Corporate malpractice doesn’t seem to register with a certain percentage of the population. Not unless they experience direct harm from it.

Perhaps because those people would do the same if they were in Zucks position.

It reminds me of a study I read a long time ago where students from certain fields had different interpretations of what’s construed as lying or cheating. I remember they found that business students have a much lower bar for what’s considered right and wrong.

STEM students had a much higher bar. These days I find it hard to believe tech would fit among that group anymore.

The last point hasn’t actually happened.

The internet is and always has been toxic. At least on lemmy, there’s some people who remember what trolling is and recognize it. On reddit and the other platforms, the traditional internetisms are non-existent. People seem to be born yesterday. They have no concept of trolling or flamebait and the like. They take everything at face value and respond to bait with naivety.

Boomers no longer have the majority voting power. You can stop this any time.

America was isolationist until they were dragged kicking and screaming into the war. Churchill was regularly crossing the Atlantic to beg Roosevelt to try to garner enough support to join the war. The American people did not care. The majority were against joining the war.

All the same today, The majority of Americans either support MAGA or are indifferent. Short of some great personal injury such as a Pearl Harbor type event, Americans will continue to be as they are.

The idea that Americans were anti-fascist heroes is propaganda. They were only angry that they got got by Japan.

The difference was hundreds of MB, but when you’re working with 8GB every bit counts. At that time KDE had an edge over Gnome. At some point the difference wasn’t there anymore.

I was rationing what software I had open so as to avoid hitting swap because that’s when there’s a noticeable lag. Gnome was worse at recovering from that.

8GB was barely enough 10 years ago. That’s when I switched to Arch+KDE. Then KDE started using more. memory.

Kind of tangential to the topic but reddit has been appropriating user names for celebrities and companies. The first known instance (as far as I know) was u/borat. I was surprised thiskind of thing wasn’t a bigger deal.

I wouldn’t be surprised if u/paulmccartney is such a case. A basic name that’s only a 5 year old account. No way nobody grabbed that before.

It makes more sense when viewed as a fancy autocomplete, not an intelligence. There’s no intelligence behind it that is reading your statement and understanding your meaning. It’s responding with text that mathematically likely matches some sort of reply that would fit your statement.

Your statement included Y and the algorithm landed on result that includes Y. There’s no intelligence that could understand that you meant no Y.

That bullshit about the model getting fine tuned just means they are data mining you. It doesn’t make the more LLM intelligent. All it does is add your data to their dataset of which the LLM can draw from for possible future replies. The fundamental limitations of the technology still exists.

I’ve seen it before from retail workers. The first time I thought they were on drugs.

They don’t activate until they decide to act. They don’t engage in formal greeting. Like, “Hi, how can I help you?” Like an idle NPC that hasn’t been triggered to run its script yet.

It’s probably related to the perpetual screen use that causes derealization or whatever. Like how streamers walk around in real life but their mind is engaged in the virtual world of their chat channel, and the real world to them is the virtual one.

Nintendo games didn’t have live A/B testing feedback loops that continuously take metrics and adjust to maximize screen time.

Meh. It’s a required feature at this point. Someone has stalked me on lemmy too.

At some point people started taking the internet beyond seriously. As if every random thing that’s mashed into the keyboard is tantamount to sworn affidavit than must be held up to scientific peer review.
