Tbf, Tesla probably sold more cyber trucks than Horizons got users.

You must be new around these parts. Facebook (and the rest of big tech) are monopolists. For the past ~26 years, the tech industry has been using illegal anticompetitive tactics to suppress competition and destroy potential competitors. The government has done nothing, because they’re stupid and think “big = good”.

An example is Instagram. It was a start up that was growing rapidly, and actually became a threat to Facebook. What did Facebook do? They placed a massive bid to buy the company at like 10x their actual market value. It’s an offer so huge that every investor in Instagram would support the deal even if the founders were against it.

A sane government would see that as an obvious anticompetitive decision, and block the merger. Facebook should instead use that money to improve their own product and compete fairly. Obviously, that didn’t happen, the merger went through, and Facebook is still the owner of Instagram. Users and the tech industry at large are worse off.

Look at TikTok’s huge success. If they weren’t a Chinese company, they probably would have met a similar fate. Unfortunately for Facebook, they weren’t allowed to buy a Chinese company.

How are they so unable to differentiate a shitty edit from AI?

It’s just that most people don’t know what you mean when you say something is “AI generated”. With context clues, they tie back to terms they’re already familiar with, and are associated with fake computer generated imagery (“that’s Photoshopped”).

I think most people have never even seen Adobe Photoshop, the actual software. Like, literally never laid their eyes on the gray window, the layers and tool panels, etc, yet they’ve still thrown the term “photoshopped” around.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. By definition, an “expert” is someone with a lot of “experience”. Your hypothetical kid has “no experience”. Since we know that 1+1=2, I think we can deduce that the answer to your question is no.

AI is here. Deal. With It. Your authoritarian chains have been shattered, knowledge Nazi. No longer will creation be a luxury for the mentally wealthy. It has now been fully democratized so that even republican voters will be able to code soon.

please review this Lemmy thread and come up with a good way to keep moving the goal posts so that I can feel like I’m right

@onlinepersona prompting chatgpt right now

And people are now getting emails saying that their phone will never arrive, with no mention of them getting their deposits back.

Anyone have the text of the actual email?

ITT: a lot of people who neither read the article, nor understand what the term “memory leak” means.

a modern golden age of stupid people who think they’re smart because they have access to an LLM.

FTFY

The stock market was a mistake. There’s only so much that a single company can grow without resorting to screwing over their own customers, yet these public company CEOs need to deliver constant growth if they wanna keep their jobs. At the same time, so much of the economy is invested in these

Liabiliting

AI is the most successful media franchise in human history

Just like your stupid ‘þ’

Are you even reading the criticisms people are making, or just asking an LLM to generate responses for you? Or have you developed brain damage as a result of so much LLM usage? Those are the most charitable explanations for your behavior here, because you seem to be incapable of understanding the criticisms. This has nothing to do with “effort”.

When I said you should seek a mental health professional, that wasn’t a joke. Some people might say that as a joke, but I wasn’t. AI psychosis is a serious thing we don’t fully understand yet. From my perspective, you’re just an annoying Lemmy user/possible troll, which is easy to ignore. But if you’re not just trolling, then you’re probably damaging your health and/or relationships for a very stupid reason.

Honestly it’s a pretty well written

It was not written

I certainly would try and judge it for its content

I’m not falling for this engagement bait, and I’m certainly not providing free fact checking for AI generated crap

Personally I think the author overstates…

There is no author, and there are no statements; this is junk text auto generated by someone who doesn’t understand the subject matter trying to bait people to drive SEO traffic so they can make money from ads and/or scams

Fuck off with your emdashes you dirty clanker

i generally think i do well.

What are some of your engineering or research accomplishments? Where is your linkedin or github profile showing projects before ~2022?

i worked with cryptography long before AI

What kind of work did you do with cryptography? It couldn’t have been much if you don’t see what’s wrong with what you’re doing. “I set up LetsEncrypt on a web server” doesn’t count as experience.

Any answer you provide to these questions are worthless unless you’re willing to reveal your identity here. That’s the only way to build any credibility, and without credibility nobody should trust you with something like this.

this is something i work on because its enjoyable to me

No, this is something you’re working on because you’re hoping to make money from it. I remember you posting about this project some months ago and you mentioned as much. If it isn’t AI psychosis, then it’s a grift and you’re a snake oil salesman. Idk what you’re expecting to hear? This is a programming community; it’s probably the last place you’ll get positive feedback for this obvious trainwreck.

I think you need to speak to a mental health specialist, because AI psychosis can be really destructive. We all have problems, but using chat bots to make us feel better is dangerous for you and those around you, even if it feels good in the moment. These bots are designed to tell you exactly what you want to hear so that you become addicted to them.

I’m going to guess you didn’t accomplish much as a software engineer before AI? The personal deficiencies at the core of that are still there even if you use AI to tell you otherwise. I won’t speculate what those deficiencies are, but I just want you to engage in some honest introspection. Absolutely nobody will trust someone like you to handle such a sensitive topic like cryptography. Stop wasting your short time on this earth on something so stupid. Go make literally anything else.

modern sdl doesn’t change much of sdl 1.2?

I’'ve only ever used sdl 2 and 3, but I’ve encountered 1.2 code in the wild. APIs are going to be different, but big picture stuff is mostly similar. If you learn how to use one version, it shouldn’t be too difficult to switch.
