Sam Altman wants to raise babies using AI.

Never forget.

Yeah. People have been surprised many times when my patience finally runs out. :) Sounds like the same for you.

I feel the same, but I just have a nas for my movies so I can enjoy them forever. Most of the current new movies are full of bullshit so I also mostly watch older movies where humanity still exists. You have to start gathering movies like this on physical media or they just will be gone whenever the streaming service wants them to.

I run Linux so I dont need to update my computer.

I dont have Facebook or Instagram.

I use Freetube app on my computer instead of YouTube so I dont have to see shorts, or ads for that matter.

I use Newpipe on my phone for the same reason.

So you can do some things to stay away from bullshit.

Yeah people think its confidence to act like shit in public.

Yeah. I used to go to the cinema often as a kid but people were quiet so there was never any problems enjoying the movie.

And it was before mobile phones.

Not going to cinema means saving lots of emotional pain created by the actual cinema experience:

  • Ads

  • More Ads

  • Trailers

  • 20 minutes of that shit (despite paying for the movie!), movie finally starts. Now this happens:

  • People talking during movies

  • People watching phone during movie

  • People eating candy (loudly) during movie

On top of this, what are the odds the movie will be good? I think ive been disappointed by almost every movie this year, so thank god i didnt watch them in a cinema.

They have an instance that doesnt federate with Lemmy.world i think. It works well for them. On my instance I see them sometimes since we federate with everyone.

Probably bots.

 

Here we go.... It took them some time but ads is going to be inside chat gpt as well. And impossible to block.

 

Sorry to link to YouTube for this, but it's just such a great example of actual humor from the decades where it was allowed to joke about it.
