  • Needed? No

    Directly inspired? Literally yes. Look up a communicator and compare it to an early flip phone, for example. Also the nerds who did it admitted it lol

  • Every manager I've encountered requires unlocking before it'll fill anything in, meaning it is MFA usually

    The 3 factor types are something you are, know, and have. On my phone for example I unlock my device with a pin code and my password manager with biometrics (know & are)

    It gets iffier on desktop devices for sure but if you get a cheapo fingerprint scanner you can make it guaranteed MFA ezpz, unlock the PC with your fingerprint and enter your password to get to the password manager

  • There's also been an upsetting trend of smash burgers taking over every fucking restaurant. Ridiculously wide and flat patties that have a lot of flavor but it feels like you're eating a fried piece of cheese rather than a good burger.

    If your smash burger is thin then they're not doing it right

    Been smash cooking burgers since I was 8 (fuck me 21 years?! MY BURGER COOKING CAN DRINK?!) and never had a thin burger as a result

  • I'm deeply troubled by the obscene power use.

    Thankfully decent models run locally prove that using AI is less bad than gaming on a decent rig for a few minutes, but training and how many people are using it for literally no good reason are how we get the huge energy spike

  • First of all stop calling it AI. It is just large language models for the most part.

    Leave it to the anti-AI people to show their misunderstandings fast and early. LLMs are AIs, they're not general AIs

  • Finally got it working just in time for life to implode again so I just powered it down and unplugged everything again.

    This time I'm probably just gonna huck it out a window or into the trash

  • Ive referenced it in other posts, follow the link in OP to the begging thread and scroll to the comments, I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for if the comments weren't removed

  • I’ve blocked so many of those

    Disable bot accounts for yourself if you don't want to see them, like I already said

  • Lemmy devs are awesome

    Lol, absolutely not

    Lemmy is great

    That I can actually agree on

  • This is so dismissive

    It's all the complaint deserves

    We need more people to be the second and third person to join and help communities that someone else is trying to start

    Sounds like you need to let your sports-liking associates elsewhere know about the platform to help with your problem, rather than whinge that the already existing userbase doesn't like what you do

  • I didn't say that wasn't true, but if it's the go-to phrase of the masses then it's accurate to put it in an NPC meme. People who dislike AI but don't understand the tech enough to actually understand why usually give that answer, whereas people with actual knowledge on the subject tend to put more nuance into even their shorter replies on the topic

  • I've literally seen that argument repeated almost verbatim in so many comment sections AND in real life

    Like, I can understand why people don't like AI, but the memes fuckin accurate

  • The AI is "smart" enough to get by context what he's asking for, in much the same way we believe humans do

    He asked for a meme of a man squinting, anyone familiar with meme culture is gonna think of Fry & Professor Chang first, and context of "not sure if" gives the game away that it's the Fry meme

    That part is what makes AI actually interesting as a technology, homie

  • Chatbots: Fuck you

    Really? Honestly it's the most innocent use if you're not the kind of person to get hooked on them

    Image AI: Fuck you

    I get why people have this harsh stance, but without my locally-hosted AI doing concept work for me then my avatar as you see it here wouldn't exist nor would an artist be considerably more wealthy than they were before I commissioned them. I get that I'm in the minority by a wide margin, but people like me exist in decent amounts too

    Commercial AI in general: And fuck you, I'm out!

    Yeah, commercial AI is the problem. I cannot begin to understand being upset at someone running it locally and not for profit though, which happens a lot

    ETA: Case in point - the dipshits who downvoted me for this. Good job not using y'all's brains

  • Gimp 3.0 is finally actually something you could use to make something quickly

    It still makes some baffling decisions (seriously I fucking hate that deselect is CTRL+SHIFT+D and not CTRL+D. I get why, shift is the "opposite" modifier, but GIMP is the only software I use that does this) and isn't perfect, but for meme making and general Internet use it's probably at long-last ready

  • If someone thinks you're a loser for liking Animaniacs (can't speak for the reboot tho) then they're the fuckin loser even by normal society standards, fuck em
