It’s not even only about prepared meals. Most food products you find in the super market are entertainment luxury. Popcorn chicken is not substance neither is frozen pizza or import hand grown mangoes from Japan - it’s all entertainment in very literal sense of the word.

There is an ethical scale of how much we ought to sacrifice for this entertainment just like how much water we ought to waste on chat bots and if someone doesn’t see how a hamburger is worse than an llm prompt I think we can safely discard their entire argument. Thats the bare minimum litmus test.

Imagine building a strawman just to call someone stupid. Ironic.

If you can’t see that then you never even found yours to begin with.

You keep on whining and bullying people while we’ll continue on working with “llms that do not make our work better”. I think the market will eventually reveal reality as LLMs are never going away.

Small brained take

Common sense. Just look at your local grocery store or any restaurant - it’s all entertainment not “survival sustenance”. If you’d spent some time to actually classify this you wouldn’t need any proofs, it’s perfectly visible.

luddite doesn’t mean against all technological advancement, it’s a humanist stance on the ethical use of technology,

it does not - lets not rewrite history here. Luddites failed because destroying stuff doesn’t really work and that’s the lesson we should take. It’s easy to complain and break things but that doesn’t help anyone, real value comes from real efforts and real visions.

You are in a cult

nah you’re in a cult. I admit that LLMs are imperfect tools but to completely dismiss them is ludite, it’s crazy. It’s just a computer and computers are good. I understand the sentiment about billionaires and control and ecology but it is missing the forest for the trees. The tools need to be captured by us through open project that embrace LLMs rather than play this losing game with these fake-ass boycott that - realistically and statically speaking - will never yield to anything of value other than to produce toxic bullying this very thread’s topic is displaying.

You all need to do more and whine less.

Just so you’re aware, human being need food to stay alive

come on man be honest with yourself. 90% of food is entertainment not vital nutrition.

You know llm sources are just as verifiable as anything else right? All information is imperfect and has to be verified, period.

This whole thing is so sad. Dude comes out with “I’m addicted to chatting with LLMs” and people pile on him for what? Not saving a glass of water while 100$ says all yall still eat meat and do a billion times worse than burning some LLM tokens? Disgusting responses all around.

In general the AI ludites are so tiring. I wish this energy would be spent on something actually impactful like murdering animals for entertainment - yes thats your cheese burger - but these addicts are quick to defend their own addiction while sneer at other significantly less harmful ones.

Gonna go burn more tokens just for your sake now.

You have to remember the British rules over us for centuries and all our grandparents want to do is to imitate them.

is yours? Identify the subjects that are being blamed in this sentence. Take your time. I’ll wait.

Nah man I understood your comment and you do defer responsibility to “british ruling us for centuries and old people trying to imitate them” as if rape was not a big problem in the region for hundreds of years. I hate colonizers as much as anyone else but when it comes to this issue it’s not that.

Ah the good ol’ “everything is the fault of colonizers” deflection. Also it was not even a century that the area that is now Pakistan was ruled by British Empire - 98 years to be exact.

Only 40% of energy is stored and 60% is wasted in conversation.

Yes everyone’s aware hydrogen is small, no one’s contesting this but you still don’t need freeze store just as you said proper containers. The issue you mostly hear of hydrogen leaking is from dispensaries like hydrogen gas stations not long term static containers.

Remember that screenshot of Steam group “boycott modern warfare 2” with almost every player with “in game: modern warfare 2”

It’s already irrelevant in most places. If you’re non-American you only heard of Oracle’s Sun acquisitions like mysql, virtualbox or openjdk.

because everyone else already posted this 6 months ago

I know this is a meme but I think people look down on internet discussions too much. Obviously it depends on “arguing” type but reddit/lemmy is at least somewhat structured and depending on the community can be good faith and productive. For people who don’t live in a big city finding a community to exchange more niche thoughts and opinions (e.g. operating systems, design decisions etc) is incredibly difficult.

I have a related anecdote of being an assistant to older people in IT classes and intellectual starvation is a very big deal. Once people settle down, move further out of the city it’s hard to find discussions on their interests without internet comments. The real issue is Facebook groups which are often the only forums available to these people, and they are not fit for scratching this itch for intellectual stimulation as it’s design precisely for the opposite of that. This might sound silly, but old people need Lemmy.

Where are you getting that it needs to be “cryogenically stored”? It’s mostly stored as compressed gas.

The main problem with hydrogen is stores only 40% but with green energy surplus and 40% is better than 0% and hydrogen store systems are quite cheap and mature/simple so still relevant in highly developing areas like those of India.

It’s still a good battery for these specific niches so I wouldn’t discount this as some big oil propaganda
