Well, you know what Adlai Stevenson said when someone told him he had the vote of every thinking American?

I’m just saying your social experience doesn’t map onto the rest of society. If rich people are dumb, that means poor people can be smart, and that would mean that we do not live in a fair world. So for this to be a just world, rich people have to be smart and if they’re really rich they have to be super geniuses. Keep an eye out for articles about rich people giving their opinion about shit they know nothing about; the undergirding assumption is that we should listen to what they have to say because they must be smart if they’re rich.

This is how we got Elon Musk, who, as far as I can tell, is good at some aspects of business, but really masterful at pretending to be smart before extremely guillible audiences.

I know you don’t watch new media, but Angela Collier has more than one video complaining about rich people who claim they could have been physicists. “What’s stopping you? You have the money. You can take time off and even run your own research lab and hire the best professors in the world to teach you.”

There’s a halo of genius around rich people because they’re rich. Like the guy that invented the pet rock.

Cannonballs are insanely OP. Mythbusters shot a small cannon once; it blew entirely through their backstop and rolled through a few houses before stopping. Your method will result in an overestimate.

I mean, your reference is a youtube video…

The only sure way to be safe these days is to trash your credit rating.

That’s Moby!

If you do it right, you can have your AI scammer burn a lot of tokens; and if you’re lucky enough to get two AI scam callers at the same time, you can connect them with each other and they’ll talk all day.

Yes, I was continuing the list of suggestings from the body text.

lol

Honestly, if AI is going to rate my performance, I’d just as well as have an AI do my interview for me.

One thing I’d at least like to do is have AI correct my eye contact. I absolutely cannot look at the screen while I’m talking.

💩 Delete your X account

I mean, isn’t that the whole point of crypto?

I mean, that might be ok. Busy discords are horrible places to be.

Who has access to the db?

That’s a bummer, man, because what you’d want to do is send the user a DM with a more secure service, but then you’d be exposing your user account and linking it your lemmy id.

The app? The website? Explain.

You either learn what the commands mean and do, or you trust the person who wrote them. There are no shortcuts.

If someone is giving you a long list of commands to run, that’s pretty sus. Usually what I need is done with 2-3 commands.

Be extra cautious about any commands that install software, especially from untrusted sources. There is no good way to vet software.

I found using an app, like Voyager, got me over the hump, but I’m finally comfortable with the desktop web by now.

Other advice: three main categories are suscribed, local, and all. Go to local because first, because it’s kinda fun to run into the same people all the time, and susbscribe to what interests you. Then when you run out out of subscribed threads, look for more groups you can subscribe to in all. And I’m pretty aggressive about blocking groups I will have no interest in.

You can also block declared bot accounts in your settings.

lol i think the inference here is that I point to the group who enjoys their echo chambers as I hunt for my own?

Exactly that!

I think it’s generally more lefty here and perhaps more pessimistic than other places.

The real difference is that there are just FEWER people, so conversations aren’t so liable to get into votebaiting and there is a broader range of discussion. You can still get downvoted, but your comment won’t disappear under a hundred of other comments within minutes, so you don’t have to be so performative.

Anyway, here’s a pretty typical conversation: https://sh.itjust.works/post/65630392
