Bothers me that much of this data has been collected without explaining what its intended purpose is. All those captchas that want you to pick out cars or bikes etc, Pokemon game that wants you to scan locations for free items… It simply never occurred to me that these were actually just ways to train AI surreptitiously
That is certainly a possible solution. However I also think a lot of folks simply don’t have the time to commit in addition to their regular jobs and responsibilities. Guess that’s how we wound up with so wealthy people in politics… they got all that free time ⏰ (and they think they know what’s best for everyone else too, perhaps? 🙃)
Seriously, how far does that excuse get anyone? “Well everyone didn’t vote for him so whatever” and he says “Yeah they did 🥴” and proceeds to do whatever tf he wants anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You should seriously consider running for office. You might have the energy and wherewithal to reshape the liberal party into something halfway worthwhile 🤌
“someone told me there’s a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair”
Damn is that a great little tune, such a warm sound too
But they’ll have stragglers just the same as any major social media site. Even though many here have standards they won’t easily abandon, there are scores of people that won’t even know if/when AI started being used on the site or would care enough to leave if they did.
Plus every time we leave a platform we need to find or build a new one. The time it takes to get others to migrate and develop into a worthwhile community is hard to predict and it may not even work out. It sucks social media is such shit anymore, but it seems inevitable that it will remain that way given the landscape of the Internet at this point.
I say this as someone who’s drifted from Fark to Digg to Reddit to Lemmy over the past 20-25 years 🎈 (zero loyalty as well)
Have you tried brewing your own at home? I’ve gotten into making fresh cups using a single-cup Clever Dripper setup and grind the beans as needed. Soooooo much better than DD/Starbucks and very easy to make. It does take time though (approx 6-7 mins to make a cup start to finish) and a bit of $ to get started (maybe about $100 for dripper, kettle, filters, and beans), but i can’t imagine how much money i would have wasted on so-so (or worse) coffee bought at DD/Starbucks/etc everyday.
It’s either that or Trump, which is basically just a full swan-dive into fascism. Is there another viable path?
Ight then! So where are you from, tex? Tell us about the elevated levels of freedom and democracy you enjoy! Tell us about the dictators leaders you enjoy most! You definitely seem to break the mold of the stuffy, low/no-information conservative. What’s your secret?
Sure bish, whatever you say lol
Thank God–fascism isn’t nearly as bad as i was warned 😅
Trump shouldn’t be allowed to run after what he did on 1/6
Low blood pressure gang unite 🤜
… and you don’t wanna 🤮
Still remember my login id! Lol
I can’t believe I’ve done this
More importantly–why not?
A man of culture, i see
Trump 2024, lol
(Edit: just to clarify–if you want all that bullshit, Trump is your man 🙌)
(Edit 2: /s would apparently have been the appropriate indicator of my lack of seriousness. TIL!)
Have you ever American though?
Guess i was asleep that day 😬
