Edited. Good call.

I got you, fam(ily). It has a real smooth, simple ring to it. ;)

Temu: contribute to the irreversible death of your own planet just to save some money on useless trinkets that are then shipped thousands of miles over the oceans using the world's worst polluting container ships.... like a billionaire.

That should be their slogan.

I think I would just need one. We'd have to work in opposing shifts to get my billion Euro idea out the door in a more reasonable time frame than the one I have currently been working in.

I think you’re probably just a dickhead.

In my case, whether I’m wrong or not, they actively discourage me from using my brain.

I'm an intellectually overqualified filmmaker surrounded by anti-intellectuals (I routinely get made fun of for being interested in technical stuff)....and right now, I am on workman's comp with a broken foot. So: exactly what I am doing right now is exactly what I would want to be doing.

What's that?

Mlem is my favorite too but they have a long way to go to catch up to Memmy for most of the functionality. It feels very solid compared to Memmy, though.

Yes. What a strange question...as if hivemind fads are somehow relevant to the merits of a technology.

There are plenty of useful, novel applications for AI just like there are PLENTY of useful, novel applications for crypto. Just because the hivemind has turned to a new fad in technology doesn't mean that actual, intelligent people just stop using these novel technologies. There are legitimate use-cases for both AI and crypto. Degenerate gamblers and Do Kwan/SBF just caused a pendulum swing on crypto...nothing changed about the technology. It's just that the public has had their opinions shifted temporarily.
