  • Eye-ther or ether depending the crowd I'm around

  • AI is super energy intensive and we're dealing with both climate change and economically quickly dimensions returns which limit their usefulness. Big AI projects are getting scaled back as the hype train dies down and ever increasing resources are required for them. People don't require as much, like the Romans didn't really need the steam engine one part due to slavery the capitalists don't really need AI for very similar reasons. I suspect more mechanical turk like AI-human combos in the future rather than fully automated AI.

    On the other hand, AI is improving to the point where if you have a PC with gpu from the last 20 years or so you can locally run a version of many things, even a raspberry pi can run a small llm.

    The rich have tanks, atomic weapons, automated guns, drones, helicopters, etc, etc and people have still made a stand against all that. AI is just another thing to be adapted to, this isn't some simplistic capitalist wet dream dystopic Hollywood film or a silly Civilization style game where a 'tech advantage' is unsurmountable. Like people machines have failures, we are in a universe of breakable beings and toys.

  • I have some older foreign films I'd like to watch that have like 0 subtitles, seems useful.

  • And anyone who tries to improve things in the slightest? The damn devil.

  • I use notally for things I read on my tablet or phone, it loads quick on older devices which is the main goal. Otherwise I just get out a document for more important notes.

  • Reminds me of some of the CTH subs some years before reddit's horseshit blanket sub bans. Hopefully it settles down.

  • No mention of the interesting blacklists, harassment by officials and such even semi-serious activist comrades end up on yet there he goes the soft, unemployed and lazy talk.

    Phh comrades are among the hardest workers I know,

  • The middle textbook on the right brought some flashbacks of college quadruple back to back finals.

  • I'm down to a soda/caffeine drink at most once a day, down from drinking two or more every day.

  • Its been like this for a while, in my state its totally legal for you to close at 1am and then open at 5am the following day. If people truly, truly knew the value of sleep on health and function they'd go full prole revolt in a week. All the horrors one can come up for capital are either in place or so nascent one barely notices.

    Anyway, as this is right now is just another technobro grift.

  • Almost all the films and games I've interacted with came from a little

    , otherwise it just wouldn't be accessible for me.

  • Pigeons

  • What's wrong with rubber band cigarette butt nest anyhow? Keeps parasites away and offers a little warm, low effort so energy saved, seems plenty decent to me.

  • This is some old school rogue like birds are bats logic, bees swim through the air.

  • Always interpreted planar creatures as having an alien thought process in general. That is a good use of devils ngl, for related playing pallies/clerics with 'my higher power is the people' is quite fun.

  • I'd love to be literal devil's advocate here and argue devils just think different, in ways usually not immediately beneficial to in-universe society but ultimately a plus by instead providing a stress test for development of what is in universe considered 'good'. Insert the quote from Legend what is light without dark.

  • Oh but they totally are, it gotta make sure you didn't ask voice bots something. Anyway, its something you don't opt out of because that would require a totally de-googled device using lineageos or something and avoiding voice things, also it goes off IP rather than device. For example, my dad visited my house and started to complain about getting youtube ads in Tamil and then being amused by some of the ads and going down a youtube Kollywood wormhole. I do watch a lot of foreign film where my phone can hear me, so every once in a while I'll get an ad of the language of the last film watched, which is sort of funny ngl.

  • McDonald's has been too expensive for years, and it takes too long since they refuse to hire enough people and its usually a child doing the job of 5 grown adults. Fast food my fat ass, I can cook my own food for a fraction of the price faster than McDonald's.

  • Been there

  • This is why I always pee in the stall, I have the shyest bladder.

  • I noticed a lot of these sorts don't know what they want, even if you drop a potentially interested gamer girl at their doorstep, they get really, really scared and shy all of a sudden. Almost as if they're following societal expectations, like it's an achievement checklist in a game.

  • Try to do so many apps per week, 7 or so is a good number, doing a lot sounds good on paper, but HR of different places talk and flooding with your resume makes you look desperate and therefore unemployable.

    Create a schedule you can follow and try to have so much time dedicated to rest/enjoyment if possible, no matter how small.
