Stay tuned for news on those disgusting blinker pirate: those people blink twice more often than normal people which makes them see only half as many ads, police forces has invested millions in brand new blinking frequency detector, in order to more easily catch those dangerous criminals.

Ce soir je me sens tout particulièrement déprimé du comportement de ceux qui m'entourent. Je me demande parfois pourquoi je continue de faire tout ces efforts et ces privations...

La Cigale ayant vécu tout l'été sans souci,

Voyageait en avion vers Miami,

Roulait en SUV par la ville,

Consumait sans répit plastique et pétrole utile.

Elle vivait dans l'instant présent,

Ignorant superbement

Les alertes des scientifiques patients :

"Le climat se réchauffe dangereusement !"

Pendant ce temps, sa voisine la Fourmi

Travaillait jour et nuit,

Isolait sa maison avec soin,

Prenait le vélo matin et soir,

Triait ses déchets avec espoir,

Mangeait local, réduisait ses besoins.

"Pourquoi te priver ainsi ?" riait la Cigale,

"La vie est si banale

Quand on refuse de voyager !

Moi je vis sans me priver,

L'avenir ? Il faut bien en profiter !"

La Fourmi, sage et prévoyante,

Répondait d'une voix inquiétante :

"Tes excès d'aujourd'hui,

Cigale, nous coûteront demain la vie."

Mais l'autre insouciante poursuivait sa route,

Consumant sans écoute,

Multipliant les vols transatlantiques,

Les achats en plastique,

Les plaisirs énergétiques.

Quand les tempêtes furent venues,

Les canicules inattendues,

La Cigale chercha refuge

Chez la Fourmi, après le déluge.

"Ma maison s'est écroulée,

Mes biens ont été emportés,

Peux-tu m'aider, voisine ?

Car la catastrophe s'obstine."

La Fourmi, le cœur serré,

Dut alors avouer :

"Hélas ! Cigale imprudente,

Malgré ma vie si différente,

Malgré tous mes efforts constants,

Tes excès d'insouciante

M'emportent dans la tourmente.

Car nous partageons le même ciel,

La même terre, le même miel.

Ton carbone dans l'atmosphère

A réchauffé notre planète entière.

Mes économies, mes privations,

N'ont pu compenser tes émissions.

Nous voici toutes deux punies :

Toi de ton insouciance,

Moi de ton inconséquence."

Et c'est ainsi que la morale

De cette fable nous égale :

Dans un monde interconnecté,

Les excès de quelques-uns

Condamnent tous les autres, chacun.

Car le climat ne connaît frontière,

Et nos destins sur cette Terre

Sont liés pour le meilleur et le pire :

L'égoïsme de l'un fait l'autre mourir.

I find it hilarious that most people in this thread are complaining about being called a "something vegan", like I can understand not being happy with the current AI trend, but it seems like the word "vegan" is what makes everyone ticks, it's NOT an insult, the "normal" vegan are very happy to be called like that, because what it refers too is something that they agree and identify with. If you agree and identify yourself with what those journalist are calling "AI vegans", the name doesn't matter, embrace it, call yourself that to easily express what you believe about AI.

Vegan is not an insult, it is a compliment.
