I have never used the app anyway. I used Flamingo and when they killed 3rd party apps I’ve just been using browser instead. Lets me block ads that way too.

LLMs are AI. There’s a common misconception about what ‘AI’ actually means. Many people equate AI with the advanced, human-like intelligence depicted in sci-fi - like HAL 9000, JARVIS, Ava, Mother, Samantha, Skynet, and GERTY. These systems represent a type of AI called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), designed to perform a wide range of tasks and demonstrate a form of general intelligence similar to humans.

However, AI itself doesn’t imply general intelligence. Even something as simple as a chess-playing robot qualifies as AI. Although it’s a narrow AI, excelling in just one task, it still fits within the AI category. So, AI is a very broad term that covers everything from highly specialized systems to the type of advanced, adaptable intelligence that we often imagine. Think of it like the term ‘plants,’ which includes everything from grass to towering redwoods - each different, but all fitting within the same category.

What does greed have to do with spreading misinformation? Even the term itself implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

We’re talking about spreading misinformation, which by definition implies ignorance. If it was intentional it would be called disinformation.

Don’t contribute to malice what can be explained by ignorance.

I’m no phycisist but I’d bet that the claim “it consumes no energy” is almost certainly false. I get what they mean but this isn’t exactly a honest way to describe it.

It’s just bizzare to me that there’s data caps on your internet plans. Especially since you’re already paying 5x more than I’m for unlimited connection. I assume there must be some other reasons for this too than just greed. Perhaps the size of your country? I mean even Texas alone is almost as big as entire Europe.

I’m the only guy in my (small) friend group who still used pattern code instead of fingerprint so I take that to mean my phone is by default more difficult to break into than most. Giving my fingerprint to a giantic tech firm has always seemed like a bad idea so I never did. Though the fingerprint reader acts as a power button too so who knows if they’ve scanned it anyway.

I post gay porn. The number or right-wing rednecks that follow me with their public profiles is… confusing.

Right, but I don’t see how simply being on the platform makes one part of the problem.

I wonder if the right-wing content actually has increased, or if it’s just the ratio of it compared to left-wing content as much of the left has seemingly abandoned the platform.

My feed was almost entirely non-political to begin with, and personally, I’ve hardly noticed any difference, though the little politics that do get thru tend to indeed lean right.

What’s the problem?

Someone with more than two brain cells could easily look that up and and realize they’re talking about a different vehicle before insulting a complete stranger for no reason.

People knowingly buy stupid vehicles. I’m one of them. It’s expensive to drive, big, has expensive insurance and only seats two but I love it.

Well that’s a thumbnail I’d never click on
