If I tried LaMDA? No, truth be told, I only found out about it when ChatGPT blew up. The reason I said itās not as good as ChatGPT is because thatās what most articles I find online are saying: ChatGPT delivers information in a plainer, clearer way than anything on the market right now.
That said, my original statement is misleading, sorry about that! Iāll make an edit immediately.
Oh, for sure. They even have their own chatbot called LaMDA. Trouble is, reports are saying that itās not as good as ChatGPT and Google knows this. Right now theyāre in panic mode.
Iām glad this is getting more attention. Iāve recently tried joining a community for mental health only to find out they hang out on Telegram, which was alarming to me. I would hardly call a space owned by a company who sells data to government agencies a safe one. Regrettably, I wound up not joining because of this.
See, I donāt think it is. While Reddit has many, many problems, most users seem to be okay with it. Heck, until about year ago, there was a subreddit called WatchRedditDie which had ample proof of Redditās shortcomings. However, Reddit never really died, corporate interests just took over. After this revelation, the mods of the subreddit rightfully gave up and archived the subreddit. I believe Reddit will only die when a mass exodus of users takes place, which is just not happening right now.
Canāt speak for everyone, but I only connected a smart TV to my Wi-Fi network once and regretted it immmediately. Why? After that, it wouldnāt forget my wireless password and kept connecting to the internet, even though I didnāt want it to. That is why Iām never connecting another smart device to my network again, unless Iām double-dog sure I want to.
I am a former reddit user. Well okay, lurker. I liked the concept of reddit, but hated the issues that their team left unresolved: power tripping mods, censorship and later the whole Ellen Pao debacle and it just got worse from there. So I started looking for similar sites. I tried Aether, Tildes, I think I was also on Raddle at some point. Then I found Lemmy and here I am.
Near as I can tell, this whole thing started with John Deere tractors. US farmers wanted to repair tractors themselves, because the alternative was calling up someone to have their tractor towed to an official John Deere⢠repairshop, which was usually hundreds of miles away. The tow alone would cost them hundreds of dollars. So, they sought legal help, went to court and this is when other companies like Apple and Microsoft caught wind of this story and didnāt like the precedent one bit. After all, why let the users repair their own stuff, when the companies could be earning money on repairs? Thatās why this outcome is so important.
Anyway, thatās the quick and dirty version. If youād like to know more, Vice made a really good video about it two years back: https://youtu.be/EPYy_g8NzmI
Just note that while the Humble Store does sells some games DRM-free, this isnāt their focus like it is over at GOG or itch.io and a lot of game keys sold there come with Steamās DRM. On a related note, Steam actually does sell some DRM-free titles. A fairly comprehensive list of those can be found here.
It feels like torture, too. I gave it a quick watch and theyāre just⦠rambling. Thereās a laugh track sprinkled in here and there, but I promise you, itās not funny.
