Sometimes I see comments/headlines and I think: "Is this AI?" And then I think: "Or is this person just stupid?"
I've always assumed it was AI, but maybe "the kids" today can't write a coherent lemmy comment.

The number of 18-year-olds is about to drop sharply, packing a wallop for colleges — and the economy
I don't think of it in terms of the action being virtuous, but that they are signaling what they think is virtuous.
We can’t imagine why the company is upset about an extremely popular replacement firmware for their hardware
It's because their app spies on you and they sell that data. (No evidence, just a guess.)
What I love most about the phrase "virtue signaling" is that when people accuse you of it they are themselves virtue signaling.
About five years ago the exhaust fan on my furnace started making noise. It sounded like a bearing issue, so I figured out the correct replacement part, ordered it and installed it myself.
It cost a little under $200 all told. I know that the service call would have been at least $500.
So many of the things we own are made of generic parts that you can buy off of amazon for less than the cost of getting a guy to come look at it.
Self awareness is the only path to being a better person.
I was thinking about this movie just the other day. I had no idea that was Jack Black.
This thread is full of people comparing OPs hypothetical about 10 years from now with last year's capability.
Will AI progress that fast? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It probably won't get that good, but it doesn't matter. If it gets as good as your average junior that's going to mean something like 100% increase in productivity, which means 50% as many jobs and that's going to be a BIG FUCKING DEAL.
Especially when it's going to be replacing a lot of other types of office workers. What kind of job is your average software dev going to transition to? Tech support? Not anymore. UI Designer? LOL. Manager? And who are you going to be managing?
If the US doesn't hit 15-20% unemployment in the next 10 years I'll eat my hat. I'll be eating it either way because I'll be starving to death.
No, clearly Apple is spying on OP and sending all that valuable tracking data into the Fediverse because they're secretly communists. Or something.
I'm sorry but if someone is pretending to be a Republican
to gain favor with Trump, skirt antitrust laws, and ultimately 'rip off consumers and crush competitors'
doesn't that just make them… a Republican?
My dude. Things cost money. That's a basic fact of life. A rec league needs to rent space to play in. You need gear to play. If those facts taint the activity for you I'm not sure how you can even handle the horrific crassness of paying for a place to live. You should probably live in a hovel the woods. One that you didn't pay for.
As a person near the great lakes: No, they shouldn't.
