Something about the best time to plant a tree

Yeah I get it. Not everyone is as ideological (not a putdown). I just left all those groups. They know how to reach me when they want to chat.

I think I might actually hate Discord more then both, so my hope is that this just makes them leave my communities alone somehow

Yeah I hated it from the word go. It was always the poorest option. Everything about its UX makes me cringe. Even fucking slack by now Salesforce is somehow better.

Every moment I deigned to use Discord I felt like there was friction between me and the people on the other end of the application. Like typing while wearing gloves and getting interrupted every time I wanted to do anything.

How the fuck is anyone still using Discord.

Funny, I feel like it’s the opposite. I appreciate the use of a local LLM over renting GPU time, but unless you trained the model yourself I’m still not in love with the source.

Also it’s just made my entire field unstable and less fun.

Friend, you’re clearly getting tilted. Every single reply has a highschool tier dig tagged on for no reason.

You know you can have actual discussions with people in these threads, right?

Lol. “Look at it go on my personal project, wow I could never! I am a title worm! Go Sam Altman!” It really does work. What a great term haha

Probably the nicest way to put it, all things considered

Present!

(Please I am begging you Americans to keep up the pressure! Keep going for woke!)

Figures we’d be one-upped by crabs. Somehow… I always knew it would go this way…

So if you’re familiar with the Overton Window, can you guess which way comments like this move it?*

I’m not saying you mean ill. I’ve got a little bit of doomer in me too. Been there. But if you lose your capacity for hope and outrage you become an instrument of those that want to keep things shitty for us.

*Only microscopically, but still. The hopelessness and helplessness add up.

How the fuck did the Bs manage that one?

No safe harbour for billionaires. Let them take their billions to some little crab island with no taxes but many many crabs.

Sorry we’re enemies now. We have to fight anytime we’re in the same thread. I wish it didn’t have to be this way.

I mean it’s clean room but without even having to pay highly skilled engineers to do all the labour. It’s pretty catastrophic to the field.

I’m doing great now, thanks. Finally at the point where I realise drinking, paradoxically, only makes hard life times harder. Never easier.

Glad to hear a layoff didn’t knock you off the wagon.

That’s exactly what I said—that I’m highly sceptical.

It would basically have to backfire on all their plans and all the trillions of dollars they’re spending.

It would be very surprising. I would be so surprised.

I can say that drinking about it definitely doesn’t help
