There’s probably plenty of overlap between p(ir/riv)acy communities.

I was about to write a comment saying that I agree with you, but then I decided to fact check myself.

Turns out, my intuition was wrong. Apple really has a larger market share than Samsung.

It’s a lot like email really. If the 14 MB of storage hotmail once offered wasn’t enough for you, switching to the 1 GB of Gmail may have seemed appealing. If Google seems a bit too creepy for you, consider switching to proton or something.

If the admins of your current instance don’t like your cat memes, feel free to move to another one where cats and dogs are equally appreciated.

Oh, yeah those motivational quotes that sound great as long as you don’t think about them any longer that 2 seconds. By the time you get to the fourth second, the perceived wisdom of the quote is already on fire and about to fall apart and crumble into million pieces.

“Don’t stop when you’re tired. Stop when you’re done.”

And then you suddenly remember that friend who got severe burnout…

Image generating AIs are exceptionally good at pulling mutated horrors from the depths of Hell. I wonder what’s the equivalent job of an LLM such as GPT4. Writing business books?

That’s just lean. If one employee is sick, everything falls apart. If the delivery of a specific part to the production line is delayed, everything stops.

It’s all very intentional, because it’s lean. Having buffers of any kind costs money, while making everything lean makes it cheaper to run your company. As usual, all of this is also reflected on profits and dividend income.

Someone has to make sure Siri understands what I’m saying in a situation where I might as well use my fingers to get the same stuff done, but doesn’t understand a single word when I’m driving.

Nah, foget about Lemmy. The name isn’t edgy enough. Just think about Discord, Squabble, Insultr, TauntTornado, FuryFurnace or FistFight.

Way ahead of you. Recently got Nebula, which has dramatically reduced the amount of time I spend on YT. Besides, this way I can help also the people who make the videos. They don’t need to be so dependent on the whimsical and unpredictable nature of the algorithm and the ever changing landscape of what is or isn’t advertiser friendly on the platform.

If YT feels like further cranking up the enshittification dial, I say, bring it on. I’m ready to drop my watch time even lower than it currently is.

But the ones currently in commercial production didn’t come out of nowhere. There were lots of incremental improvements that didn’t make headlines. What you see in tech articles is just a thin slice of the whole story.

“In 1882 I was in Vienna, where I met an American whom I had known in the States. He said: 'Hang your chemistry and electricity! If you want to make a pile of money, invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others' throats with greater facility.'”

Hiram Maxim

I wonder if something similar happened with openAI.

Forgot about NFTs and marketing. Invent something that will enable these Europeans to cut each others' throats more efficiently.

LOL, that was a brilliant summary about what these contracts usually boil down to. However, they should probably include these things too: “You’re not allowed to do anything cool. If anything goes wrong, it’s always your fault.”

These brutally honest super short contracts could be fun to read.
