In fairness, AI has radically improved my personal productivity.

I can make an instructional video for an internal task, use STT to transcribe the audio and then have AI organize my dictation into instructions. Is it perfect? Absolutely not, but it does about 85% of the job and saves me a ton of time organizing and formatting.

Additionally, it is very good for other menial tasks. I needed a comma separated list of in time format 00:00, incrementing by 30 second intervals, up to 50 minutes. Time math and formulas are weird, having it create that saved me a lot of key strokes.

Could humans do these things? Sure, but it's not an efficient use of time! When I need it done, I need it immediately; and I don't need someone on staff for these random tasks as they aren't remotely frequent enough to offer anyone a semblance of consistent employment.

It wasn't just Lemmy, I know otherwise reasonably intelligent people who became literally brainwashed from TikTok. We're talking far left, never Trumper's, knew he was an existential threat, but couldn't have their moral superiority tarnished and HAD to vote 3rd party. They bought into that propaganda hook, line and sinker.

shocking - It's almost as if there was a coordinated media campaign to paint both sides the same, and convince a bunch of people to vote against their own self interests. Absolutely did not see this coming... Nope, absolutely not.

This was an older article, I think I've seen new paints so reflective they can actually cool the building down during, not just reduce its heat during the day time.

It's saving me a hell of a lot of man hours on incredibly tedious tasks that would require looking up individual items in a wiki or the like and then directly populating the answers into a spreadsheet... Our team doesn't have the budget to hire someone to do it, so it basically just wouldn't get done without it.

Useful party trick for me!

I don't understand why these passively cooling roofs aren't being used EVERYWHERE seems like an absolute no brainer.

Other people don't? It is a separate entity in many ways, from my understanding there are portions of the brain that react much more like an organ than what we perceive as our "consciousness.". I was actually taught to separate myself from my brain the "organ" and how it responds to situations differently than I would prefer haha

Ahh gotcha! Maybe it's just my paranoid mind, but wouldn't it be better to keep something like that run by vetted individuals rather than government? What's to prevent some nut job getting elected, even in Cali, and then doxxing people or something?

Haha kind of, depends on the individual! Most of my clothes don't have a visible label these days.

Could you please expand further on your idea of the mastodon accounts? Is this for safe social media use/communication that would be harder to track?

Thanks!!

You aren't thinking corporate profit centric uses...

We can put these on clothing so people can sell their personal ad space to companies!

Look at me, I am the billboard now!
