It’s a hugely disruptive technology, that is harmful to the environment, being taken up and given center stage by a host of folk who don’t understand it.

Like the industrial revolution, it has the chance to change the world in a massive way, but in doing so, it’s going to fuck over a lot of people, and notch up greenhouse gas output. In a decade or two, we probably won’t remember what life was like without them, but lots of people are going to be out of jobs, have their income streams cut off and have no alternatives available to them whilst that happens.

And whilst all of that is going on, we’re getting told that it’s the best most amazing thing that we all need, and it’s being stuck in to everything, including things that don’t benefit from the presence of an LLM, and sometimes, where the presence of an LLM can be actively harmful

I’m one episode in and I was already wondering whether I’d bother to watch any more. Guess I won’t be

5 years ago, you contacted someone you met when you were both adults, which was presumably years before that? And her parents were mad at you? I’m not sure how her parents opinion on this matters to anyone but her parents?

Exactly that!

“trans identified individuals”, with an hour old account…

Sure, you’re “just asking questions”

Well, I’m a little bit excited

Russell island?

I tried to love that trans pride theme, but the nicest thing I can say about it is that I’m happy there is explicitly a trans pride theme :P

That looks to be a bug or something, because the formatting options are there when you edit your comment. I’ll raise that with the dev.

Look at the account I’m replying to you from :)

In my experience, ADHD meds make it easier to stay in task rather than getting distracted, but they don’t make it any easier for me to actually start tasks!

People must really like Pie! We just did the same thing with Blåhaj Lemmy yesterday!

Threadiverse was a thing before Threads was a thing…

And it specifically refers to the subset of “reddit like” ActivityPub platforms, so it’s more specific than Fediverse. Threadiverse instances are part of the Fediverse too, but they’re quite distinct from Mastodon etc

The last thing lemmy needs is more centralisation on lemmy.world

If that happens organically with enough communities, then it might be something we consider, but I’m not going to push people to uproot their communities if they don’t have to.

We now have a PieFed instance for those who want to avoid lemmy altogether!

Like many others, honestly, I’m more frustrated with conversations that downplay the impact of ADHD on my life. It has upsides, and in a different world it may not be a deficit, but in this world, it adds barriers and difficulties. It sets me on the back foot compared to my peers. As long as the language were using if lets me talk about the struggles and downsides, without forcing me to pretend that it’s a net neutral or net positive in my life, I’m ok with it.

What a pretty butterfly :p
