Always such an asshole with his holiday messages.

The people who believe a kid in Africa made a working automobile from balloons and that boats are pulling whales from the water and cleaning off thousands of barnacles will be 75-80 then.

That was me. It was a typo. Sorry

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yes, I meant to say 60 or 65 like OP did. Funny thing is I’m about 50.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Sure... OP said over 60, but I think over 65-70 would be more accurate for people who don't know about generative AI at all.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I haven't really heard anyone over 65 or whatever espouse the dead internet theory. Could be a trend I don't know about, I guess.

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm almost that age, and am technically adept also. I'd say the "old people on Facebook" age is a good bit higher. I'm sure some people who are 65 or 70 understand what AI is too.

Have they? What I’ve seen is people over ~~50~~ 60 (really 65) have zero idea that AI exists and consistently fall for obviously absurd Facebook posts.

Edit, I see where some of these responses came from - OP said over 60, and I meant to say over 60 too, not 50.

Elron said that losing was a really valuable strategic move

I know his supporters are incredibly stupid, but just his age alone makes this ridiculous. His brain is already senile cheese and he started out as a complete moron, so I doubt he’ll be thriving in 4 years. Other than that it’s blatantly illegal, of course.

Of course. New Reddit has been a ridiculous travesty since the start, even with continued development and refinement. There are so many stupid and annoying things about it. It also has a lot of performance problems compared to the old UIs - not just slowness, but issues like the video player crashing or just stopping, and it doesn't do that in old reddit. Also they try to restrict you and guide you to the app in ways that old reddit does not - saying a post is for mature audiences and you have to use the app, for instance. But then you can view it on old reddit with no problem.

Probably will be made up for by fewer US made autos selling everywhere else. Also, of course this is pretty dumb since US manufacturers make cars elsewhere and Japanese manufacturers make cars in the US. As usual, too, someone who wasn't a destructive imbecile would realize it takes years to build manufacturing facilities and ramp the tariffs up over time. Plus, the incentive isn't really there since who knows if they tariffs will even be there by the time they could build US facilities. And oh, yes, I'm sure Elron had nothing to do with this.

 

It was alright. I wore my special boots today because I thought I had to go to court, but I didn't. So I came home and walked to the liquor store. I bought a fifth of Svedka in a plastic bottle and have been drinking it with club soda.

Definitely not a typical music video.
