Same here, then it pops up a prompt to install the website’s ‘app’ 🙄

I’ve been doing this for several years. I kept the original not-very-fine strainer on my Bodum press, because anything finer would be too hard or slow to press even after several extra minutes’ wait for settling. So instead, I just transfer the coffee to a carafe after pressing, and post-filter the stuff with a paper filter.

It’s not ideal, but it turns out to be the best coffee I can make in multi-cup quantities with no more expensive apparatus than just the French press. It tastes far better than any routine with coarser grounds. It seems more efficient in grounds (and time spent) than pour-over. And although my aeropress can exceed this quality when loaded with fine grounds, it can’t make several cups at once.

I get that same autocorrect! “shears” when I was trying to write “always”!

I could go with that.

Still having a hard time with the idea that a thing could be even “some level of intelligent” without being sentient. But we don’t need to continue from there, there’s any number of people ready to pile on at that point and say that it’s “all semantics anyway” or start deconstructing sentience.

Sure, we could say that the popular usage of the term AI no longer actually stands for “artificial intelligence”. Or we could say that the term “artificial intelligence” is no longer understood to refer to something that can do a large part of what actual intelligence can do.

But then we would need a new word for actual, real intelligence and that seems like a lot of wasted effort. We could just have the words mean what they’ve always meant. There is a lot of good in spreading public awareness of the vast gap between machines that seem as if they understand a language (when actually they just deeply model its patterns) and imaginary machines that are equipped to actually think.

Some newer Lemmy users thru some third-party reader apps may need to click HD to get enough pixels to make the image readable before zooming.

I’m here via Boost, for example, and unless I were to set it to always pre-request HD images (and thereby consume far more bandwidth, unwanted) I have to manually click HD.

I mean… it’s not artificial intelligence no matter how many people continue the trend of inaccurately calling it that. It’s a large language model. It has the ability to write things that look disturbingly close, even sometimes indistinguishable, to actual human writing. There’s no good reason to mistake that for actual intelligence or rationality.
