Can confirm. Discovered that this morning.

The sentence structure is kinda wonky coming from English, but the vocab isn’t bad. There are tons of cognates.

I don’t disagree conceptually, but English has been a lingua franca for a long time now.

Close. It’s flea market.

It’s not that bad. It’s just German for flea market. And English speakers shouldn’t have an issue with at least “Markt”. Not far from a cognate.

Definitely better names but I think the bigger hurdle is getting the critical mass to get something like marketplace to work in the fediverse even with the perfect name.

Justice* Thomas has already stated that they judged wrong on Obergfell v Hodges and wants another bite at the apple. And optics is a thing for other branches of government (lol) given how much wild and open corruption we’re seeing. No, I don’t believe my marriage is “settled law” or that the justices want to avoid flip flopping. They’ll do as their owners tell them.

Oh. Yeah, definitely. That would be way worse.

If you look at the vein(?) on the north side of the loop, there’s a part that goes straight north and then east, with a break in the north leg. Makes it a lot more clear that it was zoomed in.

Anyone else bothered by the sudden change in scale in the last image? It’s way zoomed in compared to the first 3.

Ok fair, that misinterpretation is on me.

I feel like both of us have lost our minds with what a dumb thread this is.

I’m allowed to strongly associate two groups of people who I’ve found to have similar patterns of behavior. You’re allowed to dislike me for having an opinion you dislike.

Or you’re a real AI whom I’ve offended and for which I apologize. That’d be a fun end to this nonsense.

You imply I am a grifter? Quite the stretch. I’m curious how you got there. A vague reference to my profession brands me as such?

Sure. And the right thing is not tolerating grifters.

Yup. I’m ok with having a negative, poorly backed opinion of grifters who’s lies fall in to my area of professional expertise. And if one of those grifters get butthurt about it, all the better. If they didn’t want to be offended by people not liking their bullshit, they shouldn’t be active detriments to society at large.

Wasn’t an argument. It was an anecdote. I feel there is insubstantial difference in character and behavior between crypto bros and ai hype people. Given that we are discussing large populations, overlap will occur. It has been my experience that they are generally the same people.

Thus “I feel” instead of some kind of demographic analysis. If you are offended by this, maybe don’t associate with willfully uninformed grifters and their victims.

And if I use “I feel” instead of a more concrete assertion, it’s clear from context that I don’t have any data to back that up off hand and am implicitly making a wider assertion that the people they hyped crypto are the same or akin to the people who are hyping AI.

Feel free to disprove me.

I was using cryptobros as a proxy for the people that hyped AI. I feel like that venn diagram is a circle.

It’s not completely useless, it just not the silver fucking bullet that the cryptobros promised it was. It can do a lot of cool shit, but we keep trying to make it do things it’s really not equipped to do.
