I, too, feel more human here fellow human 💪

I think you’re being optimistic about the number of people who both use adblockers and who care enough to switch browsers.

It’s me. I’m that guy. They’re in a garden 👍

I love a good charge back on a credit card.

Thankfully I haven’t had to do it often, but it’s nice to know I can ❤️

Not to mention the vast reserves known to be in Antarctica.

That treaty is only going to last so long before people start getting desperate and start fighting over it.

So… It’ll kill all humans!

AI solution:

He’ll be happy to let AI solve it until AI suggests we should eat the rich and distribute the wealth…

I’m subscribed to Prime because I order too much shit and want to save on delivery costs. Those little Amazon lockers are too damn convenient for me.

If I watch their content, it’s via my PC with an ad block. I stop watching their shit the day I can’t block their ads because fuck’em.

Yes.

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.

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.

Summer was hard on me in my teenage goth years.

Can’t really get many light shades of black.

Science got that revitiligo.

Give her an apple from me 💕

Yes

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.
