What are the bot accounts being used for? I haven't noticed any posts made by bots (unless you guys are all ChatGPT and I'm the only human here)

I know one crypto bro IRL. He acknowledges that it's all just a pyramid scheme, but he enjoys it because it's like gambling but with more strategy involved I guess.

It seems like a really bad idea to use a wireless controller instead of a wired one. But I guess it shouldn't matter as long as they have a backup wired controller in case the wireless one dies.

I wasn't a huge fan of the movie X but I really liked Pearl. So that's probably my favorite prequel.

I made an online order for a restaurant a while ago, and there was a tip option with a message that said "100% of tips go toward supporting the restaurant." First of all that's a super vague statement, and secondly, that's not what tips are for. Tips are for supporting the specific people who serve me, not for supporting the restaurant as a whole. Why would I want to leave a tip when I don't even know where the money is going.

That's really weird that they would recommend just Beehaw specifically. It makes me wonder if the author understands what Lemmy is. (Or maybe I just feel jealous as a filthy Lemmy.One user)

"In the same way you might use Google Maps to get everywhere and not know how to get there otherwise, AI might cause people to stop learning things they would have otherwise had to learn. Ironically, though, Rosen thinks this could cause more stress as people are inundated with AI and constantly shifting gears and not seeing anything quite clearly."

This is one of the most concerning aspects of AI IMO. Learning and thinking are some of the most fundamental aspects of being human. When you can outsource thinking to a machine, how is that going to affect your sense of self worth? How are we going to keep kids motivated to learn in school, when they know that they'll never be able to learn things as well as AI can?

The Chaos Machine by Max Fisher. It's about social media companies, and how their algorithms have affected society and caused social and political division. It's very insightful and eye opening.

Halo is pretty much dead. They have an update coming out this week, but after that I wouldn't be surprised if Infinite never gets updated again. And I'm also predicting that project Tatanka is going to get canceled. I hope I'm wrong, but that's where my expectations are right now.

If Facebook is reducing the amount of controversial news that users see, I think that's a really good thing for society (since presumably this means that fake news and rage bait news is de-prioritized as well.) But it is very shitty that Facebook has so much power over so many companies. It's upsetting that a single company has so much power over what people see online.

Elemental just doesn't look like a Pixar movie to me. It looks kinda like a lower budget animated movie. I've heard that the movie looks nice when you actually watch it, but I don't think it shows well in trailers. I'm guessing that could be a reason for the low box office results.

People don't dislike defederation because they misunderstand it. They dislike it because it's a bad user experience. It sucks to effectively get banned from a bunch of major communities through no fault of your own. It's a flawed system. I don't know what a good solution would be, but it's definitely an issue.
