PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Am I the only one getting agitated by the word AI?

The word “AI” has been used for way longer than the current LLM trend, even for fairly trivial things like enemy AI in video games. How would you even define a computer “thinking on its own”?

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What salary do you think would make you happy?

Something like 100k€ would enable me to do all the traveling I want to do and simultaneously save up enough money for a comfortable early retirement. Currently I’m focussing more on having a job that isn’t soul-crushingly stressful and full of overtime though.

PonyOfWar, (edited ) to asklemmy in Why in the year 2024 and with all the knowledge humans have now do people still believe in religion?

Because religion provides comfort, community and a meaning to people’s existence that goes beyond “we were born of chance on an insignificant rock somewhere in the universe”.

(I’m not religious BTW)

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What prevents you from going to bed early?

If I go to bed early, I have to get up and pee at some point during the night. And since it’s way too cold, I’ll usually lie awake for half and hour before I can actually get myself to leave the bed.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What really popular movie or TV show have you never seen?

Many of them, but one show that people sometimes nag me about is “Friends”. Not going to watch it either, doesn’t seem even remotely worth my time.

PonyOfWar, (edited ) to movies in Lift by Netflix is incredibly bad wow

Mostly a joke. There has been some actual speculation around it though. What with it going through all the motions of a Disney story, but not having any originality or a coherent plot.

Is this the first AI generated movie or something?

I mean, we already have “Wish”…

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What Kind of Natural Disasters Occur Where You Live? And How Have You Prepared for Them?

Droughts, hurricanes and theoretically earthquakes. Last actually disastrous earthquake was about 700 years ago though, so I dont worry about those. Last huge hurricane was in 1999. I haven’t really prepared against natural disasters in particular, though I do have some food and water stockpiled.

PonyOfWar, (edited ) to asklemmy in What’s your favorite fantasy universe and why?

Boring answer, but probably Middle-earth/Arda. Just such a well-crafted world with deep and interesting lore.

Runner up would be Bas-Lag from China Miéville’s books. Very unique, somewhat Lovecraftian steampunk world with many weird inhabitants.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Does wind power cause visual pollution in your opinion?

No, I like them. They bring some variety to landscapes. Many people here hate them though.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Is Sync for Android worth the cost?

I’ve initially considered getting the ad-free version, as I did buy it for Reddit Sync, but so far I’m not getting any ads in the free version anyway.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Do you have a heat pump? Is it noisy?

I have one a drinking water one in the basement. When I’m in the basement, it’s fairly audible, otherwise can’t hear it at all.

PonyOfWar, (edited ) to asklemmy in What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost?

A few Motorola and Sony phones as well as the Fairphone still have them as well.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in What is your earliest memory?

Earliest one I can actually put a date on is my first day of kindergarten. I remember the other kids doing some sort of crafting project outside. Other memories may or may not be earlier, hard to tell.

PonyOfWar, to asklemmy in Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?

Indeed, though Lovecraft has the distinction of being pretty racist even for his time.
