It’s a complex topic that the person you replied to only introduced briefly.

We have a loneliness epidemic and it’s expensive to live in isolation. There is a middle ground between the two that would fit both your pov and the one the person you are replying to is scratching the surface of.

It’s undeniable that some people just get progressively unhealthy when they live alone. But that’s not true for everyone, for sure. But we did evolve to live in tribes and support each other.

No one is attacking the idea of living alone. They are just saying that it’s worth further examination.

This person is likely not participating a conspiracy to force you into communal housing or to have babies.

The maintenance of the US military is a very large contributor to all sorts of pollution.

Holy shit, I just looked up the Samsung USB SSDs (T5, T6, T7).

“Yo, have you used your Cash App pay later yet? I could use some money man. I can pay you back next week and you can pay it off.”

This is, in part, a tool to get people to get others to join the platform.

Who didn’t provide you text to concentrate on?

I’m serious, do you mean this Lemmy post and the OP?

They are all examples of seeking short snippets over long form reading. We are being habituated to do that. And there are people that proudly say and do these things and promote the culture of doing these things. People are doing it in this thread.

Reading with intention.

All that other shit people say or do these things with:

• only read the headline
• comment after only reading the headline
• say “tldr”
• skim emails
• disengage from long and detailed group chat chats, skipping to the end and saying “I didn’t read all of that, but…”
• using AI to summarize emails and long articles

Etc.

How big could a websit… oh. Oh my.

I wonder if you said “cowabunga” to Mr. Cruz, would he get the joke?

Oh no, her true normal human appearance.

This incident will accelerate her case of Mar-a-Lago Face.

Maybe someone can use these as precedent to go after that app. But that app needs to be addressed quickly, because from what I understand, the app is mainly targeting the people who are required to use it. Journalists.

If the app disappears from public app stores and is required to be sideloaded, you’ll know they are trying to keep it from people who will take it apart like this guy did.

That’s a lot of degrees. Wow.

Yup. The smallest fragment of doubt will be a mountain of fuel.

Insidious. Damn.

I don’t know that they always are. It’s easy from our nerd bubble to dismiss AI and LLMs because we understand their limitations and how they work to an extent.

We shouldn’t look down on anyone who takes the advertising and idea that these are “intelligence” at face value. The disclaimers that say that the intelligence is fallible, just like us, are never as strongly worded as they should be. If the AI companies made things clearer, they would be de-hyping their products.

I dunno, this whole thing is unprecedented. And the hype around it all, taken at face value, is irresponsible and misleading.

And there are countless AI hype bros who will just dismiss all of this and call the people who fall into this morons.

It’s really insidious.

So the next time you are in an airport, how will this help? And will you go to jail afterwords?

Damn. Our global economy is teetering on just in time supply chains.

What’s interesting, to me, is that’s exactly how people hedge in the fringe UFO community too. The difference is this AI prediction has real data woven into it. And the UFO people have “stories” and right wing grifters in our current administration pushing the idea.

I’m not trying to be dismissive, I just noticed that the year 2027 is popular for predictions, and has been for 4-5 years.

Oh, and I forgot to list fusion power being cracked. I’ll go add it. There are a bunch of startups right now. Sam Altman just stepped down from the board of one of them to address conflict of interest issues. Allegedly.
