I don't think GP is arguing that crypto is a good thing here. They are refuting the meme which calls crypto a dead fad.

As mind boggling as it may sound, crypto is still a very strong industry, raising about 10 billion per year. Sure it has gone down by more than half since the hype years but that's still very comfortable numbers.

Again, not saying it is a good thing. But just because it doesn't make mainstream headlines anymore doesn't mean it's dead.

You'd be surprised! We already had banks, insurances, newspapers and other kinds of information businesses. They did employ a huge lot of secretaries.

In general it's not used for AI artists but rather for developers doing advanced stuff with LLMs such as RAG etc...

It might come from non native speakers too. For example in french using aesthetic as an adjective to mean "beautiful" is correct, and it may be true in other romance languages.

I’m saying non-critical things about gen-AI on Lemmy of all places

so brave lmao

I've been dreaming of a place like Lemmy for 20 years, and i had a lot of theories about what it would be. But i would never have predicted how salty it is. I swear 3 conversations out of 4 just descend into snark and name-calling, it's a fucking shame if you ask me. It really is one of the least welcoming places of the whole internet.

You genuinely might need to touch grass.

This thread is hilarious to us all. I'm sorry you have to go through this but it is, indeed, a great illustration of your point. The other commenter is making very large assumptions and the goalpost is moving so fast it might actually be on wheels. Oh and a new slippery slope just dropped : using ChatGPT will now worsen your communication skills (for unspecified reasons, according to bad communicators wholly unfamiliar with the matter at hand).

I think you missed an opportunity. It would have been much simpler to post "Does anyone else think AI kinda bad ?" and raked in all the accolades and upvotes.

I think it's a concept that's hard to grasp for people with semi functioning families. Obviously they tend to believe that the model that worked for them is desirable.

Then there's games like the original "pirates!". It has an anti cheat that would present itself as a simple question like "do you recognize whose pirate flag that is". The answer is in the booklet, and if you answer wrong nothing visible happens but the difficulty is cranked so high that the game becomes effectively unbeatable.

There was also a time when most of the universe was at the perfect temperature and density to cook pizza,I guess.

Ok that one is hilarious

Same. I remember playing the original on an Amstrad in the 90s and it was already mind blowing. I was so happy they remade it, and even happier that they barely changed anything about it.
