Yes it is.

Protestors and counter protestors both have a right to express their views

No. For a just, tolerant, and civilised society to exist, intolerance can’t be tolerated..

They are still making games based on 15 year old standards

If only. Daggerfall was great for its time, Morrowind was and still remains a classic masterpiece.

The enshittification started with Oblivion, and only got worse from there.

Photocopy of a photocopy is my go-to metaphor for model collapse.

That doesn’t prevent power hungry mods from modding hundreds of communities, or mods or admins from enshittifying the most popular communities (or whole instances) with absurd rules or misinformation bots, or any other of the abuses that were rampant on reddit and even more rampant here… sure, the users can migrate to some other community or instance, but most won’t (and migrating instances is significantly more work than simply unsubscribing from one subreddit and subscribing to another).

Looked like the least worst alternative to reddit (which was the least worst replacement for what the internet used to be before reddit, and facebook, and the like, killed it).

Turns out it’s mostly reddit reposts (often by bots, which is ironic since the originals were also reddit reposts posted by bots) and US politics garbage, and even more susceptible than Reddit to power hungry mods and echo chambers.

I guess I’m just addicted to doomscrolling. Which is almost as depressing as the fact that this inane crumb of utterly useless and purposeless garbage is by far the least worst furuncle in the rotting bot infested corpse of the internet.

No. The fediverse is just more of the same mindless gargling and regurgitation of mainstream media excrement that the internet has become, but federated.

It lacks the creativity, originality, experimentation, wonder, sheer life of the old internet.

It’s just as dead, enshittified, and riddled with misinformation bots as everything else.

War. War never changes.

He very obviously did not remember the words and was just naming things he could literally see at the time.

Exactly.

if you ask it again, it again feeds you the wrong information

Well, it’s a LLM, they can’t learn anything without rebuilding the whole model from scratch, which I wouldn’t exactly call learning anyway… all they “know” is what word is most likely to follow a certain sequence of words according to their model.
Any other facts or information are completely inconsequential for their operation and results.

Being against LLMs being sold as AI (or as useful for anything practical) is not being against AI.

LLMs have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with AI, other than being sold as if they did.

*Some exceptions might apply.

gun accidentally went off

Yeah, of course. The gun accidentally leapt out of its holster and into its owner’s hand, accidentally released the safety, accidentally pointed itself at the victim’s face, and accidentally went off.

Completely unavoidable accident, really.

Weird how these extremely common completely unavoidable accidents tend to overwhelmingly concentrate themselves on one particular country in the whole wide world, though. Must be some kind of accidental statistical fluke.

Aside from racism.

No such thing. It’s racism all the way down, no matter what colour they try to paint it.

Firefox with uBlock Origin and NoScript.

I don’t like ads, or websites using JavaScript for anything I don’t approve of, or unnecessarily.

Personally I’m more of a leg guy 🤷‍♂️.

And I don’t particularly like overly large breasts, which lots of people seem to enjoy. A handful is fine, thank you very much.

I just ask them to please do anything they can to fix whatever my hair is doing, inasmuch as possible, and to remove as much volume as they can without it getting out of control (too long, and it’s a chaotic uncontrollable mess; too short and it’s also a chaotic uncontrollable mess; these two states sometimes overlap… but I don’t want to shave the whole damn thing).

It usually works for a week or two until it starts getting long enough to start getting completely out of control again.

Japan isn’t big on change.
