The people who were used to the oral tradition were right. Memorising things is good for your memory. No, I don’t think people will stop thinking altogether (please don’t be reductive like this lmao), just as people didn’t stop remembering things. But people did get worse at remembering things. Just as people might get worse at applying critical thinking if they continually offload those processes to AI. We know that using tools makes us worse at whatever the tool automates, because without practice you become worse at things. This just hasn’t really been a problem before as the tools generally make those things obselete.

You don’t think it’s possible that offloading thought to AI could make you worse at thinking? Has been the case with technology in the past, such as calculators making us worse at math (in our heads or on paper), but this time the thing you’re losing practice in is… thought. This technology is different because it’s aiming to automate thought itself.

What do the capitalists expect to happen once they automate all the physical jobs and all the desk jobs? Do they just expect us all to die?

They lobby extensively against UBI-type initiatives and god-forbid any actual communist/socialist change be suggested.

Do they want us to die?

My first laptop was an Ubuntu machine with no battery when I was 4. I had no idea what Linux was, I just played the games my uncle had pre-loaded onto it.

It does, it’s completely anonymised tho, and they pull in results from Yahoo and other sources (even Yandex). So while they do use the Bing API their results can be pretty vastly different from Bing’s.

Lots of other search engine options.

Kagi seems good.

I’m currently using duckduckgo and it’s roughly as good as google search at this point. I remember it being considered a joke when it first launched.

God forbid, bing is also an option.

Forgive my ignorance, but what did he do?

Was trying to get a friend to switch to jellyfin the other day and it turns out he’s got a weird Hisense projector that uses VIDAA OS, which does not have a jellyfin app, but DOES have a Plex app. I imagine setups like this are probably limiting Jellyfin’s adoption. VIDAA is actually less niche than I thought as well, heaps of cheap-ish TVs and projectors are running it.

I agree it’s not a justification. I just think it’s worth pointing out the hypocrisy when Elon has been platforming Chaya Raichik, who does the exact same thing (to private citizens who have done nothing wrong, mind you).

The right has been doing this for like a decade now.

Spoiler alert: Biden isn’t left wing

History in the making. This is what open source is all about.

Not Australia 😁😁😁 we use preferential voting and we still fucking suck on environmental issues 😁😁😁

there he is. Vinny.

I don’t think they would do that unless Lemmy continues to grow to a point where it challenges Reddit. Then it becomes a technical issue. I don’t think they can do that. It was one thing for threads to do it, being designed with that in mind from day 1, but it’s completely different for Reddit to do it. There are so many features that just wouldn’t make the jump, and so much content that would need to be reworked.

If they were going to do it, it would most likely be a clean break where you just can’t access old Reddit content on Lemmy, but all their new stuff would be accessible.

I also just don’t see them giving away their content like that after cracking down on the API how they did.

That version doesn’t exist is what I’m saying. The manufacturers have to put in significant work to get it to that point. And along the way they have to choose to make it similar to pixel/what people expect “stock” android to look like, instead of putting their own flair on it. My point is that it takes just as much work to make an android skin that feels “stock” as to make one that doesn’t. You can’t dismiss their version of Android as being “stock” because that doesn’t exist.

Stock android doesn’t really exist. It barely works and is missing essential features like working Bluetooth audio. It’s intended as a starting point for companies to build their own experience on top of, if any company released a phone running anywhere near stock android they would be laughed out of existence. Linus Tech tips did a pretty good overview of what stock android is a few days ago https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-hlRB2izres

Hell yeah bro same. I’ve been amazed at how much better Linux is in just about every way, except for native software availability, but it’ll get there. I feel like Microsoft is approaching the tipping point for shit people will put up with, and desktop Linux is so good now that non-technical people can move over to it.

“malding” 💀

The short answer is that they don’t believe any of the things OP said, or they can overlook them because they believe worse things about Biden/the democrats.
