    Again, the value of AI is not in its ability to make pictures, it’s in it’s value to do business tasks

    Can it make pictures? Sure. Is that why AI worth billions? No

    Nobody gives a shit that it make pictures. We’re using it to take notes, manage pipelines, review and write code, analyze data, make up-to-date reports every 10 minutes, looks for trends in the stock market, looks for planets and shit in images of the stars, help us develop medicine, etc…







  • It’s not that everyone doesn’t enjoy the same things I do, it’s the way they don’t enjoy it

    I don’t know what you like to do for fun but lets pretend it’s, “Play video games”

    A sane way to react to someone enjoying something you don’t is:

    “that’s cool. I’m not super into video games, but I understand why other people would like them. To each their own”

    But that’s not what happened. What happened was:

    "I guess playing games is cool if you’re an idiot that likes supporting billionaire tech CEOs who kill the environment with plastic trinkets for nerds who have an obsession with watching millionaires push buttons on the internet. There is life besides video games and there’s a lot of stuff you can do to have fun both alone and with your friends. It’s a shame you don’t understand this. "

    That kind of response doesn’t make you as cool as you think it does

    My hunch is that this site is full of literal children. The vast majority of you are maybe 16 years old. If you’re older, it’s worse than I thought because it’s embarrassing to be a grown adult who still talks like that. If the internet is encouraging you to think it makes you cool to hate stuff, get off the internet. It’s bad for you. Hating shit isn’t cool, enjoying life is.

    I’m happy people all over the world play video games. Yeah, there are some downsides… but I think it’s neat you can play a game tonight with somebody in another country and the two of you can have fun together. I don’t need to engage in it myself to see how awesome that is


  • This has that big, “social incel” energy. Most of us went to a giant party and had the time of our lives. We drank, we danced, we cheered, we laughed, we got laid. It was great! But not you. You think you’re super cool because you didn’t go that party because, “AcTuAlLy PlAsTiC cUpS aRe BaD fOr ThE eNvIrOnMeNt”.

    That’s just lame. Missing out on big fun events doesn’t make you cool… you’re just fucking up your own life. This is it, this is all you get. Don’t spend it watching from the sidelines

    I’ll just copy and past something I said to somebody to somebody else

    I don’t really use sites like this… when I was younger different forums on different sites was still a thing

    I kind of out-grew that and focused on my real-world life. Got a woman, had kids, climbed the corporate ladder, etc… I get my news from RSS feeds and I spend my days actually going places and doing things. I’m still friends with people I met in elementary school. My kids have activities, I befriended other parents, etc…

    But when the World Cup rolled around, this time, I’m high enough up the corporate ladder that not only do I get to work from home but I don’t really have scheduled work hours any more. I have tasks that need to be done but when I do them is up to me and if my board items are clear I don’t have anything to do. So this year I thought I’d watch the games and post about them on reddit… but that turned out to be a shit-show. Turns out reddit is a terrible place

    So some quick research said, “try Lemmy”

    I like that Lemmy is smaller, reminds me more of the forum days… but the people here don’t seem any different than the people on reddit; there’s just less of them

    Nobody seems happy. In fact, they seem to get joy out making everything out to be as bad as it can possible be.

    I just looked it up: 61% of the world watched at least one world cup game and at any give time around half the worlds population was watching. That’s fucking awesome that we do this. Half the world was cheering with me, dancing with me, partying with me… countries have ended wars in the past to participate… and the internet is full of people who think that sucks. Not just think it sucks, but think it’s cool to think it sucks.

    My advice to anyone who sees this, just quit social media. That’s not new information, you hear it all the time… it’s even starting to be banned for children it’s so bad… but seriously. Give it up. This is no way to live. A past-time where this kind of constant negativity is being thrown in your face is no way to live.

  • 61% of the worlds population watched at least one World Cup game this year.

    If you had sat down and watched even a single game, at that point in time, people all over the world, lots of them, were watching that same game with you. They were cheering with you. They danced in the streets, threw parties, and just generally celebrated with you. Literally a global celebration that you were invited too

    It’s such a big deal that, in the past, countries have literally ended wars with each other in order to participate

    Being the weird-o kid that pretends like he’s too cool to go that party because “AcTuAlLy ThErE’s CoRrUpTiOn” is not nearly as cool as you think it is




  • Garfield is notorious for being lame to the point where there are no real jokes… Garfield comics are just Garfield saying the same thing everybody says

    For instance, I googled “Garfield Comic” and the first one that showed up was Garfield walking up to a mirror, Looking in the mirror, walking away from the mirror, and the last panel had Garfield think, “when did the cat in that mirror get so old?”

    There’s nothing to that comic, It could have been one panel if you really wanted it to be and that “joke” is the same thing my Grandma said when we walked past a store with a reflective window

    And that’s all this PizzaCake comic is

    Literally everybody was like, “if they’re so proud why do they cover their face?” – it’s the political equivalant of, “If it didn’t ring up it must be free”

    This shit sucks

    PizzaCake is political Garfield

    It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it’s not edgy, it’s not smart… it’s the predictable safe, tired, thing and for some reason people eat it up

    “HAHA, Mondays do suck!”

    “Right, why cover your face if you’re so proud?”

    Genius level creativity here, definitely not the same tired joke everyone makes all of the time and have been making for years
