Back in my day people went to 4chan for advice, and the people on 4chan told you that you’re probably going to die and then called you a slur
🧙🏼♂️
I wish most people held this sentiment but irl most people I’ve talked to about it are all for “ai”
I sometimes forget (due to wishful thinking) that lemmy and all is instances are a very small percentage of internet users and that most people irl aren’t as progressive in their ideologies.
Coming to Lemmy reminds me of when I was a teenager (from the US) and I visited Ontario for the first time.
In the US, things I said would’ve been met with, “That’s unAmerican! If you don’t like it here, you can get out!” In Canada, I’d say the same things and people would be like, “Well yeah, duh, doesn’t everyone think that?”
That was back in the Bush Jr era (2005-ish) and the USian cult was already thriving. Being around sensible people was a “restoring faith in humanity” experience for me. I remember looking up to see Canadian flags and feeling this intense sense of relief, knowing I could say things that really should be common sense without being attacked for it. A true land of the free.
Again, this was around 2005. I know Canada has its MAGA-lite, but I was in the Greater Toronto Area and didn’t encounter anyone like that at the time.
Anyway, that’s what coming to Lemmy feels like to me. I’m still stuck in the US, but the international presence here does well in reminding me that I’m not out of my mind for thinking a government should function to serve its citizens, rather than that the citizens should keep bowing down despite the government screwing them over repeatedly.
If StackOverflow was actually still useful and not hostile and people actually wrote proper documentation for their code I wouldn’t be forced to use an LLM if I don’t want to wait hours or even day for an answer on a discord server or a forum. Even a wrong answer from an LLM is more useful than a passive aggressive snarky response on StackOverflow.
Not to forget, that Lemmy users are not a homogeneous group either.
I dont know, lotta femboy coders here
Don’t tell me what to do
Try and stop me
Well, I’m quite anti-work, so automation is a must in my view.
Well yeah chatgpt just reads and then misinterprets reddit comments
Somewhat reasonable. Reddit from 11 years ago was a much better place.
Most of the good reddit comments now show something along the lines of deleted
Reddit was a great place 11 years ago.
Yeah, what?
I’m assuming they mean yeah that a lot of Reddit is now full of bots and there are a lot of comments or posts that are redacted, which means helpful information is missing from older posts
And oh, astroturfed by human bots as well.
Reddit has always been a site where confidence brought more updates than actual knowledge, so maybe keep that in mind when reading the site
