Not defending this, but it’s annoying because Google and all search engines results are being poisoned by AI written slop. It seems like LLMs may provide a better search experience, but it’s also the thing ruining the search experience.

I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but I imagine if AI slop is ruining search, it will also start to ruin itself when the current slop is used to train future LLMs. Basically I think AI will short circuit itself long term.

Now, will it short circuit itself enough for Microsoft to stop shoving it down our throats, probably not.

Luckily we’ve invited 10 new gadgets for you to make sure we meet our E-waste goals

Well obvious umbrella. It’s bad luck to open you in the house, and we don’t keep the fax machines outside.

I know they both have semi autonomous systems that don’t rely on lidar. The navigate on autopilot presentation comma gave years ago seemed very Tesla. Comma’s self driving capabilities seem to lag a couple years behind Tesla.

I like George Hotz and I know the Lemmy community prefers open source tech, so I wanted to bring some awareness to an alternative you can add to your current car. But I know very little about self driving tech. Maybe I’m wrong in calling them similar.

Everyone here should check out comma.ai’s open pilot. It is similar to Teslas self driving system, but it’s open source. Perfect Elon replacement. And since they tap into the sensors on your existing car, I imagine they could leverage lidar if more cars had those sensors.

They sell hardware that is designed to run open pilot. Last I checked it was $1k, which feels pretty reasonable compared to what Elon is charging.

To be fair, Elon probably wasn’t taking ketamine back when he made that decision. He made that decision all by himself :)

I feel like I woke up in the stupidest timeline where climate change is about to kill us, we decide stupidly to 10x our power needs by shoving LLMs down everyone’s throats, and the only solution to stay private is to 10x our personal LLM usage by generating tons of noise about us just to stay private. So now we’re 100x ing everyone’s power usage and we’re going to die even sooner.

I think your idea is interesting – I was also thinking that same thing awhile back – but how tf did we get here.

I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the lawsuits against them, but I think they already got hit by a judge for malicious compliance. From what I remember the judge came down pretty hard on them for that malicious compliance. I feel like they are just going to look at this and be like “obviously you are missing the point, so we are going to have to make the regulations even stricter”.

It’s crazy how engaging and well done Veritasium videos are and they’re just free to watch on YouTube.

There are so many people here that hate cloud based services. And the same people also hate JavaScript. Like you realize if your app was just static JavaScript files, you could literally just download the entire site to your computer and run it? Why is JavaScript the enemy?

JavaScript isn’t the enemy. The enshitification of technology is the enemy.

Just out of curiosity what percentage of people here are using Voyager as their Lemmy client?

But where do you drop into? The condition doctor? The car mechanic?

Omg I love that guy. Haven’t bought his second book yet, but I loved his first one. We need more illustrated books for adults. His art style is so cool.

I’m working on a Lemmy client and I occasionally browse main stream social media to check the robustness of my app vs theirs. But I find myself enjoying mainstream less and less as I settle more into Lemmy.

I’m imaging you subscribe to the “block us politics” list, as an example. That list gets updated with new terms, communities, etc. you can stack multiple lists you want to block. For example, in addition to US politics, you also subscribe to the AI block list. These lists remain completely separate from your custom filters.

I had an idea recently. Basically a blocklist you can subscribe to for Lemmy. It’s annoying that every person needs to go through the process of tuning their filters to block the same types of content. Sort of like an RSS feed but for filters, so the filters can continue to update and improve after you subscribe to them. I don’t really use BlueSky, but this based on my rough understanding of how they have blocklists.

Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.

• You shall have no other gods before me: Trump
• You shall not make idols: Trump literally made a goat with his face on it
• You shall not murder: Palestinians
• You shall not commit adultery: Hegseth amongst others
• You shall not steal: the land from the Palestinians
• You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor: MAGA creating lies like “they’re eating the cats and dogs” to justify their racism

Luckily there’s never been a war that has involved the entire would before. What would you even call something like that?

As if SoundCloud’s “no AI” tag will actually stop anyone from scraping and training on SoundCloud music.

But can you ever really know you want something in the future? I think it’s more of a prediction. I predict tomorrow me will want tea
