Also, shit writing prompt. I haven’t seen a writing prompt online that I didn’t hate. “Hey wouldn’t it be neat if someone wrote about this premise???”

Lemmy World
Pretentious? Try haughty.
AI isn’t “just overpowered statistics”. What you said betrays your lack of understanding of both statistics and AI.
With all respect to the contents of the article.
None taken!
edit: it appears that there are people who do not know what “LW” means. I made a context-based joke that it was “Lemmy World”. What it really stands for is “Lurk More”
“Hello, peasants, I come to deliver you from ignorance. I can tell just by looking at your filthy clothes and vacant gazes that you all misuse the term AI. It is my obligation and privilege to educate you and inform you of the bright future AI is soon to bring, you swine.”

I think, in some sense, it is the purest version of social media. You take anything and everything in your life, commodify and corrupt it into content that serves as some insight into achieving higher business status, garnering reactions, and, in turn, actual higher business status.

Some are there purely for the love of the game, even if they look weird to outsiders. Others are there because they need exercise but have trouble finding joy in playing the sport itself. Some people LARP as the first camp for ulterior motives, like making friends or getting laid. I occasionally walk by the field where they play for the spectacle.

The original version shows Gemini telling a cheesemonger that gouda makes up “50 to 60 percent of the world’s cheese consumption”
“Wait, it’s 50-60% gouda?” 🧑🏿🚀🔫🧑🏿🚀 “beep boop try this mushroop”
