  • That's because it's a programmed response.

    There literally is no concept of a joke in their algorithms, it's an advanced chat bot basically going through a list of responses and comparing them similar questions it as analyzed, and spits out the answer that is likely to match.

    Take a giant spreadsheet with two columns. First one is questions, and the second is responses. Compare queries against first column. When a close match is found, prints out what is in the second column. That's an extreme simplification of what ChatGPT does. It was never programmer to know or understand what is in either column.

  • For context, my account is over 15 years old, it has over $6k spent, and almost all of that is in the last decade. And it still comes out to under $50 a month, with thousands of hours played across a bunch of games.

    For comparison, I know people who spend much more on their hobbies with car, bicycle, home theater equipment, etc. each year

  • As the old saying goes: Don't feed the trolls.

    Replying as if half the comment doesn't exist and putting the word intelligent in quotes is a classic antagonizing move by trolls to make people try to engage them.

  • It's banned in several European countries like Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Norway, Iceland and Greece. And it's pending legislation in several others. As to why it wasn't EU law already: Some of the legislations are pretty new so it wasn't considered as something the majority would approve until they started implementing their own laws. On top of that several EU countries have pretty strong homophobic communities.

    Countries like Poland. In 2020 the EU was witholding funding for parts of Poland, because they established "LGBT-free zones". And the last one was only made invalid by the Administrative court last month.

  • People need to stop acting like it's some scary thing to know.

    Don't just open it, see thousands of dollars spent, react like it is some huge expenditure and close it without thinking things through. Don't forget that the account is years old and when you do some simple division it going to come out to $30 a month or some number that is reasonable for you to spend on a hobby that you have spent hundreds to thousands of hours enjoying.

  • To be fair, Ben & Jerry's is owned by Unilever. And if one of those leaders showed up it might have been different, but they're mostly British and don't care.

    (For reference, there's more than a 50% chance you have some of their products in your home, as they "serve" over 3bill people a day. With brands like Knorr, Jif, Hellman's, Lipton, Axe, Q-Tips, Dove, Vaseline, and many, many more. They are the world largest ice cream manufacturer.If you look at your local brands, at least one probably has the "heartbrand" logo, indicating it's owned by them. )

  • They spent a lot of money developing it, and now they have to justify that money. So they're going to keep pushing it until some idiotic manager doesn't have red numbers in their spreadsheet. Regardless of what people want.

    I hate modern MBAs.

  • Why are they removing people from planes leaving the country to detain them.

    Wouldn’t it be better to just do the European tour and then stay in Europe at this point?

    Because it's just nazism. They want to imprison and harm non-white people, and they're using "immigration" as an excuse.

  • Indeed, the vast majority on any social media platform does not engage. And when they do it's mostly just liking content and not even replying. You see it on lemmy as well, with news articles often having few comments. And when they do it's one or two top comments and a bunch of replies.

    Over the years the only thing I can imagine is to add another anonymizing layer, where people can send in questions and the "best ones" are posted by a general/bot account. But that is something people much smarter than me have tried to figure out for years, so I have no idea how it would be implemented.

  • Is there a way to encourage people to post more? Because the main problem seems to be getting actual posts, not replies to them.

    For example "nostupidquestions" only has a few questions a day, but there are 40k subscribers and 1500 people or so checking in every day. It has 4.2k posts and 170k comments.

    "asklemmy" has more posts, fewers subscribers, and over 2k a day check in. 6k posts and 317k comments.

  • Yeah, this is why they've been spamming social media(including lemmy) with the whole "Kakistocracy" thing recently.

    They really want you to think the idiots are in charge, that way you don't try to dig deeper as the idiots chop off everything they see and some parts they're told. Just look at the Librarian of Congress thing. People were making jokes about librarians, meanwhile she was basically in charge of defining DMCA and digital copyright.

  • It's mostly just morons hacking and slashing with zero understanding. They literally just search for "climate", "trans", etc. to cut funding and remove access without checking anything, they just assume they're correct.

    And then when theyr'e called out they just lie and double down. Case in point, they refuse to admit they confused "transgenic" with "transgender" to the point where they made a post on the white house website: https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/03/yes-biden-spent-millions-on-transgender-animal-experiments/ (For reference, it was alzheimers research)

    The real scary part is that there are people who have an inkling of what they're doing, and you're not hearing much about the things they're changing.

  • Most of the adults did tell me to do better, but they also kept repeating that I had it better than they did. Which was partially true at the time depending on who said it, but they still messed things up and blame me for not fixing their mistakes.

    And what does that story have to do with generational pressure?

  • Whether out in public or in private is better, depends on context.

    Although it's probably a bit beyond social media debate. When it comes down to "seeing a strangers body floating in the river" , "finding your sibling hanging in the next room" or "found at a kindergarten playground".
