This is a good comparison if all it took for the Hindenburg to explode was just asking it to role-play as a ship that could explode. Conscious effort had to be expended to make the thing fail, but most models start to fail spectacularly if you use it in good-faith for more than like 30 minutes.
The pitch is, for those that have never coded it’s a gateway into a skill they never wanted to learn
I’m simply whelmed by it
You never hear someone ask “how can a socket wrench help us with this problem”, why do we do it with LLMs?
Spitting bars.
I’m working as a TLM for a company that’s only recently become AI maximalist… I see myself in your writing 🫠
Sweet Caroline - play it 4-5 times on repeat, then give someone false hope by throwing something in the middle before you hit them with another 4x repeat. We did this at a local ice cream shop in high school and it convinced the staff the machine was defective. They unplugged it for a few months afterward.
This seems like a really cool thing to put onto law, but I wonder 1.) If it’ll actually survive federal review, and 2.) If it’ll make a meaningful difference in the amounts of gun violence in the state. I feel cynical for saying this, but I just feel like the central role guns play in the American mythos makes it really hard to solve this cultural problem with taxation and educational campaigns.
First lemmy post!
Speaking solely wrt Lemmy, I think what’s going to happen is we won’t get the “brand recognition” of the technology like what Reddit has had. But, we’ll probably see instances get closer to that sort of broader familiarity. So someone might not exactly identify as a lemmy user, but maybe as a Beehaw user.
Anecdotally, I had to try a couple of times to fully “get in” to a Lemmy instance because I didn’t know that the hell I was doing. I had tried using gerboa as my client but couldn’t understand why I couldn’t log in or register on an instance. Then I tried again using liftoff, and it kind of clicked more easily.
Maybe email felt like this in the early 00’s? I knew what I could do with an email address (e.g. sign up for MSN and AIM), but I had no idea how to get an email address until I had my siblings walk me through it. I think if any instance can pull off a killer onboarding experience, they’ll become the Bandaid, Jello, Kleenex, etc of Lemmy.
This is what I’ve ended up doing, too. Now the only issue is that we’re missing noise suppression. The boys are not passing this year’s emissions testing.
