But who is going around asking these bots to specifically do math? Like in normal usage, Ive never once done that because I could just use a calculator or spreadsheet software if I need to get fancy lol

Function calling is a thing chatbots can do now

I feel like the majority of Lemmy users are non-religious and definitely a good bit of us are antireligion, so when you make a post sorta outlining that modern Christianity is better then a more egalitarian and less dogmatic society it doesn't sit well.

Not sure if that's the case fully, and you're only at like -2/3 lol

"why would you buy a headless rabbit as a pet?"

Fair enough

I suppose my point is if we put any cause of rising prices under the "inflation" umbrella, it gives people the wrong idea as to the cause. Rather then just specifying what is causing prices to rise, people just say "it's inflation."

That is an extremely simplified take of what inflation is.

Here's a fun example as to why just saying "inflation means prices go up" doesn't make sense, what happens when a group of companies conspire to raise prices simultaneously? Is that inflation or is that price fixing? https://www.propublica.org/article/yieldstar-rent-increase-realpage-rent

Except that's not what happened, companies used the slowdowns in shipping from Covid shutdowns as an excuse to raise prices, then never lowered them. This isn't inflation, this was intentionally planned, don't belive me? Listen to their fucking earnings calls specifically saying it out loud.

I always had a hard time with this one, I just say successful lmao.

I don't know the ins and outs of your company, what any kind of progression may look like, what opportunities will present themselves, etc, the question just always seemed odd.

I would imagine because the language is directly related to the stats, rather then the location of the country persay

Lol if it was an intentional effect that would be pretty funny.

Just go on fdroid or something, I don't understand why android app devs just give up with the play store. I get the reach is minimized but let's be real, the reach for this kind of app is already limited.

We are still allowed to sideload apps on Android, and the more projects on Fdroid or other alternative repos the better.

This is the most insidious line of reasoning that has prevailed our culture, fighting back against evil corporations is actually bad because the people whose labor they exploit will no longer be employed.

Look, that sucks, but can you not see that just allowing these corporations to continue unchecked is exactly what lead us to this situation in the first place? It's simply another way to sow division.

The obvious answer within the current system would be having robust government systems to assist with finding a new job and ensuring bills are paid in the interim but that's evil socialism.

I'd go even further and say the whole fucking concept is rotten to the core

He got put in jail initially because of dealing weed, feel like that's a fine reason to commute a sentence.

I truly have to wonder if he's always been a piece of shit or if jail made him worse.

I agree there isn't an easy answer, I just don't think giving them power over the words is actually helping anyone, because it does turn into the SJW situation like you pointed out.

Humungus Wut intensifies

It devolved into people MAKING problems were there wasn't actually one by assuming negative intent.

Yeah right on!

Can't you self host ente? I thought you could

Self host options exist

Counter point, how would they possibly know unless you were federally investigated in some way.

I am talking more generally, not just you in this instance.

We shouldn't keep seeding ground to fascists over which words are "theirs" a simple and inconsequential example is Pepe the frog, there is nothing inherently racist about it and there are hordes of wholesome pepe memes, but someone decided that because it also gets coopted by fascists and racists that now pepe is actually a symbol for racism.

This is idiotic that we are HANDING bad actors the right to own words and ideas by self policing.
