No i didn’t mean it like that, i’m sorry. It’s more of a reaction to the general vibe i get off lemmy while im in a period of trying to debug by brain. I probably misread what you actually meant. Most of lemmy is just frustrated and sad about things we have little control over. It’s more the general thread reminding me of healthy ways of thinking vs the rest of lemmy. your comment just happened to be where i was thinking out loud. sorry ><
maybe, but i see quite a few similar reactions in this thread that make me wanna leave this place. its just slowly starting to sink in for me that lemmy is a lefty echo chamber and its basically the same 20 posts rehashed every week by people with worldviews like this. how tf can anyone expect to change anything without hope. Idk man, im just dumping my thoughts but i think im gonna get the hell off this platform and anything similar because it’s not having a positive effect on me.
Do you think society would get to the point it is if everyone just wanted more power for selfish reasons? I think it’s more to do with the feeling of fulfillment that comes with responsabilities. Helping people feels good, even when you get nothing in return. Unless you expect something in return, then we’re playing a different game. But your outlook on life seems pretty bleak my friend.
Maybe he means in a context with your real name visible?
is this one of those “tech bros bad” takes?
Hmm, well i can’t really speak to any of that. But for the greater good, unions are a good thing. I understand that it makes difficult for you though.
I’d throw the obvious stuff at you like, but it’s kinda hard to get an idea of what could possibly help without knowing you.
I do know that i’ve had to change my attitude a few times in life to get by though, i don’t think autism should be used as an excuse to not have to do the hard thing everyone has to do (but is harder for us).
Right now, the only advice i can give is to try to channel that resentment into motivation to improve yourself. Trying and failing is so much more valuable than just giving up and being angry about it.
But yeah, i do have it easier than most so maybe it’s not my place to say things like that. I do wish you the best though.
I do feel the same way about things being easier alone though. i would be much happier and productive doing my own thing, I have a ton of software projects i work on, somd even make a bit of money, but running business seems scary since my administration skills are shit and customers are acary.
Interesting, im vaguely interested in this too. i have half of a world written that i want to turn into a game maybe (probably not but, amhaving fun) I have the hardware to turn what i have into an embedding for an open model, and the hardware to run it. So that’s the way i would go about it, though i can’t advocate for how helpful it would be (yet)
ChatGPT is overly safe, it’s a great tool to learn, more so than a teacher because you can freely ask it very specific questions in your own words and it will give an understandable answer. I think it’s actually a perfect tool for someone that age. Once the topics get too advanced, the results become less reliable though.
It doesnt make things up anymore as much as it used to. You’ll get the best results from the paid GPT4 subscription, which i would recommend.
The only real risk i see is overreliance on it. I notice this in myself too, it’s almost like i forgot googling things is an option, so when i’m stuck rather i just keep throwing prompts at GPT-4 until i give up and find the solution elsewhere within minutes. The way things are going, classic web search is becoming obsolete (unreliable result because of AI written content and fake news) while AI actively tries to be unbiased.
tldr: Yes, it’s extremely useful, make sure they don’t forget how to do things without chatgpt too.
It depends what you want it to do. For basic stuff, linux desktop works fine. If you need specific software i’d look into if it’s doable and how hard it is first.
Linux by default runs fine and without issues, if you pick a distro with stable releases. If you go with something like Arch, you likely will run into issues. If you want to do heavy modifications or run fancy software, you tend to run into issues. Thing about the fancy software is, it tenda to only work properly on linux, hence the issues being linux related.
If you’re a gamer, just don’t. A lot of people here will say you can run almost any game easily, but you usually need to do some fancy commands per specific game to get it to run properly. Which is fine if you just play one game occasionally, but if you hop between games or like buying the latest games, don’t.
If you have a specific preference for desktop environment, make sure it comes with the distro and is well supported by it. You can install whatever you want on any distro, but you have more chance to break shit.
I’d go with Mint or Ubuntu for your first try.
Let’s make a point that has nothing whatsoever to do with the original point so i can maintain my bullshit opinion.
Have you tried working for a small-mid size company? I got the same vibe in big companies, now im in a company of 50 people and they just do not care how weird i am, no middle managers trying to justify their existence, as long as you’re doing your best you’re good. Like i’m sure that doesnt apply to all small companies, but i’d certainly keep it in mind for the future
Hmm, how very 1984
I would look into NovelAI for writing, it’s quite specifically for that. It’s a paid servicd similar to chatgpt, but it’s uncensored and private.
You can run your own lightweight LLM on a laptop but the output will be useless. Good output requires big boy compute.
If you do want to run it on your own hardware, look into Ollama. There’s also options to run your own LLM in the cloud with a not too difficult process for non-techies.
Frankly, id find the right LLM for your needs and just pay for it per month, maybe novelai, maybe something else, but chatgpt is not great for creative fiction.
Microsoft does this painfully often
Yeah I made this account first before hopping to one more suited for me. Didnt turn out well there but generall if you’re pretty new i imagine most people arent too attached to their instance
Oh yes, let’s pick on the weak programming languages because haha funi
I hope so, let’s get some semi-healthy competition going, maybe they’ll even have to provide a better user experience instead of just seeing who can milk their users the most optimally. Probably not but one can dream.
Good for you! 😃👍
