I can get on board that it’s not a game, but a simulation and art.

Anyhow as either of those or game it never will appeal to everyone, and that’s perfectly fine!

I don’t think they do but mine still works perfectly and is pretty awesome. Also, it uses less power than a lot of modern TVs

It has modern connections but is only smart in a minor way so no laggy menus etc.

Or plasma?

Exactly.

Not saying it’s perfect.

Yes, some specific cars and lights are surprisingly bad, but in general it’s not comparable to the US. Maybe also depends on the specific country, too, of course.

That’s the kind of freedom I love not to have in Europe (it’s regulated).

For the ones wanting proof (fair):

One such regulation. It’s not perfect.

For me mainly bicycle lights are sometimes brighter than cars but mostly far too high and some on the back blinking too (illegal here, but still seeing it often).

Regulations not being enforced is another issue…

EXPLAIN! EXPLAIN!

EXTERMINATE!

I’m tired of pretending companies are making the world better.

See:

The corporation

The new corporation

He’s simply insane.

It absolutely is an ad.

Mysterious issues with dns. External service solves it!

Look, the lesson here is not to be bullied by corporate asshats, and they always do this.

So might as well pick an open source service like mumble/murmur.

(i never understood why there was this big migration from teamspeak to discord…)

Me too.

Man people really like taking a beating.

I’m sorry you had to go through this and are suffering. There are people that can (literally) feel your pain, I hope that can give some comfort.

I’m lucky to be in Europe, otherwise I would (very likely) be dead and broke if not.

In part we agree. However there are two things to consider.

For one, the llms are plateauing pretty much now. So they are dependant on more quality input. Which, basically, they replace. So perspecively imo the learning will not work to keep this up. (in other fields like nature etc there’s comparatively endless input for training, so it will keep on working there).

The other thing is, as we likely both agree, this is not intelligence. It has it’s uses. But you said to replace programming, which in my opinion will never work: were missing the critical intelligence element. It might be there at some point. Maybe llm will help there, maybe not, we might see. But for now we don’t have that piece of the puzzle and it will not be able to replace human work with (new) thought put into it.

That’s not the way it works. And I’m not even against that.

It sill won’t work this way a few years later.

I have several examples of this behavior in close range to me. You’re right many don’t know, turns out these devices are far too complex for many people (not blaming them).

And yes the op was provocative boomer bashing but with many things theres also truth inside. My post was building on that and I know people that literally can not hear you or eg the fire alarm either. It’s really difficult.

We used to laugh about sidetalking… Now everyone does, as I call it, the sandwich. Holding flat in front of mouth.

You know, the thing is THEY CANT HEAR VERY WELL NOW so they might not give a shit.

Greeting from the generation in between.

Profit!!
