Restaurant reviews on Google Maps are presumably useless nowadays… This stinks fake, right?

(I had a Beyond Meat burger and chips there and it was good, but had I seen this silly review in advance I had avoided the place.)

@tml it’s only the missing the “Certainly!” at the start and the “In summary…” at the end.

@tml hotel star ratings are so useless. it’s just a checklist for amenities (even hair dryer and ironing board). says nothing about quality, vibes, or unique stuff…

@retrotechtom nice! was happy to have found my childhood NES recently. yes it’s PAL, yes it says “Spanish Version” on the lid and yes it’s yellowed. but it’s my NES!

Someone told me that Chat-GPT saved them hours of work...

My response: If Chat-GPT is saving you hours, are you now able to work less hours and instead spend that time doing other things? That should be the primary goal of AI... Give humans more time to do as they please, not just cram even more work into the same amount of hours.

@rasterweb at the very least when you automate something 50% of the time should go back to the employee.

I have followed the Palestinian struggle since about 2000 and read every book I could on the subject.

But TikTok has really made this knowledge accessible to the public. The TikTokers know how to explain in small bursts like nothing I have seen before.

Accurate and concise.

@Migueldeicaza at least in the Netherrlands there has always been this smokescreen in the media of “don’t say anything about this. it’s too complicated and you’ll say something wrong. I guess we will never know who’s right”.

young people today don’t watch traditional media and see this shit for what it is.

Top 3 most traumatic childhood moments:

  1. Labyrinth Zone limited air underwater in Sonic The Hedgehog
  2. Wall of drills and death on alien planet moving from the left in Taz: Escape From Mars
  3. Pre-final boss Elma chasing you to insta"kill" you with a hug in Tiny Toons for Sega Genesis

saying "I was wrong" in meetings: boring. puts the blame on you.

"I hallucinated": modern. shows you're using the latest tech. it's not your fault you're wrong.

Piracy websites should adopt Midjourney's arguments on copyright:

"Look bro, it's just too hard to figure out what license governs each and every file and who its author is."

hbons,
@hbons@mastodon.social avatar

@gigantos @forthy42 @siguza agree. I hope we get clarity in all those aspects soon.

I just think the human-robot comparison that comes up a lot misses the mark. people are not able to absorb the complete creative history of humankind...

sometimes I hate touchscreens so much. one uncontrolled gesture and you lose what you were doing or create other disastrous inputs.

we've also had them for so long and not solved this issue...

@diegoe what if the there were phone touchscreens that could click like the MacBook touchpads?

touch could be always on for stuff like scrolling, and actvating things could require a hard press.
