wow, old.lemmy.world is perfection.

Very cool!

To answer your question about quality: it matters because it's not real. The act of producing something of quality is what makes us better people. It ties into motivation to be better. Computers automating repetition doesn't hinder that (as much, it does affect learning curves). The notion that computers be used for an output that would normally require creativity is just throwing away the essense of creation, the end product is not the only thing that benefits us. There's no objective to why it was created, an AI writing something that evokes emotion is a party trick. All it really does is promote consumption and demoralize innovation, and ironically it hides behind innovation as the end-goal of the project. It's just dead. One of the most beautiful things within creating something of value is the very process of creating it, having the passion and desire to do so, and the will to bring it into existence. AI is a cursed attempt at trying to replicate this process, and by lifting that kind of burden from a human inhuman.

bro wasn't listening to anything and didn't know what to say

Oddly enough, since I'm so used to being open when I'm ~anonynous on the internet, when I need a confidence push to be open with someone in person I just pretend I'm on the internet and they're a stranger, and bum bam wam suddenly I don't give a shit what they think of me & I can just speak comfortably

Ehhhhhhhh yeah they can stay over there. Totally free to join us here though, separately, on another account. They are the dark side, with the cookies and all. We have beans. Better nutrition.

Wtf. What possible good thing do they expect to see from meta?

Friends would get mad at me for how much I'd lie in interviews. Now, they see why I did. Interview questions like "why u wanna work here" or "where u see yourself in the next x years" dumbass shut up it's a warehouse you pay me to pick things up and put them down. Now I work in places that pay more because I specialized in some areas but the idea is the same. Interviewers don't even care if you do your job, they just care that everything is running smooth and their boss is happy by whatever metric they use to judge "smooth". Learning that distinction saved me a lot of headache.

I'm already working on just running my own instance lol. But no users, just me. That way I can federate/defederate with whoever I want and call it a day.

if u liked RiF, Connect to Lemmy is a p good app. After messing w the settings browsing lemmy feels so much cleaner.

it isn't about you, it's a security risk and a massive vulnerability leaving servers open to data collection for data they shouldn't be collecting.

aw geez

edit:

America: We need to reduce cost of education!

Government: Hey let's put our taxes towards cheaper education!

America: no.

America, can you explain?

because they think it's just some dude who profitted off of reddit's goodwill without giving anything back, and now poor ol' reddit just wants to make a couple bucks to pay the bills.
