I fucking love it. I’ll never understand people who hate birdsong, no matter what time. Are your windows really that thin? Relax and enjoy something nature provides for free at no cost to you whatsoever.

Perish like a dog it is then. There is no tearing down reality without you inside of it.

I think I largely did. I watch Youtube with an adblocker and Lemmy is my only social media. Everything else is corporate. 95% of the internet could be gone tomorrow and I wouldn’t notice.

Interestingly, I don’t think that’s going to happen. OPEC could decide to ramp up production if USA lowers theirs. Demand for oil isn’t rising the way it used to due to alternatives not only becoming viable but actually cheaper as well.

I wonder what’ll happen to Tech giants’ revenue in the EU if they decide to get serious about this.

Just did the same. My pc was 7 years old. This may be my final ever upgrade.

Sure grandma. Let’s get you back to bed…

I’ve had great success with using ChatGPT to diagnose and solve hardware issues. There’s plenty of legitimate use cases. The problem remains that if you ask it for information about something, the only way to be sure it’s correct is to actually know what you’re asking about. Anyone without at least passing knowledge of the subject will assume the info they get is correct, which will be the case most of the time, but not always. And in fields like security or medicine, such a small issue could easily have dire ramifications.

Anyone with the brains and means is welcome in EU! Several member nations are setting up funds for exactly this reason.

Yes, as long as the information you get from the AI is correct. Which we know is absolutely not the case. That is the issue. If AI’s output could be trusted 100% things would be wildly different.

I don’t trust any of these “giving pledges” upon death. In name, their fortunes will pass on to nonprofits. Nonprofits controlled by their family members, which comes down to letting them keep their inheritances tax-free. This even happens in Europe.

At first it annoyed me slightly but I’ve noticed that I can understand most of them without having to use a translator, so now it’s just free language practice. And deciphering memes is decidedly more fun than taking a course.
