Absolutely needed: to get high efficiency for this beast ... as it gets better, we'll become too dependent.

"all of this growth is for a new technology that’s still finding its footing, and in many applications—education, medical advice, legal analysis—might be the wrong tool for the job,,,"

Sounds like most of Lemmy. Honestly sometimes I feel it’s worse than Reddit with the constant bashing on anything except Linux, Firefox, or - for some reason - Steam. Still glad I left Reddit though.

I can hate on Firefox if it'll make you feel better.

Nuclear power seems to be one of those things that are anything but bashed here but instead gets treated with an almost worship-like reverence.

I didn't leave reddit, because I consider useful the subs I use (mostly technical stuff). And yes, you're right about the constant bashing on anything out of the herd mentality.

Take all that shit with a grain of salt. Such things don't matter. Imagine getting riled up over a fucking web-browser. LOL.

or about an operating system, LOL! oh nevermind that it's been uploading all your personal documents and pictures to a questionable cloud storage service without your given informed consent, for years, or that it recently started screenshotting the everydays of millions if not billions of users (among them businesses dealing with your data), to scrape together as much information as they possibly can
