Dailies, and other similar grinds, are one of the worst crimes against humanity in mmos. Surely we can move beyond the ‘take twenty hours to level up your character so you can progress’ idea that crystallized in jrpgs and now sits in the center of the late game experience like a giant aragog sucking your enjoyment. Let me just log in and raid, gorramit!

Okay, look, I loved my grandparents, but spending time with them at the end was horrifying and I really would have watched paint dry in preference.

Kids, dogs, and partner could also have some time off my hands by taking care of certain limited tasks. Cooking, cleaning, wiping ass… Don’t tell me you want to cook every breakfast, lunch, and dinner compared to playing a board game with the dog while the android dices your onions and peppers and the partner and kids take a nap on the ceiling.

I’m halfway with you, and halfway just considering that people think it’s relevant to include a tl;dr in a barely three paragraph comment. The feeling with tl;dr for me is a summary similar to a closing paragraph, and if anyone thinks that one sentence (“Ai coding can help a lot in accelerating software development.”) is somehow worthy of being summarized as if the point was proven (“Ai can be very powerful in the right hands”)… well, it sounds like shit because it is shit. Maybe it’s ai, maybe it’s just a really rushed dude making a throwaway comment in the fediverse, and maybe it’s just a person who is confident enough in their mind that they forget they haven’t made an actually decent argument outside of their past, and concluding as if they brought that past argument forth here is eye-raising.

Considering he’s on his own instance… I’m going to bet the context is somewhere between throwaway comment and invoking past assertions without citing them.

What kind of engineer? Because while the physical world, with all of its mechanical and civil and aerospace engineers, has its shit figured out with professional standards and very clearly defined responsibilities and duties, the world of social engineers, tire engineers, procurement engineers, supply chain engineers, sandwich engineers, project engineers, lead engineers, and yes, software engineers, definitely is a little too loose with any definition for me to care that these ceos were once ‘engineers.’

Yes.

To comment on what you said, how is it people can argue all day long like morons and dig into their beliefs, but somehow AI manages to change peoples minds and get them to think differently? What exactly is it doing?

Acting like a servant, confidante, therapist/authority figure, and your best friend, while appearing to be competent and knowledgeable about everything that passes through your mind. And it does it in a way that no human could mimic, because it doesn’t have it’s own thoughts, doesn’t get tired, and is never gone when you come looking for it.

A chatbot can agree with you a hundred times over and simply move you along one step at a time in those hundred times. A human would lose their shit and walk away groaning the moment you try to tell them that the sky is actually down, and the ground ‘up,’ and it’s all just a matter of perspective.

Positive affirmations are very much embedded in the core of a person’s psyche. Chatbots are nearly obsequious in how much they will fawn over the user.

I found an industrial sized box of them, and snapped them up. I’ve been doling them out to some poor ozzies stuck in my neck of the woods for months now. I think the end price was about two dollars a box.

I typically like my food desserts, compared to my just desserts. What is your issue with food desserts? Key lime pies not for you? Tres leches cakes send you into a spiral? Do peach cobblers drive you wild? Is a bowl of ice cream with sprinkles worse than jezebel outside your window?

I can tell you from personal experience that there exists a very happy corporate servant who is happy to give footage to police. The security cameras in some stores are shit because the owner is cheap (this is the case with most gas stations).

Finally, a practical reason to have a flipper zero or similar.

Good choice of product to care about.

I bought one. It was fine. I didn’t love the operation. It cut the whole top off from the side, rather than from the top in a downwards cut. The sharp edges were on the can rather than on the lid. It would catch the paper labels and sometimes wad them up into the can while you cut. Cans with no air space would leak when opened.

That sounds like a really shitty one, actually. The can openers that operate on the side of the can should uncrimp the top, not actually cut into the can.

Walmart didn’t even touch amazon on this. There were articles for years about how mind boggling (and the articles were praising, not even critical of) it was that amazon’s investors were content to let bezos run amazon on a net zero or even negative profit model. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of walmart not pulling a profit.

Valve’s not a good guy, but your attempt to “reframe the perspective” is lacking a major detail. If amazon were to simply GIVE you the product after you’ve paid the competitor then it’s quite a different story… yet that’s what steam will do.

The os provider is the one who installs it on your computer…

>.>

Well, looks like the ‘above 18’ box was checked by the os provider on my computer, I’m good to go!

That’s what the paid 24/7 nanny is for.

Lulz, that was such a good movie. I’m still annoyed by the nukes somehow needing the code to explode apparently uploaded to them at the very last second, but that’s just a small quibble. Plus it was the first time I got to see machine gun rabbit, so that was a real treat.

It still happens on fucking lemmy of all places. Looking at that stupid cbsnews url with revulsion…
