Yeah, I’m not going to respond to the replies. I thought I made it clear; I already know that Lemmy has a collective ragegasm whenever someone says something positive about AI. You don’t need to tell me how much you hate it, I know. I just don’t care.
Unlike 110% of the Lemmy community, I am legitimately impressed by AI. LLMs have increased my productivity both at work and with my own personal hobbies.
Tonight alone, I created dozens of JSON files using an LLM for a game mod I’m developing that would have taken me days if I had created them manually.
My issues with Microsoft have nothing to do with AI (as a concept). Personally, I equate most people who oppose LLMs with the Luddite movement.
Microsoft has many, many issues. Their focus on forcing AI on people who mostly don’t want it is a stupid business decision IMO. They should focus their energy elsewhere.
I’d rather they fix Teams and remove the 4,738 completely useless Clippy notifications they send me daily (on my work computer—fuck using Windows at home).
“In other news, person in Milky Way galaxy starts bawling like a baby”
Why change the title? Australia ≠ Queensland
This is like changing the title of any story about Florida to be about America.
Don’t worry, the next time we ‘hurt the feelings of the Chinese people’ things will be back to normal.
I hate this. China is just as shitty a trade partner as America. They are reactionary and impose nonsensical tariffs in response to perceived slights.
Increasing trade and dependency with these countries creates a deterrent against free speech.
Let countries like this stand on their own.

I wish vegans and vegetarians would be a bit more willing to promote this viewpoint.
I agree. I think that sometimes people avoid vegan/vegetarian options due to negative perception drawn from some prominent activists in the community (not helped when rage-baiters get more views and coverage).
I honestly think I would have become vegan sooner if there were less ‘hardcore’ vegan activists and more empathetic role models.
I fully support people making the public aware of awful conditions in livestock farms and abattoirs (nonviolently), as well as those who encourage alternative options (e.g. nooch is delicious and I wish I knew about it before I became vegan).
The people that dump red dye/fake blood on people, or block streets, or vandalise businesses, aren’t doing the movement any favours IMO. The same with people who disparage others who are making more ethical choices, but not the ones they have made (e.g. consuming less meat instead of no meat in this case).
Attacking a person’s character doesn’t generally work; people just get defensive.
That is an unhelpful response. OP is talking about actions individuals can take and you provided a single word response with a link to overall climate change sources, most of which individuals have no control over (beyond voting).

I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It’s especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.
Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.
The posts on this thread are evidence that people don’t actually care about the policies; if there is an oompa loompa behind it, it must be bad.
Almost every move the current US administration has done to cut red tape has been utterly stupid. This one actually makes sense. Having a separate citizenship database for every state is just silly.
slow clap
FYI, I’m not here to win a high school popularity contest. I’m perfectly capable of admitting that I am a flawed human being (as already acknowledge in my ‘second reply’).
I’m happy for you to be the big boy/girl here. Here’s a cookie: 🍪.
