This is essential. Speaking from experience as a guy with bad mental problems who can’t do relationships. Work on that, kids!

My cat eats his own hair. It’s so gross.

Also he learned to open doors. I have handles instead of knobs and he reaches up and paws at it until the door swings open. It’s adorable but I can’t keep him out of anywhere now.

I put up a toddler gate to keep him out of my bedroom but he leaps over it like a racehorse. So I had to buy a second one. He’s desperate to explore this place that he’s already explored countless times.

Oh I hate those chat bots which just display a list of articles matching keywords in your question.

This is exactly the kind of thing that LLMs are good for. I also use them to get quick and concise answers about programming frameworks, instead of trying to triangulate the answer from various anecdotes on stackoverflow, or reading two hours of documentation.

But I figured this kind of thing doesn’t count as “slop.” OP was talking about the incoherent trash hallucinations, so I left that one out.

I got high and put in prompts to see what insane videos it would make. That was fun. I even made some YouTube videos from it. I also saw some cool & spooky short videos that are basically “liminal” since it’s such an inhuman construction.

But generally, no. It’s making the internet worse. And as a customer I definitely never want to deal with an AI instead of a human.

Very nice, thank you.

Is the conference being livestreamed anywhere?

I’ll learn to cook the books!

I wonder, if I specialize in fediverse development, would that help me get a job? Is there work in the fediverse?

Get out while you still can. It’s too late for me.

I prefer pay walls if I can buy a single article. I hate how everything is a subscription now.

All my jobs have been paycheck-to-paycheck until about 3 years ago. My last job allowed me to save up $24k, but then I lost my job. Now I’m down to $7k and getting worried.

This clearly only applies to situations where the kids have more money than the parents. Generally, family helps out when they can. If you can’t help, then don’t. Obviously you shouldn’t help your parents financially if they’re more wealthy than you.

I’ve never heard this before, and it sounds gross and stupid. If you have the power to help your family then do it. Ignore the psycho who lets his parents wallow in poverty.

Although personally I’m more broke than my parents so it’s not an option.

I can’t put my finger on it. I keep trying to watch it, but it always loses my interest. The plots sound amazing but there’s something in the style that pushes me away.

I’m pretty sure that’s just a genre of video you can find on any video site.

I think most of us have a good idea of the benefits and drawbacks of Linux/Windows/Apple.

I have a Windows machine for media production, because Linux doesn’t support all the software I need for media production. I use Linux for absolutely everything else, because it’s better for literally everything else. In truth, a MacBook Pro would be better for media production but they’re too expensive.

I’m not sure there is a reason. The instinct to continue existing is so fundamental that it doesn’t need any underlying reason, I think. We fear the end of our existence. So if we are remembered after we die, then we still exist in some way.
