Lol

Alternatively, we live in a society.

I don’t mind accommodating sensitive crybabies if that’s all it takes. But everyone gets their own space so it’s chill.

Irl? Like one and a half irl friends (the second one and I vibe really well but we’re both pretty independent)

It’s fine I guess

So just FYI the rule of thumb with alt text that I’ve heard is: imagine you’re describing the picture you’re looking at to someone you’re talking on the phone with.

So that usually means keeping it brief and precise to only the aspects which are relevant to the context it’s being posted in.

Sorry if you’ve heard this already, but yet helped me a lot.

I think it’s also because some people are extra bothered by setting the full word without some attempt to mark it. Really if this was like the rest of the fediverse there would be a CW on it. And please don’t quote Louis CK at me.

Yeah they basically disappear behind their new tool, as the only contribution you now see is the one coming from the plagiarism machine.

I don’t use LLMs (especially now during nosloptober), but I’m also trying to apply this to web searching. Like instead of doing a search for “how many minutes in a month” I’ll realise I have all the tools and information to figure it out and just do that.

Or checking with a local manual before searching online

Thanks for taking the time to go into it. It seems like people are having this conversation in every community and every friend group and most of the time it’s just people talking past each other.

That just sounds like a smartphone but closer up

Interestinger and interestinger. So you wish you could create the art (or pictures, whatever term you want to use), but the way you do it doesn’t matter, so you just use the LLM because that’s the easiest way to do it?

Would you normally try to soup something up in paint, or just do something else? I mean like before you could generate it with natural language.

That’s actually a really illuminating analogy.

I can’t say I understand what people get out of playing with LLMs, but if they view writing code or drawing pictures like I view using a calculator then that explains a lot of the disconnect between the two camps.

That was my perspective as well. Once that immediate novelty wore off I started to look at people still playing with it and wondering what they’re seeing that I’m not.

But I guess people like different things. Like I hate reality TV shows, but those are plenty popular.

They’re great for shitposts? I thought the point of shitposts was they take no effort. Wouldn’t putting an extra service in the loop just complicate it?

Haha thanks, I did double check this wasn’t just about video games first. :9

I’ve got a deck of cards in my coffee table that I like to play solitaire on. I keep tweaking the house rules to make it more fun.

Actually I’m not sure I’d call it “fun” so much as “relaxing.” But I do enjoy myself.

Literally because it scaled

Oo yeah, for real. I kind of stumbled upon this in my teens (maybe everyone does), but luckily was able to snap out of it, woke up, and realised I could form flexible informed opinions that define my whole personality

I don’t rightly know, sir

I almost respect it, but I can’t respect the person
