Lisa Khan is a hero. This is quite twisted “logic”: this party sucks, so let’s side with Hitler instead.

In other words, honeypot. And an US plant in Switzerland…

…and than… what? Ask them nicely to stop?

Bots are not the problem, yelp’s own business practices are.

Apparently you and @daddy32@lemmy.world have missed out on the past few years of hilarious AI responses, misinformation, and general crap those algorithms can spit out. There have been millions of videos and articles explaining the dangers of using AI especially as an informational tool

You may suffer from confirmation bias. Current gen AI produces a lot of those things yet still produces more useful and even factually correct output all the time. In this regard, it is much like google search, debatably useful, more fore some tasks, less for others. Yet you don’t hear calls for burning down the google search, even on lemmy, while you get an universal “AI” hate all the time. It is an imperfect tool yet still very useful, when used correctly. I successfully use it every single day for tasks like quick research of documents, writing automations (successfully!) and other scripts, analyzing data, programming, rewriting my drafts etc. It has really simplified my life. It allows me to do the things (on computer) that I would otherwise have no time or patience or knowledge for. I was already capable of all most of those things, but with this help, I can do much more, more quickly and with less pain. And then I come to lemmy a marvel at the universal hate.

Of course, I don’t write this all to support the idea that we all should just stop writing comments and leave that to ChatGPT. No, that is really lazy. And don’t get me started on yet another push to centralize power in hands of few corpos by trying to keep these tools hidden behind API or a website and stiffing the innovation in their open counterparts. And of course, having first hand witnesses is better to have just an AI estimation. But it comes out quite stubborn when even the factually correct responses get burned down. With this approach you are closing the doors to genuinely useful tool for yourself. You are missing out.

Lol @ the hate. He was factually correct, wasn’t he?

In third panel those are the person’s arms ;)

There has been an improvement - and regulations - in this regard over time, so you both may be right.

Similar top-down cultural phenomenon dictated by corpos is concept of “personal carbon footprint” - as a means of shifting blame and focus from them to individuals. This is almost conspiracy level unbelievable when heard for the first time, but true nonetheless.

Well first you need guaranteed food, shelter and safety for everyone, so people don’t feel existential pressures. Which means you have to start with utopia before expanding on the ideas you present…

I love this “Cultural malware” as a name for things like these.

I think they meant the “finance guy” insulted the whole “race” of “developers”, but otherwise they agree.

Yea, the Bing chat (or what it was originally called) sometimes used to tell people to learn coding instead of asking it to generate code.

Yes, the classic “no” problem of YAML. But the addition of the comments is very nice.

Calculating hashes is supposedly more expensive for longer strings. That could be used to simplify some kind of overload attack like DDOS.

Hahaha, totally nothing like I described it, but yes, this is the original clip. Thank you!

But white house agrees: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3713203/white-house-urges-developers-to-dump-c-and-c.html

There’s always more than one option and it is rare situation when a language is “required” .
