I didn't watch the whole video, but I'm assuming it's about the neural network / reinforcement learning / deep learning kind of AI, which is not GenAI. AlphaFold and such. The more recent version incorporates a diffusion model as one of the steps, which is similar to what LLMs use, but it's not the main driver.

Even if it was using LLM technology, it was trained on a data bank of proteins, not god damn Reddit.

OpenAI, Anthropic and the like have nothing to do with it. They are just wasteful.

I have no problem with AI in general, only with the GenAI parasites.

Do people grasp just how much energy GenAI guzzles?

If it were used for cancer research, maybe I'd be down with it.

But no, it's used by some kids to make memes, create sloppy TikTok content, rewrite emails in posh English that are harder to read, create stereotypical game and movie scripts, reject perfectly qualified people by HR automated CV sorters, dumbs students, creates more fake news, and slightly helps programmers write code faster.

It's appalling. If everyone saw it for what it is, a garbage generator, we'd all be in a better place. But that's not the case, so here we fucking are.

He never played Hades, huh?

Yeah, I saw the post after watching this video, and I thought "this is one of those movies!", but I didn't realize it's also one of the generally bad movies.

I remember it, and I'm a sucker for any SciFi with new ideas, but the delivery on this one had the subtlety of a brick. The idea of the plot is the punchline and that's it, no other social commentary. Justin Timberlake was mediocre at best and to me so obnoxious that it was very hard to identify with him as a justice warrior. 5/10.

"Don't Look Up" was not subtle at all, but it had the kind of in-your-face so well done, that proofed exactly that the target audience it was mocking will not understand the direct slap they were getting.

"The Menu", or "Parasite", or "The Platform", or "The Hunger Games" are also orders of magnitude better if you want to watch a "eat-the-rich" kind of movie.

I'm bad with words and not a movie critic, but hope you get the point.

Three of the top 10 viewed stories on the Post’s website Sunday were articles written by Post staffers outraged by Bezos’ decision. The top one was humor columnist Alexandra Petri’s piece, headlined, “It has fallen to me, the humor columnist, to endorse Harris for president.”

They're paying people to apologize for not voting last time. What that means is up for the reader. Not the same.

And some copyrighted shit from Dolby. Granted, header files only.

 

So far I'm enjoying Liftoff, it's superior to Jerboa and the dev is a god moving so fast with its development.

That being said, here are my thoughts so far:

  • There's a bug when sometimes when I hit back from a post, on the home tab the keyboard pops out
  • I miss the downvote count for posts and comments (yeah, I've found the "nerd" section, but it's just cumbersome) - it could be an interface option in the settings (I understand if some people don't want their feed cluttered with that info)
  • I miss the menu option to block a community directly from the 3 dots on a post in the home tab that Jerboa has. Currently I have to click the community in the post title. The quicker way would be appreciated especially in this Lemmy starting phase when a lot of new communities are created and we tailor our interests
 

Found it on Reddit. It's most probably incomplete, but it has a "Suggest link" button.

The rules for submitting a link are (as of recent):

  • No links to communities who break their service's ToS or share any illegal content (this should be self-explanatory).
  • Link must be an alternative to an existing subreddit. I don't see sub.rehab as a general fediverse directory (for now).
  • Community must have a minimal amount of activity. I am thinking - at least 3 posts that are not submitted by the community's moderator team. This does not apply for communities that are verified and proven as official replacements of the original subreddit
 

Am I the only one not being able to use a controller in first-person games that usually require a mouse to look around / shoot / etc?

This is the reason I avoided buying and playing FPS games or ie Portal, BotW, etc. I find it clunky and first game I tried with sticks on the controller I dumped after the first 10 minutes and switched to playing on a PC, regretting spending the money.

I just prefer scrollers or fixed-cam games for this reason.

Maybe I'm old, but I don't get the 30-minus year-olds being so agile with it.

Do you have any tips on improving myself on this?

 

Given that

  • there is no auto-preview / download of youtube thumbnails for posts
  • the post URL must be the youtube link; uploading an image replaces the URL with the one if the image, so no bueno

What is the format to embed the thumbnail of the youtube video (downloaded manually) in the body of the post and also link it to the video itself?

The reason I'd like to include a preview is that I find it hard to find and click the external link for a post. Sometimes I don't even realize it's a post with a link (both in the listing or after opening the post) - Reddit apps (at least in the 3rd party Slide app that I used) made it clear what type of post it was by clearly specifying Video / Image / Link / Self.text etc

I highly recommend Ben Eater's channel. He's a good teacher, took his time and dedicated months to build quality content in video format, which is a rarity on Youtube these days.
