I think the common denominator for all these things are people. People are pretty terrible in large numbers behind anonymity.

That’s actually how I do my Lemmy feed. I have one chance to comment on a thread and if I don’t do it, when the page refreshes I lose it forever.
I’ve learned to accept that there are just some things the universe never wanted me to comment on.
They’ve got a lot more resolve than I do. I’d have walked out long before this point, but had I been told that before going out on my run, I would have literally walked out there and then.
I’ve walked out of jobs for less.
Summer was hard on me in my teenage goth years.
Can’t really get many light shades of black.
What I find interesting as fuck about this is that the car depicted is clearly a Jaguar XJ220.
Why, out of every car they could have chosen, did they decide on one of the rarest cars on Earth?
Give her an apple from me 💕
Again remember that freedom of expression is freedom to not be punished by the government for that expression.
Private companies are not concerned with your freedoms.
Not saying I agree with how things are, just saying how it is. Only way to tell a private company to fuck off is to not use them.
Doesn’t need to be “intelligent”, it needs to be fit for purpose, and it clearly is.
The closest comparison you made was to the cyoa book, but that’s only for the part where it gives me options. It has to have the “intelligence” to decipher what I’m asking it and then give me the options.
The fact it can do that faster and more efficiently than a human is exactly what I’d expect from it. Things don’t have to be groundbreaking to be useful.
To be fair, it is useful in some regards.
I’m not a huge fan of Amazon, but last time I had an issue with a parcel it was sorted out insanely fast by the AI assistant on the website.
Within literally 2 minutes I’d had a refund confirmed. No waiting for people to eventually pick up the phone after 40 minutes. No misunderstanding or annoying questions. The moment I pressed send on my message it instantly started formulating a reply.
The truncated version went:
“Hey I meant to get [x] delivery, but it hasn’t arrived. Can I get a refund?”
“Sure, your money will go back into [y] account in a few days. If the parcel turns up in the meantime, you can send it back by dropping it off at [z]”
Done. Absolutely painless.
It’s OP’s picture turned upside down!
On first glance, you can almost believe it.
Imagine having to remove a bunch of shit just so you can use your OS. smh
Luckily, there exists an OS which undermines extreme enshittification. Can’t remember the name, though …
I’m still quite happy using weird in a positive light. I feel context is always important for a word. Plenty of words have double meanings depending on context.

I’m a driving instructor and I believe automated roads would be a godsend. I’d actually be happy the day I don’t have to do my job, not because I hate it - I actually love my job - but because automated roads would be so much safer overall.
I thought we were just memeing orb-pondering? Apparently the scientists are at it, too!
Ironically, the only game I’ve ever damaged my own stuff over was a sportsball game.
Most games you fuck up due to your own incompetence, but football games and the like make you feel like you could do nothing wrong in a game and still lose. It’s infuriating.
