Let's not call it that

[–] Waldschrat@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can we please stop coming up with words that describe that we do not do a thing like it is not normal? Just like having to call yourself an atheist because you do not believe. You should call yourself a theist if you believe, because you actively do it. Call yourself what you are, do, or see fit, not what you are not.

propaganda like this is so fucking sad

colonizers don't have anything to value in their culture and they don't have a future so they want to rip on people who aren't buying their garbage

Hi. That's me.

If at any point I'm required to use it for a job I'll learn. Till then I can do my own googling, reading, math, etc.

I just don't need it. And the push to put it in literally everything makes me not want it at all. Corps don't do good things. Always seeking a rent. Always digging for a profit. And always at our expense.

today I was trying to find how to manipulate a trunk on an aruba switch and JFK the internet search results were fucking shit on a platter! I tried to reword it in ways that might give me a better result but it never happened. None of the commands the AI suggested would have worked.

I FUCKING HATE AI results in the web searching tools

Guys it's fine, you're overreacting. I only use local instances of AI and I always ask it for consent before using it to deepfake porn of my favorite celebrities in their debut roles. You vegans are overreacting and taking it too far. Humanity has been using AI for like 6 months now and our bodies aren't biologically ready to go back to writing our own homework. You really need to check your privilege; we can't all afford fancy tools like GIMP to make our own art.

People who use the term "vegan" for somebody they consider extremist, ascetic, or annoying are really telling on themselves.

Side note: one of the most genius rebrands of all time was the way fake leather (which is often made from polyurethane, a type of plastic) suddenly became aspirational “vegan leather”.

Most vegan leathers are made from compostable materials, because (surprise, surprise!) many vegans are also environmentalists.

I installed it locally on my computer to help me with resolving some coding issues if I’m stuck, write cover letters for jobs, and help me organize ppt decks. No information is shared, I’m only using local computing resources, and I’m not propping up a failing business model.
