How, exactly? Decentralization aside, lemmy is a reddit clone, but on a smaller scale. The same human psychology that drives reddit also drives lemmy. I think your assessment is more applicable to mastodon because there you really have to figure out how to fill your feed with content.

But even a web-based version of Word can’t be a Google Docs alternative, because Word can’t into spreadsheets and presentations.

It doesn’t prove that they knew either. We have this thing called presumption of innocence.

This made me thinking about Valve potentially banning my 19-years-old Steam account due to some error or a mistake 💀 I heard bad things about their customer support.

Maybe I missed something, but since when Word is not only an alternative to an office suite, but also a web-based one?

A tablet versus laptop? I don’t get it. Apples to oranges.

Every time people say “it’d be nice to live in the 50s” or something like that, I always think: “Nope, I’d never trade modern medicine for anything else.”

Yeah, but smartphones have stopped offering anything new. I recently upgraded my 8-year-old device, and I hardly notice any difference. I bet other customers see that too. They are desperately trying to find the next big thing. It’s astonishing, however, that all these companies completely ignore the fact that their customers don’t even want AI features.

I guess if you make a lot of money you get a pass for allowing misleading and anti-consumer marketing campaigns?

He is appointed by the people for whom he is making money and not by the customers. So the answer is likely yes.

My back hurts when I see a colleague on a zoom meeting sitting like that cat.

A couple of Sony games because they don’t want to sell them in my country 🤷 They leave no other choice but to pirate them.

I’m not sure what technology I would choose, but surely it would be related to the climate change.

The community had solved this problem decades ago. Of course, bouncers, relays, and other solutions are not for everyone. But there are also modern web clients like https://thelounge.chat/ that always stay online. You can use them pretty much like discord for text chats.

Funny enough, Skype is dead now, just like ICQ, MSN, and many others. But IRC is still alive. Decentralized protocols <3

Is it? In Sam’s case, we’re mostly talking about creative products in the form of text, audio, and video. If an artist releases a song and the song is copyrighted, it doesn’t hamper innovation and technological development. The same cannot be said when a company patents a sorting algorithm, the method for swiping to unlock a smartphone, or something similar.

I think they are either completely delusional, or they know very well how important AI is for the government and the military. The same cannot be said for regular people and their daily struggles.

Thanks for sharing your wisdom, Ralph.

Having a bad dream? Why don’t you dream about RAID SHADOW LEGENDS instead! DIVE INTO A DARK FANTASY…

For real. If a human performs task X with 80% accuracy, an AI needs to perform the same task with 80.1% accuracy to be a better choice - not 100%. Furthermore, we should consider how much time it would take for a human to perform the task versus an AI. That difference can justify the loss of accuracy. It all depends on the problem you’re trying to solve. With that said, it feels like AI on mobile devices hardly solves any problems.
