Qwant is so bad IMO, I tried to use it but the results just suck. I kept having to use Google or DDG to get better ones. Only truly great one is Kagi but since they’re US based and I can’t afford the monthly cost (even though it’s low) I don’t use it anymore.
That’s completely irrelevant to me and many others, just 30°C is enough for use to go into that mode. I don’t like heat, it just makes me feel bad.
Met a dude like this at an after party a while back.
As soon as me and my friends came there this random dude had something out for me, never met him before, and I couldn’t handle how much he was staring at me so I sat down and started talking to him. I’m a very unagressive person and shy away from even heated discussions, just wanted to see what the deal was and see if just talking would help the mood soften.
Almost immediately he brings up the, then very current, thing about the EU voting about banning the words sausage, burger, filé etc. for non-meat products and he’s fully on the side of that being a good thing. I don’t agree but also never go into full on debate mode so I try to talk with him in an “interested about your views” way, ask about his experiences around it etc.
And I learn real quick that he’s the kind of person who tries to find every single clumsy word choice, small hole in an argument and then goes on a completely uncalled for rant and personal attack through that. But I’ve learned to just continue doing what I do, I want to discuss and talk and not act like I’m superior and go for personal attacks. Of course he can’t stand someone not getting angry or trying to do the same things back so after a bit he whips out his phone and says “Ok, let’s as ChatGPT about these things” and I have never felt so much like bursting out in demeaning laughter as I did then.
He sits there and literally just reads the answers he’s been given from the obviously very skewed towards his view questions he’s written.
I just look at him and let him continue for a bit then stood him and say that I’m very much not ok with this, if you’re gonna start a debate over something you should do that based on your knowledge and experiences, at the very most bring up a Wikipedia article but not a fucming AI chat bot. His answer is literally “I’m a junior lab assistant and have tech skills, I know that these answers are 100% correct and based on all available information online”.
I couldn’t even respond to that so I just say I need to take a leak and ask where the toilets are and actually went and joined some other random people, who were very nice to talk to and even discuss and debate things with.
After about an hour and a half some of them needed to go home so we go into the room where he was sitting and he’s having the same fucking debate with two other dudes who are sitting there just as bewildered and annoyed as I was, I sit down next to them and join another conversation and the AI bot dude stands up, looks at us 3 he talked with like he’s disgusted by our existence and just leaves.
So fucking weird, I actually feel sorry for him more than I dislike him. I hope he manages to climb out of that hole.
Sorry for the wall of text and certainly some spelling errors, gonna have to come back and format and correct stuff later tonight.
Plenty do. Scandinavia being among the most cited examples.
And yet again, the never ending confusion over “why the fuck is everyone choosing to see ads?” question comes up.
When I came here to Lemmy I really thought I’d never se any posts about complaining about ads because all you need to never see one is having the tech literacy just slightly above grandma level.
Yet here we are, with weekly posts like this.
And to be clear, I absolutely agree with the comic but it’s most if the comments here that’s the issue. Why are you people not even firing a single brain cell to decrease the amount of ads you see? They’re clearly an annoyance, but they’re also INCREDIBLY easy to get rid of.
No, they compared dirt to Lay’s salt and vinegar chips. That’s not the same as comparing dirt to any and all said and vinegar chips.
I hope some NSFW only kickstarter clone comes from this, it’d be both really fun to browse and I think it’d make some cool, fun, weird etc. products real.
“Which steaming pile of shit tastes better?”
Yep, just loke any other American big brand candy etc. Absolutely vile shit that shouldn’t be allowed to be sold.
Found the American who hasn’t tasted actually good things.
Is strongly disagree. I have it set as my main web search but it’s often so bad that I have to jump to Google or something else, which I don’t want to do. The only modern truly great one I’ve used in Kagi, but since it’s US based and not free I don’t use it.
It’s right there, I don’t understand how anyone could not see it.
Look at the second image, you can see the outline of the beak.
This has to be about Terry Davis in some way.
YES, exactly! Make it either both share one or none of them.
I keep seeing people say “this is AI” about images and video that are extremely obviously photoshops and other “manual” edits. And that’s fucking scary, IMO.
How are they so unable to differentiate a shitty edit from AI? It’s completely different. No AI image or video I’ve ever seen has looked like a bad photoshop, CGI etc.
The way AI stuff looks has a different thing to it, even really bad AI. And I fucking hate AI of all kinds, just to be clear.
When you apply statistics to Windows you find big holes and lets a lot of bugs in.
