Right, but you can also create accounts on different instances, so not really protected. Actually I think it’s very difficult to really filter bots when they’re done right, especially in times where LLMs start to be increasingly more popular.

Yeah though I think it’s a little bit too political at times. I get it, Trump and Musk is destroying the USA from within, but I don’t need to read about it in every second post…

My fear is that, if lemmy gets too successful, that regarding bots the same fate may occur.

The (d/m)ental decline in the US is real…

Well, I think forbes is maintaining a well known list, here’s his entry, which should give you some info about the source of his wealth: https://www.forbes.com/profile/elon-musk/?list=rtb%2F

As usual with billionaires (and actually most people with a significant wealth)

Oh in practice it works quite well for me, basically all my friends and family use Signal now. You can slightly push them towards that, explain the obvious pros, it’s simple to install, so it’s just a small matter of convincing. I only rarely use WhatsApp for some external groups.

Great I wanted to suggest kicking the US out, if they want to do it themselves, less potential for (violent) conflicts.

He can try to “blow apart” G7, but since every other member state is very likely not in the best mood towards the USA, it will likely just result in the US being gone, i.e. G6 has been “born”.

This is just bullshit… And one of the reasons why the barely functioning democracy is on the best way to an autocratic fascist oligarchy.

There’s two candidates to vote for. One is bad for the Palestinians, one is much worse for them. If I don’t vote, the one that is much worse gets a higher chance of winning…

Democracy especially if you only have 2 choices is about making compromises.

Apparently a lot of people wasted (likely) all their future choices for an absolute *** (there’s two many words that are fitting). That Trump still has such a high approval just confirms to me that we as Europeans should just cut ties with them.

Even if you don’t take profit off the list, it could well be that he had more financial success in these other companies because he uses twitter as promotion and propaganda platform…

I’ve got news for you: basically every app I’ve used so far for lemmy has infinite scroll. Currently Thunder previously Sync.

Not sure if it’s just the promotion of the far-right parties.

For me at the latest after his “Heil Hitler” salute I’d be completely ashamed driving that car.

Might be interesting to see the exact daily timeline of the sales, if it collapsed after the 20th january.

Hmm now I feel bad for not shorting it, after having thought about it initially…

As you’re being unkind all the time, let me be unkind as well :)

A calculator also isn’t much help, if the person operating it fucks up. Maybe the problem in your scenario isn’t the AI.

If you can effectively use AI for your problems, maybe they’re too repetitive, and actually just dumb boilerplate.

I rather like to solve problems that require actual intelligence (e.g. do research, solve math problems, think about software architecture, solve problems efficiently), and don’t even want to deal with problems that require me to write a lot of repetitive code, which AI may be (and often is not) of help with.

I have yet to see efficient generated Rust code that autovectorizes well, without a lot of allocs etc. I always get triggered by the insanely bad code-quality of the AI that just doesn’t even really understand what allocations are… Arghh I could go on…

Yes, I know, I tried all kinds of inputs, ways to query it, including full code-bases etc. Long story short: I’m faster just not caring about AI (at the moment). As I said somewhere else here, I have a theoretical background in this area. Though speaking of, I think I really need to try out training or refining a DeepSeek model with our code-bases, whether it helps to be a good alternative to something like the dumb Github Copilot (which I’ve also disabled, because it produces a looot of garbage that I don’t want to waste my attention with…) Maybe it’s now finally possible to use at least for completion when it knows details about the whole code-base (not just snapshots such as Github CoPilot).

You’re just trolling aren’t you? Have you used AI for a longer time while coding and then tried without for some time? I currently don’t miss it… Keep in mind that you still have to check whether all the code is correct etc. writing code isn’t the thing that usually takes that much time for me… It’s debugging, and finding architecturally sound and good solutions for the problem. And AI is definitely not good at that (even if you’re not that experienced).

Almost every european state has the far-right cancer (to varying degree, but nowadays unfortunately often 2 percent digits), which AFAICS are pro-Trump. I don’t think it’s any different in Greenland…

The only positive thing about Trump really is, that he’s old, and with his lifestyle may not live that long anymore.

But even then, the damage he’s already done, and does in the future may prove to be permanent for the foreseeable future…

Yes, I know, I’m also not from the USA from a “neutral” state (Austria)…

Actually, especially if you’re European, even the democrats are more right-leaning, i.e. comparable with the conservative parties here.

No one is actually politically neutral…

I think at this point in the USA it’s very clear:

If you’re “politically neutral”, you’re Republican.

I (and very many others) may not agree with the democrats, but since we only got two parties there, it’s damage-control. And any sane person (that would like to have a non-dystopian future) votes against Trump…
