I’m not even reading that article because, no. But I’m all for an award system here on lemmy. All money goes to the instance hoster and the user gets badges, maybe a highlighted name. The most gilded users get entered into a giveaway every month or so for something like a T-shirt.
That’s allows for the instances to sustain themselves and gives users more incentive to post, without stupid subscriptions and promoting content farming.
There’s no way they used Gemini and decided it’s better than GPT.
I asked Gemini: “Why can great apes eat raw meat but it’s not advised for humans?”. It said because they have a “stronger stomach acid”. I then asked “what stomach acid is stronger than HCL and which ones do apes use?”. And was met with the response: “Apes do not produce or utilize acids in the way humans do for chemical processes.”.
So I did some research and apes actually have almost neutral stomach acid and mainly rely on enzymes. Absolutely not trustworthy.
Yes, I tried the mastodon app probably about 4 years ago before I knew what federation was. I could not figure out how to sign up and ultimately gave up. There needs to be an app/website that explains it well and guides you through the process.
And honestly both bluesky and mastodon do a poor job if this.
Twitter allows porn now, no?
I swear this was supposed to release tomorrow
It’s as much on the customers as it is on the workers. Why continue supporting companies that don’t pay livable wages?
Should a self-driving car face more rigorous tests than actual human drivers? Honest question.
Ah, ok.
You could find much better property for $100,000 in Mississippi.
If it was anywhere except Mississippi.
Let’s not even talk about Visa and MasterCard. They could choose to end your business at any time.
I like, but this is something parents should enforce, not the government.
No way that game has enough content or is complex enough to justify 135GB. What it is is unoptimized crap. And since storage keeps getting cheaper studios have no incentive to fix it.
There’s 1TB SATA SSDs for $35 at my local best buy.
Where’s the funny?
The novelty has worn off. I jumped on board and tried out every bot when they were first released: Bard, Bind, Snapchat, GPT—I’ve given them all a go.
It was a fun experience, asking them to write poems or delve into the mysteries of consciousness, as I got to know their individual personalities. But now, I mainly use them for searching niche topics or checking grammar, maybe the occasional writing.
In fact, this very comment was reformated in Bard for instance. Though, since Google integrated their LLM into search (via Labs), I use them even less.
Are they stupid? In fairness, I don’t know how they’re making any money at all. I’ve never seen anyone interact with the discover feed and therefore see ads. There really isn’t a way to monetize Snapchat without killing it off.
