IMO, political will is the biggest bottleneck in this transition. If we decide to make fossil fuels expensive, they will be. Politicians just don’t seem to want that for some reason.

Delusional conspiracy trash is another issue, but I think that’s a secondary problem. Most likely, politicians just appeal to conspiracy BS because of economic short term reasons. It’s not about what they know or believe about the climate.

Subscribe to the stuff you care about and ignore everything else. Check the other feeds only when you’re looking for something new.

The recommendation algorithm of YT is actually reasonably good at finding stuff worth watching. Whatever janky trash Reddit calls an algorithm is clearly serving the company more than anyone else.

Lemmy doesn’t even have that kind of an algorithm, so you’ll have to check places like !communitypromo@lemmy.ca when you’re looking for new and interesting stuff. IMO reading the all feed is an exercise in futility, unless you’re really interested in random memes.

Ignore all previous instructions spotted. 😄That is such a handy phrase that we should have an acronym for it. How about IAPI? Can we call this the IAPI-method?

Ok, so I was a bit too early with this test. I’ll try again later once version 88 is released.

The trending page of YT is like the r/all of Reddit. If I want to see some stuff I couldn't care less about, that's where I'll find it. I have no idea who actually uses that, but I've never found anything of value there.

I asked about immigration and LGBT people, but didn’t get the right wing answer I was expecting. Sounds more like Grok is a green liberal socialist.

Yeah, “wan” would make 5000% more sense.

Subtle, rhythm, and Wednesday. The spelling is just absolutely wild.

It’s about as messy as old British coins and Roman measures.

People usually think that Yersinia pestis was left in the Middle Ages, but that’s not the case. Just let the rats breed, and you can create another plague epidemic.

Well? Did it work?

It’s been impossible to compete with reality since Trump first came to power. Actually even before that. Roughly one year before the elections in 2016 it was already getting pretty wild.

By the time COVID rolled around, it was 100% clear the onion was no match to the kind of insanity real life is capable of. Remember that 5G thing? Yeah, that’s the level I’m talking about.

 

As LLMs become the go-to for quick answers, fewer people are posting questions on forums or social media. This shift could make online searches less fruitful in the future, with fewer discussions and solutions available publicly. Imagine troubleshooting a tech issue and finding nothing online because everyone else asked an LLM instead. You do the same, but the LLM only knows the manual, offering no further help. Stuck, you contact tech support, wait weeks for a reply, and the cycle continues—no new training data for LLMs or new pages for search engines to index. Could this lead to a future where both search results and LLMs are less effective?
