Valid, however as AI advances I'm worried they will iron out its telltale signs. Thus poisoning the well on all online discourse.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

That is the plan, yeah.
The internet is already mostly bots talking to bots. Now it will be AI talking to AI and training on the shit the feed each other. An AI "human centipede" situation.
Will this lead to AI data center shootings? Wherein AI drones go into other data centers and start shooting up the place?
I’d call this macabre, but nothing value would be lost.
Not nothing; RAM Other than that though...
Not my precious DIMMs!
don't worry we will save our rgb blessed children.
Iran has been threatening to blow up data centers. Stop teasing me, you crazy bastards!
Last time I went to a reddit thread because of a search for some arcane information, I found it disgusting how many of the comments were OBVIOUSLY bots. I even checked a few comment histories just to be sure.
Last night I got a wild hair and decided to search for ergonomic gaming mice. Most of the top results were to Reddit - and holy shit is it bad. I swear half the comments were in the same format like:
"As a 39 year old engineer who likes X and Y, I like the blah blah blah".
Wow, that is fascinating! As a 37 year old web surfer, I personally would never browse Reddit without using the latest version of Google Chrome™ as my browser of choice. No other browser comes close.
(This comment was definitely not posted by a bot)
"I'm 37!"
"What?"
"I'm 37, I'm not old."
"Well I couldn't just call you 'man,' now could I?"
"You could've just called me Dennis."
"I didn't know you were called Dennis!"
"Well you didn't bother to ask, now did you?"
"Look, can you please just tell me who lives in that castle?"
Logitech G502 is an awesome wired mouse, and the Mx Master 2S is the best mouse I've ever had. Both are worth considering. Both have a wheel that can free spin if you want, which is nicer than you might initially think. The master has a lot of cool shit it does, and have shockingly low latency for a wireless mouse.
Razer Deathadders are extremely popular, but just know that Razer peripherals have (or used to have) high failure rates. I had 2 different adders that failed under normal use in about a year before I ended up with the Logitech options I mentioned above. Had both Logitech mice for several years - no issues.
Thanks! Yeah I have a Logitech G500s and a Razer Basilisk V3 X Hyper speed right now. After using my computer for a while, my wrist gets uncomfortable. I'm thinking of moving to a vertical mouse. Maybe a Keychron M5 or a Logitech MX Vertical.
We have similar tastes in mice. I have a bunch of variants of the MX Master mice, some from old jobs, some I purchased outright. The full sized clicker variant is my favorite. I can't vibe with the soft-click buttons like I can with the clickies. They're all decent mice though and work well under Linux and even Android. I have a very similar Logitech (but including wireless) and it's great for gaming. I remapped the forward and backward keys to raise and lower DPI using a Linux tool (I forget what it was, probably Piper). Now it's perfect. I don't see myself buying a mouse for quite some time.
I haven't been crazy about Razer stuff. Had a keyboard die and a mouse that was meh.
Tl:dr the user above me is right and knows their mice!
weirdly, the best mouse I've used is perixx mx-2000
the newer years aren't as good as my older one (now like a decade old if not more), but they're still more comfortable than any other mice I've tried. which I find weird because it's all sharp edges and stuff. but it just works for me. and I do have RSI issues
I also find it's the mouse where I had to reposition my hand the least. I'm currently using some razer mouse I think, and I've tried a bunch of other ones, and all of them have smooth surfaces where I find I lose my grip and it's like anti ergonomic because of it. whereas the perixx had a nice sharp edge that I could very lightly hold on to
I've got an older mouse too that you could add weights to like that. Was nice feeling like your mouse was substantial. Now most mice are made with as little material as possible and they sell that as a bonus of being ultra light weight. I hate how they feel!
If you're still searching, razer and corsair both seem to have good options in various styles and spanning different price ranges.
They're not the only options out there of course, but they're what I narrowed my choices down to when I was looking not that long ago.
Akko also has one that looks nice if you want something simple without all the extra inputs, but a high DPI/polling rate.
Thanks!
No problem!

With the own social network Moltbook (Humans are welcome to observe)
It would be an interesting experiment if it weren't such a waste of resources...
Like 5-10 years ago there was a "subreddit simulator" which would generate fake reddit posts generated from specific subreddits. It was almost entirely garbage, but that time the /r/askreddit simulator posted "Redditors of reddit, what's the biggest mistake my mom makes in bed?" probably justified that whole endeavor. Such a perfect encapsulation of the content.
Okay, that's hilarious. But I had to do a double-take when it dawned on me that AI has indeed been with us for nearly 5 years now...
I remember in 2021 there was all the buzz about "AI is already here, it's just extremely flawed still and not even close to ready for use. The government needs to regulate it before some idiotic businessmen do something stupid with it."
And then the attempted legislation got shot down because it would ostensibly "hamper innovation," and then the first commercial LLMs hit the scene and then everybody lost their minds.

And then we will circle back to TL;DR because we can:t really tell whether this wall of text is written by human or AI.
yt;dw YouTube, didn’t watch
cb;dc Clickbait, didn’t click
ac;dc The only chords they know.
Oi!!
The only chords they ~~know~~ need.
i'd aim that at the gin blossoms before acdc too. it took their guitarist 3 albums to learn a fourth chord
He was trying something different!
🤣 it's funny because it's true!
There's a G in Highway To Hell, and Thunderstruck is almost entirely a B chord.
also ai;dw for slop videos 😄
Lol that's funny! I totally get it. But could someone explain the abbreviation for those that don't...
it’s a variant on TL;DR (too long; didn’t read), which people post when what you wrote was too long for them to bother with
so the new one, AI;DR, means "what you posted is ai so i’m not going to bother to read it"
I have also seen it used as the indicator for a summary like I have done below. As in the person knows what they wrote was too long for some people so here is a short version too. Similarly I have seen TL;DW to indicate a video summary.
TL;DR - Sometimes it’s used by OP.
it’s true (honestly what you said is what i’ve seen the most), and i’ve seen it as a way to ask for a summary as well (replying to a long post with "tl;dr?")
but i don’t really see both of those as relevant to ai;dr tbh
Or someone will ask for a tl;dr
Here I thought in OP’s case, they were requesting an ai summary.
This is AI, Don't Read
It's derived from tl;dr, which is Too Long; Didn't Read. It's not instruction telling you to ignore it, it's an abbreviated way of saying, "I recognize this as AI slop that I'm not going to waste my time reading."
That's what I said. Its a warning to others that it's AI and to not bother.
idk posting "ai;dr" as a reply is not functionally different from posting "ai" other than needing three more characters to type.
I think it's useful. it explicitly calls out that somebody didn't consume the content.
to you, that might be obvious. to others, not so much
Plus commenting any of that is providing engagement and therefore increasing the reach the post will have. Ignore and report, even bullshit reports since nobody offers a "this is ai, get this cancer off this platform" button are the best ways to respond.
its more cool duh
Replying at all generates traction unfortunately. That's why there are so many hate channels, rage bait, fear mongering. It gets views and attention.
When I first read this I misunderstood it to mean "too long so I used ai to summarize it"... So maybe that potential to misunderstand is a counterargument to its use.
Then again maybe I'm just dumb haha.
at;rq
Adopt that; right quick!
