Apparently Watson, the IBM AI that won Jeopardy, is actually pretty good at making recipes. That said, this is because it analyzes chemical compositions of known good recipes to find the compounds that make us like them and finds things that can produce similar profiles, rather than just sticking strings of text together in new ways.

Or take personal control. I have smart home stuff but I run Home Assistant and use ZWave devices, so it’s 100% local.

I use it almost exclusively - I’ve bookmarked Subscriptions instead of any other page. But it does feel like I’m unusual in this sometimes.

Asks chat bot to solve a problem

Chat Bot after being around the internet for a few days: “Good news, I now have The Final Solution to the real problem of our times!”

So when a charge is made against a credit card, you have the option to do a “chargeback” - this is meant to be used for fraud. In this case, the argument is that Reddit fraudulently changed the terms of the program after people had already paid - being in “material breach” means they made a binding promise to provide a thing and they failed to do so. Chargebacks are really, really bad for a vendor. They lose the money, and they get a penalty fee, AND if it keeps happening the credit card processor can crank up their overall fees or even drop them as a bad customer.

I just dumped all my old coins onto comments encouraging people to do chargebacks for any year-long Premium subscriptions since they’re in material breach.

I wonder if he was rattling a saber at McCarthy, and McCarthy let him know he had a saber to rattle right back.

As a side benefit, I also have all the money and free time to spend with furry children instead!

My concern is less Suckerburg as much as Meta’s corporate history. My expectation is that they’ll try to use this to conquer and destroy Lemmy.

Nope, had to look it up (I think I’m a bit older than Destiny’s original target audience), but just from a summary written about his political discussions I could see his brand of a pragmatic take on traditional liberalism being a good fit and am now curious to watch a couple of his videos.

Given the amount of time I spent over on r/neoliberal, it could fit, although I do tend to fall a bit on the libertarian side of it.

So I would consider myself at least reasonably inclined to thinking and somewhat conservative. Note, however, that does NOT mean Republican. When I use conservative, it’s in a different context than the modern “conservative movement”. The modern movement seems to be more regressive than conservative. Conservative in my way of thinking is about calm, measured progress. Don’t upend everything in massive sweeping changes… but don’t reject change either, change is necessary and inevitable. The more moderate Biden-y neoliberal wing of the Democrats is probably the closest to that these days - the more progressive Democrats with wanting massive social upheaval type changes and the Republicans favoring the repeal-and-replace burn it down and maybe fix the ashes approach to undoing those changes, neither of which appeals to me.

Then ![historynumber] to execute it

Each instance is actually an independent site running a copy of the same source code. What’s different is that they are cross-linked, so if you are on one, you can interact with any others that are federated.

Note that federation isn’t universal. Some instances choose not to connect to others (due to things like getting problematic users from ones with less strict review and such). I had to make a new account on here since I had been using one on Beehaw, which is a relatively stricter and more limited community, and they had unlinked lemmy.world.

So it’s a bit more work to use, but you get the benefit that there is no single central authority who can dictate things. You can move to the same topic in another instance or start your own instance.
