the problem with my NORMAL smartphone is it is TOO MUCH SCREEN. the bezels are so narrow i cant even grip it like a normal object without triggering touches on the screen sides. all buttons have been stripped off for over a decade now and you cannot hold it from the back without glueing an object on the back of your case. i can only reach 50% of my samsung phone screen with my thumb while holding it with one hand, making it a two handed device most of the time already. why in THE WORLD would i want my phone screen BIGGER?? honestly, why? the only thing I can think of is long commutes on a bus? but you can bring tablets… 🤷‍♂️

this is not a bad point but it also feels a bit like moving the goal posts

Reporting to rendezvous point.

Do you think they would have stopped at 100 people, had they had more cells available?

you’re already giving way too much credit to these models. you dont even need emotion for sentience. an iguana is 100% more sentient than any LLM. life is defined as organic matter that reproduces. very far from an llm. “AI” is a misnomer that they don’t bother correcting because it makes it sound magical and lifelike. these models are not aware of the words they are generating. they do not know what word they just typed before the current one. they do not have any concept of thought or ideas as you or me do. they, simply, are not sentient. this would be required for any true “artificial intelligence” because our self awareness is a huge part of human intellect. LLM are tools, not minds.

Who told you it wasn’t also your decision?

I tried so hard to find the clip from Under the Silver Lake where he snaps and beats the asshole kid, but i couldn’t find it after ten minutes cuz the Internet is so disappointing now

Some mom’s out there with kids the neighborhood raises will be all: “have them anyways, you’ll make it work!”

Go be pretentious to someone who cares. Blocked.

You’re just wrong bro lol.

Artists make WAY more art “for free” than they do for monetary gain. I absolutely pity the fact that your concept of human expression is so tied to societies weird dependency on “value” and the institution of money.

I vehemently do no agree that art is only valuable because of it’s monetary worth. I pity you if that’s the only value you see.

Minnesota is basically already there

I’ve been using them for nearly 2 years no and have no experience other than saving money and getting reimbursed for bad products without needing to send them back. I appreciate your anecdote, but since brick and mortar stores are dead and I don’t make much money paying Amazon to import the same products for me at a premium just makes no sense. Temu is fine.

Yup.

If i know China, it’s the same as Bluetooth but with code tweaked enough to be distinct, while also funneling data into shady servers.

Temu is rocking, too

I loved irc 20 years ago…i have no clue how to get back into it. How do you even find a cool server in 2024??

Can i make a ufo out of this
