Fortunately I have media literacy and know that the existence of someone marketing a scary narrative doesn’t actually provide any credibility. I can read scary headlines and pass it through the “does the make sense?” filter before getting worried.

I agree the friction + manipulation that LLMs introduce is troubling, but “knowledge collapse” is the extreme end of that concern.

Related, an untrustworthy source that already has a cover for giving wrong information being controlled by a few entities who already lobby like crazy just being “trusted” to not use the platform for propaganda & misinformation.

Have the same phone for 6 years now, bring it into the shower most days, and have not had any issues.

Maybe steam has a non-zero effect but it’s pretty damn close to zero…

There are a lot of reasons to hate AI, I don’t really buy into this one. “New technology only captures a subset of knowledge” is just not a new issue, and fearmongering around it is not new either.

I would be concerned about language collapse (i.e. models incrementally forget vocabulary + fail to adapt to new terms leading to language becoming incrementally worse) before I would worry about knowledge collapse, and I’m not that worries about language collapse.

The sitcom format in general just doesn’t work for modern audiences. The format needed entirely self contained narratives which could be watched with a whole family - that isn’t what the market demands these days.

I think Seinfield sucked but I think all sitcom sucks, mostly because I didn’t grow up in a house that watched them + moved to streaming before I had my own place.

Shocking. Man has opinion and that opinion primarily applies to himself.

A ton of very questionable choices on this list. Many of these aren’t even prestige TV?

The office US is broadly considered the better version. It certainly had a way bigger market success.

100% this.

“Don’t infringe on what I determine to be my rights; but abduct/kill anyone I determine to be an enemy”

Hasn’t ubuntu always been the “non-tech friendly linux distro”? Their market niche was not being light weight.

Backyard campfire. Paired with my choice of

• Music
• Other people
• Edibles / etc.
• Online chess

I just kinda go out there and vibe for an hour or so a couple times a week.

That’s a great bit. Well done OOP

Two objectively wrong opinions; all anime is trash, and no anime is trash.

The only thing keeping me sane is the knowledge that for the last several decades, Congress only voted for whatever they were bribed to vote for anyways. They’ve never voted one way or the other because they “understood” the subject matter.

They acted corruptly before, they’re acting corruptly now. Nothing has changed.

There’s been a ton of updates, and a lot of bugs

The vast majority of Americans have plenty of people to blame.

That’s before you consider book deals and other side gigs

My rule of thumb is that there is very little point in planning for things that occur >5 years from now. Priorities change, external factors change, and so on.

That said physical health is maybe the single exception.

I’m new to this platform and not finding that in the community or general search. How do I access that?

Nothing would surprise me at this point, Reddit builds a platform that lets you get attached to your account & community and then takes it away without even having a human look at the ban. Total BS
