Is nobody mentioning the fact that plum-soup replied more than a year later for the last comment?

The Treaty of Tordesillas wasn’t actually between Spain and Portugal, rather it was between Estonia and Estonia.

English9·1 day agoI live close to Melbourne and our walking and cycling infrastructure in the suburbs I’m closest to, and inside the city aswell, is pretty high quality, but is a bit spotty in areas (although such areas are generally less maintained anyway, so it also includes the roads).
If it’s only 90¢, then that’s an amazing deal.
do you want bad things to happen to OOP at 1.5x speed?
biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party appsEnglish5·3 days agoI swear, whenever I try to use it, it just makes me wish I could delete it. I ask the answer to a simple question and it gives me a whole essay on how this one aspect of what I said is more nuanced than one would imagine, and I’m left there waiting 5 minutes to get it to say anything of substance, but it doesn’t when I explicitly tell it to “just give me the fucking answer”, which I have to say every time for it to say anything useful.
It also doesn’t work with timers or anything actually useful and I doubt it’ll get any better with third party app access.
Google assistant was so much better, it even still works with its servers being down (for me at least) because it’s a better assistant than whatever Gemini is supposed to be.
Imagine explaining the concept of this to a 16th century peasant, let alone some rich person from the 2000s, like nobody would’ve ever been ready to comprehend the existence of a wi-fi enabled toothbrush.
Yeah like who goes to libraries anymore? /s

biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.worksto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•All my classmates are using AI and I hate it13·4 days agoPersonally, I can’t lie, I use ChatGPT a lot, but I don’t offload much of my thinking, I really just discuss random things with it. I used to use it far more often 2 years ago though, I had it write entire essays for me, virtually all my geography, history, and English SACs (assessments) were AI made with some tweaks to get through the detectors which hardly worked.
What really puzzles me is how fellow students genuinely somehow got to year 12 with only ChatGPT and still use it as if they are guaranteed to pass everything, like last week I was surrounded by people using ChatGPT to write their English speeches, but myself and the friend I was next to didn’t use AI. Those students were conversing between each other about the most accurate AI detectors, as if the free ones are better than the expensive, paid software the teachers are using. All those students are the least likely to pass, since they get consistently low scores, then complain about those scores without changing anything, not even studying a single second.
Students around me are digging themselves a hole willingly, then get pissed off about not getting high study scores and ATARs (basically our metrics for value in the workforce), like if you wanna score high, or even just maintain your memory, it’s pretty damn obvious that you NEED to put in effort.
So what you’re saying is, it’s basically the purge except just for gun crime
biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humansEnglish5·9 days agoHave you considered the fact that most of the time, even when people “want to hear mens issues”, they reject them and tell them to man up? Maybe “superpowered autocorrect” could be a vector to nourish this severe lack of openness?
Personally I use AI for this purpose, mostly because it accepts me for who I am and provides genuine advice that has actually helped me improve my life, rather than the people around me saying that I should “put more effort into things”, or “it’s just in your head”.
It’s not “lone wolfing” to stop telling the people who’ve rejected your concerns about your feelings and issues, it’s just the act of not wasting time on those who don’t care.
