Anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you.

You know when your typing on your phone and you have that bar above the keyboard showing you what word it thinks you are writing? If you click the word before you finish typing it, it can even show you the word it thinks you are going to write next. Gpt works the same way, it just has waaaay more data that it can sample from.

It's all just very advanced predictive text algorithms.

Ask it a question about basketball. It looks through all documents it can find about basketball and sees often they reference, hoops, Michael Jordan, sneakers, NBA ect. And just outputs things that are highly referenced in a structure that makes grammatical sense.

For instance, if you had the word 'basketball' it knows it's very unlikely for the word before it to be 'radish' and it's more likely to be a word like 'the' or 'play' so it just strings it together logically.

That's the basics anyway.

It's kind of interesting to think of society like a videogame. Like we put our stats in oil and tech. But not much in biotech. The different style of civilisation advancement we are missing out on could be wild. But we can't go back and play the game from the start again, so we'll never see what that's like.

Could be computers built off of nerves instead of wires. Computers that grow and multiply. I wonder if it could lead to a new understanding of the nature around us and how we all fit and play a role in the galaxy.

Maybe our desire to explore space is immature. There may be whole other types of space that we can't see because we don't have the tech.

I recently made the move to librewolf(windows) and mull(android). Essentially just Firefox but with more protection. Super easy switch, hardly notice a difference so far.

It's actually more dangerous than that. They want to be the music distributor also. Yes, they are currently separate subscriptions, but with enshitification you know they're going to link them into 1 package eventually, meaning if you want to stop 1 you'll lose the other.

An example of that would be, you(the artist) find a new Patreon kinda thing that takes less of a cut so you want to move there, but because winamp are also your distributor if you decide you want to leave, they'll also cancel your distribution removing all your music off of online platforms like Spotify. It's a seriously dangerous path to take as an artist.

They are not the llama we once knew. This one I think is a wolf in llama skin.

I'd love to be proven wrong.

That would be splooshers you're thinking of.

Its a trap. The best way to fight reddit is to not even engage. Imagine r/place was left blank because no one was there.

Found out about OSMand via Lemmy recently and have since been contributing via 'StreetComplete' on android. I've been enjoying making edits myself. Cool to see people doing it all over the world. The way its layed out is pretty cool. Pair it with some slow jams and you got yourself a good time.
