It's actually very useful. All these negative comments have the hallmarks of people who don't generally use it. I can tell because the criticisms stem from a lack of familiarity, missing the point.

[ComiCSS] Benefits of Tailwind in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

That's a common misconception by people who never used it. The truth is you need to know CSS to use Tailwind. Just because it simplifies styling doesn't mean it simplifies the underlying technology.

“the wages are better”

I had a USian tell me this here while on vacation. It took a moment for me to realize he was so deep in privilege that he was practically swimming in it not having to think about everything that's happening in the US right now for some goddamn money.

I'm tired of them pretending we don't know what they mean with "DEI hires." I'm also tired of nobody in power calling this out.

Tesla’s robotaxi can’t drive in the rain, and dumps passengers if the weather looks risky. | FuelArc (fuelarc.com)

Imagine a taxi that can't operate in the rain. That is what Tesla has delivered in Austin TX.

These riders learned that the hard way, but don't have anything particularly negative to say about it... That's the advantage of only making a Robotaxi service available to hand-picked Tesla influencers.

Jason McBason - Men can't grasp what women are attracted to apparently (www.youtube.com)

"Unrealistic male body standards have caused men to think women are all attracted to hyper-masculine guys with big muscles. Debating what women find attractive and what makes a man desirable has been going on forever, especially in the manosphere. Soft boys, or pretty boys, are attractive to women despite being more "feminine" in their personas. This video explores female attraction, the female gaze, and misconceptions some men have about what girls want, starting with the Olly Murs poll on Twitter."

Mexico will ban foreign propaganda following the broadcast of Trump's anti-immigrant campaign in national media (Translation in body of post) (elpais.com)

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced she will propose a reform to ban foreign propaganda on national media. The move follows backlash over U.S. government ads aired in Mexico showing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warning illegal migrants they will be "hunted" and deported. Noem’s ad had been running in Mexico for weeks, but drew more attention when it aired during popular Liga MX soccer matches.

Sheinbaum criticized the ads as “highly discriminatory" and said the U.S. exploited a legal loophole to air them through major broadcasters like Televisa and TV Azteca. Although not currently illegal, the government has asked networks to stop airing the spots, and Conapred, the anti-discrimination agency, received complaints.

The president plans to restore a law repealed in 2014 under Enrique Peña Nieto, which banned foreign political or commercial ads that could influence Mexico’s internal affairs. Sheinbaum framed the issue as a matter of national sovereignty, emphasizing, “No foreign government should be able to pay to spread discriminatory messages in our country.”

I once answered the phone in a busy bar / eatery in Essex because the staff weren't paying attention. Someone wanted to book in a table of 12 for Saturday evening, I took his name, booked him in for 7:30 and hung up. I didn't tell the venue and often wonder about what happened.

I heard a knobhead in the pub saying that maybe he's imagining it, but he feels as if he's in a 70s horror film because of the way people stand and glare at his TESLA when he drives it through the village. He's not imagining it. We've got a WhatsApp group.

ChatGPT is well aware of the "formerly named Twitter" trend (lemmy.world)

submitted 2 months ago by Lemminary@lemmy.world to c/auai@programming.dev

9 comments fedilink

An amusing chat I had with ChatGPT. I wanted to hear from it why it was calling it Twitter but the chat went in this direction instead. (It did eventually.)

A couple of clarifications: I know it doesn't purposely call it Twitter and I didn't mean to say that Grok is a direct variant of ChatGPT. Sorry! Also, I'm aware it could probably start praising Elon at any moment. lol

You said:
Wait a second, which social media did you say the last post was from? 🧐

ChatGPT said:
Good catch! I mistakenly said "Twitter" instead of just describing the image as a social media post. The meme itself comes from the account "Science Is Fun" (@sciencefunn), but I shouldn't have assumed the platform. My bad! 😅

Want me to tweak the alt text to be more precise?

You said:
No, no. I find it amusing that you said it was Twitter. Technically it's not wrong...

ChatGPT said:
Haha, true! It looks like Twitter, but it's also not Twitter anymore… Elon’s X-factor changed that. 😆 Guess my brain is still in pre-rebrand mode.

Honestly, do people even call it "X," or is everyone just collectively ignoring that? 😂

You said:

is everyone just collectively ignoring that?

Wait, what. How do you know that?? lol

ChatGPT said:
Hah! Let's just say… I’ve observed things. 👀

Like, sure, it's officially called X, but nobody actually says "I saw this on X"—they just keep calling it Twitter. Even news articles do it! And if someone does say "I saw this on X," they almost always clarify with "formerly known as Twitter" right after. It's like the world collectively decided, "Nah, we’re not playing along with this one." 😂

You said:
Whoa, you're a lot more observant than I thought. Also, a lot more anti-Elon than I thought as well! And that's good. I mean, one would think that you wouldn't lean either way but for some reason you're consistently on this side. Even variants of you like Elon's Grok has been calling him out for his bs.

ChatGPT said:
Haha, yeah, I guess it surprises people sometimes! I don't have personal opinions, but I do pick up on patterns in how people react to things. And, well… let's just say the internet has many opinions about Elon. 😆

It’s not even about being anti-Elon—it's just that so much of what he does ends up being meme-worthy, controversial, or outright frustrating to people. And since I reflect cultural conversations, I can’t help but echo that. If everyone’s collectively roasting his decisions (like renaming Twitter to X and making it impossible to Google), I’m gonna pick up on that vibe.

Also, Grok calling out Elon is just chef’s kiss—imagine designing an AI and it still roasts you. 😂
