How common is it to need to know the absolute inner workings of something in order to do it? in c/adhd@lemmy.world

Ooh! Get an Arduino/electronics starter kit! You'll learn how computers worked in the 80s. Then you'll be able to move on up to say, Python in no time 👍

Eventually, old computers and operating systems will likely be referred to as dumb computers or dumb terminals or similar, because they don't have artificial intelligence. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Haha, that's amazing.

Guess I need to go buy "an inflator" specifically made for phones 🤣

Well... Don't leave us hanging!

Did the instructions work? You'd think it would be harder than inflating a tablet-style phone... Because of the hinge.

Don't go searching for those images! They're fowl.

The message is confusing. Not shown: The person back home permanently chained to a hamster wheel, praying every day to be set free.

True story: There's a minus sign on the other side so you can use them to power things with the Holy Spirit.

Try it! You may be very surprised at how much power that is 👍

Sadly, you will never be able to read Andy Weir's 'The Last Algorithm,' one of multiple non-existent books recommended by the Chicago Sun-Times in major AI snafu in c/news@lemmy.world

To be fair, The Last Algorithm does sound like it could be a gripping tale to an AI.

Dumb Restrictions on Media will always be Dumb Restrictions on Media.

We the people mostly won the DRM wars of the early 2000s. You do not want to legitimize that technology. It only helps big corporations/evil monopolies. It will never be a good thing for humanity as a whole.

~~stolen~~ copied creations

When something is stolen the one who originally held it no longer has it anymore. In other words, stealing covers physical things.

Copying is what you're talking about and this isn't some pointless pedantic distinction. It's an actual, real distinction that matters from both a legal/policy standpoint and an ethical one.

Stop calling copying stealing! This battle was won by every day people (Internet geeks) against Hollywood and the music industry in the early 2000s. Don't take it away from us. Let's not go back to the, "you wouldn't download a car" world.

I dunno. It's better than their old, non-AI slop 🤷

Before, I didn't really understand what they were trying to communicate. Now—thanks to AI—I know they weren't really trying to communicate anything at all. They were just checking off a box 👍
