Let me try with another example that can get round your blind AI hatred.

If people were using a calculator to calculate the value of an integral they would have significantly less diversity of results because they were all using the same tool. Less diversity of results has nothing to do with how good the tool is, it might be 100% right or 100% wrong but if everyone is using it then they will all get the same (or similar if it has a random element to it as LLMs do).

That snark doesnt help anyone.

Imagine the AI was 100% perfect and gave the correct answer every time, people using it would have a significantly reduced diversity of results as they would always be using the same tool to get the correct same answer.

People using an ai get a smaller diversity of results is neither good nor bad its just the way things are, the same way as people using the same pack of pens use a smaller variety of colours than those who are using whatever pens they have.

They in fact often have word and page limits and most journal articles I’ve been a part of have had a period at the end of cutting and trimming in order to fit into those limits.

Literally everyone learns from unreliable teachers, the question is just how reliable.

There was also a Harvard paper that was the main justification for austerity in the UK given its conclusion that past a certain GDP/debt ratio al sorts of bad things happen.

Turned out to be an excel error skipping 1/4 of their data and when re-run with the whole set the effect vanished. Horrible abuses of excel and csv files are by no means limited to any one country.

Ha no, I just have an extension to automatically add that to wiki links as I dislike the newer skin. I totally forgot it was there!

Its nice that you inform people that they cant tell if something is saving them time or not without knowing what their job is or how they are using a tool.

Its very common in all sorts of fields, Max Planck said that physics advances one dead professor at a time

If you want to be like that then “people” love trump and musk everywhere and its not unique to the UK. Saying “people here love trump and musk” when for example 55% of people in the UK have a “very unfavourable” opinion of him is very misleading. More people are very unfavourable than unfavourable, neutral, favourable very favourable and don’t know put together.

Why do people just make up shit and repeat it as if it’s fact?

7 in 10 Britons hold unfavourable opinion of Donald Trump

71% have an unfavourable view of Musk

If you read the article you would have seen that she said “sorry boys” after inadvertently revealing the winner was female during the build up to announcing the winner. A bit lame and infantilising, probably, but it was a marketing exec saying it so what can you expect?

Anything pre ~2000, graphics came on incredibly in the years at the end of the 90s start of the 21 century. The difference between FF7 (1997)

is vast

The US some how manages to spend more on public healthcare per person than countries with universal coverage, then spends even more than that on private healthcare on top.

If you dont understand the difference between trying to start by winning a mayoralty of a town of 10,000 people then some state legislature seat and trying to win the president of the USA without an existing power base I dont know what to tell you. I cant break that down to being any simpler for you as to why starting with the later before you’ve managed the former is pointless.

So do what I literally said before, build up a party, take places that you have a realistic chance of winning, build your parties power base and then take larger constituencies. That’s how a an organisation actually interested in political power would go about it with multiple years out. Not trying to jump to the highest level office in the land where the mathematical reality of the system insists that that one of the top two candidates will win.

Ah yes I’d forgotten about all those elections in a winner takes all system where a candidate was polling at 1% the day before election turned out to win it. Your obnoxious posting style really helped me remember that absolutely true fact.

So why dont you just vote for yourself? Clearly thats the only way to agree with your candidate 100% and it clearly doesnt matter to you what the odds of winning are.

If you want to get an actual left winger into office in the us you have exactly three options, entryism into the democrat party and pushing a left winger in the primaries (ie bernie, maybe AOC in the future), building up a new party starting by taking local offices in progressive places until the dems either have to pivot to the left or are replaced by you, revolution.

Ignoring reality and voting for a third party in the presidential election is nothing more than posturing at best and actively enabling the worst elements in society at worst.

• Lemmy is no better or worse than Reddit
• Pixelfeed is significantly better than Instagram
• Mastodon is much worse than Twitter

Seems to me pretty much an even spread of how good the names are
