It’s hard to explain jokes when you don’t understand them.

Cool helmets.
What’s all that shit for, though?

That was underwhelming. Thank you anyway.

Yeah, these must be American things. Never encountered them in Europe in a non-professional setting.

Why didn’t she order the large one?

Oh. Thanks. I never knew any of this. Also, TIL that the last name of one of my favorite authors, Paulo Coelho, means “rabbit.”

Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?

Hmm, thanks but those patterns are a bit too subtle for me.

Seeing how Paul McCartney is on Lemmy news today, I just learned that he also used to do cut-up at times.

At least some of them have to be paid.

Remember when, in the early days of social media, “average” people were put on display in the MSM saying stuff like: “Privacy is dead. So please do like me and plaster all of your personal data all over the internet. It’s a thing all of the cool kids are doing right now.”
Who just does that, like from the bottom of their hearts? Come on.

It’s like the curse of the mummy, if that mummy was tens of millions of years old… and had turned into a black liquid.

I used to think “smaller subs can’t be infested with bots, right?” Then, over time, I noticed a slight, but ever-increasing trickle of mistakes a human would never make, often in seemingly well-thought out and empathetic replies. At closer inspection, they turn out to be just very nicely phrased, mundane truisms, or their facade totally falls apart, revealing weird, bland, pointless nonsense.
LLMs seem to be doing very well for English and, I keep reading, Chinese, because there is so much material to train them on. Their quality rapidly decreases with the number of speakers a given language has, though. I’ve learned to quickly spot LLM output (or so I tell myself) in my native language, and it’s always so disappointing.

Years and years before the pandemic, I frequented a popular sort of self-help forum. There was always this one “guy” that had a perfect response for every and any question you threw at him, usually within 30 minutes or so. Always at least one full paragraph. 24/7/365. At one point, I remember seeing that he had given more than a million responses. In hindsight, that’s clearly not human behavior, but at that time, I had no idea what was going on.

“Mom, you told me all women have pubes.”

I’m talking to you.

My guess: It’s been MLM all along. If you, as an investor, were late to the party, your money is all gone now. If you were early, and especially if your last name is Zuckerberg, you own it now.

For real, though. Or they get houses, kids… Both of these things still happen a lot, regardless of what social media is telling you. Then they just kind of submerge, until the kids start leaving the house. And then things will be similar to how they were before, but never really the same again.
