A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Notepad++ is just, a top tier app
TBH, tech companies showing AI down our throats is still no good, open-source alternative existing or not.
DRM wasn't good either, tech companies are just really creative at making their products worse.
People are allowed to want what they're comfortable with to not be riddled with llms
On the subject of Foss and AI - one of the G summer of code projects is about integrating an AI voice platform into Neochat and I'm somewhere between bemused and amused by the lack of reaction from de KDE/Plasma community
I would be happy if more and normal people were actually mad at ai.
I would be happy with more nuanced takes on AI.
Instead of just "All AI is worse than the devil and is killing babies" or "All AI is the pinnacle of humanity and is the next step in our evolution".
LLMs have a place, but it is not in every product imaginable.
When someone can produce an LLM that doesn't use more power than entire small nations to spew out bullshit, then we can start inviting nuance. Unfortunately, we have to be pragmatic here; and the consequences of lots of GenAI are way worse than returning to no GenAI.
Obviously, this doesn't include pattern recognition or protein folding AI.
That also misses the point. If we want to pull the world out of poverty and into prosperity we're going to need an astonishing amount of power. The only key is to make power that is sustainable so that things requiring a lot of power aren't given a second thought. The thing you're mad at are massive corporations putting the cart waaaaaay before the horse. And yes, please be mad at them for that.
Fingers crossed it'll end up like crypto. Here to stay in the world of finance, no longer in every product that never needed it.
Normal people are losing themselves in AI. I’ve seen multiple instances of people using LLM to fact check someone. Endless “uhh, but I asked ChatGPT and it said blablabla” making me lose faith in humanity.
I don’t keep the kind of company that goes “well chatGPT says” if I’m being honest. Though I imagine that’s more of a “yet” statement.
Yeah it's become impossible to have philosophical discussions, although this truly does seem limited to the virtual world (i.e. via text, online, etc.). If I were to go have some drinks with a friend and they busted out some LLM to take part in our discussion I would chastise them endlessly for it.
Honestly its not much different from a google search and reading some nonsense written by someone who has no authority in the subject. As long as it reinforces their belief itll be true in their eyes
I'm chill with the amount of ai duckduckgo has, because its not in your face and it can be easily disabled.
Yeah but duckduckgo has loads of adds now, too
last I checked you can disable that? or has that changed?
My dude, you can be mad at AI and use a FOSS alternative - best of both worlds
Unpopular opinion, but it's also fine to hate having AI being added to a tried and true industry standard. FOSS is great, and I use many FOSS programs, but it's often a decade behind in features, compatibility, & stability.
Example I always give is GiMP. Great team, great software, but also 10 years behind photoshop. Great for hobbyists and slightly above but professionals simply can’t use it as a daily driver.
Yea, not everything is a binary choice.
This is Lemmy, which is a byproduct of Reddit, and both of them have generally devolved into worlds of black and white only, although here tends to at least still have some nuance.
You just did it lol
It's catching, I tell you!
Yeah, but some things are. It’s like, things are either a binary choice or they’re not. Whoa 🤯
What people really want is to not have to change anything - neither about their lives, nor about themselves.
They want to live in a perpetual 2005 where Windows is forever usable and still just an operating system. Where they feel happy and comfortable in their environment and their skills and abilities.
And I get that, because I feel it too.
But sometimes you have to change yourself, in order to change your world.
Why are the robots making art? Why are the humans packing the boxes?…
Because hardware is more difficult to develop than software.
Exactly, we should focus on the highest paid jobs first! Automate the bankers and executives!
Because development of mechanical devices does not hype investors nearly as much
Next version of npp should reference this comic.
It's all fun and games until ai is mad at you
Wait who doesn't already use Notepad++? It's even part of the standard install image at my job, and we have MS365 accounts already
