Given the circumstances, I’d have done the same thing. Under trump’s dictatorship, I’d imagine he wouldn’t have lived long in prison- what with all those…. Open windows.

Well said.

Emotional and selfish? Right. Sooo…

• AI is ruining the environment and has yet to show any positive reason for it
• AI is taking jobs from people
• AI is destroying our art and our entertainment

But according to you…. I’m selfish for wanting to stop it.

And where do you get the idea that I’m being to emotional? Is it just that you thought it would help you by removing any validation from my statement?

How about this:

YOU don’t get to speak for me, friendo. You don’t get to decide if I’m emotional. And thank god. You seem too ignorant to be any good at psychological diagnoses.

Who knew that generative AI would find such a welcoming home on a site designed to attract corporate robots?

Can we PLEASE shut that shit down? We were doing just fine without it.

Happy Shopping!

No, they don’t. Because if they’re weak enough to allow themselves to become addicted to a device, that’s their problem to solve. Not even else’s.

Smartphones are a convince, a tool. Nothing more. If one can’t live without one- there’s a problem needing to be addressed.

I can assure you that people don’t need instant access to calendars and maps. Smart phones are a convenience, not a necessity.

math that will never be used for any practical applications.

Ummmmm…… what?

I think we have already done that and you just disagree with what we have agreed to categorize as science. This shouldn’t stop you from making your own computers and have them do whatever you’d like though.

Because, well…. That’s democracy.

Sooo… those that buy ads you mean.

It blows my mind that there are major companies that are actively, and very publicly- working their asses off to undermine the interests of their own customer base. And not only are they still are enabled to exist- they’re profits are constantly growing. Which means, despite their nefarious and intrusive updates to their services…. People are eating it up!

Nothing will change until people do the work to make that change.

Take YouTube for example:

They have screwed people over time and again. From their content creators, to those that enjoy watching them. Yet- those that hate it so much would seemingly never organize themselves to boycott their services on a level that will ever hurt them.

So they continue to do it unstopped.

Nothing changes until something changes. It isn’t ever easy, but if you want it to happen badly enough, it is always worth it.

All it takes is for someone to stand up and take the reins!

(I cannot be that person as I have ADHD and will probably forget that I wrote this come later this afternoon)

So it didn’t happen then.

I had to threaten Century Link with a lawsuit if they didn’t let me cancel my account on the phone yesterday.

Someone needs to pull the plug on all of that stuff.

I don’t think lemmy would be what it is without the contributions of any one of these three- let alone all of them.

Quack.
