Except that anyone who can use it properly can also just do the job without it, and the amount of damage it is doing because it’s freely available to everyone is insane.

You’re completely ignoring all my arguments. This sorta makes sense since your original reply was very “just ignore the bad stuff and it’s good!” but you’re going to have to address those things. I meanc, you did say “they’re bogus” and then not elaborate at all, but I’m assuming that if you have the energy to continuing writing comments then you would also have the energy to do the far more efficient thing and show me why those studies are bogus, right?

The fact that even a million people voted for this guy is a testament to the rampant stupidity of the US. People in the US forget that even your “left” is a pretty pathetic showing to the point that they forget precisely how embarrassing it should be that even a handful of people voted for such an obvious goon. Trump ran on a platform befitting a crazed independent who might get a dozen votes and was TWICE voted in by the millions.

The US DID vote for this because no amount of trickery aside from actually just taking the country by force should ever allow for an even moderately intelligent country to see such insanity given so much power. These people shouldn’t even be able to be placed on the political spectrum to be taken with any amount of seriousness and yet.

I hate the US, but even moreso I hate all the people spending all this energy try to deflect blame. It’s got “not all men” energy and it’s fucking disgusting.

How many assumptions am I making? Everyone I’ve known to sleep with a mattress on the floor is at least minorly gross, and I made exceptions for a properly used Japanese futon.

And as far as the guy in the comic is concerned it’s got that energy of those dudes who go on social media and proudly claim that it’s “normal” to shit their pants and have dirty skid-marked underwear. It’s not “minimalism” if it’s less of a choice and more a complete lack of ability.

Ok but we know that it’s very often wrong and tries too hard to make you feel good instead of actually giving correct answers. It makes up reasons for made-up sayings, often struggles with math, and has a whole host of other issues while acting fully confident in its infallibility. We have several studies that seem to show that its use is having a negative affect on ohr critical thinking skills as well. After all that it doesn’t even provide a service that’s worth anything even if it didn’t come with all those downsides. Using a search engine just isn’t that difficult and AI “art” is a goddamn cancer.

It’s terrible for us and we don’t even need it! No, fuck “AI”. We have a big enough problem with people trying to find the easy way out to such a degree that they refuse to learn how anything works and slapping a big “do it for me” button on everything is just insane. I’m not saying that everything needs to difficult but we are so averse to even the slightest challenge that it leaves us with nothing but a complete lack of basic skills and an assload of insecurity.

Renting is important to have available but it absolutely does not need to be at the level its at. The amount of people paying for someone else’s investment while wishing they could own something of their own is crazy and it’s insane that we’ve normalized that. And all the while they’re just hoping nothing goes wrong because it seems like even the “good” landlords are hit-or-miss when it comes to getting them to do literally anything. Mine’s usually pretty good but right now there’s a fucking hole in the foundation and getting them to properly address it is a hurdle I shouldn’t have to go through. In order for these buildings to be profitable the tenants need to not only pay for those issues you mentioned but now they’re also paying for someone else’s salary AND in the end that person gets to sell the building and keep all that money, too.

The reason the housing market is fucked in the US and Canada is becauss there are very few rent controls and a lot of the power sides with the landlords. In Montréal you have to be worried about going taking them to court because future landlords can just look up if you’ve ever done anything and deny you a place to live even if the problem was your current landlord is dogshit. Oh, and there’s a new law that’s around landlords being able to use necessary renovations as excuses to raise your rent! They have all the power and it doesn’t matter if they’re big or small, it’s a “business” that attracts the kind of people who don’t mind making easy money off of making you pay for their stuff.

Your landlord(probably) isn’t going to let you hit it because you’re glazing them on Lemmy. Stand up for yourself and others, even if you got lucky with a landlord who is considered good because they don’t throw a hissy fit when you ask them to do their fucking job.

Bro if you wanna live like you’re camping in a tent fine but don’t expect people to like it. I mean not even a sheet? Nothing? How does he wash it? If you can’t even wash the top the layer why on earth should anyone want to sleep on it? At least with the Japanese futon, if you do it right, it can look nice and purposeful but even then you should have real sheets for it and it can be rolled up, unlike this thing. I know someone who does the futon thing and their place is actually pretty nice and purposeful, not cobbled together garbage.

