The stock market averages are only true if you look at it for a really long time, like 30-40 years. In 10 years, the value can definitely go down a lot, but if you view it for the long-term, it will still be an improvement.

I understand that looking at it like that is unnerving though.

It’s weird that this is public record

What the fuck? That’s so absurd it’s almost funny

Depends on the programming language

POV: Auto correct turned itself off

That’s insanely dumb

That looks so tasty

I love how well the PolyMC -> PrismLauncher transition went. It’s great that the asshole owning it didn’t just spew transphobic hate, but also removed the contribution rights to all other people, leading them to immediately flock to an alternative.

That’s just ridiculous, you can also just play poker without any money for fun

Would be interesting though

This is a statement from an AMA by the creator:

Satire and parody are the only legitimate uses of AI

…text to speech, dictation apps, translation systems, enemies in video games, chess bots, cancer discovery, image, video and file compression, cluster algorithms, CGI, world generation, etc.?!

That statement is just ridiculous

if the majority of content ends up being AI generated

yeah…

The majority of the internet is porn. Literally. That doesn’t mean that every information you look up is porn. Just because there exist much of it doesn’t mean wikipedia and other credible sites will suddenly just disappear.
And honestly, while AI generated articles are absolute garbage, it’s not like LLMs you can chat with are completely useless.

by opening videos you don’t like and give them a thumbs down

You don’t need to do this. There literally is a feature for exactly this: Click on the three dots and on “Don’t recommend”. If you do this, content like that won’t be recommended to you anymore.

That song in particular is a song I’ve heard of before, it was one of the first AI generated songs I found (and was sent around a bit because it was an early example of what ridiculous stuff one can do with AI).
You can also hear it to be honest, if you listen closely to the vocals. (Luckily you can still spot AI songs that way, I wonder how long that’ll work.)

Also I looked up obscurest vinyl, and apparently all their songs are AI generated.

You can just click on the three dots and on “Do not recommend” or Don’t recommend from this channel, then it will stop.

Howie Hawkins was nice though (doesn’t mean I would have voted for him)

That’s literally the train I use everything I get to uni (and back).

Well, return it. While being refurbished, it doesn’t necessarily need to be in perfect shape, it still needs to work as it would when you buy it originally.

The Supreme Court is upholding the rule of law. If Musk refuses to take action on the massive propaganda and disinformation campaigns that are rampant on his platform and lead to a fascist (like a literal fascist who praised the military dictatorship and openly said it’s only mistake was not to torture enough) getting elected, banning it shows that the democracy is still defensive and able to protect itself.

We can’t let tech monopolies just ignore any democratic rule and do whatever they want.
