In ~2016 on the chan someone posted a completely unhinged post about this "bleen" "grue" color that nobody could see. it's probably lost to the ages now, but I remember it.
It was literally like December. We're gonna rename ourselves Meta. January, ChatGPT 3.whatever has been released, and everyone was like, "What's this new AI stuff?"
so while this comment is apt, i would ask them what they think of the previous chicxulub impact of the 2012 era collusion - which to this day has not been reported on
(just realized emacs bindings work in comments, nice, no ctrl-x tho)
eff are a joke "they pinky swore!"
It originated and sounded like a curated package manager, not that that means anything today at all. I don't know when it was officially dropped in anyone's expectations, but homebrew is nothing more than a `git clone` run, and abstracting that is just dangerous for the user.
but you casually drop a node-based dynamic context engine on us?? 5:51
wat???!!
If this had been submitted on April 1st, I might've let it slide, but this is just ridiculous. It's like saying, "I mean, it's just one big word salad of how do you define something?" It's really quite sad.
So this tyrannical mob of minorities destroyed Reddit, and now they have to metastasize and they have to go to other places. So they ironically started using other websites, but actually that's just because they found new ways to get that dopamine hit of controlling other people's behaviors and actions through censorship, and that's what drives them. So you're right; people quit, but wherever they go on any site, basically, there's no safe spaces left for free speech; there's only safe spaces left for censorship.
Brain rot and content don't even come into the equation. That's just throughput. I think we hit peak conversation around about 2017, and I think the well-known surface area where people can actually write coherently in a way that gets read got erased, and now it's balkanized in substacks and short-form video, and everything that used to be comment is now commentary, and you have to talk, you have to listen to some bobblehead talking, and then the comment section is nothing; nobody reads it; there's no conversation happening anymore. And that was deleted by the tyrannical minority who took every surface they could and destroyed it.
I say thank God for Nate Silver for educating the masses that the internet has weirdness on it.
Without Nate, what would we do? Who would be there to tell us that the internet has weirdness? 15 years after articles talking about algorithms and echochambers?
Without Nate, how can we point to some completely incorrect numbers and some completely obvious observations, whether it's obviously true or obviously false? We just need the obvious from Nate. Wow, imagine waking up every day and just desperately scrabbling to find some semblance of usefulness and utility in your existence.
Altman is a ghoul, and we can't be cowed into saying otherwise. he's also supported all the weakness in society that has lead to sick people doing sick things.
"Definitely complicated enough for us all to keep getting paid for a long time."

How long did it take for us to get to a "letsencrypt" setup? and exactly 100ms before that existed, you (meaning 90% of you) mocked and derided that very idea
