Wtf? Are they going to get an Amazon Prime subscription for everyone as well? If its that important to them that everyone have full access to an LLM then why not host one nationally that people can use

I’m a Millennial/GenZ cusper and I think its just the desire to go back to a simpler analogue lifestyle. I’ve also bought a few cassettes from concerts at times when I couldn’t carry around a full vinyl the rest of the night

The whole concept of sororities and fraternities is so weird to me

You can spout dangerous conspiracy theories but you can’t say the words “shit” or “fuck”

Can the US just break up already

islanders “begged” Kjær and his wife Susan Astani not to sell the land to Epstein

I don’t understand how you can legally own a populated island

So what’s the real story

About time

The US will do anything and everything except try proper gun control

I know Lemmy seems to very anti-AI (as am I) but we need to stop making the anti-AI talking point “AI is stupid”. It has immense limitations now because yes, it is being crammed into things it shouldn’t be, but we shouldn’t just be saying “its dumb” because that’s immediately written off by a sizable amount of the general population. For a lot of things, it is actually useful and it WILL be taking peoples jobs, like it or not (even if they’re worse at it). Truth be told, this should be a utopic situation for obvious reasons

I feel like I’m going crazy here because the same people on here who’d criticise the DARE anti-drug program as being completely un-nuanced to the point of causing the harm they’re trying to prevent are doing the same thing for AI and LLMs

My point is that if you’re trying to convince anyone, just saying its stupid isn’t going to turn anyone against AI because the minute it offers any genuine help (which it will!), they’ll write you off like any DARE pupil who tried drugs for the first time.

Countries need to start implementing UBI NOW

Copilot is shit

Yes and no. I find its terrible at solving more complex problems but its great at writing out tests for a function/view that covers every flow. My team went from having like 40% (shit) coverage to every PR having every case tested (inb4 they’re not good tests, they are good)

With that being said, fuck CEOs and fuck AI. At least you could (mostly) escape the blockchain hype

freedom

which involved state contracts with suppliers being signed at prices inflated by up to 30%.

I don’t think it needs to be said, but god damn this is awful when your country is fighting for its own survival. God damn psychopaths

Not saying you’re wrong but I do feel like there’s still so much of the universe to explore, even if the main arc is complete. I would love to learn more about Rapture

Maybe the Americans could focus on keeping all their guns out of our country instead

technically we don’t officially send weapons but the loopholes are so large that it’s not true at all

That is fair

I don’t actively use any social media with real names either but if you do anything online from applying to jobs to signing up for services like hydro, your name is probably out there

How is this not treason? Are you American?

I ask because even the most left leaning of you all keep making light of this shit and it’s actually driving me crazy. I have American coworkers making 51st state jokes and it’s actually making me hate all of you

I went to Vegas (from Canada) in November for a company convention sort of thing right after Trump got in and felt off about it then but like actual fuck I’d go now. My company is actually struggling to find somewhere to go next year since, while they’re a US based remote-first company, a LOT of their employees are outside of the United States.

Edit: It’s funny, I’ve noticed they’ve really seemed to prioritise hiring Canadian developers in the last few years. I’ve always wondered if it’s because they feel they can pay us less
