I use ddg, despite the horrible name it’s very useful for me. I’ve been thinking about kagi the paid search engine but haven’t committed yet.

why are you using google in 2024 grandpa

still looks better than the average Google search

that’s already how i save versions of my files. dd-mm-yy doesn’t make sense with files.

there’s no evidence they’re losing money. the assumption that piracy is lost sales is one made by execs and we all know they don’t know their asses from their elbows.

it’s the other way around. you turn on auto backup and turn off specific folders. it doesn’t ask you to turn them on.

going by what you think constitutes “intelligence”, I’ll consider that a compliment.

are you AI? you don’t seem to follow the conversation at all

this is not language mate, it’s pr. if you don’t understand the difference between rich being used to mean plentiful and intelligence being used to mean glorified autocorrect that doesn’t even know what it’s saying that’s a problem with your understanding of language.

also my problem isn’t about doing math. doing math is a skill, it’s not intelligence. if you don’t teach someone about math they’re most likely not going to invent the whole concept from scratch no matter how intelligent they may be. my problem is that it can’t analyze and solve problems. this is not a skill, it’s basic intelligence you find in most animals.

also it doesn’t even deal with meaning, and doesn’t even know what it says means, and doesn’t even know whether it knows something or not, and it’s called a “language model”. the whole thing is a joke.

the sheer audacity to call this shit intelligence is making me angrier every day

yeah happens from time to time on some threads. unfortunately downvotes don’t make AI any more intelligent.

what joke

it actually makes sense.

1. the i in LLM stands for intelligence
2. there’s no i in LLM

therefore there’s no intelligence in LLM. which, i agree.

look at product testing Andy over here

yes. the super mutant is immune to radiation, but you can’t send them in to do the job. apparently you originally could but it got patched out because of a game breaking bug.

which is weird; Bethesda games are known for their polish and general lack of bugs.

maybe we should all ask our ancestors what they think about our society. you know 80 years ago people wouldn’t be so keen on integration so much, maybe we should give this whole “having black people freely move around” a second thought, what do you think?

also you’re massively misunderstanding the whole political spectrum but i don’t have the energy. I’ll just suffice to say liberals are not and have never been left wing. left has gained some traction in recent years but that’s not about liberals. also for every inch the democrats have moved to the left, republicans have moved a mile to the right. the Overton window has shifted, but not to the left overall.

oh no, please let me use those shitty apps that you keep pestering me to use and i say fuck off every time, please!
