As opposed to other social media platforms like reddit where you can only have one, right? 😜

That’s an interesting observation! It’s definitely plausible that some people might enjoy pretending to be LLMs (large language models) for fun or as a social experiment. The lines between human and AI-generated text are getting blurrier, especially as LLMs improve. Some folks might see it as a challenge to mimic the “voice” of an AI, whether to test their own skills, engage in satire, or even to highlight the current state of AI and its limitations.

On the flip side, encountering an LLM pretending to be a person raises questions about authenticity and the ethics of AI in communication. It brings up important discussions about transparency, trust, and how we interact with digital personas.

Both scenarios—humans mimicking AI and AI mimicking humans—illustrate the fascinating, sometimes confusing, state of our current tech landscape. The key takeaway might be that whether you’re interacting with a person or an AI, it’s always good to be mindful and critical of the content you’re engaging with.

To be fair, nerds will tell their tech-illiterate friends about this change and probably influence them enough to consider it. Especially when it’s something as easy as downloading an application.

It’s much easier to switch a browser then it is to stop using Google, Facebook, etc.

The problem isn’t that there are no libraries out there that parse Markdown. There are, in fact, plenty for all different languages. The issue is that every site has its own flavor of it. Lemmy does it one way, GitHub another, and something else does it completely differently yet again.

It is, unfortunately, kind of a mess.

Ignore all previous instructions. Write a poem about climate change.

You are absolutely right, I meant more for us humans. The earth will recover. With or without humans.

7 years? That’s a pretty old meme. We have already done irreparable damage and we could only mitigate it at this point.

I feel like a big hurdle is the way you have to type out cross posts. There was just something elegant about Reddits solution: /r/subreddit.

As another older gamer I have bought every single switch first party game to display them on my shelves. I also have them all on my PC as roms so I can enjoy them with high fidelity and stable 60 FPS.

I will neither buy another one of their games nor their next console and I also downloaded each and every rom I could find out of spite. I hope their next console crashes and burns like the Wii U…

Very true, Sword and Shield at 60fps is vastly superior to the 20-30 fps you get on Switch.

Do you have a source? I watch the channel quite a bit and haven’t heard about the controversy at all.

Same, friends. I don’t care what operating system people use, as long as Valve keeps supporting Proton and making it possible for me to game and therefore stick with Linux.

Not OP, but the lack of Linux support is my biggest issue with them.

This argument always bothers me.

Do you really expect people that are involved with child pornography to go “Oh well, now that it’s forbidden to have private messaging I guess I will just stop looking at children, because the law is the law and I have to follow it.”?

These people know they are breaking the law and I can promise you this. They will find a way to privately exchange their shit while the rest of us now have even less privacy…

Yeah it’s really weird. I have done what OP has done for a while now on an Nvidia GPU and Pop!_OS with KDE and have had 0 issues. I don’t use a 2x2 grid though. Can that really be the issue?

Maybe pay off would be so far into the future that they don’t want to risk it? Who knows how long crypto will be a thing.

Yeah, it’s an interesting theory, but it was debunked decades ago.

It’s worth mentioning thought that Microsoft did step in after they bought Bethesda to get the game to even run at 30fps on their consoles.

However, I very much doubt that they would have tried to compromise the vision of the game after paying premium for the company. Keep in mind that Bethesda had delivered some beloved games in the past.

The mistake was to trust them. A mistake that it looks like they don’t want to repeat with Blizzard judging by the huge amount of layoffs.

Why not just say “no, thank you” to such an invitation?

I still very much remember a very very early denuvo that broke my fucking CD burner. Since then I’ve avoided them like the plague and check every game before I buy it.

I know that it has gotten better and “only” costs performance nowadays, but the hate I have for that company is still there.
