  • We have a few internal to the company so proprietary data doesn’t leak into the public. Not one of them can be relied on. I vet it by asking questions about certain procedures I know inside and out (I wrote most of them), and the LLMs can get close but are consistently inaccurate.

    Not a programmer, so no experience with a large use case there.

    The most useful thing I’ve used it for us breaking thru writers block on dumb things. Just staring at a blank page and unable to get started. So I brain dump into LLM, it gives me a few crappy sentences, I think “I can do better than that”, and I write something from scratch.



  • My parents will give advice if I ask for it. It’s been that way since I was about 14 or 15. If they tried to treat me like you are describing, especially in public, I would shut it down.

    The only time I can imagine them giving unsolicited advice would be if I were in a romantic relationship they thought was bad. I don’t agree with a lot of their perspectives on relationships, but I would at least hear them out. They would have the good sense to do it in private though and would be able to explain their thoughts, no “I don’t have to justify myself to you” nonsense.

    I would say they were a little too uninvolved at times, but I would take that over the scenario you are describing with them over involved at 30+.





  • Not that many, just obvious bots/scams. The app I use has user tagging so I can assign a color tag and text tag per user. Red = for me, do not engage and yellow = for me, engage with caution.

    I tend not to block real humans, even the trolls, because often times the responses are interesting to me. I’ve learned some real facts about my trans peeps here on Lemmy because some people took the time to give informative responses to the community’s benefit, despite the question being an obvious troll attempt.

    Some of my tags include yellow for “AI slop spreader” and red for “TERFy troll”.




  • Pay attention to an individual’s definition of “win” condition.

    I define a “win” for FOSS on a very small, individual scale. I do not define it as widescale adoption by others. If I successfully replace a proprietary service with a FOSS service for my personal usage, that’s a win. The only “lost cause” re FOSS to me is a FOSS service shutting or being so complicated to implement and maintain that I have to revert to the google service or whatever.

    Similar on veganism, a win is me personally making a step improvement on diet, not contingent on shuttering commercial meat production.
