Absolute chad.

(Mandatory disclaimer that I actually think the anti-GUI jerk goes too far)

I'm absolutely fascinated if somebody can point me to that.

How well did it render most sites, compared to the other CLI browsers?

Nice! I knew it had to be a thing.

I mean, I've never seen a toucan, or even been close to one to my knowledge, but I feel like I understand them pretty well, at least at a basic level. I've also never known any bird except through smell, sound, touch, sight and so on.

They do still suck at physical tasks, and probably will until we find a totally different approach to the problem than brute gradient decent, but I'm not so sure that makes everything else they (appear to) know useless. I'm not convinced kinetic knowledge is the only kind.

The human exceptionalism runs strong. At best, you can argue that this specific machine isn't thinking. Once you say no machine could do it, you're forgetting that you too are stardust.

I get accused of falling to the ELIZA effect, but I suspect some of the critics are driven by something like hubris.

Did you do much browsing? Lynx is a thing, but it can't do JavaScript.

Come to think of it, is there a CLI Lemmy client?

Blasphemy! And also I'm poor, although I guess if I really wanted to run spyware as my kernel I could pirate it.

But yeah, I'm getting the sense those are the two games in town, Linux-wise.

Lol, it's not so good at multiple faces, is it? Still, bravo.

@aihorde@lemmy.dbzer0.com draw for me a picture of Jimmy Carter meeting Vladimir Lenin on the ISS.

Third options?

Why doesn't it say fediverse? Even in scare quotes. I don't think they would actually do it, but I'm imagining a nightmare scenario where they try launching their own platform.
