Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • What’s one thing you wish more people noticed in everyday life?

    Jump

  • That they're never going to watch the video they're taking on their cell phone at a sporting event, or concert, or political event, or whatever.

    And just live in the moment instead.

    Why am i getting more views within lemmy but not reddit??

    Jump

  • Reddit has an algorithm that's decided your stuff is shit and isn't showing it to as many people.

    Here, it's like social media from 2010. More people are seeing your stuff.

  • So, so true.

    I redesigned my team's intranet at work so we could minimize the use of Teams as much as possible.

  • Harvard dropouts to launch ‘always on’ AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversation

    Jump

  • That would be nice, but outside of major cities, I can't see that happening.

    I may just have to start wearing a hoodie and mask everywhere. I really, really don't like the idea of these glasses.

  • Is there anything whatsoever a privacy-minded person can do about something like this, in terms of personal protection?

  • Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying.

  • Can someone EL5 me on how this is different from our data being stolen under the Patriot Act for the last two decades?

  • Which “small” indie game/film/book hit you harder than most blockbusters?

    Jump

  • Hedwig and the Angry Inch

    It's an amazing punk rock musical and a kickass indie film.

  • MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing

  • Nice.

    I recently sold a portion of my crypto at a profit and am just keeping it in a money market for the moment. I want to have a certain amount to throw in stocks when the next crash comes, but don't want to lose out on some of the good things happening now in terms of investing.

  • It's true. A person has to make the best choices for themselves.

    Oil stock, in my case, paid off my student loans and paid for the down payment on my home, and just in time too given that the US leaders have allowed things to get so bad for the people in those arenas.

    The way I justify it to myself is that, as far as investing goes, I am among the smallest of the small fish. Unless you own enough to sway votes in a public company, your investment doesn't particularly matter as far as a company's policies and behavior.

  • Oil stocks were down 90% in March 2020. That's what I went with. You can profit off a lot of things if you're willing to hold for a few years.

  • I hope you're all keeping some money set aside for when the LLM bubble pops. It could end up being the best time to invest at a discount since March 2020.

  • If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then?

    Jump

  • Could be you're right. I don't know, and I hope I don't live to find out.

  • I think that, in a world where legal systems have collapsed completely and billionaires have survived, I don't think labor will be a matter of choice anymore. I think they'd turn to slavery and likely already have designs on how they'd do it.

  • Current general LLMs are decent for prototyping or example output to jump-start you into the general direction of your destination, but their output always needs supervision and most often it needs fixing.

    This.

    LLMs do not produce anything that can be relied upon confidently without human review, and after the bubble pops, that's only going to become more true.

    Hell, I'm glad the first time I ever used it it gave me a bugged hallucinated and false reply. I asked it to give me a summary of the 2023 Super Bowl and learned that Patrick Mahomes kicked a field goal to win the game.

  • Oh, they've planned for it. They have their billionaire bunkers. Bezos has three that we know of.

  • The lottery is a scam

    Jump

  • It's a stupidity tax, basically.

    Really wish I could have back every dollar my parents spent on lottery tickets over the course of their lifetimes, go back in time, and drop it all in stocks instead.

  • Oh yeah. My mom is a big fan of the ol' "Don't tell anyone I told you this, but..."

    And I always say: "If you're not supposed to be telling me, then don't."

  • Nearly everyone in this country lacks critical thinking skills.

    It's why we still have a two-party system.
