Who says that and what does it have to do with Facebook and Instagram?
There is always a well-known solution to every human problem - neat, plausible, and wrong.

Yeah, so you might be able to juggle and drive an unicycle at the same time but you still can’t write code or fill an excel sheet while answering to an email.
- Fallibilist@feddit.uktoAsk Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is piracy ever justifiable for ambiguous pulled media?11·22 hours ago
It’s still morally wrong in the absolute sense since you’re taking something for free that you’re implicitly expected to pay for. However if there is no way for you to actually pay for it even if you wanted then that makes this one of the clearer cases in which one can morally defend piracy. It’s still not right but it’s less wrong.
The only scenario that I can think of that would be even more clear is when you’ve actually bought the media already but the disc got damaged for example as was the case with my GTA San Andreas back in the day: I had bought the game but the disc exploded in the drive so I was forced to crack it so that I could play without the disc.

No. That’s kind of the point of the platform. Each instance has their own admins and mods.
I don’t get it either. Seems like mostly just a novelty item. I sometimes get the feeling that smartphones have become pretty much as good as they can get in this current form and manufacturers are just trying to come up with imaginary problems to solve in order to stand out somehow.
Just buy any mid-range Android (or and older iPhone) and you’ll get a great device that does everything it needs to and you can stop thinking about whatever the next year’s release does marginally better than the device you have now and use that mental energy on something else.

This isn’t about me.

Well sure, but it still beats being in a bad relationship. Ideally I’d be with someone who I like being with and who likes being with me but you can’t have it all. Relationships aren’t my #1 priority in life.

It depends on the instance. On feddit.uk they just want to make sure you’re a real person.

What do you tell the admin when you give a reason to join on a new account? Do you just tell them the truth?
Nobody has ever asked about it.

There’s nothing else in your reply for me to respond to. I made a comment about statistical probabilities and you responded with ramblings about AGI that in no way address anything I said. You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m not interested in trying to convince you otherwise.

I can go days without talking to another human but I don’t think a day go by without me making any sounds. After all, I’m constantly talking to my pet and house spiders and when outside I talk to birds, squirrels and food delivery robots.

It’s never going to be clever or subversive.
The AI doesn’t need to be clever for as long as the person writing the prompt is. It’s just a tool. It doesn’t do anything on its own. What you get out reflects what you put in.

- Fallibilist@feddit.uktoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is it okay to have more than one account on here?6·2 days ago
I have over 10 accounts, though I only use one at a time. When I get to 1000 - 1500 comments, I abandon it and make a new one. Had to deal with a stalker in the past and I’m never putting my entire comment history under a single username ever again.
- Fallibilist@feddit.uktoNo Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Why does all AI graphic design have the exact same style?467·2 days ago
It doesn’t - you only notice the low-effort ones that default to the generic style where as the rest fly under your radar and go undetected. It’s called a toupee fallacy: “All toupees look fake, I’ve never seen one that didn’t”

That slightly poor wording choice was my entire point.

I’m only countering your claim where you seem to be suggesting that the term AGI was made up to market LLMs. It wasn’t - that term has existed for a long time.
Are you genuinely attributing your sense of life dissatisfaction to the fact that billionaires haven’t died or been killed yet or are you just saying the popular thing for applause?
I’m not unhappy either. I’m relatively content with my life. Things could be better but they could be much worse too.

Roaming free is dangerous to all wildlife.
That’s why I only eat them twice a week.
I know it’s not the healthiest of the foods but being Finnish chicken it’s at least not seasoned with literal poison and considering that I airfry them it’s at least better than deepfryed. Let me have my wings and comforting lies. Cooking and eating is such a struggle for me.
