I use to watch neural learning videos on YouTube and found the work they were doing really interesting and over all good for computers. Then I saw OpenAI come out with their LLMs and chat bots and I wasn’t really a fan of them but I used them early on to get some familiarity with it and didn’t like that I had to Google everything and then feed it to the AI for it to get a somewhat decent answer. I don’t like that everyone is turning to AI to generate advertising and make ai slop memes. Also my sister had a psychotic episode after the bot affirmed her deepest insecurities and turned her against her family and friends. So like the sooner we run out of power to feed these monsters the better

You can’t fool me! Thats a tortoise

That was a feature two years ago I thought, long press for the “assistant”. I switched to grapheneos as soon as I got a pixel so I don’t follow Google’s actual releases

Mood. My city is usually bumper with people squeezing up against each other so people can’t get in. The only way to get around is too not participate. Use a bike if you can

Is it? Are you queer? A butch lesbian just touched me in a gay bar cause she had one too many

Idk if this is OK to say. But I’m sorry that happened to you. And you and your brother deserve to be happy

My school went on a soft lockdown and pulled people in gym class from the fields because a bear came on campus and was roaming in the parking lot.

Thats so sad my sister at 18 went with me when we were younger, even dressed up. I went to a bar this Friday and it was packed with people in costumes and dancing, at least my generation still indulges in it. The music didn’t start until 8:30 so it was well after the trick or treaters. Idk maybe kids are afraid of their neighbors, that wasn’t the case in my neighborhood. Hope you have many festive years to come! My friend’s mom use to put tombstones out with her children’s names on them.

I went walking yesterday during trick or treating to a party at a bar 2 miles away. I saw a few groups of kids, I walked through a business street area and all the restaurants and bars and stores were giving out candy to kids with their parents. Every group had a parent but they were mostly 8-14. Definitely wasn’t as busy as it was when I went as a kid 15 years ago, even though I lived in a small town. Also not a lot of houses were participating in giving out candy but I moved to a city so maybe that’s it

Yes

It was a weird childhood, I was 8 when Obama was installed as president. I remember people talking about George Bush Jr and the wars he started in Afghanistan and Al Qaeda. Big gap in between Obama’s presidency and then 2012 shooting of Sandy Hook. And abt every school shooting of the 2010s after that sadly. Also I really want to vote for Mitt Romney but I was 12 and brainwashed by my parents. Now that I’m on a form of obamacare I don’t remember any issues with him. I would re-elect for a third term

I use rocket to view Lemmy most of the time. I see I can block nsfw posts. Maybe I should try it on my desktop later

I just did a deep dive into my settings but couldn’t find a language preference. I guess I can find common German words and add that to my blocked words filter. They will join Trump and Elon on the blocked list

As I scroll All I just block the communities that I don’t want to see, usually German communities because I don’t know their language and a lottt of porn communities I don’t need to see that on Lemmy when I have google/duckduckgo

Yes

They can be green for all I care. Eat the rich if they are red, white, and blue

Hahaha yep after five years you do become the person who knows how to do shit. But you still get paid the same wage just for more effort. If you are working for 5 years and you are being mistreated please leave without a two week notice. I never thought I would the one to do it but its good for your mental health

Show them a pic of Hillary Clinton as a reference

I think the greatest advantage of this is to probably watch a few episodes of show before committing to downloading it especially long series or quick movies. Does everyone in the world need backups of movies and TV shows? I know seeding is an important factor to passing media along but it also feels like hoarding and I’m not a hoarder. It feels like a fine line to cross

I loved when a class would get quiet enough to hear the seconds hand click on the mechanical motor. I lived to see how close it was to the end of minute. One time in class I counted how black dots were on the ceiling. Wow I was bored
