Tech companies: Sounds like someone else’s problem LOL

Search is dead. “Content” is dead.

AI is being seen as the portal through which we will access information in future. If so, control of that portal is worth trillions.

It’s a land grab.

I know.

My point is good luck explaining that to all the technologists, executives and politicians who need to understand it but don’t.

I imagine insurance execs will be keen to figure out how they can get it to apply this behaviour to everyone.

And everyone else, for that matter.

It’s utter rubbish. Just look at how cats react to unfamiliar humans compared to unfamiliar cats. They know the difference.

No it wasn’t. And we don’t need to imitate every aspect of Reddit here.

Yeah I only learned a couple of years ago that cats hate having their water anywhere near food. Moving bowls into different rooms made a huge difference to their water consumption.

Everything is owned by billionaires. The health care system is owned by billionaires. Are you saying people should refuse health care that improves their lives for that reason?

Fix the system. Don’t shit on people trying to survive it.

Nah. I once used AI to help refine a comment and make a meaningful contribution to a (non-AI) discussion. It was a valid use of a tool. I was honest and up front about it. But that didn’t matter. I got completely dogpiled by the entire community. They went as far as finding me and sending abusive messages on other platforms. Not one person even thought to address the actual point I was making on the OP.

So yeah. That’s Lemmy on AI. Frankly, I’ve lost so much respect for the community here based on its feral mindset that even Reddit is starting to look appealing again.

As for calling me a fanboy, part of my job involves AI governance. It’s my job to understand the limitations and the risks posed by the tech. To ensure it’s used legally and ethically. And to reign in over-enthusiastic execs. For the most part, I end up advocating for my company to not adopt AI tools.

So you really couldn’t be further from the truth.

Also…

ad hominem

the only downvotes I get are from ai fanboys who don’t like hearing their favorite chatbot is a grift led by billionaires

LOL. Good one.

There’s no room for rational discussion about AI on Lemmy. I learnt that one a while ago.

And I never said I liked it. That’s just an assumption you’ve made, based on nothing.

There’s that screeching sound again.

Good lord. Someone on an anti-AI forum indicating a vague understanding of the issue rather than just screeching incoherently?

Never thought I’d see it.

I liked MATE when I last used it. I believe that’s based on GNOME 2.

Agreed. I’ve recently switch from Win10 to Gnome 3 briefly (LOL) then to KDE.

Some stronger selling points would be:

• The KDE experience is exactly like Windows. Maybe more so.
• It works out of the box with my hardware better than Windows did.
• It offers more UI customisation, in a pretty straightforward, unintrusive and (mostly) intuitive way.
• It’s more consistent and coherent than Windows, especially when it comes to ‘control panel’ stuff.
• Way less crapware, such as graphics drivers that come with massively bloated management apps, or a thousand different software updaters running at once.

I have four cats and this is disturbingly accurate.

Gin trap.

OP might be talking about the user base, not the owners.

Call it “eX-Twitter”.

The HR profession’s reputation as pond scum remains intact.
