Ummm, ok, just let me tell you… uhm… i - I think you’re better not knowing.

I mean, yeah, most people here dislike/hate AI for diversity of reasons, most commonly for:

• Taking up PC components that don’t even exist
• Taking up green land
• Pollute nearby areas with audible noise
• Pirate and suck in all the human knowledge just to sell it back to you
• Effectively DDoS-ing hundreds of thousands of websites and forcing them to implement captcha-like screening
• Frying (even more) new generation’s attention spans and melt their ability to think by themselves
• Ruining human interaction on the internet and filling it up with shit content
• Corporates forcing AI on everything for the sake of having it
• Threatening to take people’s jobs

And tbf, most of those issues come from brain-rot executives and corporates.

It’s okay if you like it and you find it helpful, it’s a tool after all. Like any other tool, on the right hands might boost productivity and help with repetitive tasks.

The main problem is that most people will think that you support any of the above downsides by liking it.

I’m a bit curious, would you share your pro AI counterpoints?

Probably a few petabytes of DDR5…

I know I’ll get downvoted for this, but…Lemmy and related are an “echo-chamber” of sorts. You’ll find that a vast amount of people “in the real world” don’t share this sort of imminently apocalyptic mentality.

Not really sure about the echo-chamber thing though, but I feel like most people outside the Fediverse only doomscroll “brain-rot” content on social media.

Politics, climate change, science, Star Wars/Trek, programming, GNU/Linux, etc, are such niche topics that don’t drive that much interest, unless it’s rage-bait.

I mean, I agree with you, but there’s still room for abuse.

Have you seen OpenClaw’s issues page?

Vibe coders and AI agents are floating it with garbage, if they were to do that to Codeberg, it’ll probably run out of resources pretty quickly

We don’t need a covid-style lockdown to do that. Just saying.

Hopefully it will.

Btw, if you’d like, you can downgrade your M1 mini back to sequoia using DFU mode. Keep in mind that you’ll need to wipe it out entirely, so you might want to do a backup first.

How to do it: https://gist.github.com/idleberg/98cea990efef643423f7d9ed1f298bd2

Get macOS IPSW: https://ipsw.me/product/Mac/

Thankfully you haven’t had the need to use Excel Online

It’s almost as if you neglect young people’s needs, you get fewer. Who could’ve known.

macOS Tahoe is far from being consistent and refined, remains me of the first days of windows 11.

Didn’t Epic say that they’ll implement Easy Anti-Cheat?

Yeah, but I’m still liking the answers, though. Maybe I should’ve worded it differently.
