Also just checked and every open ai model bigger than 4.1-mini can answer this. I think the joke should emphasize how we developed a super power inefficient way to solve some problems that can be accurately and efficiently answered with a single algorithm. Another example is using ChatGPT to do simple calculator math. LLMs are good at specific tasks and really bad at others, but people kinda throw everything at them.

I will buy 2 and pour one out for you

The problem is I also have a deep deep distrust of Google. So much so, I think I would rather pay a little extra for a subscription that I feel more directly benefits creators and doesn’t support a company who’s business model is selling spyware and tech addiction. For example, in addition to Nebula I’d consider Dropout TV, Floatplane, Curiosity Stream.

There’s a certain level of cognitive dissonance on my part since I use Apple products. So I’m trying to slowly self host more things and migrate away from big tech.

I thought your post was funny

I kinda set a no ads tolerance policy for myself. I pay for some services (e.g. $5/month for Nebula, I donate monthly to Lemmy, etc). YouTube is the main area where ads tend to creep in since iOS doesn’t have an ad blocker for YT. My goal was to totally ditch YouTube for Nebula, but they are missing some creators I like.

What’s youtube? Signed, a Nebula user.

ps. Ik ik tell me I should use PeerTube.

Idk if that was me being completely stupid and misreading that, or if ad stations is something in our near future that we should be worried about

Hold up… they have ad stations? That feels worse.

You said ads, but I think you meant “late stage capitalism”

It’s crazy how there are just more and more reasons popping up to go to Costco (e.g. supporting DEI, infinite return policy). I’m gonna get a membership.

Or even better, “Join Lemmy, it’s like Reddit with no ads”.

I bet a piece of duct tape over the speaker would work. Also, whatever money they are paying the gas stations, they would probably still get that money even if you manually muted the speaker. Really feels like a win win 😀

Last I checked electric still required a significant amount of emissions for power generation. Only the car itself is “clean” energy. There is also a significant amount of emissions in manufacturing the electric car. I believe we should start phasing out gas cars asap and build a more green power grid. Personally, I bought a used gas car which I believe is more economic and better for the environment than a new gas car. And I live in a more walkable area now, so I do much more walking than I used to. I know I’m still contributing to the problem, but I’m trying to be better.

I’m sure it’s not to the same extent, but I feel like US does the same thing just not as directly. Like the fact that they can triangulate my position at any moment in time with cell tower data.

I’m gen z - though on the older side - and I remember using these

I guess I’m in a very narrow window of people who are gen z but born last century

Just to make some of you feel older, I’m gen z and I’m 26

I’m not a bot, but this derpgon seems like they might be

We you like me to generate more responses to the original post?

Wow wow. The saying is “you’ll never work a day in your life,” not that you’ll be financially stable.
