People might forget you exist if you couldn't use a phone for three months. And, three months of service dues just to download that...

@dalias @noondlyt
Yeah, it took me about 5 years of lazy thinking to realize what the company name Intel really means

"Was that all or would you like something else?"
"Just give me the check, please"
"To bylo všechno, nebo byste chtěl/a něco dalšího?"

@mxchara @thomasfuchs
I think it's a good fit
those mn- words can be tricky though 🙃

@inthehands
I think you're right, they have cost goals to meet and "losing customers" wasn't considered appropriately when they made those goals. Either that or they already determined they will simply buy any remaining competitors soon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meowdy is short for "meow do you do". Try it, you cat will thank you

Isn't this precisely the entire fucking premise of this country's foundational story?

@malcircuit @jonne @thomasfuchs @peter
Well one difference is that he sends his whole work through at once and says "find errors" instead of looking for squiggles in the text as he goes, which sounds good to me because those squiggles distract me so much from actual writing.

Another is the training. Where's the data from? Did those people agree to provide it? How much energy did it take to train? I just don't know these things.

@malcircuit @jonne @thomasfuchs @peter
He's running olama on a local computer. I haven't looked into the the training for that model but if i was able to be convinced that there's an ethical model to use it might be that one.

So he's set up an AI at home. That's not "Big LLM", but it's also definitely not "anti AI", which a lot of his fans are

@jonne @thomasfuchs @malcircuit @peter
If I have been reading his complaints correctly Cory never hated AI unless it was burdening the user: i.e. "Reverse centaur"

I guess that's good enough to sell a lot of books because it is a "functionally smart" position with a little pushback against the AI trend, and not enough people in the media are willing to give us even that, but -my- problems with AI go deeper than the interface. I still consider it (attempted) intellectual theft and a sanitized interface for environmental destruction that provides results which are a lot less helpful than all the stuff that came before AI -- all the stuff they deliberately took away to make AI seem useful

(I recently stopped letting Cory in my feed after he started to share substack articles)

@skinnylatte @rainerzufall_le
I was in Berlin near an election, i want to guess about 2014, and there were racist and sexist campaign signs up all over the place with hand drawn graffiti to make them even worse, and at least once a large group of very loud men came to a public square to sing their sieg heils - to most people's disamusement at least. Still, it was very unsettling
I was there ten days and that happened where i was eating. I've never seen anything like that happen in forty plus years of living in the US

@thomasfuchs
I've seen that people are modifying these now, i think better screens and solid state drives for starters but i am not really an apple guy so i haven't looked that close. Sounds like these old iPods are really loved though

Please don't lodge with fascists

We went on a trip for about a week recently and we didn't start packing early. I didn't think much of it until we got back and my cat was mad at me. I think he wanted warning and us packing for a week before a trip gives him that 🫠

@NeonPurpleStar
I started drinking coffee when it was free at work once. I got up to 60oz a day before i forgot

That headache lasted 3 days

When a system i rely on tries to trick me into doing things it wants me to do instead of helping me do what i want i lose trust in it. I'm not going to run through deep system settings with any expectation that it will respect my will when it has already tried to subvert it.

Fuck Google
Fuck Microsoft
Fuck anyone that puts an AI button where something useful used to be in order to exploit muscle memory for their metrics

@skeletor
Sometimes i have to take a break from cussing though

@mwichary @Infoseepage @jwz
Here the force is downward and productive all at once. A pencil eraser gripping the drum is good where it would stop a dial from functioning, and the phone will not counter-rotate away from my dial finger before i finish dialing because I'm literally pushing it into the table
