Åååååååh, så det er det “LLM” står for haha. Jeg læser det altid som MLM 😅 det er jo noget lidt andet. Men ja. Det er nok LLM’er jeg henviser til når jeg nævner AI assistenter og søgemaskiner.

Jeg vil prøve at se lidt på Qwant og se hvad det kan. Og nej jeg har heller ikke hørt noget om at Ecosia ville gå den vej (ville nok også gå imod deres koncept), så det var derfor jeg skiftede til dem. Jeg var mere bekymret for om andre tech baserede services ville begynde at gøre det sådan så det bliver uundgåeligt alligevel. Kunne godt tyde på det, men til den tid vil det måske ikke være helt så markant et problem som det er nu ud fra et miljøvenlig synspunkt.

Og tak for info!

Ifølge artiklen lyder det til at gutten spår om en fremtid hvor AI er inkorporeret i alle computere. Ud fra hvad min tech-tard hjerne kunne forstå, så vil det koste mindre energi på den lange bane når det ikke skal lagres i skyen, hvilket giver mening. Han mener også at det vil sikre mere privatliv til folk, hvilket jeg tænker er en smånaiv tanke, men hvad ved jeg.

Jeg tror, som han også nævner, at AI er kommet for at blive, men tror også at du har ret i at den nuværende boble er tæt på at briste.

Jeg ved ikke nok om hvordan fremtidige AI computere vil fungere, om de vil skade miljøet mindre (lyder umiddelbart helt plausibelt) eller om de til den tid vil kunne klare opgaver godt uden at lave en helvedes masse hallucinationer. Den utopiske drøm om miljøvenlig AI, der fungerer lokalt i en optimeret computer, som ikke konstant laver fejl og sender misinformation ud er da en dejlig en at have. Jeg er bare lidt for pessimistisk til at tro på at vi kan få alle disse ting samtidig.

Især illusionen om privatliv har jeg meget svært ved at købe når AI er blevet udviklet og skubbet i gang af alle de firmaer der lever af at stjæle vores data. Men igen, jeg forstår mig meget lidt på tech så jeg kryber gerne til korset og erkender st jeg tager fejl hvis det der tilfældet.

I sidste ende er det vigtigste for mig at udviklingen går i en retning, hvor brugen af AI ikke smadrer miljøet hver gang Elias i 8. har lyst til at lave memes og fake film trailere til vennerne.

At AI potentielt også kan gøre en masse positivt for læge og hospitalsverdenen mm er også en del af den utopiske drøm som jeg gerne vil tro på, men jeg er personligt meget skeptisk og vil faktisk mene at det ville være uansvarligt og farligt at bruge AI i sundhedssektoren i den nærmeste fremtid.

Og ja jeg tror heller ikke at folk ønsker at investere i AI computer ligenu, men det går nok ikke meget mere end et årti og så er det blevet normen. Og til den tid HÅBER jeg bare at det er mindre skadeligt for miljøet og at disse AI assistenter er mere pålidelige end de er i dag.

Kan da bare håbe at boblen brister snart så der kan komme lidt pause på det her vanvid indtil der er et bedre produkt for den almindelige borger at investere i. Dx

Tak! 🤗

Yeah. People like to be victims. It gives you a out of jail free card to not work on yourself if the world is against you. Doesn’t matter how true or false that is. If you want to find an excuse to not try and to victimize yourself at the same time, there is no limit.

There is sort of a sad poetic irony to the guys who value money and looks over anything substantial because they will spend all their time and energy on appearing rich and alpha and then they will bitch and moan when they can’t find a girl who loves them for them.

And saddest of all: they literally can’t see that all the things they hate women for are their very own values in life, projected onto the opposite sex.

Yeah, if it gets to the point where the hair starts thinning that intensely, it’s better to just shave it off and bald is pretty awesome too! Don’t get me wrong. I was more so speaking from the vantage point of me and several of my female friends when we were teenagers and early 20s women. I’m neck deep into my 30s atm and at this point, looks matters very little. My boyfriend has very short hair and hasn’t worn band shirts for almost two decades but he’s still a total snack to me.

Where are you from? :D I’m Danish and here, being a long haired guy with band t-shirts mostly translates to “dude probably works in tech and is a massive nerd”

People should do what they are comfortable with, but yes, if a guy wants to attract women, this is definitely a way to get what he wants.

