I'm still waiting for the day my "buffer account" is large enough that I don't need to stress about finances. Now, it would last me about 2.5 years and that's apparently still not enough.

Money sitting in accounts making interest does not contribute to GDP.

What I have sitting in my bank account that I'm getting interest payments for is not money but stocks. I've spent that money to buy those stocks. That money has been back in the circulation this whole time.

This does not even begin to answer my question.

What does "abolish landlords" look like in practise? What is that slogan suggesting exactly?

What is a “real account” anyway? I’ve been here for over two years, and this is probably my eighth account. Whenever I hit around 1000 comments, I make a new one - so I’ll be ditching this one soon, too. Which of those would even count as my “real” account?

Lemmy is such a small platform that if I’d stuck with my first account, tons of people would recognize me by now. I don’t want internet fame, and I’d rather make it as hard as possible for any potential stalker to follow me around. Not tying your entire post history to a single username just seems like the smart move - and honestly, it surprises me how often a privacy-minded platform like Lemmy feels hostile toward people who do this.

I'd say that 4chan is among the main reasons for many of my "weird" kinks and femboys absolutely are among those. Seems to align with my assumed political leanings too.

Depends what he means by that. Are some right-wingers fetishizing femboys? Yeah. Can we generalize this to apply to all right-wingers as people have tendency to do with this sort of things? No. Turns out that people are individuals and they have different preferences. Shocker.

The term artificial intelligence is broader than many people realize. It doesn’t mean human-level consciousness or sci-fi-style general intelligence - that’s a specific subset called AGI (Artificial General Intelligence). In reality, AI refers to any system designed to perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. That includes everything from playing chess to recognizing patterns, translating languages, or generating text.

Large language models fall well within this definition. They're narrow AIs - highly specialized, not general - but still part of the broader AI category. When people say "this isn't real AI," they’re often working from a fictional or futuristic idea of what AI should be, rather than how the term has actually been used in computer science for decades.

I find it much easier to imagine an AI VC than an AI plumber.

AI and LLM are not synonymous terms.

I'm talking about my highly curated feed. Otherwise it would be an avalanche of US politics and bad news.
