This feels tantalizingly close to the truth.

What the fuck are “unregretted user minutes”? I regret every minute any user spends on that site, so it should be zero.

“This will help me become president FOR SURE!” he said, then spun the little spinny propeller on his beanie cap.

You’re going to get to! That’s what they will actually be doing if the class action lawsuits don’t crash them.

He’s already being prosecuted. Pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, pissbaby

We’ve been at war continuously for the last 20 years, actually. That’s not an exaggeration, it’s a literal fact about the way post-9/11 America structured the powers of the presidency to declare and then just maintain a state of war.

Ideas for the new logo? I think he should go with a black-red motif, with lots of right angles.

I think it’s very much like regular ice cream, but a flavor an octopus would eat.

Crab, maybe.

Ah, 25 million per child? Finally a fine big enough to make a tech company feel conseque–

[Touches earpiece] one moment, I’m getting an update–

Right. Again, though, I don’t recommend having an LLM do that particular chore for you.

I don’t disagree, but most business emails aren’t quite that strict.

Sometimes the only requirement IS to have words on a page. Think about a disaster recovery plan, for example. Now, you probably don’t want an LLM to write your disaster recovery plan, but it’s a perfect example of something where the main value is that you wrote it down, and now you can be certified that you have one.

This is a legitimate use case for LLM, though.

Not everyone can communicate clearly. Not everyone can summarize well. So the panel on the right is great for the people on the other end, who must read your poorly-communicated thoughts.

At the same time, some things must look like you put careful thought and time into your words. Hence, the panel on the left.

And if people on both sides are using the tool to do this, who’s really hurt by that?

damn, zing

Bro I wasn’t looking for a technical explanation. I know how they work. We made computers worse. The thing isn’t even smart enough to say “I wasn’t designed to do math problems, perhaps we should focus on something where I can make up a bunch of research papers out of thin air?”

Why is “98%” supposed to sound good? We made a computer that can’t do math good

If your children would just adopt a can-do attitude while they’re mining, they’d be getting promotions

Quite–that’s why active is a better metric. And as others have stated, metrics maybe don’t even matter; or they misrepresent.

My point was only for those who want to know the fate it Lemmy as it compares to Reddit: Reddit doesn’t care right now. They’re not going to feel the pain of the bleed for quite a while yet

That’s pretty cool.

I’m truly not being a negative nancy but the last time I checked reddit had 400M user accounts. We should be comparing active user numbers, but either way, this is a drop in the bucket and reddit rightly does not consider Lemmy a threat to its supremacy at this point.

We’re doing great though! Good trajectory.

I guarantee you if he puts a Zuckerberg tracker on Twitter, Elon won’t say shit about that one.
