I know some economist will tear me apart for this but I don’t see where the big deal is. To me this is just a consequence of a bunch of factors like the economy and overall women education. I get that you end up with a weird lob sided age graph, but solving that feels like an engineering problem.

We have breakthroughs in automation every year. Every year a single citizen’s impact on overall GDP grows through productivity or efficiency. This is not even considering the impact AI/LLM/AGI will have on the next 10 years. I believe the focus should be on the positives of these trends. The environmental impact of a shrinking society for example. Let’s focus on those things instead of trying to convince people that adding more life to the capitalist income inequality machine is the solution. Adding more kids to the problem seems to only serve the top 1%ers instead of forcing us to have real serious discussions about universal income and what we should do with all the automation and efficiencies we keep creating.

Makes sense. I believe Chile has a big community of Palestinians. Might well use whatever is at their disposal to get attention on Gaza.

You can already somewhat do that with iOS and Shortcuts if you have the chatgpt app. But as OP says, it’s only to talk to. Can’t use it to set a timer or reminder. It’s neat but a lot of my voice assistant stuff is “call X person” or “reply to X”. If I want to talk to chatgpt, I usually open the app and turn on voice for a session.

If ChatGPT can weasel itself into a true assistant with the ability to perform certain actions, then it might be a game changer for the voice assistant space. It’s so much better at understanding context than current assistants on your local device.

There’s a subreddit and discord called Summoners school. Going to drop the discord link below as a lot of us are on lemmy to avoid Reddit.

Mobas are hard because of fundamentals people know and you don’t. Learning some of the basics is a huge step up. Tons of YouTube and guides on summoners school will help with that. Don’t worry though too much about picking the best champion. Below emerald ELO (probably even after that), knowing fundamentals and really knowing “your” champion is a bigger deal. Pick a role you like. Then pick a champion that appeals to you playstyle wise within that role.

Finally don’t let failure get you in a negative headspace. It’s really easy and happens often where you are playing against champions you’ve never dealt with before. If the opponent knows the matchup, odds are you get spanked. That’s okay. Review each death and just note what you could have done different and the next time you play that matchup it will go a lot better. League is a game of who has the most experience in a particular scenario.

Take your time. Push your limits and don’t be afraid to die. People get stuck with this “play safe” mentality and you end up in a lot of games where people miss opportunities because they don’t want to risk a death.

Totally with you. I need for this to happen faster. I hate that every bit of “news” in the AI LLM space is currently posted on X/twitter. I want to keep up and I’m forced to have a dummy account just to read peoples posts and get the link to the GitHub. I’m just one of those people that doesn’t understand why most people haven’t switched or at the very least post on multiple platforms to reach a wider audience.

Discord is awesome. Nitro makes it cool, buts its too pricey for what it is (I’d pay $2.99, not almost $10 a month). My worry is at some point discord will need to IPO. Seems like that IPO/cash out moment is the kiss of death for most great products. Once profitability is “key”, user experience goes out the window.

That was a waste of a click. Let me save you the trouble. Its an article that jumps all over the place and tries to draw the conclusion between domestic US and UK policy and the war in Ukraine mentioning one CNN poll. I don’t doubt people can easily be tricked into thinking that the financial support has a “massive” impact on our economy. I suspect the stance with Ukraine will remain to support Ukraine and hopefully destabilize Russia enough to produce change in the nation. Because the alternative is Russia potentially using its allies and spilling the war over into the rest of Europe.

The official stance if pushed would be some minor rebuke with no weight behind it. I come from that region of the world (Arabian peninsula) and muslims outside the peninsula are deemed less important. Its not how everyone thinks, but there is a turn your nose up at these none Arabic speaking muslims sentiments. You can see it in Qatar and UAE with treatment of Muslim Pakistani workers and even treatment of North African Muslim workers (even though they speak Arabic)

So as stated above the religion is used to control the populace and that “we are the right kind of Muslim” sentiment is used to make sure the religion has not real influence on foreign policy with countries like China that can provide serious surveillance technology.

Totally agree. I’ve been in some dailies where we keep wiping over and over due to new player and usually everyone is super understanding and gives pointers and help. I’ve rarely had a toxic pug in FFXIV. One one of the reasons each expansion brings me back.

Garbage meme honestly.

I don’t know why people look for feature parity between Lemmy/kbin and Reddit. With a bigger audience, its bound to happen that Lemmy/kbin will catch on features. People waited years and years for reddit to become what it “was”. The fediverse isn’t a stop gap. It’s the next potential platform once foss devs see the potential and have an audience to satisfy.

These articles always feel like the push us towards looking for a commercial option when we already have the right option under our nose. Just give it a few dev cycles.
