Some people down vote popular things because they are popular.

Didn’t downvote this myself, but I can understand why some people would. I have personally blocked numerous users and communities who post variations of the exact same post over and over and over again.

There are only so many times I can read the same bloody thing about Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Israel, and Linux.

I agree. Trump/Musk/Netanyahu are arseholes. Linux is awesome. But I don’t bloody well want to read a variation of the same post every single time I access Lemmy.

I can’t think of a single VR game that has come out that felt like a fully fleshed out game. The games I’ve played the most have all been ports (e.g. Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Fallout 4, The Forest) because native VR games are typically only 3-6 hours long.

Meta really make it annoying to use too. My next headset will definitely not be a Meta.

The current model has its own issues. The amount of series that are cancelled after the first or second season is ludicrous. Also, and I’m not sure if it’s related to streaming or the constant writer’s strikes, but series have reduced from 16-26 episodes per season from the height of the piracy-era to 6-10 nowadays.

If the reduction in piracy led to this deterioration in quality, then I can’t imagine it could get any worse if everyone started pirating again.

Personally, I reckon it will incentivise the numbskulls in charge that no one is going to pay for 48 separate streaming services and they’ll be forced to adapt (likely via packaging/merging streaming services together).

I promise you that koala is not being pensive, it’s probably just constipated; koalas aren’t really known for their intellect.

Though being constipated is unfortunate because that means its babies are probably going to starve (koalas feed their shit to their young).

They’re really doing everything in their power to destroy their own business model, aren’t they?

I’d say there are probably as many genuine use-cases for AI as there are people in denial that AI has genuine use-cases.

Top of my head:

• Text editing. Write something (e.g. e-mails, websites, novels, even code) and have an LLM rewrite it to suit a specific tone and identify errors.
• Creative art. You claim generative AI art is soulless and poor quality, to me, that indicates a lack of familiarity with what generative AI is capable of. There are tools to create entire songs from scratch, replace the voice of one artist with another, remove unwanted background noise from songs, improve the quality of old songs, separate/add vocal tracks to music, turn 2d models into 3d models, create images from text, convert simple images into complex images, fill in missing details from images, upscale and colourise images, separate foregrounds from backgrounds.
• Note taking and summarisation (e.g. summarising meeting minutes or summarising a conversation or events that occur).
• Video games. Imagine the replay value of a video game if every time you play there are different quests, maps, NPCs, unexpected twists, and different puzzles? The technology isn’t developed enough for this at the moment, but I think this is something we will see in the coming years. Some games (Skyrim and Fallout 4 come to mind) have a mod that gives each NPC AI generated dialogue that takes into account the NPC’s personality and history.
• Real time assistance for a variety of tasks. Consider a call centre environment as one example, a model can be optimised to evaluate calls based on language and empathy and correctness of information. A model could be set up with a call centre’s knowledge base that listens to the call and locates information based on a caller’s enquiry and tells an agent where the information is located (or even suggests what to say, though this is currently prone to hallucination).

Magic. That is the only way they can enforce this drivel.

Absolute stupidity and a waste of taxpayers’ money spending so much time on this nonsense.

These incompetent morons are pretty much guaranteeing that they will lose the next election. In the middle of a housing and inflation crisis this is what these fuckheads decided was important.

I loathe the opposition, but it’s hard to defend the sheer incompetence the Labor Party has displayed their entire term.

Look, you tried…

…and were found guilty.

These symbols are getting more messy and difficult to decipher… Someone asked me the other day if I had 5g. I looked at my phone and there was no 3g, 4g, or 5g. So, I just said I have VoLTEBlutoothshaky batteryalarmclockkeyupsidedowntriangle62%.

This is me. It’s perfectly fine until something, somehow, goes missing.

Fla???

Flassachusetts? Flaregon? Flanillois? …

Surely, that’s not supposed to mean Florida? Did they forget how to spell their own state???

You forgot the person standing to the other side saying, “But what about that time when America…!?”

i.e. cherry picking.

The term is applicable because unless you provided those comments in the order you viewed comments in this post (which was the claim of my initial comment), you specifically sought out comments with the bias you were looking for, disregarding comments that did not fit the narrative.

Good for you

You are either responding to the wrong person or don’t know what that word means.

Thanks, but I’m not interested in reading a bunch of cherry-picked comments.

I made no claim that none of the posts the OP was whining about existed, only implied that they were exaggerating as I didn’t see a single one while reading every single comment up until I reached OPs.
