The AI will become utter garbage, mark my words. It will complete the downfall of the internet though first. What will come after internet? Hard to say maybe we will exchange culture in VR? Probably at some point every kind of forum will be unreadable from automated marketing and propaganda. Reddit already is. Lemmy is too small… yet but it will crash even harder if it is noticed by the wrong people. 2 years tops to enjoy this medium

Though I admit I am somewhat of a doomer inclined so maybe there is a way to create alternative that cannot be poisoned

Unfortunately so much stuff on the web is astroturfed it’s hard to form a good opinion nowadays.

Even the products reviews or maybe especially these it’s hard to tell what is true nowadays and what is fiction or misinfo

Id love to brush it off and say eh just paranoid but there’s real money and motive.

Reddit was relatively good for some time but then I heard it’s already full of marketing

Is this even legal? I mean let’s say you send some kind of trade secret to your friend with google sms app and they gather it with AI.

Also you never agreed to their terms and conditions as an external user! There’s some slippery legal ground here I feel

As always - extreme. 5/7 days I feel like a god(dess?) and other 2 like something slimy at the bottom of the barrel. Today is one of the worse so I need to watch myself to not say something stupid and not be a complete troll menace but if I survive then in 2 days I come back again with boundless love for the world yay.

Hard to get used to this rollercoaster sometimes I just need to not use any social media in those 2 days but always fail haha

Also bought whole apple lineup watch, phone, laptop, ipad, airpods this week suddenly because now I am an apple fangirl.

But it made sense right, I wanted to use google comfy life easier making features but didn’t want to give up my privacy or install some graphene os madness that would make life just harder

Starfield problem isn't execution but the design. It was the least problematic launch ever

Holidays! Almost the end of them and I am so tired I must say. In a good way I think but I will need to recover at home for a few days.

I am addicted to internet and mmos and I managed to curb it a solid bit due to holidays but it never lasts honestly.

Here I was doing 10k steps a day bare feet on the beach walks, generally being more healthy than at home and I fear I will slump again into my old habits of sitting and mmoing all day. Already bought ffxiv complete edition on sale.

Frankly lemmy is also part of my eternal crusade against digital addictions

I want to eat sprouts made by me every second day for super health feeling I like them but I seem to always forget about such a simple thing as washing the sprouting jar morning and evening.

I considered some kind of electronic device with a red Led light catching eye or even blinking that I put near the jar and it activates at 8:00 am and I have to press the button to deactivate the blinking.

So I have arduino lying about and there is realistically 0 percent chance I will finish this diy after 8 hours of hypeffocus and 3 changes of scope (more ambitious)

Thanks! This will be very fun dive into memories

I was literally daydreaming about some of these, staring at box graphics so long

I sometimes wonder what constitutes betterment. If it is happiness or on the contrary feeling temporarily unhappy to feel happier later ? Is it attaining values that contemporary society has deemed desirable?

Health sounds like one aspect that is objective. Physical fitness, mental wellbeing. But what if things that society puts on pedastal degrade our mental and physical health? Is it worsement ?

I guess the question is collectivism vs individualism.

Sorry about this, for some reason once a month I have a few days when I use social media in questionable ways

Lemmy definietly got me into degoogle and foss. Or rather latest reddit situation interested me in these concepts :p

I always liked the idea of decentralized web a lot but it wasn't until the reddit fall that it stopped being abstraction and instead there is a real platform it seems with a future
