There's an incentive for authoritarian goverments to use AI even if citizens cant afford to use them, I mean i do feel customers will always to be able to afford AI to some capacity, prob will cost more than now if AI "collapses"

    My definition of restrictive is having limited access to the things people who don't live isolated have access to. I've lived both on a capital city an a more rural/countryside area, even on the countryside there are cameras on buses, hospitals, gov buildings, on houses, of not all houses like in the city, but if you go out anywhere even here, you will get recorded. (unless you go to a place without people, which as I said would be restrictive)

    My perspective of reality might be "warped" as you say, but does that change any argument I'm making? Or it's something you just wanted to say?

    Cost aside, what worries me is your every thought (or an approximation) will end up written down forever in some database tied to your identity. I don't mean absolutely every single human being on the planet earth will use AI to be competitive, but I do think it will be to such a high degree that it will feel like everyone is using AI to stay competitive.

    I'd say, "virtually everyone". For some time I'm sure you can keep up, but over time, let's say 10 years for example, I do believe people who never use LLMs will be on a way worse competitive position than the people who use AI. Prob way earlier than 10 years tbh

    Thing is, we WILL allow it to be, most people are not on the fediverse or session/signal/simpleX, they don't give a shit about their privacy. Techbros, or corporations don't really need 100% of the people to be on board for this to become mainstream, and hell, while i choose not to use it, AI is creeping into even my banking and online shopping apps, I also can't even look up something to buy without logging in now, so every single search I do is tracked. There's no other option for online shopping in my country that even comes close to that one, so you default to using it.

    I don't know what a NAS is, but yes, local AI is something I'd really like to get into (can't atm due to money, but i will when I can save up) I think this will become so much more of a productive way to work that while we won't be "forced" directly into it, we will end up picking it up in one way or another in order to stay competitive, get a proper salary for food housing and health yknow?

    Wonder on what you guys think about this, if the future of work requires us to use AI/AI agents, and this is tied to a personal account (tied to our ID) how will that change work and our lives? Every tiny mistake, any curiosity, any eureka moment or inefficiency, all of those will be recorded, tied to your identity, forever and ever to the end of time. It freaks me out...

     

    Well, Gmail really wants me to use my phone it seems. Every single time that I try to log into Gmail with one of my specific accounts, it (doesn't happen for everything) no matter how carefully I type the password and no matter if I check the little box to see the password before I send it The password will be always wrong. The second time it won't be wrong, it will be right. But after typing it for the second time, it will ask me to go fetch my phone and check the security feature there. Has this happened to anybody else?

     

    I know the word normies may have weird connotations, but I just mean that, regular everyday people.

    I've been enjoying Lemmy a lot and even recommended it to a few close friends who are working in tech. But I would like Lemmy to be way bigger, maybe have those makefriends communities like reddit has, be it gaming friends, just for chatting, for voicecalls, etc etc...

    But I also wonder, could growing Lemmy indiscriminately be a bad thing? As you relax filters and barriers to entry, yes, more people can come in, but I have a feeling the quality of the people might go down aswell.

    Is a clique-like platform what Lemmy is supposed to be like? Or is it supposed to try and absorb as much users as possible and be just a user-managed user-owned reddit alternative with no ads and less censorship?

    I believe the answer may lie somewhere in the middle, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, as I'm a total newbie on here.

    (Also I understand private dms on Lemmy are not secure, but you can keep the idea of the "r4r" community and just drop a matrix or session link in dms, not perfect as the admins can be what username you sent out, but at least it ends there)

     

    Heyy, how's it going? After finding Lemmy and pushing myself to try it out I'm loving it, so if this is the reddit alternative, what about that discord alternative everyone's talking about? Matrix. Tried downloading Element and got some kind of error message at the beginning, it's probably fixable, but I could also not bother and get a different client. Anyone that uses Matrix has clients they'd recommend?

     

    Well, a random creep messaged me on reddit, after a few messages exchanged he said he looked up my private profile on google and read through my posts. Outside of how angry I was at him for doing that, it surprised me that google does this, It even gave an AI OVERVIEW of who I am on reddit, (I have posted my age and country on reddit, and a few other things ofc, but the others describe what im into and what I do on reddit, not tied to any personal info, so its just my age and country really) But what the fuck google? I know you can look up people in places like ghostddit, so I wasn't expecting my profile to be 100% private either, but it's crazy you can find it straight on google. I guess its slowly coming to a point than ANYTHING you do online is gonna visible for EVERYONE. Yes we were already being surveilled, but this and then the discord thing with messages from servers showing up on google too? I'm pissed off man. (I know lemmy is not private either, but I don't have a google account tied to here, the one email I used to register didn't ask me for phone verification so its not as bad to hang out here, might look into matrix later)

     

    Hi, how's it going? I've been daily driving mint with i3 for a while now, (takes like 500mb idle ram) but I always hear mint being called a newbie distro, I know arch is harder to set up and more customizable for example, but overall im wondering, in which cases one would go from mint to another distro? what can make other distros "better" than mint? i'll end up using a window manager (i3 or if thats not availible some other lightweight one) so differences in desktop environments i dont really care that much about

     

    Hi, how's it going? I was looking up mechanical keyboards and people saying they feel so much better to use (my membrane doesn't feel to bad at all so it really intrigues me how something could be better, I've never tried mechanical keyboards before)

    And alongside that, I wonder if a mechanical keyboard can be as quiet/quieter than a regular membrane keyboard, I don't wanna bother the humans around me with loud af clicky noises.

     

    Heyy, I'm learning programming and trying to choose a focus, I saw you can make web/backend w node, desktop (bloatware but discord uses it so if it works it works), games (not AAA and not optimized for performance but it shouldn't matter for indie too much) Is there anything that compares? I wanna focus on one thing instead of spreading myself over a ton of languages, I do feel js is interesting for this, but I'm just starting out, so looking to hear some thoughts of people more familiar with programming.
