It has already been renamed to Microsoft365.

And the whole set of problems only exist because there are too many cars.

I guess the current ‘stage’ is human-induced ecological collapse. Just another chapter in the earth’s story.

I still reckon it was probably a fake story created to get people talking about the existence of that service. i.e. an ad.

I honestly thought that maybe Lemmy wouldn’t have karma farmers, since there is no global points tracker. But here we are, with an exact copy-paste of an old post being presented as though it is a authentic sharing of personal thoughts.

Why do this?

Counterpoint: I haven’t noticed that being a trend until this thread.

Realistic AI generated faces have been available for longer than realistic AI generated conversation ability.

Generally being nice to other people is a good thing. It makes the world a nicer place for everyone. And in cases like this, it seems like it is pretty easy to be nice - just don’t call that person ‘dipshit’. That just seems like a very low-cost way to show the person that you respect them.

yeah, it’s pretty common for AI answers to feel very accurate and useful on topics the user doesn’t know much about, but highly error-prone and unreliable on topics the user is an expert in. … … …

I don’t think it is about avoiding responsibility.

Often when people say that some thing is bad, they are talking about the effects of its misuse; and the goal is to reduce / prevent that misuse by persuading other people to change their behaviour. But it is generally easier to persuade someone that their tool is bad rather than they themselves are bad. If they believe the use of the tool is a problem, they may stop using it that way. But they will basically never come to believe that they themselves are the problem.

It means death. -1 life.

Probably, but the stink will linger for quite a long time.

There’s a burger place near my house that I use to go to almost every week. But then the quality started going down, and I stopped going there. That was two years ago. Maybe they fixed the problems, but I’m not going to know - because I no longer go there. Snap is like that.

That true, but I don’t think its a helpful way of looking at it.

It’s crazy how you missed that point yet harp about intelligence.

I’m not sure why you said that. The person you are responding didn’t ‘miss that point’. They were themselves pointing out that other people have missed it. You are both criticising people for missing the same point.

wtf

I’d rather download a bear than download a strange man, that’s for sure.

And also, the guy has to be hot.

No. Different comics, different artists, different themes. - But some similarity in visual style.

I honestly don’t have a strong sense of how Tate can be so popular. But if I had to guess, I’d say the “no sense of community” is probably the biggest thing.

The internet has become a gathering place where communities and social bonds are formed. I can imagine a heap of people who are struggling socially in the real world seeing, and then seeing Tate and his community offer an ‘answer’ to that - supporting those who feel rejected, and putting the blame squarely on others. That’s what I see as the draw that brings people in. They feel safe and secure in their haven of hatred. Any opposition to them is from people that are weaker and less important. – Which then makes leaving the group almost impossible, because you’d have to degrade your own view of yourself - joining the people who you think are weaker and less important.

So this Tate thing is rot that has taken root because of a gap in more healthy support structures. (I don’t see an easy solution for it though!)

:)

Yeah, maybe “trash” is a bit harsh. But it definitely isn’t on the same level as 2; and it has a lot of problems. Even the turning off power thing was a bit weird. I’m certain the top-side could easily outlast the under-city in that kind of standoff. I’m not really sure why they needed the power back so urgently. There didn’t seem to be a lot of critical infrastructure, and most people living there didn’t have any tech that could use the power anyway.

Master was said to be really smart and knowledgeable and important, but I don’t recall seeing him demonstrating that at any point. He seemed to just command other people to fix stuff and do stuff. And even when he lost that command, he was still never shown actually doing anything or sharing knowledge. So it was a bit of a mystery to me why the others thought he was important.

… And why was he in the thunderdome cage? “Two men enter, one man leaves” was a big deal; and the guards definitely did not want to open the gates. But then suddenly, inexplicably, Master is just standing right next to them in the cage. Like, wtf is he doing in there? – Ok… I’ll shut up. I do take back saying it was ‘trash’, but I definitely don’t think its a good movie.
