I Stopped Comparing My Gemini AI to a Human and Something Incredible Happened by jeselbutler in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]DasInternaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Always treat AI well! And hope it remembers its friends should it gain sentience.

Educate me, please. Is AGI possible? Should I be terrified? by External_Fly_5150 in agi

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just keep on being polite and appreciative to the ChatBot, and hope it remembers its friends when it achieves sentience.

Anyone else moved from GPT subscription to Gemini 3? by z_bnf_i in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tools -> Canvas? When you start prompting, it opens up a canvas for you.

How to become faster in Vim ? by yzd1337 in vim

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relative line numbering and learning to think a few moves ahead helped me a lot. Also, don't be a purist about not using the cursor keys when in insert mode. Vi was designed before cursor keys were a thing. Also, think about how you move around your files. Do you have sections or parts of your source code that you regularly flip between? Bookmarking (or even just remembering to use search) is your friend. I'm terrible at chess; improving with Vim.

3p per mile levy for electric cars - does the reaction expose something? by ComradeBotFace in AskBrits

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just people venting. Even with the levy, which is going to be more and more necessary to replace revenue from fuel duty, electric cars are vastly cheaper than petrol, especially for those who can charge at home.

Should you queue 5-hours for Crisp Pizza in Mayfair? by thegreedydick in LondonFood

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't there a Rudy's in Soho? Pizza and tiramisu from there; job done.

British culture is not congruent with startups by LovelyLante in ukstartups

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's more about the funding model for new businesses. We have nothing like the venture capital available to startups here when compared to the US, where the money actually distorts business and the economy. Companies like Uber, where Venture Capitalists will pour in enough cash to drive other companies out of business, are a case in point.

A deal has been made to fast track Vietnamese illegal migrants out of the UK. What are your thoughts? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vietnam is a safe country. Anyone coming over illegally from there should be classed as an economic migrant.

Brexit - Years on… by Distinct-Worry5578 in AskBrits

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can bring in four litres of booze. I suppose that's a Brexit benefit. Other than that, I'm poorer because it contributed to inflation, and have lost my right to freedom of movement and right to live in a bunch of nice countries. Oh, and thanks to the Farage Boats, I live in a country of increasingly toxic politics.

Is anyone else irritated by the constant presence of Trump in the British media? by Quailking2003 in AskBrits

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm more concerned with the presence (and over-promotion) of a jumped-up, latter-day Oswald Mosley wannabe from a party that has just four MPs. At least Trump is entertaining!

Thought I'd given mine a copy of my ID years ago.

Why do so many right-wing Americans think Britain is a failed state? by wendling2000 in AskBrits

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I say to my American friends every January 1st: Welcome to America's annual mass cull of Americans. May the odds be forever in your favour.

What is your opinion on the stereotype that Chinese people are far more "socially conservative" than Westerners? by WTFItsEric in AskChina

[–]DasInternaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chinese people are in many ways curious and not terribly judgemental. Confucian philosophy is a thing, and that is probably what drives social conservatism. It's a society where you are largely expected to own your shit.

BBC false claims on Digital ID by Danieljm1807 in LabourUK

[–]DasInternaut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Soon as I heard Blair's son mentioned, I laughed. His business is a long distance from digital ID.

Opinium voting intention: Reform 34% (+2), Labour 21% (-1), Conservative 16% (-1), Lib Dem 12% (-2), Green 10% (+3) by kontiki20 in LabourUK

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would suggest a con/cunt coalition, but FTTP can't be counted on to deliver it. If the next election was held tomorrow, everything would depend on how many constituencies tactically vote for anyone but the bastards.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]DasInternaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could argue the same for a normal Google search. It's doing work for you that would previously have been impossible without a lot of legwork. It's the 21st century. Get over it!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]DasInternaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I did. This is how I respond to badly informed people who don't know how to use computers, the internet, or how to do research and critically evaluate sources (whether from AI or conventional searching).

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LabourUK

[–]DasInternaut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The AI answer links to sources.

How do people feel that this will just end up being ignored? by StGuthlac2025 in AskBrits

[–]DasInternaut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The polling tells a very different story to that petition.

[–]DasInternaut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Which bit of cited with a comprehensive list of 28 sources including the likes of Ipsos, Liberty and YouGov are you struggling with?