Even brand new an Ikea Tarva frame just isn’t that expensive and it’s nice, solid wood. I replaced the legs with $8 of 2x2 from Home depot so it’s nice and tall for me since I’m tall and hate having to get UP out of bed.

The biggest reason, of course, is because it almost always comes with an overarching theme of disgusting living habits. It’s not great on its own but when it brings all its dirty-ass friends you’re in for a bad time.

Back during the peak of the 51st state shit and all that there were US citizens saying “damn I guess you gotta come put us out of our misery, huh?” and it’s like no, ya’ll need to clean up your own messes. Canadians won’t come fix their shit because it’s not our problem and they’ll never learn if we have to keep propping them up and keeping them safe from consequences.

How useful is it really? I constantly hear about it being wrong and I’m not so stupid that I can’t handle a search through Wikipedia on my own.

Why should accept this thing that is of such little benefit to my life? Why should I accept this thing that is constantly wrong? Why should I accept this thing that just allows uncreative and insecure people to fill the internet full of garbage?

If you need AI as it is to help you do things then I pity you greatly.

So many people just immediately gave into ChatGPT, I doubt Microsoft’s actions will do that much damage. Besides, for anyone not using it it’s pretty easy to ignore. I don’t do a single thing on my PC that requires much beyond opening a game or Firefox so I don’t feel the pressure to leave at the moment.

Speed bumps, maybe, but they keep on being able to do stuff without consequence. People are still disappearing, there’s some tepid resistance from a couple centrist governors, and your economy is doing terribly yet he’s still very free to fuck around and post AI shit-bomb videos.

The only thing keeping him from anything is his own disastrous health and the “elite”, the real kings in the US are still allowed to do whatever the hell they want without any major pushback.

Let’s not get too far from the comment I replied to which was about something small being what brings it all down despite that not at all being the case. People aren’t afraid Trump, they’re afraid of the goons armed with guns that will do whatever the fuck he says and don’t give a shit that he’s a child rapist so long as they get a paycheck to go hurt people. We can post all the memes we want but at some point something has to happen about it.

Ya’ll’re acting so frickin’ tough for people that are generally regarded these days as being largely spineless. Farmers in France dumped shit on the roads when they were pissed, it doesn’t have to be violent but you better start causing problems.

Buddy open your eyes. You literally brought up the busted escalator that very clearly did not bring down Trump. Neither have his myriad of other on-air disasters and the party obssessed with screaming about child abuse has done nothing about his obvious attachement to Epstein.

We have loads of pictures on the internet of Putin in his stupid high-heels because he’s insecure about his height. I wouldn’t go around waving that shit around in the Red Square, obviously, but it’s not like they’re going around shooting everyone who might have seen a meme.

The evidence is right their in front of your eyes. You ignoring it is not a gotcha.

Yea, he really got SLAMMED by the escalator fiasco. Or literally anything else in the last [his entire life].

What rock you livin’ under?

If you want to be fair, you’ve got it completely backwards. Tesla wasn’t going to be bringing in much in the way of actually paying proper taxes or treating the residents well but we have actual real-life examples of free bus experiments boosting the local economy.

It’s not even about being nice for the residents, though that is obviously a major positive, it’s just the only smart thing to do. It’s literally stupid as hell to not at least try it from a financial perspective and the only thing that stops people is because it would be a kindness.

The day hasn’t changed but they aren’t wrong that US election campaigns start reeeeally early compared to a lot of other places.

Not empty but rather full of shit.

And it’s good quality, too, for the most part(some of the older MDF stuff can be pretty nasty). Get some shit off Wayfair or whatever and you’re really rolling the dice.

2. Does that happen to you often? I live in Montréal, a place thag looks a lot like this, and small women can walk alone at night even in quieter places without much worry. I don’t think this person’s camera was in that much danger of being snatched in a busy area like this.

Looks not very comfortable at all, but as art it’s very cool.

Dude definitely didn’t join ICE for a fair fight so not surprised that he didn’t start anything. They’re all cowards, he probably wouldn’t have done anything violent unless there were more of him than cops and then bro definitely would have thrown proper fit.

Delightful. Dude acted like an angsty teenager the whole time, which is probably where he stopped maturing so that makes sense, and actually got a consequence which is great to see.

And man, wild how he could walk that line but just standing still was next to impossible. When he had to stand with his feet together and fell back that look of “yo who pushed me” was so fucking funny. Brother the wind ain’t that strong.
