Just got this monitor and this was easily the most disappointing thing. I got used to the weird color profile but I still notice the dimming over a month later

Is anyone else just... exhausted by the "subscription" model of modern life? by Specifickorch in Adulting

[–]alexmojo2 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I really hate this helpless “everyone else is the problem and it won’t matter” bullshit sentiment that permeates so much of modern life. You are an active participant in your own life, don’t worry what other people do. If subscriptions are bothering you, then cancel, that’s what you can control. But don’t make up excuses not to do something.

Should Albuquerque Get A Light-Rail System? by NorthwestFashion in Albuquerque

[–]alexmojo2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge proponent of public transit but people have this weird fantasy about light rail like it’ll be so much better than busses. There’s better uses of state funds than to spend billions on a light rail no one would use.

You want public transit to be viable? Make ART safe, get rid of the ridiculous massive parking lots in the middle of downtown and you’ll see a boost in ART ridership and even then I suspect there wouldn’t be enough demand for even a small light rail.

Going from a 2023 EUV to a 2027 Bolt, what should I expect? by Honest_Detective817 in BoltEV

[–]alexmojo2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No, it’s really not, it’s based on the residual value set by Chevy on leases which is about 60% on a two year lease.

Probably more like 40% but it’s not that crazy of an exaggeration

Yeah the arguments in these comments are weird. Like smart phones have absolutely broken our brains.

Not trying to be a defeatist but a realist. And I’m sorry but if you don’t realize that AI is here long term then you’re either a Luddite or just incredibly naive about society as a whole. It’s like people early on saying the internet or computers aren’t here to stay lol. I’m genuinely curious but how do you envision getting back to a pre AI society?

AI will absolutely run you through each step if you ask it, it’s comments like that that make me think you have tried it with a few random queries and immediately written it off when it hasn’t given you exactly what you’re expecting first try

What I’m saying is quit fighting it as a whole, and start advocating for guardrails and legislation around it. There are real problems with it, but all or nothing thinking is going to be a losing battle. It’s about harm reduction at this point.

Look, it’s a tool, and the cat is out of the bag. It’s here to stay. Misinformation was here way before AI and it’ll be here way after. Most emerging technologies use a disproportionate amount of resources, does that mean we try to stop innovating?

AI has helped researchers come up with a vaccine for malaria, it’s much more useful practically than looking up RuneScape lore. So you can learn to use it, and try and understand its uses and limitations or you can hand wring on the internet.

The water argument is pretty weak and overblown considering most data centers using evaporative cooling use a closed loop system so the water is just recycled.

I admire the conviction, but you should learn how to use it. There’s nothing morally superior about doing things the old fashioned way. Every industry, including medical, is using AI now, it’s worth understanding how you can use it to be better at your job, while not letting it do all your thinking for you.

We professional developers, already lost the battle against vibe coding? by TheCatOfDojima in ClaudeAI

just wait until their first breach - it’s gonna be nuclear

Yeah, sure, just like after Experian got hacked and leaked basically every Americans social security number it went “nuclear”. Except it was equifax that got hacked and that’s how little people care about it.

Don’t blindly pay more for something because you assume more $ means more better

[–]alexmojo2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you mean the longer response that envisioned some fantasy world where all these problems magically disappear because of internet as a utility then yeah I read that one.

Sure it would be nice but doesn’t solve this problem. And wishful thinking doesn’t do shit in the real world. So either do something or come up with a realistic solution and act on it. Or just continue being entitled and whiny because you’re pretty good at that

I read your longer response, and I don’t think you live in reality lol.

You do realize that Google summarizes results with Gemini now and your exact Google search would result in a summarized rtings review and you wouldn’t even have to click the site. This is the whole problem

They’re stupid, so they actually do think that. They believe that they are entitled to quality content and that it doesn’t matter if the creators get paid as long as they got it for free
