Wouldn’t be surprised if there was an exceptionally well funded US startup that makes a debut before TikTok is blocked if they don’t sell. TikTok has to weigh the possibility that they can’t compete if they don’t exist.

One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.

Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.

Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while it’s at it recreate the missing functions.

Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.

Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.

There’s definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.

Because after taking a quick look at that first or second page, I don’t even go back. I just head to another search engine 😅

By rewarding mysterious “quality content” indicators that SEOs know how to game with shit people absolutely do not perceive as quality.

Might be somewhat acceptable if a job was available while in prison to support these living expenses. That at least might improve confidence and start the rehabilitation process.

Oh wait, who am I kidding. Prison has nothing to do with rehabilitation.

IMO all forms of taking care of yourself are self care. You have to love yourself before you can offer anything to anybody else.

The effort starts an upward spiral of increasing rewards. You feel better about yourself, people treat you differently, you feel more confident, and the cycle repeats.

I thought it was so that if you build a following, and then decide to change instances, you keep the followers?

Perhaps I’ve missed the point too.

There was always a risky box of chocolates on grandma’s kitchen table.

Each bite was a gamble: might be a delicious milk chocolate with a peanut inside, or it might be a bitter chocolate with some medicine-like cherry filling.

Totally agree. The smtp protocol server to server interoperability made email all work smoothly across many federated hosts and I think ActivityPub is more or less designed with a similar strategy, except for defederations. I guess the equivalent would be blocking spam at your smtp gateway, lol.

It’s like running your own email server in the early 2000s. For large businesses it totally makes sense.

Hobbiests can do it to if they are interested.

Most people will land at a “shared” service and let someone else handle the admin tasks. I’m afraid that eventually there might only be “outlook.com, gmail.com, and yahoo.com” so to speak, because it’s just the easy way to go for most people and economies of scale make it more feasible for the operators who find ways to get paid.

That overly aggressive issue manager closing tickets because the ticket opener didnt reply fast enough

“Can’t replicate, closed.”

The guy was a the senior software dev at his first startup. Not sure if he’s written a line of code since then, but he’s at least spent some time in the trade

Possibly to run those strangely shaped outdoor billboard signs

My bike is made from an element that has been shaped by man into a more useful… shape.

When I was a teenager, the people who are my age now seemed really old and because of that there was no attraction.

Now when I see a grey hair, or a new wrinkle on my partner it’s the hottest thing. We connect with each other about real life, she knows me well and helps me center myself.

I too hope that feeling continues to 60 years old and beyond, and I have a growing suspicion that it will so long as we both continue to work on staying healthy and attractive.

What if you need to remember how to procreate? I hear there are a number of informative videos about how to out there.

It takes time. Lemmy is still pretty niche and reddit just has a decade+ of accumulated lurkers.

The important part is that the best people from Reddit are here now.

(⁠ヘ⁠･⁠_⁠･⁠)⁠ヘ⁠┳⁠━⁠┳

It’s the volume of junkmail that makes the economy of scale work such that is cheap enough to… send junkmail

You could cross post to Lemmy and then put a link in the Reddit thread that says something like: “for the real conversation, the way Reddit used to be, come to Lemmy”

That might get Reddit accounts banned though 😅
