  • listen I’m just gonna put this out there. i still am using a oneplus 8t and it is fantastic and I have zero plans of upgrading anytime soon. it runs everything I need it to with zero hiccups. even emulators run beautifully.

    i highly recommend looking at older models as they’re extremely feature rich and much less expensive than these new flagships they keep putting out.

    oneplus was meant to be one of the “flagship killer” type companies and now its just as annoying and pricey as the rest. I’d suggest looking at older models if you’re dead set on Oneplus, or I’d suggest something like fairphone.










  • unfortunately it varies from different instances, but there’s quite a few that don’t have voting.

    and I can recommend voyager app because you can just turn them off in settings.

    the beauty of the fediverse is that you can have requirements for your browsing patterns/instance that you can follow and not everyone has to do that very same thing. you can join a platform that represents your type of content or even make your own.



  • the headline is scary, but the article is scarier, honestly.

    I learned about the incident from Chakrabarty, a computer-science professor at Stony Brook University. I’d previously written about his efforts to quantify the proliferation of AI in novels self-published on Amazon. After commenting on Tuch’s post, he plugged the whole column into the Pangram AI detector. The program estimated that more than 60 percent of it was AI-generated. I ran the column through four other AI-detection tools: Two of them flagged 30 percent of the work as likely AI-generated, one found no AI, and one suspected AI but offered no percentage.

    i think 30% is almost scarier than the 60 or the potential of a 100% article. that someone would rely on it and disperse it into their own work means more people get used to reading it and it being a part of their every day routine.

    unknowingly consuming partial slop sucks.
