The business has to become profitable… To continue existing. There is absolutely no guarantee of that.

There is, however, overwhelming evidence that unless a major breakthrough is discovered within the next year, the well will dry up. They simply cannot afford to live off of investor hype and vibes forever.

Would make sense if the AIs made any money. This is kind of the same system we currently have while AI burns millions daily. Dollars, tons of coal, gallons of water reserves, creatives’ livelyhoods… take your pick

Wouldnt it be wayyyy better if the government was forced to give you a reason as to why theyre stalking you, that was sent in the mail automatically? I understand that could harm longterm investigations but also it would help expose/prevent abuse.

Maybe dont rely on AI tools if youre building a massive case against someone

Im more second hand embarrassed that we’re using a masturbation autocomplete bot consuming municipalities worth of water to dunk on a billionaire who’s basically already proven to be a pedophile wannabe.

This is the only cursor setting ive never used for very long because its so easy to lose. May i ask why you use it?

(Rare preemptive /s) I have no idea what the fuck youre talking about because i know at least 3 people who regularly post on reddit so they cant be bots (/s, again)

Lots of people say my writing looks like AI because i use em dashes (learned about them in 8th grade) and semicolons (6th grade). My only saving grace is my extremely long sentences; AIs tend to have shorter, more poignant sentences with obvious-ish tells once you know what to look for.

Maybe also helps that i changed keyboards recently so i type weird words like “knkw” instead of “know” and dont always double check my spelling

You gotta wonder what the hell facebook execs are thinking, knowing that people who specifically go out of their way to block ads are the ones their engineers are fighting tooth-and-nail to show ads to.

Anyways my solution to this on youtube, anyways, is to click every ad i dislike, training my algorithm to advertise shit i dont want to me and bleeding money from them while promoting the creators i like/YouTube

Or; dont block anything and wait for people to stop using meta products altogether :)

Yeah same. Aur has been significantly less virus prone than the windows norm (inb4 wut abut winget >;ppp) of “Googling some shit you want and clicking the first website to roll the dice on predatory ads or malware or maybe the thing you wanted”

…not to mention if you have btrfs you can just rollback a month or two and call it a day.

Deleting a torrent is probably the most heartbreaking thing i can imagine. My most prized possession is a ratio 1.00 torrent from 2014 that was 0.00 until 2021.

Rechecking, it is now at 2.00 which makes me unreasonably happy

Edit for more happiness: A copy of Monkey Shines (1988) that took me about 14 months to download is now at a 2913 ratio (since February)

Careful with those K’s, pal

Thats the other thing: a glaring issue or bug with linux is likely to be fixed within a few days.

Ive had issues with microsoft in 2012 that still exist today

For education, plus some more before real traffic

So, be worried in about 6 months then?

Have you tried them in the past 5 years or so? Apt has given me WAY more issues than pacman has.

(Also everyone secretly uses yay or paru instead)

I think donation/investment based freemium is the future of internet content once the bots kill ad viability

Yeah, its not handling “my grandma is dying pls send emt” calls, but more “The concert hall is on fire” call #450.

That being said, I disagree with most applications of AI that prevent human interaction. Just because im the 40th person calling about a situation doesnt mean my call is useless, it means i might have new information on an evolving situation.

Reddit did that a decade or two ago. Most arguments about a posted news article are just fights over the headline
