Lordy. Just put your phone down go outside and just interact with humans.
Humans elected trump, and are just the worst. This isn’t even new information. The old phrase in the 1970s was “people suck”. Probably some old classic car that still has that bumper sticker somewhere.
“Humans” didn’t elect trump, US-Americans did.
A heavily gerrymandered, politically censored, brainwashed, religious, and impoverished populace elected Trump.
Humans aren’t much better sometimes.
Nah I’m good thanks. I don’t even want to talk to an AI.
Now going outside and befriending some small creature, or hugging a few trees? That sounds nice.
That does sound nice.
I don’t really want those people talking to me.
Humans are fucked
Well humans made me realize that Facebook’s main reason for being awful was that more people joined… Same with reddit… More normal people joined…
It’s not just who’s on there. It’s also how the platforms promote content into your feed. When I was on Facebook in 2008 the friend feed was just that. Just people I mutually knew IRL posting. Facebook hadn’t yet figured out how to really monetize it. Advertisers were not as on it. SEO wasn’t really a thing yet.
Fast-forward 5-6 years and it really grew into an all-encompassing thing. Yeah, more people were on it, but so were the marketable opportunities. So were the suggested posts. So were all the news organizations, the grifters, the advertisers… and Facebook’s role in all of that is to promote the most outrageous and engaging content to you to keep you on the site longer than ever before. They have it down to a science.
then maybe don’t get so attached to something fully owned and operated by a 3rd party that can change it on a whim. or even kill it completely.
Ikr, self host for christs sake!
Those people needed help even before ShitGPT.
Lol. Reminds me of a dialogue chain in Fallout 3 or 4 where one of the Brotherhood dudes finds out he’s a synth, so you kill him. Later ask his buddy if he misses him, and the dude says something like “That’s like missing a toaster. We don’t have time to mourn lost equipment.”
LLMs should only be thought of as a really complicated search engine/database. Attaching a personality to them and treating them as your friend is crazy
They should not even be thought of as that, that is how you get people to think they can replace actual search engines with llms.
People have been falling in love with scammers for as long as there have been people.
Be there for your loved ones.
Like saying goodbye to a crazy neighbor you know.
Not that I think that their relationships were healthy, but dude, c/selfhosted. Needing a subscription for something you plan to interface with daily forever is a recipe for financial burden. Giving control and maintenance of that software to another entity is a recipe for letdown.
Gross.
… dude.
That’s pretty pathetic!
Not a big user of AI but a suck up chat bot sounds like pain to interact with
I hated the old model. It would dish out pleasant lies all the time, refuse to correct any faulty assumptions….it was exactly the kind of thing my boomer mother would like. It was an automated corporate yes man.
The people who lament the death of that are mentally unwell.