I was part of the alternative scene and I also thought the goth-boy aesthetic was very attractive. All the girls did. To me, the most attractive thing a man could do to his appearance was to let his hair grow long. Like past the shoulders long.

Didn’t have to put on make up and jewelry. Just have long hair and you could be fat or skinny, pretty or ugly. Didn’t fucking matter. I’d look. If Henry Cavill walked down the street next to a nerdy guy with long hair, I would look at the nerd everytime. If he wore band t-shirts and military boots, it was game over. Only way a guy could fuck it up for himself with me was if he started the nice guy routine or was so socially awkward he couldn’t talk to a girl. I have experienced both. The latter was a full date where the guy didn’t say a word to me once and I was the one who had walked 20 km to get to his place because he had social anxiety and couldn’t leave his home. Poor guy. I hope he’s doing better today.

Personally, I prefer to store files etc on external hard drives. It’s a mix of not liking how little control I feel I have over my files when they are being stored by a separate entity (if you can call it that), but also because as I become gradually more aware, I just find it harder and harder to be okay with the idea of having thousands of servers all over the world in datacenters standing there, running full time, nuking the environment, just so I can have my memes and vacation pictures etc accessible at all hours of the day and from any device I use.

I know it’s probably more complicated than that, and I also don’t judge what other people do, as we all pick our battles. I just can’t help but feeling weird about all this cloud-type shit that all the tech-psychos want us to use, become dependent on and charge us for. It just doesn’t feel right to me.

The most love story that ever storied.

I know this is windows, but I remember when I got my work-iPad and became acquainted with the cloud. When it “ran out of storage” and wanted me to pay for extra storage and I was like: why the fuck would I pay you for storing my files on your shady cloud? If anything, I was relieved that the “cloud was full” because that must mean that none of what is currently on my iPad is uploaded anywhere weird and shady. Right? Right? Lol. I’m glad that most of the shit stuck in the cloud are shitty memes I saved in images early, because im a friggin child. Barely anything important has been saved there. I still dunno how it works or why I should want it to save my shit.

It’s the same with how many people told me how I should get an iPhone after I got an iPad because it would make it so easy for me to fileshare and link everything up. How I should also get a Mac so I could file-sharing there and my reaction everytime was: why would I want all my devices linked, bro? That sounds like a potential safety hazard to me, but I’m a tech-retard so I don’t know anything. I just don’t find the idea of everything being linked up and gathered in the cloud to be particularly enticing or cute. I like my devices separate and I don’t mind if it’s a but inconvenient for me to fileshare.

Sometimes I don’t understand people nor why they think conveniences overrules personal safety and privacy. Are you sure you want every single thing you do on one device to be shared and saved on another? Are you SURE you want that? Because I’m not. It’s not even a matter of doing fishy stuff or not, it’s a matter of having control over where your information is stored and accessible and there’s no way in fucking hell I’d want my personal phone to be linked to my WORK iPad. Lol. Nobody needs see the diabetes-inducing shit my boyfriend and I send to one another everyday.

“No I love you moar💗😍”

“No you, cutie-poo❤️❤️❤️”

“No you times infinity😘”

Yes, we are pushing 40. No, we don’t plan on stopping being this gross.

I mean if I was in charge of government, I would probably be willing to take the gamble, but alas, I’m not and Mærsk and Novo Nordisk both use some of their money on “charity” work in Denmark where they set up funds that support the industry or they pay to build stuff like The Black Diamond which was Mærsk’s present to Denmark. Many think it’s super duper gracious of them and through my job, I have also benefitted from the Novo Nordisk fond. But others think that it shouldn’t be like this. They should pay their taxes and let it be up to the government what the money is spent on instead of doing this charity shit where they more or less pay for initiatives that benefits their own interests. In an ideal world, the latter would be how things were, but again, what can you do? If they decided to pull out of Denmark as punishment, those funds would probably disappear too. To me, it’s mafia behavior but I have been called out before for uttering such words about our gracious Mærsk xD especially back in the 2000s where the wider opinion was that we should be grateful and not greedy for them paying anything at all to the state. At least that was the opinion in the area where I lived at the time.

I was also being way too generous toward Mærsk. If I remember correctly, Mærsk pays somewhere around 2% tax. Apparently they paid 3,7% tax in 2022 and were praised for it haha. I don’t remember what Novo Nordisk pays in taxes, but my guess is they pay more than Mærsk but less than the lowest tax percent for poor people here.

