wow, old.lemmy.world is perfection.

Very cool!

To answer your question about quality: it matters because it’s not real. The act of producing something of quality is what makes us better people. It ties into motivation to be better. Computers automating repetition doesn’t hinder that (as much, it does affect learning curves). The notion that computers be used for an output that would normally require creativity is just throwing away the essense of creation, the end product is not the only thing that benefits us. There’s no objective to why it was created, an AI writing something that evokes emotion is a party trick. All it really does is promote consumption and demoralize innovation, and ironically it hides behind innovation as the end-goal of the project. It’s just dead. One of the most beautiful things within creating something of value is the very process of creating it, having the passion and desire to do so, and the will to bring it into existence. AI is a cursed attempt at trying to replicate this process, and by lifting that kind of burden from a human inhuman.

yeah being a toddler was fucking lit

Yeah that’s how I felt too. I remember being excited about g+, then I also remember aggressively turning off any association to g+ because no one was on it and it kept pushing it in my face. Come to think of it gmail was similar, invite only and that, but it wasn’t forced even at release and they made it look a lot nicer than what yahoo and hotmail had going on at the time.

gay people magic. beware

lol wtf, does that just slightly photoshop faces? Cuz technically that would be true

or is it some next-gen facemaker

that first one loaded

waiting for ERB to drop their next track

Of course, if they can figure out how to get past the sign in spinner buahahahaha

Ehhhhhhhh yeah they can stay over there. Totally free to join us here though, separately, on another account. They are the dark side, with the cookies and all. We have beans. Better nutrition.

Wtf. What possible good thing do they expect to see from meta?

shit, meta has no place in the fediverse. Evil bastards.

If anything anyone could also just pick a mail routing server, pay like $50 a year and have as many emails for as many domains as they want. I got one, I have like 8 domains pointed to it for emails. All I had to do was fill in the blanks for the DNS page for the domain (mx, and the spf+dkim) and all emails I send go to inbox like butter. Unlimited email accounts, takes 15 seconds to make, no phone no name no nothing just email+pass and it exists now.

gmail was nice for a bit, but shit man I don’t want to give my life story and phone number every time I want to make an email address.

I’m already working on just running my own instance lol. But no users, just me. That way I can federate/defederate with whoever I want and call it a day.

Well put, almost made me feel inspired till I remembered we’re just nerds on the internet hahahahaha
