All of us. Every post here seems to be someone asking this same thing haha

True but still i expect this will be ‘patched’ in 10 years or less and i’m so worried about what will happen to literature by then

If you get it done to you, you want to get someone back. That is true for the first few times it happens. Later if it happens to you - espwcially if its in a more serious or dsngerous context - it tends to actually make you empathise more and feel discouraged from engaging in that behaviour.

Spending time on a space like modern twitter or 4chan can make you pick up their habits, and also desensitise you to their way of doing things.

Something about the Caleb entry when weighed up against everything else. If he’s that amazing, just stay with him! Guy taking the photo is cooked.

Then again, the whole thing is presumably fake, for the meme.

Irreversible PermaBan with no explanation. And I always disliked the prevailing culture there.

I think OP is right to be concerned, because while we don’t have karma like reddit (thank god), supposing someome was browsing old posts in a comm[unity] they might utilise the “Top of all time” filter or even the “most controversial of all time” filter - if our OP here makes a particularly useful post, e.g about a tech support issue - then I’m pretty sure having extra downvotes will actually reduce the reach and visibility of the post, using these filters.

Also in this case it was just useful because it exposes someone acting in bad faith on the fed.

Thia makes me feel sick just looking at it 🫣

No mate give it a rest and don’t worry about it. People aren’t going to know when you started college unless they’re looking at your CV or you explicitly tell them, and even then they have no idea what you went through. Could have been working in between years or taking time off for health, it’s not really their business.

I myself will be graduating at 24 unless I switch to a quicker program. It feels a bit awkward but only when I look at it through the lens of hateful people who neg all the time.

Far more people graduate outside of the expected range of 21-25 YO than you realise -

• anyone who worked right after highschool but didn’t like it,
• anyone sitting a second degree or a conversion degree,
• anyone who served in the army before enrolling.

…but you might not encounter them all that often.

(If you’re on a prestigious course you’re going to be with a very young cohort who came straight from high school to university, but throughout the countless other courses in the country there will be 25-50 year olds sitting down for their first lectures in the subject. Most of them will elect to study remotely, e.g online or lecture recordings, so you’re doubly less likely to encounter them)

University was not created to be an age-bound thing like school. We lose sight of that now that it’s been clipped on as a near-mandatory last stretch of the educational conveyer belt.

I even have a browser script that auto-adds all my subs back so I don’t lose all my subs. There’s some nuance to that though as if the script auto-adds too many subs too quickly, you’ll get flagged and auto-banned. So I have to set the script to only add one sub every 5000ms and then leave that tab alone while it adds all my subs. I only care about the subs at all because Lemmy doesn’t have all the really specific subs I find myself sometimes needing to post on for answers to specific shit.

I am very interested in this. Would you mind sharing it anywhere?

Good on you for exposing the weirdness of reddit

Best of times a phone hast lasted about 4 years

We get a ton of untrustworthy information all the time and we know there is a chance of it being wrong and we weigh the consequences vs the extra effort it will take to verify

I think we have an easier job determining right away if humans are lying about something, and humans generally own up to being unsure about things. On the other hand, AI seems to be designed with an intention to be infallible, as it doesn’t even give an estimate as to how sure it is that it’s information is correct.

If a human in an organisation lies/says incorrect things a lot, they get fired.

If im about to stake my career on a fact im not going to rely on chatGPT but if I need to see some popular UI frameworks then chatGPT is fine. If its wrong thats fine there is nothing riding on it I just move on and check the next one.

So it sounds like AI is only really useful for your line wider area of work, that being anything programming focused, and therefore you’re thinking of a very specific type of information to get fetched - templates to build off of. I hope you can see why it was bad to generalise in your initial response; someone working with historical or political facts, a structural engineer working on bridges, or a teacher, can’t rely on GPT to get them the info they work with.

Honestly if you think it’s a good feature I challenge you to make a few short youtube tutorials demonstrating how to use it’s helpful features. This will help to spread awareness, and helps convince people with evidence.

I have heard a lot of (what i think is) hot air from the microsoft head AI guy about how much it streamlines professional life and I would love if that was actually true, but I can’t help feeling i would already know about these wondrous features if that was in fact the case. Because people would be gushing about them.

We already have proof that this is a popular feature for users since its been integrated in every mobile phone for the past 10 years

That seems like a good argument. People went crazy over siri and such.

LLMs are by far the best way to retrieve information(that doesnt need to be correct).

I’m not sure when people ever need to retrieve information thet doesn’t need to be correct, in a professional context. But thanks for being honest i guess.

Sometimes people act like they’re helping but it means they just bring up your problem again and again and confuse you as to what you really want to do about it. This could absolutely be done on accident, in an eagerness to help, but i also see it done deliberatrly by a few, just to pester people

Men and women lie when they say they want you to express yourself more. Whether they intend to or not, they get angry or sad about you burdening them with knowledge of your own experiences. Many will atore away anything you confide with them, so they can use it against you further down the line.

I think you need to move out, as hard as that might be. Even if you need to put stuff like your educatiom on hold you should get away from them all for good

Norway is awesome. I really admire your country

Putting a tax on billionaires leaving is actually a brilliant idea…

• Consistent: they made that wealth, in your country, so by the same principles of income tax, VAT, or corporation tax, we know the government believes it deserves a cut. All that money they take wth them is money the government was intending to dip into slowly over the course of 10 years or so.
• Targets a Loophole: Billionaires are of course uniquely positioned to relocate on a whim - normal people and even many millionaires will not be able to do this, as they can’t change jobs on the fly, get someone else to sell their house for them, remotely buy a house in another country.
• Motivates them to be better: the taxation of billionaires is ultimately about increasing the complexity of the system until they’re left with no choice but to be useful. But first we have to weather the storm of them trying to bribe the government not to tax them, before we can get there.

See it used for “jam lids” (any jar lid actually, lol) or other packaging because those things can be complex to tell if you’re opening it correctly, so by saying “depress” it tells you to press but then simultaneously describes what happens as it is pressed (it goes down) so you know if you’re getting anywhere in the process. This is why it’s been observed more in technical documents, as rljkeimig notes.