In Denmark we have something called top tax where everyone over a certain income level are taxed a little over 50% of their income.

Unless, of course, you are a mega-rich corporation, then you pay 4% tax or less because you have the power to take your business elsewhere if you get offended and your 4% tax or less still contributes a pretty significant amount to our country, so no one dares to put pressure on you to contribute what you owe to society. 🫠

So it isn’t exactly perfect. Those who are rich enough get to do whatever they want even in a system that is otherwise built to support the collective.

It sometimes pisses me off to know how easily most of our issues could be solved if companies like Mærsk and Novo Nordisk paid one or two percent more in taxes. Not even close to what they actually owe, but just one or two percent more. It could be a fucking game changer for our healthcare and educational system.

I feel like the percentages should be higher in Denmark, but I don’t think people think about corporations getting to cheat the system when they are asked this question. They think about the well off civilians among us who already pay over half of their income in taxes and they will probably feel like it would be unfair to have to pay even more. At that point the thought would go to: why the fuck did I even get this degree, took on this responsibility and worked these hours if at the end of the day I have the same money after tax as a school teacher?

I can’t speak for all the other Nordic countries, though I suspect similar constellations there.

This legit made me choke on my laughter. So fucking true.

And then people go “jUsT wRitE iT dOwN”

Well, I do, bish, but I can never remember what notebook or piece of paper I wrote it on nor where I put it. I have found old password notes in the weirdest places, even digitally. In fucking Procreate on my iPad in a a weird folder I never use, quickly scribbled down in a file that I have not looked at for three years. Sometimes in the bottom of a bag that I put in the basement months ago, on a little water damaged poster it note. Other times in the back of a notebook, upside down AND written in invisible ink. No really. And I thought I was sooooo clever at the time too. -_-

So now I have a bullet journal I carry with me everywhere and I wrote down all the pin codes and passwords and whatever the fuck I have that I can remember down on a separate piece of paper that is in pocket in the back of the book so that when this journal is finished, I can put it in the next one. I hope this time it will work out longterm, lol.

Yeah, he is pretty great. A unicorn of a person, if I may be so humble. His students have described him as “too perfect”. I don’t disagree. I used to joke that he was the second coming of christ but instead of saving the world he decided to dedicate his life to saving my chaotic ass. I dont take it for granted.

As unromantic as it sounds, we agreed long ago that marriage wasn’t in the cards for us. So no rings, but we definitely are each other’s Precious ❤️

I remember having a gym teacher in fourth grade who would play Its Raining Men every single gym session. We would do aerobics too. My hatred for that song is directly linked to those weeks or months or however long we had her. We never did anything else but standing in formation doing lame aerobics and listening to that pos song on repeat. If I go to hell when I die, this song will be on the playlist at Hell’s fitness center.

Literally. But I’m doubly fucked in the sense of being a responsible adult because when my boyfriend hears me open the fridge, he will immediately go: Honey, I’ll make you something. I’m 99% sure he is possessed by the ghost of a Mediterranean mom.

He’s taken to making me fucking brunch everyday since he went on summer break. Soft boiled egg, oatmeal porridge with cinnamon sugar and small dollop of butter, a plate of cherries, pineapple, grapes, cucumber and carrots. The occasional pastry for dessert if he SENSES I’d like it. I never have to tell him anything. He just knows.

I don’t deserve him.

For me it was Catherine Zeta Jones in any movie that made me realize i wasn’t completely straight.

Ja, den eneste måde hvorpå jeg kan lytte intensivt på den måde i flere timer er hvis jeg sidder og tegner så hænderne er i gang. Så er det faktisk nemt nok at høre efter, men det der med at sidde stille og lytte eller have gang i alt for mange ting samtidig… glem det.

Tror stadig en af de mest psykotiske reklamekampagner jeg nogensinde har set var dengang Mofibo begyndte at opfordre folk til at lytte til lydbøger mens de trænede i fitnesscenteret. Hver gang jeg så de reklamer var jeg sådan lidt: hvem fanden lytter til lydbøger når de træner?? Det lyder fuldstændig vanvittigt.

Og så har jeg vist også fået trådt alle psykopaterne der lytter til lydbøger mens de træner godt og grundigt over tæerne nu xD

Haha, endnu en Discworld-fan i bunken :D vil det så sige at du er nået til The Hogfather? 😍

Håber du når at blive færdig med Necromancer inden serien kommer ud, så! :D
