Rolando,

I think that the key is to have a “safe word”.

Amazon clearly lying about "ownership" on Prime. (lemmy.world)

You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?

Rolando,

I’m wondering how often do people beyond kids re-watch movies and TV shows?

You should become acquainted with The Office fandom. Some of them have it on permanent repeat.

Rolando,

Take a look at this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

AI has a strong boom/bust cycle. We’re currently in the middle of a “boom.” It’s possible that this is an “eternal September” scenario where deep networks and LLMs are predominant forever, or…

Rolando,

Wait… aren’t we going to try to find out why?

Rolando,

Don’t think there’s anything on lemmy yet.

!fosai – has a good overview/introduction

!localllama

!localllm

!localai

!localllama

Some of those are inactive, though.

Rolando,

she says yes you will suffice…

FWIW that totally made sense to me. When I read that, I caught my breath or my heart skipped a beat or something.

Rolando,

And not one second later!

Rolando,

There’s always the possibility of nuclear winter…

Rolando,

OK, I always wanted to try to make a meme, let’s see how long it takes me…

oh man over 20 minutes. but in my defense I wasted time trying to do it on Gimp before I switched to a hacky approach. comment OP is right, I gotta optimize my workflow too.

Rolando,

There should be a bonus panel showing a couple space whales saying “At last! Someone speaks our language!”

Rolando,

The Eternal Reward, that is.

Rolando,

More importantly, is this a generic straw man or an artisinal straw man?

Rolando,

This is a lie! You are not in a coma. Whatever you do, do NOT stare into a mirror for more than five seconds!

Rolando,

you can only focus on about 10 percent of what you actually see in front of you,

I read about this when I was in high school and it freaked me out because I convinced myself that there were Cthulhu-like eldritch abominations inhabiting the spaces I could not see RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME and I couldn’t concentrate on school for the rest of the day.

Rolando,

Learning curve is huge compared to other social media

The sad thing is, is not really that more complicated, it’s just got a bumpy on-ramp. join-lemmy.org is a lot better than it used to be, but it’s still got this anxiety-producing step where you have to select a home server.

Rolando,

I have a programming joke but I don’t know if it ends.

Rolando,

Wait, if a creator deletes their account, then their communities are deleted?

That’s kind of alarming for communities with absent mods. They could come back at any time just to leave.

Rolando,

I think it depends on the prior history.

This is a GOOD idea if he frequently told her “I’d give you my last dollar.”

This is a BAD idea if his catch-phrase is “they’re cheaper than a 10 dollar ho.”

Rolando,

I don’t do bleach or fabric softener, but I will use a garment bag for a style of t-shirts that I like but that fall apart otherwise.

Rolando,

At first I thought we were still doing stock photos. But apparently they are from a tv show or movie?

Rolando,

I know, right? That’s what puts this over the top.

Rolando,

perkygoth

Rolando,

Scary! Thanks for the info…

Rolando,

I agree with a slight caveat. You’re right that the internet of today is more forgiving of platforms that enshittify. “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever.” -literally 1984, where the boot is advertising and the human face is consumers’ attention.

So we may be stuck at phase 3 for a while, where the consumers and the businesses are getting screwed over by internet platforms. But although the technological environment is changing more slowly, it’s still changing and “with strange aeons even death may die”. When the platforms inevitably die, enshittification will be part of the analysis why.

Of course in the meantime the internet platforms make money for one set of people, and other people’s lives are made crappier because of it.

Rolando,

The Korean ones are kf-94 fwiw.

Ah! You are correct!
