The biggest factor for me was that it just felt better on a handheld platform. I put dozens of hours into that game on my android

Bought this game and forgot about it. Going to try it tonight thanks bro

My 70 year old boss and his 50 year old business partner just today generated a set of instructions for scanning to a thumb drive on a specific model of printer.

They obviously missed the “AI Generated” tag on the Google search and couldn’t figure out why the instructions cited the exact model but told them to press buttons and navigate menus that didn’t exist.

These are average people and they didn’t realize that they were even using ai much less how unreliable it can be.

I think there’s going to be a place for forums to discuss niche problems for as long as ai just means advanced LLM and not actual intelligence.

Too bad it’s not retroactive, but it seems cool to at least start

Right. There’s a difference between enshitification and adding features that just aren’t free.

If AI is a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?

Why, the trillion dollars not yet in the pockets of the companies that think they can take advantage of AI of course.

The naked truth is that #4 answers #1. The biggest utility AI might provide would be replacing paid workers. That’s a trillion dollar problem if your ultimate goal is to hoard wealth and sit atop the highest pile of gold like a dragon.

So again, we have a solution to a problem only the wealthy elite have, being marketed as an advancement for the greater good of society, to justify stealing the massive resources it consumes, in order to not have to pay that directly to their workers.

Capitalism.

Wow, I don’t think I’ve seen an edgier comment on the whole of lemmy.

You sound like you’ve got a lot to lose.

Telling me I’d like to watch it all burn, and then calling me a political pacifist in the next breath?

Yeah. You’re actively expressing both of those views at the same time by thinking yourself higher than the society you live in.

Anyway, the debt isn’t a tangible thing like you seem to think. And you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, and I won’t take on the responsibility of teaching you how to use a search engine, so I guess this is where the edgy comment chain ends.

Have fun in your cabin in the woods, brother. The rest of us understand what it means to live in a functional society. It’s not worth engaging any further with someone as far gone as you are ✌️

The debt will never come calling if calling on the debt means destabilizing the world economy. I’m sure you’d like to see that, but virtually every single player in that debt doesn’t.

So take your cryptic misinformation and go hide in a cabin in the woods. Meanwhile, the adults who understand that shit doesn’t get done by itself will be picking up the mess that political pacifists like you leave when you cower behind the notion that both sides are the same.

🙄 “Both sides”

Vote 3rd party and shut up then. I’m tired of hearing about how both parties are “equally bad”

The fact is that things tend to change for the better under democrats, albeit slowly. Republican judges just today gutted a long standing regulatory precedent that’s going to pave the way for capitalists to bleed Americans dry.

One party is luke warm. The other one is actively and progressively destroying our nation. I won’t entertain the idea that they are even close to the same.

I think it’s a fair thought that any form of life doesn’t perfectly recycle their resources and all forms of life give off waste for other life to utilize. That said, a reasonably advanced civilization might just inevitably grow to the size where the waste they put off makes their planet unlivable for them before they can take action to control it.

For us, it’s carbon dioxide.

Get out of here with your “both sides” garbage.

I’ve never had someone left of center tell me a whole group of people deserve to be locked up or killed. I had a right wing nut tell me just yesterday that all lgbtq folk are complicit in rape and pedophilia and deserve to be hanged. Sadly, that’s not even close to the only time someone has said that to me.

Both sides might be part of the problem here, but only one side is off their fucking rockers.

And this is why my math teachers never gave multiple choice tests

I like the idea of an infinitely exponentially growing base of users seeking help from some poor call center

People here seem to be mistaking stupidity as a measure of intelligence. Stupidity is a measure of wisdom.

An abundance of information doesn’t fix stupidity in the same way that shoveling water out of a boat with a leak won’t stop it from sinking.

You have to address the leak before shoveling water becomes productive. Or to circle back around, you have to address how someone learns, parses, and applies information before feeding them more information becomes productive.

I just had the mental image of a scaled up front end loader about the size of Rhode Island pushing an ungodly amount of material around. So thanks for that

most of the time for no reason at all

Not for no reason. It’s a form of control. If you genuinely believe that the opposing party is going to bring the country to ruin, you’re a lot less likely to consider their position in politics.

Look at the affordable care act. Conservatives hated/hate it because “obamacare” was portrayed as giving free health care to the lazy poor that you have to pay for as a hard working conservative. When asked if we should repeal Obamacare, conservatives poll something crazy like 95% yes, simply because it’s a bad word they learned.

Many of those conservatives have health care through the ACA and get mad when Republicans take it away because they need it. Those same conservatives mostly aren’t even aware that what they have is literally obamacare.

It’s control all the way down.

Politics is fundamentally different for conservatives. They have to have someone to hate. It’s drilled into them by their media outlets.

The tactic is a form of fear based control that conservative media has been working on since Nixon, and made into effect with the birth of Fox News in 1996.

Seriously. Nixon’s think tank conceived the conservative media outlet as a catch-all, exclusive source of news that as a primary function would steer conservatives to not trust other news sources.

They did this because they did not want another Watergate, where conservatives turned against Nixon because of hard evidence laid out by popular unbiased news, which at the time conservatives still were informed by.

The Frankenstein’s monster of a party that that tactic has turned conservatives into requires manufactured rage to fuel the fire. If the outrage ever simmers, you begin to see smarter conservatives recognizing what their party has become and it begins to fall apart.

So there’s your answer. It’s because the hate is necessary to continue the control. If you don’t believe me, turn on Fox news. There’s always the manufactured rage-of-the-day filling the air time.

On the topic of “Do I have to identify myself” or “Do I have to sign the ticket”:

The default option is jail. A cop can put you in jail for any reason if he determines you might be breaking the law. It’s literally their job. Agreeing to be identified gives them a reason to let you go, agreeing to appear in court of your own will for an infraction gives them a reason to not hold you until a forced court date.

I’m of the party that you should only cooperate the bare minimum with the police and I believe they have too much power as it is. But don’t refuse to identify yourself and don’t refuse to sign a ticket. Not unless you want a tour of the county jail.
