Unpopular opinion - yes but not exactly

Searching the web is/was always like making a prompt. The difference before the current AI hype was that it was a different kind of algorithm, but still an algorithm tailored to make profit for the company. Or in other words, it was never in the user’s control on what information is received from the web. That is the nature of the web itself until, to some extent, we hopefully reach a dystopian decentralised non profit web. And hey we might even get there because you are reading this on Lemmy.

So to not die, we just need to stop breathing !

To be clear, OP is not questioning the validity either. You are, and that’s a separate discussion.

If I tell you “playing with fire is risky”, and then you bring up an old book to me where is it written “playing with fire is risky”, the discussion is not about whether I told you that from the book. It is not about whether my advice is valid or the book is valid. The discussion is just that people who had read the book should have already known “playing with fire is risky”.

I’m not religious. But your point doesn’t make sense. Being around X number of years doesn’t contradict with the possibility of one idea being a part of the other. I guess that’s what the user is trying to say, but I’m not sure how factual it is.

I think you meant - Me Xbox is spying on my instead.

TLDR: Bot generated random number, happened to be a real person’s phone number

I don’t understand what is “terrifying” about that. Even without the bot, anyone with malicious intent could imagine up a random phone number.

These kind articles with thin content are just used by these news agencies to fit into the “bots are bad” narrative that makes them money. Of course bots are bad in many ways, but not for such flimsy reasons.

Oh sorry I didn’t think of that. I was just using his name in a funny way. Besides my intention were about people like him, but the discussion went about him anyways.

On the face of it, it looks like that. It probably is that.

But if we think about it for a moment. He is a person after all. Brushes teeth, eats, po*p s like everyone else. And it is sometimes when we do these mundane things in our lives, we just think. At least during some of those moments there would be some self reflection. Everyone has something to be guilty about. It’s just that these kind of people have a lot of options in that area. So I’m wondering if they are just in denial. And that is such a sad superpower to have.

True, but still, by getting used to does it mean they don’t bring cringe inducing memories to themselves. I know the feeling when some of mine bottle up once in a while. But I can’t imagine how much they would be for people like him and Orange Bob. It is superhuman level of self tolerance.

Come on man, I’m not gonna talk about my endian publicly

So all this time true was actually false and false was actually true ?

Man, this is sacred. This should be the first line in Intro to Internet.
