Okay buddy. You’re also in the same pot, there is no escape.

I would love to have a real rational discussion with you, but you’re incapable of challenging your own preconcieved notions.

I am fully aware of the fire, we’re all locked in to the pot, you’re deciding to sink in and be steadily cooked by the water rather than try to catch a raft and escape.

That’s fine, believe you’re safer for it if you want, what do you think the correct course of action is?

Continue with liberal norms and believe you’re doing ‘good’ because you avoid AI?

The pot has been boiling on a higher and higher flame for years, and will continue to boil - LLM cultism just shirks responsibility and accountability, which already doesn’t come to fruition anyway.

I hate AI cultists and Peter Thiel more than I could ever hate you. I wonder if I hate them more than you do.

You are foolish, myopic and stuck on the wrong point about AI in the first place.

The problem with LLM bs is not that it’s not as proficient as a human, that can be remedied with time.

The problem is that it’s essentially evil demon tech being used to fuck us all over

You can hate me for using the demon tech, but do explain the logical reasoning behind your answer? It can be emotional reasoning though, no worries.

To me it is purely like the best search engine you could ever encounter (perplexity specifically) and the pro version is a benefit for my banking choice so I slowly got sucked in to using a paid version for “free”…

I would have been a luddite back in the day because I know exactly what it really means, and I stand with all workers.

I am not a crazy AI nut, I’d rather crack one. I specialised in AI at uni until 2021 and then my moral OCD kept me from even touching AI since. Until I started using it purely as a replacement for a google search, unless I knew what I was looking for already and forgot identifying info.

Would you rather spend hours searching about Linux issues and trying to decipher which package manager for which OS uses which commands has which packages to translate an applicable form of help to your installed system…

Or would you rather type a question explaining what you want as you would to a human?

~~I used to be googlese but then they destroyed it, I’m a qwant user now because I champion european tech and eventual real sovereignty from the united states of america. ~~

I know which exhausts me far less and allows me to focus on actual implementation and best practices using the limited time available to me on this earth but you do you.

I’m sorry but this is simply incorrect.

What you are saying is true of pure vibe coding, but you get an insane net gain from using LLMs for sanity checks and as a general ‘bootstrap’ for a project.

Yes it will make mistakes, but if you can actually program well so as to understand when it is incorrect, it is incredibly helpful as a tool.

Assets are more valuable than money is now, consider what can maintain fundamental value regardless of the economy

I agree except for the fact that it’s unavoidable

It’s horrific, but its inescapable, the problem is not going away and while you’re refusing to use LLMs to accelerate your progress, the opposition isn’t

Don’t get me wrong, anyone who blindly believes sycophantic LLM garbage is a fool.

Its taken 4 years to overcome my llm moral ocd - and its only because I need to start working, in a world where every company forces AI down your throat, there are many who simply have no choice if they want to compete

Also I’m kinda glad I can spend more of my useful energy working towards my goals rather than battling the exact minutiae without any sort of guide

They need to be forced by EU or other to allow open-source drivers and such because they currently are rejecting complete open-source developments due to nonsense about ‘revealing inner workings’ or some other bs.

When they are standard to the degree they are, they need to be forced to play nice.

What type of regulations are we talking, or at least which country’s?

Well fair but I meant in the sense of, you either co-opt the Democrat party, or make a new one.

There isn’t an in-between, and the new one might lose at first, but that’s the case with every new party in every country.

Showing the other parties your politics draw votes will pull their politics towards yours.

Not to mention that if you don’t immediately give up after on election cycle, but continue to do politics outside of the season and into next, you will carve out a larger and larger portion of the base.

American Exceptionalism - ‘a third party never works’ is nonsense.

Trying to figure something else out means you will do nothing except entryism and be co-opted into the Democratic Party for your aesthetics.

No I’m just acknowledging that you’re coming off as a troll.

I’ve discussed this with the necessary nuance plenty, I just get annoyed with this tribalism that ‘Lemmy.world’ users seem so insistent on.

Because it comes across as blatantly disingenuous, like an intentional division tactic to stifle discussion. (See: calling everyone who brings nuance to the discussion a ‘tankie’)

Right? They keep acting like the DNC couldn’t have done anything better.

Right?

It’s the party that lost the election, by their choices… Blaming voters is pathetic.

These two trolls are wasting everyone’s time, lemmy.world seems to be infested with them.

And I notice a trend with Lemmy.world users…

Vile liberal troll farm.

Wasn’t the one getting popular the other year ‘GRSM’, 'Gender, Romantic and Sexual Minorities".

Usually people say brain rot nowadays when referring to either themselves (in a self-deprecating way) or another, specifically to make light of or make reference to how detached from reality (or down a rabbit hole) their actions or words have been.

First example that comes to me is, when explaining a post-ironic meme with years of subtle context to someone who is another demographic or not part of that audience, and they clearly cannot comprehend it due to lack of shared understanding. In that case, presuming the stakes are low, I would be likely to say ‘ahh that’s just brain rot, don’t worry’ to relieve the other party and indicate that I know they won’t understand.

When using it against others you are showing in few words that something is inappropriate or only important to people with brain rot.

As to some general examples;

• people who think that realistic looking people in video games are ‘woke’. These people are brain rotted by failing to ‘touch grass’ for far too long. What they advocate for is seen as obviously out of touch with reality to those who do touch grass.

• people who think they only need to participate in voting every four years, and that is the pinnacle of political action, usually have liberal brain rot (which they have absorbed through popular culture even before the internet) that pacifies them to this lesser participation

I can think of many more, but generally it’s supposed to imply that notions left to fester unchecked, or often those reinforced by an echo chamber, will present as ‘brain rot’ - a fundamental disconnection from reality in certain areas, that is the obvious result of ‘unchecked rot’ in terms of information diet rather than underlying conditions.

As if the world can stand up to the USA, you must stand up from within…

This isn’t a tenant of ‘the left’ but rather of liberalism.

Deference to law, police and morals that adhere to the legality of action are liberal brain rot, only the left in so far as the right is fascism.

Being on the left often carries pacifist sentiment but deference to legality and unwillingness to act is a liberal tendency.

Summit for Lemmy

I was using Sync since the ::: spoiler spoiler reddit ::: exodus and basically moved with it, but it’s not been updated for a while so I tried out a few others but was always turned off by their different gestures so I never switched.

However when I tried out Summit it had the right theming and gestures to be comfortable coming from Sync, along with an excellent unique screenshot tool that I’ve come to rely on.

I will try out phtn.app as an alternative on desktop since I don’t browse Lemmy much outside of the apps.
