Didn't that already happen well before chatGPT? With the rise of "personal branding". Every medium seems to be filled with people churning out empty meaningless content at an impossible rate just to get a few likes/follo

Yes they are. I tried creating prompts for AI art on the first day and it worked pretty well. Then next day it gives me a generic message about how it is a language model and cannot give prompts

The current VR headsets seem more akin to the car phones or those huge brick mobile phones of the 70s/80s rather than smartphones. Lots of people saw its potential. But it was not ready for the masses.

Don't large companies already have access to "legal" training data? They can use the images you uploaded. Most ToS have language to allow them to do that.

From what I have seen this idea of is the problem with a lot of online courses. The courses that sell seem to be made by great sales men and women. But then the actual course itself is bad. A lot of courses/content is created by a sing

I keep hearing you need to write to think, but I just cannot. If an idea is not clear in my head I cannot write. I might be able to brain storm or do a mind map or dump words. But I cannot write. I need to think through the idea in my head.

A lot of that rings true. Other than healthcare. It can be a nightmare finding a good doctor in India. The way most doctors behave can be insulting plus a lot of them are truly incompetent or corrupt. There are no real consequences to any o

Didn't Facebook already die years back? People moved onto Instagram, Whatsapp, Snap and a few other places already. The only reason Facebook was able to pull along was because it bought Insta and Whatsapp so they did not have to compet

Has anyone had a good experience with Microsoft's online products? I tried using Office 365 recently for a small side project after using Google apps for years. Their email has like 5-10 messages come in every day about hotfixes, updat

Does this mean that you can install a stock version of Android and Google can't prevent apps from running because they fail "safetynet" or what ever it is called.

Is it just me or is there a sudden hype around writing? There seems to be a whole bunch of popular courses and content around how you HAVE to write or you need to write to think. Most of these articles seem to boil down to "writing giv

Wait you can "improve" youtube search. It is totally broken for me. A lot of search queries give 90% of the results from 2 or 3 channels. If that is not the case, the results return almost the exact same results as what I got a fe

As someone who quit smoking using ecigs this saddens me. Yes Juul was one of the worst options out there, but it was the flavored tasty ejuices that got me off cigs. I did a pack or two for 10-15 years. Could not stop cold turkey, hands use

Imagine Microsoft saying something like that...you cannot install your app on Windows because <reasons>. Can you imagine the uproar at that. But Apple gets a free pass? For all intents and purposes Apple's iphone is the Windows e

Hmm what makes you think software developers are not abused? Maybe in your world they are not, but it regular to hear about devs working 12-14 hours a day. With bosses and clients harassing them even at off hours.

How do you use Office365 specifically email? I only use it for one of my lesser used domains and it is the worst email/app experience I have had in ages. For some reason the outlook app went blank and had to resync. Missed a really imp

Even duckduckgo does not seem to be able to do local search. Especially outside the US. Only Google seems to be able to to do it for some reason. But in general terms both Google and Duckduckgo seem to be broken and they give almost the sam

One rule I have found really useful. Unfollow/nute any account that has more than 10k followers. Especially if they are social media famous.

As someone out of Asia, the information the previous poster mentioned has near zero relevance to me. Barely any ripples from the events happening with the topics mentioned. But still for some reason my feed is flooded with that news and it

I am not a north American so I just catch glimpses of what is happening in articles that pop up like this. So I am not taking sides here. Just making an observation about protests in general. With that being said, how do you get noticed? I

Stuffing bloatware on Windows, using dark patterns to try and get you to use Edge. Trying to force you to use you online accounts rather than local accounts. The whole doing good was just usual PR.

Weird I feel DDGs search quality has also gone down recently. I find myself jumping between google and DDG and sometimes to Bing when both are broken. It is like search is broken on all the major providers. Not sure if they are copying each

Isn't the whole point of Upwork to safe guard both sides and why people pay them? What is the benefit here. This is as good as directly working with a client. Atleast then you keep all the money without having to pay Upwork a cut. Why

Just making an observation. As someone living in Asia, pre-pandemic our apartment association had to buy 3-6 times the water we normally did, during this time of the year. We had people visiting from outside the country mostly from the US.

Can they be used exactly like gifs? I have seen a few sites with mp4s but Firefox blocks them. I do not think even sites like Dribbble have figured it out. I have a lot of issues there with videos.
