    The current model has its own issues. The amount of series that are cancelled after the first or second season is ludicrous. Also, and I’m not sure if it’s related to streaming or the constant writer’s strikes, but series have reduced from 16-26 episodes per season from the height of the piracy-era to 6-10 nowadays.

    If the reduction in piracy led to this deterioration in quality, then I can’t imagine it could get any worse if everyone started pirating again.

    Personally, I reckon it will incentivise the numbskulls in charge that no one is going to pay for 48 separate streaming services and they’ll be forced to adapt (likely via packaging/merging streaming services together).


  • I’d say there are probably as many genuine use-cases for AI as there are people in denial that AI has genuine use-cases.

    Top of my head:

    • Text editing. Write something (e.g. e-mails, websites, novels, even code) and have an LLM rewrite it to suit a specific tone and identify errors.
    • Creative art. You claim generative AI art is soulless and poor quality, to me, that indicates a lack of familiarity with what generative AI is capable of. There are tools to create entire songs from scratch, replace the voice of one artist with another, remove unwanted background noise from songs, improve the quality of old songs, separate/add vocal tracks to music, turn 2d models into 3d models, create images from text, convert simple images into complex images, fill in missing details from images, upscale and colourise images, separate foregrounds from backgrounds.
    • Note taking and summarisation (e.g. summarising meeting minutes or summarising a conversation or events that occur).
    • Video games. Imagine the replay value of a video game if every time you play there are different quests, maps, NPCs, unexpected twists, and different puzzles? The technology isn’t developed enough for this at the moment, but I think this is something we will see in the coming years. Some games (Skyrim and Fallout 4 come to mind) have a mod that gives each NPC AI generated dialogue that takes into account the NPC’s personality and history.
    • Real time assistance for a variety of tasks. Consider a call centre environment as one example, a model can be optimised to evaluate calls based on language and empathy and correctness of information. A model could be set up with a call centre’s knowledge base that listens to the call and locates information based on a caller’s enquiry and tells an agent where the information is located (or even suggests what to say, though this is currently prone to hallucination).

  • “Quick! Hurry! Scrum! 5 minute stand up team! We need to sort this crisis out NOW!”

    “Joe! The building is on fire! Move! RUN!”

    “No! We need to have a meeting first! SCRUM! STAND UP! AGILE! SILICON VALLEY!!!1!!!1!! When is the next sprint!?”

  • My feedback: I wish it was -15 °C… To snuggle up under a bundle of blankets sounds divine. Instead, it’s almost midnight where I am and it’s still bloody 32 °C.

    The UI looks nice, though I’ve effectively disabled the Overview and replaced it with the ArcMenu on my setup. I’ve also aligned my common/active applications to the left on my panel rather than centred (so that my pinned applications are always in the same position and don’t budge over when I open another program). Rounded corners doesn’t do it for me, I try to avoid anything that removes screen real-estate, no matter how minimal. I’ve also set the bottom panel to auto hide so that it’s only visible when I move my cursor at the bottom of the screen. Overall, your setup’s pretty nice, though I don’t think I like the bright colours for the buttons in the top right of your windows, they’re a little distracting. Mine’s set so the cross is a washed out red colour, the minimise button is a pale horizontal line, and I don’t have a maximise button.

    I’m going to install that Weather or Not extension. Thanks.





  • Probably some bureaucrat decades ago making an incorrect assumption that passed down through generations. Happened to my family. No Irish roots whatsoever, yet somehow we ended up with the annoying form-breaking apostrophe in our ‘legal’ name just because it begins with the letter ‘o’.

    “Oscar??? Surely, you’re mistaken. I hereby decree your name to be O’Scar!” ~Arsehole circa 1937


  • In honesty (my last comment was clearly not legit), you likely do pronounce the ‘L’; most accents will include this in my experience.

    Does the tip of your tongue touch the roof of your mouth just on or behind the ridge before your front teeth? If you release your tongue before pronouncing the ‘D’ is there a release of air? If you do position your tongue here and there is no release of air before pronouncing the ‘D’ (which does release air), then you are pronouncing the ‘L’.



  • This is a fair assessment. I actually like politics, but I have still blocked numerous political communities because the users spam variations of the exact same 2 articles over, and over, and over, and over again.

    It’s either going to be:

    1. Trump be stoopid
    2. Israel be bad

    The first few times were interesting, now it’s just effing annoying. Blocking these communities has definitely improved my Lemmy experience.


  • Here’s my first attempt at that prompt using OpenAI’s ChatGPT4. I tested the same prompt using other models as well, (e.g. Llama and Wizard), both gave legitimate responses in the first attempt.

    I get that it’s currently ‘in’ to dis AI, but frankly, it’s pretty disingenuous how every other post about AI I see is blatant misinformation.

    Does AI hallucinate? Hell yes. It makes up shit all the time. Are the responses overly cautious? I’d say they are, but nowhere near as much as people claim. LLMs can be a useful tool. Trusting them blindly would be foolish, but I sincerely doubt that the response you linked was unbiased, either by previous prompts or numerous attempts to ‘reroll’ the response until you got something you wanted to build your own narrative.


  • Can’t help but notice that you’ve cropped out your prompt.

    Played around a bit, and it seems the only way to get a response like yours is to specifically ask for it.

    Honestly, I’m getting pretty sick of these low-effort misinformation posts about LLMs.

    LLMs aren’t perfect, but the amount of nonsensical trash ‘gotchas’ out there is really annoying.
