  • Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with "In conclusion, ..." followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.

  • English isn't my first language. What does "tossing one's hair" mean?

  • No, it would just be the 🤣 emoji in different colors.

  • I wouldn't even call this "aesthetics". Rather "conceptual homogeneity" or something like that. It's what happens when you strive for a uniform look over a useful or visually pleasing one.

  • Trump choosing his VP:

    Give me the hillbilly.

    I said the real hillbilly.

    Perfection.

  • I swear my upstairs neighbors have bowling balls where other people have feet.

  • Thank you for the warning. I almost received free and convenient access to a large catalog of academic articles, and no one wants that.

  • I like the position held by NOYB: Providers of websites that show either a restricted ad-supported version or an unrestricted subscription-based version of the site should be required to offer a third option that is restricted and ad-free for a fee that equals the market value of the information sold to advertisers (usually a few cents per month and per user).

  • Let them get all this alpha/beta male crap out if they want to. Nothing says "weird" better than applying to people what was initially intended (and is now widely rejected) as a description of social dynamics among canines.

  • "You should clean this shit lol my legs barely fit"

    Kidding of course. Cats always find the most effective way to disrupt what you're doing, regardless of what your desk looks like.

  • usually

    Is tens of thousands of votes getting invalidated a thing that regularly happens in US elections?

  • 40,000 seems low considering how many non-voters there still regularly are. If they succeed with this, the Dem team should make it their mission to find every disenfranchised voter and recruit them for their campaign, so every vote that was lost turns into two new votes.

  • I mean, a person with a mental disability probably won't do something like this. A narcissistic billionaire who strongly overestimates his cognitive abilities on the other hand absolutely would.

  • Perfect example that "popularized" is different from "popular".

  • Nerds fix stuff around the house? Girl, I couldn't even repair that plumbing if I wanted to. This is a job for a professional.

  • Considering that Vance's biggest accomplishment so far is writing a best-selling book, in which he cosplays as a poor person while trashing rural Americans, this about checks out.

  • This type of deep, academic discussion is why I joined Lemmy.
