I’m not on beehaw but love you too and love beehaw aswell!

Let’s hope for another twitter migration wave to mastodon / other fediverse platforms!

There are programs for that! Even an app AFAIK, but sadly I don’t remember the good ones right now. Maybe someone could pitch in and suggest?

The level of fear is tied to the version of joker that they post. If it’s the comic version, we’re all screwed.

Seems like it worked for me. Last I checked my deleted account’s comments are still up and display replaced text.

I overwrote my comments with a message that clearly states why I overwrote my comments and deleted my account.

Uh oh! Hmm… well Bing chat does have three settings for “answer accuracy”: creative, balanced and strict. Don’t know if ChatGPT has something similar? I usually leave it on balanced or strict and haven’t noticed anything weird, but I haven’t really tested its limits either. Give it a go!

I usually double check, especially with critical cases. With online searches the most useful part of bing chat has been the references which it adds to the answer which I usually go check out (but the summary is still nice from bing). It’s quite clear when it doesn’t know the answer, but often the references still help pointing me towards resources!

Overall it is not doing my job for me, but it speeds up the process significantly. Definitely made me feel like my job is still secure because the questions need to be very specific and still require double checking.

Edit: I’ve been so curious about ChatGPT. Do you notice a significant difference between Bing and ChatGPT itself? I did notice bing does sometimes atleast admit that it does not know. I heard ChatGPT just boldy gives an answer even if it doesn’t know it.

Of course, no problem! The best example of its usefulness is that I can open a PDF in edge and ask bing to use the PDF to answer my questions. I often get documentation PDF’s that are 2000 - 5000 pages long and searching requires me to still read separate chapters to put the info I need together.

Another example: I work in industrial automation, searching for information by googling is a pain and very rarely gives me good results unless I really put a lot of time going through forum threads and manufacturer’s links that most of the time just ask you to contact support. Bing chat has been a life saver by finding answers from these forums and sometimes manufacturer’s pages which are several layers deep on their webpage and don’t always show up in google search.

Yup. Wanted to add that I’m glad there is modlog on on these platforms and that they are visible to everyone. Love the transparency.

I believe the developers on Kbin and Lemmy have moderation tools in their backlog. I think it will be interesting to see how they implement those and how it will work in the fediverse.

Like many others:

• Work on my free time tech projects out of passion
• learn new languages
• play videogames and consume a lot of movies and series’
• Travel my heart out, and not only via planes. If I actually had a lot of free time without the need to check in somewhere, I would just fill a backpack with all the necessary stuff and travel to my destinations via trains, hiking, renting a car, etc. since time would not be an issue
• Just be… while sitting somewhere outside, might move sometimes to another spot
• Actually meet new people. I don’t because I feel like I barely have time for my current friends. That is so god damn sad that I alienated some of my friends due to work and keeping up with closer friends. Fuck work.

Edit: sorry for the rant on the last point. I know not every job is like that and I’m in the process of switching my field.

I’ve actually used bing a lot (never thought I’d say that) because I didn’t want to give away my phone number with ChatGPT registration (I know I know, bing/microsoft have more than enough of my info and data). Bing has been really useful so far for work.

Exactly, the thread would go on and on and someone would come in with calculations as to why you should instead have 15 litre bags if you have two bags.

In all seriousness I believe at some point it will be quite similar here :) give it time, the enthusiasts will figure out how to join and voice their opinion!

Be careful, it’s addictive. It starts with a simple “This is my first post” and soon enough you notice you are posting a 20k word essay on [email protected] why you think 40 litre bag is the most optimal on a 5 day trip.

You are right, already quite happy about the fediverse, can’t wait to see where this goes!

Good point. I keep forgetting that not everyone just moved here during the protests.

Wait. Why are the memes about the blackout better on* twitter* than here?! Or have I just not found the good communities for those kind of memes?

So true… Doesn’t help that there are not many alternatives to products always. Sometimes there are though, and those give me hope.
