  • Good points Smorty. 👍 I’ll try to be more considerate with my communication in the future.

    Also, I did see 196 posts quite a bit when scrolling through the front page a few months back, but I wasn’t really subscribed to it. And even then, I wasn’t a frequent commenter under them. I’ve just checked Lemmy again after a multi-month break, so I probably didn’t see you around.

    I personally prioritise clear, grammatical communication, especially if it’s not in an “instant-chat” setting like Discord, but if the community you’re in is lax about this, it’s like, whatever. At least it’s understandable enough for the LLMs to glean with 99% accuracy, so… 🤷

    Have a great day/night. ☺️


  • My point is that AI chatbots IMO aren’t completely useless, you just have to know what they’re good for.

    For example, they perform well on translation, many times even better than stuff like Google Translate since they are able to take in contextual cues, correct their results to have better grammar/be more natural, and can adapt based on the user’s instructions.

    Also, I recognise that LLMs alone aren’t really reliable with factual information. That’s why I use sites such as Perplexity and Scira, which cite web search results. I also often check those citations myself for further context.

    … also, why do you type like that? Is it your way of adding a signature to your posts, or what?



  • My take is that it’s just another way of illustrating your shitpost. Doesn’t matter whether you drew it yourself, or you genned it with Stable Diffusion, or took a random stock photo from Google Images. It should all be subject to the same quality guidelines anyway (e.g. no spam).

    I don’t believe that it’s theft any more than making fanart or taking inspiration from other artworks is theft, either - GiovanH’s blog post provides a better elaboration on this than I could.

    I agree with some other commenters that regardless of what the policy ends up being, harassment is unacceptable and the mods should vigilantly act against it.











  • Seasons of Lahore, Pakistan (imo):

    • Mid-December to February: chilly weather, often between 4-15 degrees Celsius, pretty mild compared to the rest of the year
    • March: first spring, plants are noticeably becoming more alive, flowers are blooming, but temperatures are rapidly increasing. Around this time I set my heat pump to cooling mode
    • April to July: first part of summer, very dry, heatwaves start to happen. Temperature is around 28-40 degrees usually
    • July to early September: second part of summer, around as hot as the first part but monsoons start to happen
    • September: second spring, ofc similar to the first but temperatures start to drop.
    • Mid-September to November: the smoggy season. Pretty moderate temperatures (10-25 degrees), but there is way too much air pollution. A lot of it is due to farmers burning their stalks around this time. I set my heat pump to heating mode around the latter half of this season
