lol. OK.

doesn’t AI need like 96 gigs of ram to be comparable in quality (or lack there of, depending on how you view it) yo the commercial options?

isn’t that book the one that inspired a cult known as zizianism?

you should look at the domain names of some of these blocked instances.

going live without a block list implemented upon start up is going to put you in a very serious legal quagmire where you are now responsible for your ISP having transmitted CASM.

My boss throws a tantrum if anybody is late to his weekly hour long meetings. He spends the first 30 minutes talking about football and asking us what our favorite dishes are.

My management has fallen in love with it, but is considering dropping because the commercial fees to use copilot haven’t seen a return on investment.

Out of the 3 people at my company who pay for chat gpt or grok, the 2 chat gpt users are too reliant on it, while the grok user believes he is talking to a living super intelligence.

LA Dolce Vita or The Queen Margot (1994).

I think there needs to be a higher emphasis on real life community building instead of recreating the services that destroyed communities.

We don’t need another twitter clone. We need a marketplace and volunteer organizing software.

I could be low balling it. In general, the cost of popcorn has gone up, even at grocery stores. Most brands seem to be only selling a 3 or 6 pack now. The cost per bag is over a dollar for the 3 packs, so yeah, you are likely right that my numbers are way off.

Some theaters by me don’t even sell small popcorns anymore. Your choice is a gallon bucket for $7-$9, or a limited edition Marcel gallon bucket for $14.

The only small theaters I have seen not shutter in the last 10 years are ones who switched to a nonprofit or co-op membership system.

Yeezus.

No song alone reaches a 10/10, except maybe 1, but taken as a whole, the album is a 10/10 experience. The album is essentially alone in it’s own subgenre of hip hop. Everything that came after has been influenced by it, or more accurately, influenced against it. Often regarded as a work of minimalism, but that is a mistaken notion. The album has more in common with architecture, specifically brutalist architecture.

Lyrically, the album is unfinished. Almost all of it is first drafts and sketches of lyricsz but Kanye seems to have taken influence from Thom Yorke here in the sense that the words don’t matter, only the sounds they make and how they fit into the sonic realm he and Mike Dean were creating. Kanye would never make as good an album again, and while being a perfect album, everything released after expanded only on the albums weaknesses and not his strengths. He has not released a single album I rank higher than a 7/10 since, and I am incredibly doubtful he is capable of making anything this good again. But he still made this album.

Some people say this was his response to EDM and dubstep, and while I think that it may be true, at least in the sense that it foretold he was moving in the direction of responding to trends instead of creating his own, the album is too alienating for people looking for a dance record. This is not that. The EDM conventions are distorted and then stripped away to reflect an unquiet suffering mind. This is not an ecstasy trip, it is a memory of an ecstasy hangover.

Finally, good news for people with bipolar!

I tried a sweet potato pie this thanksgiving. It was my first time ever having one. There is no difference in taste. The pumpkin pie is slightly firmer and the sweet potato slightly mushier, but if they are the same brand, the seasonings cover up the vegetal taste in both to the same extent.

I appear to be the only person on Lemmy using raccoon.

Ronald Reagan was a cuckold.

His first wife used to drag him to parties, mock him in front of other men, and then go home with those men.

As she once said at one of these parties, “if you asked Ronnie to tell you the time, he would tell you how they build watches.”

I have a coworker who used this very meme to argue dinosaurs don’t exist.

There I’d a bubble with customer relations management software as well. My company pays per email sent. The CRM has uses AI to write marketing emails.

Less than 1% of emails are getting clicked on, which leads me to believe all the main providers are automatically putting those emails into spam folders.

They had the same information we did…what do they want us to do about it?

People always told me that Grimes was super smart, but every time she opens her mouth, it’s some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard. She is the guy we all knew in high school, the one who takes mushrooms and stares at Tool album covers, and expects the rest of us to pretend they are brilliant.

This chick literally wrote an open letter to communists, saying that if they support Elon Musk, he will use AI to bring a communist system.

If she were to ever shut up, it may dawn on her that she is actually a fucking idiot, and we can’t have that, so she never shuts the fuck up.
