That’s a great point, I suspect you’re right. Also the Internet wasn’t something you were constantly connected to back then, so spending 45 minutes a day on stumbleupon felt more special.

Granted there’s no good reason we need to be spending as much time as we do online now…

my dude you are the person who said it

THANK YOU. I’m always saying this. People always say they miss the “old, weird internet” but it’s still there and still active and still growing. But these people choose to spend their time on 2-3 highly addictive apps and complain about it. Nobody is forcing you to download Tiktok dude.

I highly recommend setting up an Imginn redirect: https://imginn.com/p/DYS-e12Ni2U/

ok so you just said something was true without actually knowing it’s true lmao thanks for being honest I guess

To the surprise of no one we can conclude that the sub, and reddit generally, are full of bots spreading disinfo.

But how are you drawing that conclusion? I read the thread in depth and it makes a strong case. It would not surprise me at all to learn that it was true, but I haven’t been able to find where it was confirmed.

That’s assuming the hypothetical superintelligence is willing to do the bidding of billionares. But I’m not sure how the billionares would control something that is smarter than them and also doesn’t rely on money to stay alive.

It was determined and made public

I haven’t been able to verify the bot/troll claim… when was it made public by Reddit?

Glad the subheader is “Imagine what happens if jobs actually start disappearing.”

There’s just still not a lot of evidence that LLMs could take a substantial number of jobs away, unless your job is spam, advertising or propaganda. Corporations are blaming AI but there just isn’t the evidence to support the idea that those fired workers are anything other than normal downsizing (that conveniently help fit the narrative and boost the stock price).

IF an AI gets invented that actually begins making humans unemployable, the economy as it exists wouldn’t be able to withstand it …who would pay for things if there are no jobs? Why provide goods and services for money if nobody can pay for it? Even being a billionare would be pointless because if everyone else’s economic value is zero they can’t be compelled to do anything with your worthless slop money.

But what is the DisplayPort plugged into on the PC? Extremely few motherboards and GPUs support CEC in my experience…

Very cool, what hardware are you using that supports CEC?

The job apocalypse is absolutely not something to forget.

Honestly wondering… why not? So far there is no evidence that an LLM can replace a worker of any kind, and all layoffs attributed to “AI” have not proven to be anything other than typical layoffs attributed to corporate greed.

There are nice friendly frontends for this, Yunohost or CasaOS spring to mind but might be too simplistic if you already are familiar with Docker.

And yet with The Doctor the cursing flows so naturally I have a hard time believing it wasn’t in the original broadcast…

Oh I thought you were just joking around so I was too. Yes it would suck to be unemployed.

I have to assume workplace burned down makes one eligible for unemployment…

Now, working on that angle, we don’t really want to be associated with a randy penguin (well, we do, but it’s not politic, so we won’t)
