I’m so mad that my open source software made by a single developer in his free time who loves coding and helping other people is slightly worse in quality than a multi-million dollar dedicated project.

It’s obvious that this question was written by a child or someone learning the English language, given your spelling mistakes, grammar use and references, however:

ELI5:

The answer is yes, we can have “good AI” like JARVIS, but AI is still early and doesn’t make money for companies.

Companies make money selling a product, and AI isn’t a product because it isn’t something that belongs to them. So they sell people’s information that they get when people talk to the AI.

But that doesn’t make enough money to pay the bills for AI, so they charge subscriptions. People who pay the subscriptions want to use the AI “for evil”, as you put it.

So in the end it’s about “making money” with the AI, and JARVIS does not make them money.

If you learn a lot about computers, you’ll have your own JARVIS. I have one. It takes dedication, like anything else in life. Good luck with your school project.

Damn. Really? I guess I’m lucky. I specifically avoided watching Deep Space 9 as a kid because TNG was on.

I’ll live your dream for your buddy; I heard the show’s about a non-moving ship, which still has a captain for some reason, Benjamin Sisko or something

That’s an interesting hypothesis you’ve cultivated. It needs additional testing, however, I’d like to add on the impact of intergenerational trauma and genetic drift, there’s systemic runoff of abuse which impacts future generations within a specific animal group, resulting in evolutionary and social adaptations.

Enough of these adaptations kill a planet or a species, I’m afraid.

You were right

Convinced a long distance friend to change their major from Acupuncture to Computer Science before they ruined their life.

They’re doing better than I am, now.

I began using Lemmy abruptly after quitting Reddit after the API fiasco of last year. With the third party apps on Lemmy like Voyager (lol), picking up the slack.

People don’t give a shit what service or server it’s hosted on, as long as it’s free and they can continue to interact with other users, because that’s ultimately, what matters, the community.

If you were having a party with some friends watching the Superbowl and some random corporate ass clowns came in and said: “Pack it up, we’re charging you for the privilege of talking to each other and also we’re selling your conversations on the Internet”, you’d give them a swift kick in the ass.

The content is yours, you made it, you spent the effort, the mental energy, the loss of actual lifetime to create it, post it, and share it with the world.

And then they want an IPO and pat themselves on the back for stealing. Get the fuck outta here, y’know?

Lemmy rules.

I once had one of those crypto-people message me with a sales pitch, asking for money to help start their small business in Africa or something like that (can’t remember what, I think it was a micro-brewery)

As an actual business owner, their initial ideas sounded okay, and I began forwarding them resources on how to secure a low-interest loan from their government and grants and stuff like that and then they abruptly closed up with:

“This is scam, brother. This is scam. You have good heart. I tell you only once, do not message this number.”

Valve is working hard on it to make absolutely sure it doesn’t suck.

Specialized S-Works bike for $150? Dude, that thing definitely has to have been stolen. They retail for like $4-15K.

A true blended language would probably be something like Esperanto. Personally, I prefer the Latin alphabet because it’s easier to write than the Oriental alphabet, or the Cyrillic, which creates so many curves in cursive that you might as well just be writing “mmmmmmm” (the word “teacher” in Russian cursive is a great example).

Higher K-Scale Civilizations have obviated the need for discrete languages entirely and communicate using brain waves/telepathy. No misinterpretation of any idea is possible when you literally present the exact thought form to another. The speed is also unparalleled: communication occurs at the speed of thought - no need to translate, encode, parse, decode, and conceptualize before information is transferred.

Says the guy who logged into Lemmy to post his negative comment, lmao

Myspace is also doing great, BTB

If only it worked the other way as well:

Doctor: “Your blood cholesterol is abysmal. Your blood is more similar to maple syrup than blood.”

Subliminal advertising: “Mmm, Coca-Cola means DEATH.”
