  • Eh. I disagree with both other commenters. It’s fine to use AI in your process, but the author’s voice is important. AI slop in and of itself lacks the context of the human experience to really understand humor. But it can come up with an idea that a human can improve on.

    Up and down voting is the right solution here rather than banning. AI slop will get downvoted to oblivion, And even good AI content will be skewed more negatively than completely human art.

    That all being said, if mods want to ban it based on preference go ahead and someone will likely just create a board where it’s allowed, and people can self-select what communities they want to be a part of.





  • Exactly this. “We have maxed out the amount of money we can extract from people and have reached diminishing returns on profitability.”

    Why can’t anyone just create a billion dollar company that makes something people like and then be happy they can consistently earn $200m per year? Maybe ask the people what kinds of features they want and improve the service to increase the value to users once you need something for your staff to do when the product is complete.














  • Then it sounds very much like what is happening is that once your system starts using the swap file because you are using more memory than you have available RAM, your slow HDD is causing the performance hit.

    I would bet your two possible solutions are to increase the RAM (which will just mean you can do more stuff before you start hitting this performance bottleneck) or replace your HDD with an SSD. Give that it’s a pretty old laptop, I would bet your options for replacing the HDD are limited. As long as your RAM isn’t soldered in, you can probably just buy a compatible 16GB module and swap that right out.


  • You are right that coming together and accepting one another’s right to peacefully coexist is the moral thing to do, but as that is a practical impossibility I didn’t/don’t really credit it as a moral solution (failing the second word of the phrase, not the first).

    But look, people way smarter than me have tried to crack this nut and failed. I guarantee it won’t take a lot of effort to poke holes in anything I could say about this. I have my thoughts but always tempered by the understanding that I have more ignorance than knowledge about the realities of that situation.
