What if we’re all AI?

Google has more resources than Mozilla, and Chrome has long been the most popular browser so it’s not surprising others would want a piece of that pie.

That may be, but I know my browsing history, even as I get older and older, and I am using StackOverflow hardly at all compared to ChatGPT which I am using almost a scary amount.

I know I am not the only developer, this is how things are going.

ChatGPT is a big, big part of it.

Also, you can have it talk like a catgirl maid, so I find that’s particularly helpful as well.

I bet Google searching in general has gone down too. It’s often times quicker to just ask ChatGPT for an answer, and usually you can tell when an answer is correct or not. It’s like the old days of manually searching on Google for StackOverflow questions and then finding answers, and then trying to determine which one will work.

They used to be “Don’t be evil” now they’re the most evil company, absolutely crazy.

I know this is generally the case with lawyers getting all the settlement money, but I think due to people not signing up I actually recently got a $200 cheque from the Yahoo data breach settlement in the mail lol

Aren’t they lying? Or maybe they stepped it back from the horrible reception they got lol. Or maybe it was all just a big calculated move to get people to log into Ubisoft again and possibly buy more games.

He’s not, his whole account is ChatGPT generated answers.

That’s a ChatGPT generated answer 😭

Is it bad that I use ChatGPT enough to to be able to recognize that’s a ChatGPT generated answer?

Honestly those reasons aren’t the main reason why they went with the fediverse. For communism, it’s because decentralization means that companies can’t own the technology - by design. The meme “you have no power here” applies. For trans people, I believe it’s because they can have their own community that they truly own, and decide who they can link with through federation/defederation and being able to decide who can participate rather than having to put up with a company making those decisions.

If you’re gonna have an account dedicated to ChatGPT-generated answers, at least have it do something cool like a catgirl maid typing style.

What prevents Google from lying about how their algorithms work, though? How could it actually be verified? There’s no way it could just be as simple as they give their word and suddenly that’s good enough for a court ruling?

So wait, is Google only suggesting things that are popular, or are they displaying things people didn’t search out themselves? How do they prove that in court, do they need to show their source code or something?

this guy is doing exactly what he wants to do and their goal is to make money not to lose them.

How does this make him money exactly? lol

He is literally just killing off his website.

It’s a feature that makes the website more convenient for me to use. I like to work on software I know I will use myself, and then I share it with the rest of the world in case somebody else wants to use it too.

I’m sure Lemmy will get optional infinite scrolling implemented with a better implementation than mine, but it was a fun afternoon project (started out as a quick 30 minute project before the race conditions) the day before starting my new remote dev job.

I think more options and user choice is a good thing.

If he keeps doing this people are just gonna switch to Mastodon lol

If you want to talk about going from Reddit to Lemmy, probably lack of infinite scrolling, so I went ahead and made a Firefox addon called Lemmy Infinite Scroller. It’s 11 lines of code. It’s literally an addEventListener for the scroll event. Apparently it can take up to 3 weeks for it to be approved and end up in the Firefox Add-ons store, so I won’t link it here, but it’s coming.

edit: A few hours later, it’s up to 40 lines of code because of handling race conditions. It should work well under normal use now but if people scroll too fast it could cause problems loading two pages ahead instead of one. It’s obviously not ideal compared to an official implementation but it’s something at least, unless it gets officially implemented in Lemmy before my add-on gets approved. lol

This is a depressing reality but I think it’s likely this will happen. It makes me so mad Google got as big as they did. Someone needs to tear the fuckers down.

I did that too (swapping out a complex codebase with a simpler new modern one), then I got laid off along with another dev and we got replaced by friends of our boss lmao

Although I do admit it’s nice my new job that I’m starting next week pays me nearly 30% more than my old job did along with a better title to match the level I was performing at my old job lol

Yet there are still so many people who deny climate change. It is pretty horrifying.

The CEO bragged about building the submarine out of used parts and said that regulations were boring. He sealed his fate long before it happened.
