All aboard the LainTrain - We all love Lain!

  • my truth-claims?

  • yoo that looks awesome

  • I'd say every belief in the entirety of my socialization as a child was formed through bullying of some sort. You try something, people laugh, mock, beat, harass, it feels bad, your social brain says that was bad, you remember it because it feels bad, you adjust and don't repeat to avoid feeling bad again.

    That's how human communities select for behaviour.

    As an adult I'd say whether I like it or not I've become increasingly more tolerant of conservatives because of them shoving their shit down our throats everywhere. Things I'd consider so absurd they're not worth the time of day are now ideas that seem almost sensible enough to warrant a rebuttal. I don't like it, but they hold all the cards and make the rules and it works well for them, imo.

  • Hopefully the people mocked will adapt to social pressure and change their beliefs in order to fit in better. Bullying generally does work, even if it sucks. The only alternative is to simply murder the ones you disagree with and that sucks even more for multiple reasons, chiefly that right now numbers are against us.

  • I don't think reasonable is even it for me, it's just a helpful assumption.

    If they are doing a perfect job at a Truman show type situation, there's nothing you can do, so you might as well assume they're not and play your role.

  • I didn't even know there was comics, I only knew of the cartoon growing up. I'm the same way, only thing I do is do tarot card readings for me and my gf, we both know it's just for fun, we also got some cool cards with the images from cyberpunk2077 so there's that.

  • Okay, I see the light. Thank you for explaining it to me!

  • Idk seeing the amount of intellectual dishonesty and lack of integrity people have nowadays I strongly doubt that former hypothesis, I feel like an idiot because I do things the hard way because I believe it to be beneficial for my personal growth while hordes of people claim to be geniuses with less than no information on a subject.

    I think the latter is it.

  • Far be it from me to argue with Steinberg, fair enough. I must be wrong.

    I guess I just don't see how there was ever a barrier in the first place. The amount of juniors who couldn't code their way out of fizzbuzz who think they are geniuses has exploded in recent years, I largely count myself amongst them too, with job interviews being as competitive as they are, and a big old green commit history being seen as a plus and people buying stars and such, I just don't see how this was anything but an eventuality with or without AI, not unlike the endless barely valid CVE slop too.

    For instance of the latter, if CISA(!) can issue federal government advisories for critical CVEs that don't exist, based on unverified claims from one empty chinese GitHub, I find it odd to think AI would make the situation substantially worse.

  • Idk, but I don't see why commits of shit code from AI are any different from commits to shit code from fleshbags.

    Shit code is shit code.

    If the maintainers of the project have their review game on point then shit code will not be in the repo, if they don't, then AI or not, shit code will be in the repo.

    So, I see no reason to panic and raise alarm about AI commits.

    If anything hopefully some LLM assistance can take the weight off the absolute saints among us that are unpaid maintainers of crucial FOSS repos, like for instance with the whole XZ situation.

    Vibecoding or outsourcing your brain to proprietary tech is a choice like how using an assembly line plant to stab yourself in the balls is a choice. You can choose to use tools in non-idiotic ways as well.

    I'd be far more concerned over stuff like Immich getting bought out by a company with all sorts of links to the shadiest blokes going amongst the ultra-rich.

    Edit:

    Please also see the excellent rebuttal to my take below. I've changed my mind.

  • It's not about raw numbers, more like subgroups, if that makes sense?

    Lemmy is a niche place, yes? Skews techie, nerdie, someone very internet heavy. At least that often seems to be an assumption I see about the place. But I don't think it's true, so I would just like to test that assumption, this is just an observation in that test.

    I think Lemmy's audience is actually fairly diverse, I also think it skews very young comparatively, for the latter in particular I think this is a good test.

    It's also of course possible that the techie, nerdy internet heavy crowd subgroup is big enough that even isolated to that sample, the chance of encountering someone who has seen the image before is actually that small, but nonetheless it's a worthwhile observation.

  • I'm really curious, has anyone here not seen this image before? Not playing internet gatekeeper, I'm curious about Lemmy demographics. This image was everywhere like 5-7 years ago.

  • Playlist cover art added yet?

  • No he really wasn't

  • God where do you people even come from? Coming out of the woodwork to free-associate about some incompetence of an imagined IT department when Microsoft fucks up this OS every other day and when Teams and Sheets Web (or whatever the M$ version of Google Sheets is called) and Windows 11 is the way it is.

  • Lol if anything if you wanna go there just doing your biological job sounds extremely uncreative, it's something I'd expect an animal to do, not a person. We are blessed by god or otherwise with the gift of reason, why must we not use it?

    You should have kids if you want them and think you can provide a decent upbringing to them.

    Is there an example program that illustrates how a buffer overflow attack actually executes arbitrary code?
