They are so, SO desperate for people to resub. PLEASE don't resub your Nitro everyone. Props if you aren't already subbed, props if you were subbed and you unsub right now. NOTHING changes unless a company FEARS for their bottom line. Feel free to use Discord still, but don't give them a penny. 💖
We have this new words, ML isn't the problem, the correct term are usually LLMs and Computer Vision.
And even then, both of those are really useful in certain situations, the problem is the companies that are destroying the world to profit from dumb people.
Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010
My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.
They would not have stepped in on this had the public outcry been so loud, so please don't give them any credit.

AI entrepeneurs in a nutshell
I've been running CachyOS on my laptop for a while, and I get the funniest bugs ever.
My keyboard randomly stops working when I have Davinci Resolve open, but only if it is focused, or if I'm on discord. Everything else is working normally.
I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!
It's kinda funny that it took 5 iterations for people to realize DLSS/FSR is GenAI
Been having some fun at university lately.
It's even funnier when there were streamers like DarkviperAU who pretty much had to stop playing the game mid sponsored stream just to not show more bugs/bad gameplay.
I would believe them, if the game didn't launch is such a bad state.
Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.
This is the real solution (or any other distro)
I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.
This is blackout poetry to me
I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
3 panel comic Panel 1: A Pink Guy has spray painted the words “All billionaires are scum” on a blue wall. Pleased with his work, he looks at the reader and gives a thumbs up. Panel 2: An Orange Guy comes into shot and snatches the can of spray paint out of the Pink Guy’s hand. He looks angry and yells “Hey!” Panel 3: The Orange Guy has changed the message so it now reads “All billionaires are scumbag pedophiles. Both the Pink Guy and the Orange Guy give the reader a thumbs up.
get it right

Mastodon vs Twitter.
If you’re wondering why is it like this, the answer is bots.
AI companies not only have the means of generating comments, they also have the best web crawlers known to mankind.
Their business model is astroturfing. Most of the people praising AI online do not even exist.
Hi everyone please do not pay $400 for a tiny TV that "emulates the CRT experience"

The latest Doomsday trailer made me realise that I have zero motivation to see it. And I can't even understand if that's meant to be good or bad.
discord took down their ai questionnaire
this means:
1) they saw how everyone hated it and how negatively all of their users feel about ai
and
2) they're gonna fucking implement shit no one wants anyway
I feel like a lot of these problems will go away once people realize that the problem they have is not about AI itself, but with capitalism.
The Room is still one of the best puzzle experiences I've ever had.
The search was already pretty much fucked up, it will come to the point where it is just useless.
Which, I guess, is their objective?
wait what?
Discord wants to know how you feel about AI.
Go tell them: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
I cannot stress this enough: this is not possible
in a literal technological sense: you cannot train an AI and expect even comprehensible results with under ~1 million pieces of data, nobody can supply all that with the variance needed. You can only achieve it through wanton scraping
I'll give you a better option instead, host Jellyfin on a pc. You can have all those songs on a server that you can access anywhere with a VPN, or, if you're lazy, use Tailscale. It also doubles down as a streaming service alternative if you have shows and movies saved locally.
As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.
