As someone who uses standard detergent and not pods:
Fuck the language used here. Dear god. “Dummies” “convenience zombies”. I guess nobody has mobility issues or accessibility needs. Or perhaps someone is so deep into their depressive spiral that the moderate convenience offered by pods is the difference between them doing their washing at all or not.
I agree with the message here but absolutely fuck this holier than thou gatekeeping bullshit.

I mean this person seems to be not doing it maliciously. As they say, if it wasn’t them, it would be someone else. Pushing archive to improve their security is great for everyone. As long as this person doesn’t do anything actually malicious, they’re in the clear as far as I’m concerned.

They’re very clearly joking.
Guillotines are far too clunky.
Calling mass shooters a fact of life, implying we can’t ban guns, calling climate activists dangerous criminals. But I’m autistic so I can’t tell if its sarcasm or if you genuinely hold those beliefs.
I didn’t say they don’t serve a purpose, I said that customers didn’t ask for it/don’t want it. I also said AI, not LLM (initially).
They serve a purpose, but in many cases are not well suited or ready for production.
Examples?
I use a food delivery app that added an AI chatbot to supposedly help you with restaurant and food suggestions, and it wasn’t able to handle simple dietary restrictions (whereas standard filtering options on the search work just fine). A prompt as simple as “I’m looking for restaurants with vegan sandwiches” would return places that had vegan food and/or sandwiches. Even if it worked properly, just having adequate filter options and robust search is far more suited to the kinds of things users are doing on this kind of app.
Search engines putting their in-house LLM generated slop above actual search results, which is the equivalent of ensuring that the first search result is from a garbage site with hit or miss accuracy of information or relevance to the topic. I don’t imagine it will be long before we start to see generative ai image results being served on the fly by in-house products when you search for images. Pass the user query to an LLM to generate a prompt for image gen, then pass that to image gen and bam! Slop!
Every fucking product has some stupid gradient-coloured ✨ AI button shoved into it now and it drives me up the wall.
Putting LLM auto complete into IDEs? Great, as long as I can turn it off and as long as they’re not training it on the code I write in the IDE. AI denoising in rendering software? Excellent. Image infill/outfill using AI in photo editing and drawing software? Spot on.
Well for one, the clickbait BS has become worse because of the LLMs :P I think its cool tech, don’t get me wrong. Before it started getting shoved into every product and before its environmental impact started skyrocketing, I was keenly interested in it. In all honesty, I still am, but I’m keenly interested in what happens with it after the bubble pops and the real use cases are left behind. Text summarisation and code prediction are two genuine use cases I’ve seen have tremendous success. But I don’t need an LLM built into every product I use, and I don’t need every product I use to be training LLMs.
Customer preferences: The rise of Artificial Intelligence in the global market has been fueled by a growing demand for personalized and efficient solutions. Consumers are increasingly looking for AI-driven products and services, such as virtual assistants and chatbots, to streamline their daily tasks and improve their overall experience.
Blatantly untrue, not a single person I speak to is glad that AI has been shoved into their products, or goes out of their way to use a product because of its AI integration.
But yeah, AI is going to kill any chance of climate recovery unless the bubble bursts soon
The fediverse do be shenaniganing
Beehaw at least is only a quarter of the monthly active users compared to hexbear, that hardly makes it a “micro” instance if they’re on the same order of magnitude. But I digress.
No shade to what hexbear is achieving and I’m very glad to hear that they are championing trans acceptance and not tolerating transphobia. Great work!
Unrelated, I didn’t get a notification for your reply, at all, how peculiar. I only saw it because I happened to revisit the post.
I’d say “and it isn’t close” is a bit disingenuous when instances like beehaw and blahaj exist.
Calling out transphobia is division? Just curious what part of the lgbtqia2s+ community are you?
I thiiiink they’re modding the game but still playing on official hardware, so they might be in the clear for now (until Nintendo goes further)
What about now it’s time to rock with the Bickedy Buck Bumble

Whoa - hyprland is made by a transphobe?
Edit: whoa it really is. I joined their discord and saw like, very strict anti-lgbtqphobic rules and thought that they must be good. But looking into him… Turns out the rules are there because he’d let it fester into a 4chan toxic hellhole
