    When will the AI slop end?

    Most of common information is usually wrong. When programmers gaslight themselves into using it, the code is almost always wrong. Artists are all pissed, because both Nvidia and "Open"AI trained their data on hundreds of terabytes of stolen data too.

    The only ones still satisfied with this, are the top 0.01% billionaires, who continue selling these products to companies, who in turn buy this only because of peer pressure










  • I genuinely cannot express how much it annoys me that I cannot have a blocklist for keywords.

    Most of the things I read are from my subscribed communities, which i’m very happy about generally, however given the overall state of life today, half of the posts in completely unrelated communities end up being one of the following:

    • Twitter CEO
    • Hate speech in US politics
    • AI propaganda for some pump and dump quick money

    I really just don’t want to see any of those things




  • Some of my closest friendships are people I’ve either never seen, or only got to meet a couple times. It’s not like living far away makes them worse friends.

    You never know what kind of situation you’ll end up in. One time my transfer flights got messed up, and I was left stranded in a random airport for almost a day. I ended up asking around, and one of those long-distance friends drove hours to pick me up, get me some food, and let me get rest too.

    Of course I’d love for them to live closer, so we can see each other regularly, but i’ll take what I can have


  • Basically every single email client I have ever used, with the exception of Thunderbird, has somehow ended up in the hands of some soulless corp, and has either been discontinued, or got a subscription price that’s impossible to justify.

    Some of these genuinely make no sense too. I’m paying per inbox, and a weird web wrapper that just opens google calendar? Come on

    This could have been an absolutely insane product, if they sold it without all the useless bullshit like the facial passthrough, at a decent price. As it is, especially given how fragile it is, it’s just a toy at best.

    It’s basically taken the exact opposite route of something like the Xbox Kinect, which turned from a toy into something people use in science
