Man, I hate the word content.

[–] wise_pancake 78 points 5 days ago

I’m content with it

Product is a word I hate.

I have a warehouse full of product.

I mean unless you're a drug smuggler... Then that's fine. But using it for random lawn mower parts is dumb I think.

Me too. Ever since I read Richard Stallman's words to avoid article. I kinda wish I hadn't read it now lmao.

I'll definitely read it start to end when I have the time later, for now this is my favourite part of the article (Of the parts I skimmed through):

“Bullshit generators” is a suitable term for large language models (“LLMs”) such as ChatGPT, that generate smooth-sounding verbiage that appears to assert things about the world, without understanding that verbiage semantically.

Man, what a nice read

Yeah, me too. What the fuck is content? Content means contained in something. Contained in what?

Also, "content creator" = OnlyFans

Contained in the app you use, video you watch, article you read, page of a book, sentence in a paragraph, etc.
