Phanatik, to asklemmy in Ancient wisdom often sounds like common sense now that it is commomly taught. What is some ancient wisdom that we no longer teach because it was wrong?

Case in point, Brexit.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in What hobby do you have that no one else in your family shares?

All of them.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in What Linux OS & Desktop Environment (DE) or Windows Manager (WM) do you use?

Arch Linux with Sway. I've been enjoying it a lot more since automating the boot up. I open the same programs every day, may as well get Sway to do it for me.

Phanatik, to memes in Hallmark channel go brrrrr

I love that Deadpool has replaced Ryan Reynolds because that's basically who he is in public, all to manage his crippling anxiety.

At this point, Ubisoft and Bethesda games can be thrown in too.

Phanatik, to linux in What are people daily driving these days?

Arch with Wayland and Pipewire. Running SwayWM and have never been happier with my setup.

Phanatik, to linux in PipeWire 1.0 Released For Managing Audio/Video Steams On The Linux Desktop

Genuinely one of the best pieces of software that these heroes are giving away.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

It will shock absolutely no one that the flavour tastes like shit.

I'm still wondering at what point of the process they used a generative model to compose the flavour. Just seems like marketing to me.

When it comes to contradictions and hallucinations, sometimes people will put out contradictory information or act hypocritical, the difference is intention. ChatGPT can't help but make contradictions and hallucinations because it has no awareness of what information it's putting forth. It will very convincingly present incorrect information and not know that's what it's done.

It is impressive. Except it's being touted as more impressive than it actually is and that's what annoys me. The complete lack of critically evaluating these models and then giving into survivorship bias.

That's all aside from the privacy and copyright concerns.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

I love Sci-Fi. One of my favourite authors is Philip K. Dick and I've written stories about AI.

I cannot grant the concession that the likes of ChatGPT and Midjourney qualify for the moniker of AI. It would require lowering my standard for what I constitute to be intelligence, such as having a basic degree of awareness. ChatGPT for example will contradict itself and hallucinate information (not new information, just irrelevant and incorrect information) and can do so in the same response. This is not intelligence, this is the mere imitation of intelligence and that is not sufficient.

Phanatik, (edited ) to asklemmy in Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?

"Artificial Intelligence". The marketing has overtaken reality and common sense. Until the datasets are re-evaluated with information given with consent, I refuse to consider this snake oil anything more than a fad.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?

The mini series is fantastic. It's a lot closer to the book and handles the pacing extremely well.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?

Even by itself, the show makes no sense.

Phanatik, to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?

Honestly, I fucking hate the new Dune. The old Dune at least has charm for how goofy it can get. The characters and editing choices I have huge problems with. It's a very pretty movie and most scenes made it in but the characters just aren't there. Also the world isn't established properly. They don't even mention the Landsraad until the tailend of the movie but they're important to know about because they are why the Emperor takes the strategy he does.

Phanatik, to memes in Frank!

He's hooked up to a polygraph machine which tests for truthfulness (with debatable accuracy). When asked if he spent their monthly budget on it, he says "yes" and his friend behind gives a thumbs up to indicate he's telling the truth.
