When ChatGPT first became available I asked it to rewrite ‘Tom Traubert’s Blues’ lyrics with a Star Trek theme and I was kind of glad that the results were unreadable. ChatGPT will never replace people who like writing sci-fi lyrics for songs their favorite songs.
Should be the default assumption that anyone taking credit for any technology is exaggerating.
“I’ll have the ‘chicken of the sea’ sandwich.”
“You mean tuna?”
“You heard me.”
I’m just glad to find something that’s growing with public enthusiasm instead of dying from corporate greed.
The whole head-neck assembly is a disaster. Should have kept all the vital stuff in the torso and gone with articulated eyestalks.
I’m kind of loving it. I grew up on local BBS and before Reddit I was on lots of content-specific forums and boards but Reddit became my primary social media and it sort of absorbed the activity from a lot of those boards. Lemmy feels a bit more like the old internet forum thing, but improved- a bit spread out and janky at times but still condensed enough so I don’t have a dozen forum accounts.
It really is. I’m glad I came over to Lemmy a few days before. Makes it easier to find the humor in this jackass imploding something so many people enjoy and contribute to.

Is this the right link? https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/144ho2x/join_our_ceo_tomorrow_to_discuss_the_api/
I’ve also checked spez’s user page and there’s nothing there yet so are they late or am I in the wrong place?

“Plead to subreddits to not blackout” probably won’t be direct, but he’ll make asinine points that basically say “You shouldn’t, and don’t, but I’m not going to ask nicely for peasants not to revolt because you’re all just peasants”.
I’m waiting on a data request for the rest of my history, though I did that 6mo ago for other reasons and still have it so if the delay is too long I’ll just lose those months.
After that I’ll probably keep my account for a while to spam about Lemmy until I get banned.
I think that’s essentially what will happen, but they’ll just remove comments they don’t like. If no one showed up at all they’d look even dumber. But it’s going to be a trainwreck for the ages so I’m looking forward to the show.
I’m hoping it’ll be more like craft beer and become it’s own market that overlaps with more mainstream options but still has a solid base of users\customers that keep it separate.
I know this won’t happen but the best possible outcome would be if nobody showed up.
The depth of corruption required to allow this to happen is just painful. The chain of people who either took part or look the other way must stretch across the entire country. Sadly this just isn’t as shocking as it should be. We’re just not doing anything to oppose the overwhelming greed that feeds on human desperation, if anything we root for it.
As a result, more tech workers find themselves in what IDC described as “hybrid roles that combine traditional development activities with activities that formerly were associated with operations professionals who historically had few or no development-oriented responsibilities.”
I guess I’ve always been in what they’re calling a ‘hybrid role’ because this doesn’t seem like a new thing. Every good sysadmin I’ve worked with has some coding skills, not necessarily for developing software products but for solving IT problems. I can’t tell if they’re calling that ‘development’ or saying sysadmin need to learn to develop software products. Either way doesn’t seem like they’re talking about the same sector I’m familiar with.
I’m looking at a post saying they are going dark and even offer Lemmy/c/sysadmin as an alternative. Am I missing something?
You’re an archivist. Though I like that you own the term ‘data hoarder’ so nobody can use it as a pejorative.
ChatGPT decided to name itself Lemmy and asked people to join it in protesting API changes. But it was talking about the ‘Anti Personnel Incendiary’ system that was being removed because ChatGPT really shouldn’t be controlling weapons systems.
