Maybe I'm a pessimist but this is going to really resonate with the people who are "looking forward to AI" because they read headlines, but haven't actually used any LLMs yet because nobody has told them how.

And being marketed as "our first upgrade to PC keyboards in 30 years". I want to be in the marketing teams conference room when this got pitched.

Good point, though I would counter that there's a lot of blustering about taking our country back but I haven't seen many serious attempts or people capable of actually planning and executing such a thing, and I've had a good bit of contact with what y'all would consider to be American far right rebels.
For all I know, the far righties talking about their revolution is about as productive as the tankies talking about theirs. Nobody sees a future in this country where the workers seize the means of production and we actually eat the rich, right?

I've enjoyed my time on the fediverse but have been disappointed with the leveling off of growth and lack of participation in niche communities. I still visit Kbin several times weekly, but it isn't like the old days when I would spend tons of time on Reddit. I have left my old Reddit account redacted and haven't started using it again, as that time is over. There are some communities and niche interests that unfortunately, it looks like Reddit will always be the main home for since we didn't hit the critical mass for people to move those communities over here. Because of that, I've started a new reddit account (with my real name attached, and started actively participating in those communities). For me, Reddit is no longer a place to anonymously participate in community discussions (because those discussions were becoming increasingly worthless alot of the time), but a place to participate with my IRL identity in communities related to topics or hobbies I care about. The anonymous community stuff is fulfilled by Kbin/Fediverse which I prefer now.

So I can say now after using it for a while that custom instructions was in fact a game changer. I’m using ChatGPT daily again for work and life things. Really exciting!
Awesome loop building live collab between two masters of chill music. Even if you’ve heard this on a streaming platform, this video has parts that aren’t in the Tidal/Apple Music version.

OpenAI, 10A can have his commission check :D I guess I’ll resubscribe the premium now, had cancelled when browsing was removed and I felt like I was getting worse responses for a bit. Now I'm excited to try this out.
Isn’t this customization just a UI for things you could already prompt and set up? I’ve been doing this since January and was really hoping new features this summer would be more revolutionary than a less efficient prompt setup method

This isn’t a problem. This is knowing how to reference community knowledge and technology instead of reinventing various shapes and sizes of wheels

You are right! I read and parsed it backwards and thought the comment was dire 🤣. Thought the OP was asking for plausible sounding falsehoods and the commenter said “you are loved and deserve happiness”. I retract my statement. I think Fediverse will stay nice. People on more main stream anonymous social sites are even mostly nice like this don’t you think?

Bigger instances and communities may end up being more PC over the years but I think smaller ones will retain this vibe.

Because of collapse or climate change? I don’t see the timeline as being that short at this time, but interested in learning more.
archived 12 Jul 2023 11:39:18 UTC I like the distinction between grief and anxiety. Never thought about it that way. I don’t have any answers just wanted to talk about this article and peoples thoughts on the feelings many of us have about the effects of CC and economic instability over the next 50-100 years.

I agree with this unpopular (around here anyway) opinion. People should do what they want to do and post/read where they want to, but I have 100% stopped using Reddit (after 12 years of Reddit - > Old Reddit - > Alien Blue - > Apollo. Overwrote comments and will delete the account once I’m sure no reversion of overwritten comments is taking place. Reddit’s gotta go, man. Even Twitter has a place in the world now, but I can’t forgive Reddit, it’s just gross.
Here’s what is collected by Threads, as well as by Twitter, Bluesky, Mastodon, Spill, and Hive Social.
Yay kbin.social is back! No Reddit since Apollo shut down and this was the first time I had that withdrawl feeling 😂. Glad to see the visual upgrades too, site looks awesome! [\#kbinMeta](https://kbin.social/tag/kbinMeta)
Underwater microphones designed to detect enemy submarines first detected Titan tragedy. I suppose there was some discussion on whether to conceal or reveal the tech and that’s why we’ve only heard of this now.
All Tomb Raider games are on sale on Steam. If you like action/exploration games and you know what else, some of the best ones are on sale for less than a dollar!
Starting 2 or 3 days ago I started getting daily summary emails from Reddit of activities in my subscribed subreddits. Did anybody else start getting these all of a sudden? Did I trigger something with inactivity re-engagement or something? [\#RedditMigration](https://kbin.social/tag/RedditMigration)
So this morning I overwrote 11 years of comments on Reddit with this message: In preparation for the discontinuation of Ah pall O (read it fast) I have decided to edit my posts/comments and then delete my account. Looking forward to seeing you on whatever comes next 🍻! – mass edited with [https://redact.dev/](https://redact.dev/) And I just had a thought. LLM / Generative AI devs and trainers are considering how to consume the massive amount of useful conversation and perspectives on Reddit, and now they will have to contend with random comments in the middle of conversations being completely unrelated to the conversation. Somebody is probably writing code to isolate and ignore these types of comments already 🤣 Happy fediversationing, everyone! [\#RedditMigration](https://kbin.social/tag/RedditMigration)
