There’s a lot to unpack here.
Lets start with the attempt to define “usefulness” as the degree to which connection to humans happens. Human connection on the internet has always been illusory. Yet we still find utility in it.
“Trusted sources” have always been 100% biased in favor of whoever owns them. We all have equal free speech rights, but some of us are more free than others because the ability to purchase a bigger megaphone scales with access to capital.
Organized, capitalized propaganda farms existed before LLMs and have been engaged in the same kind of destructive information warfare. LLMs seem to be more persuasive than the wage-slave humans employed by troll farms and other mass media outlets, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing if it manufactures a more rational public opinion.
LLMs lower the capital requirement to begin competing in the propaganda war. The biggest players who could afford to buy enormous media empires and fund human-generated influence operations are going to have to compete against the rest of us.
This planet has been a soulless hellscape longer than any of us have been alive, and LLMs are more likely to improve the situation than make it worse.
Also, it can get under your fingernails and burn for WEEKS.
they can’t be corrected or are never wrong
This is #1 for me. Its easy to spot, and they won’t be able to hide it because it would drive them nuts to admit fault.
Yeah, that’s the fast & easy way to do it, but you should cut the tops & stems off first, IMO. If the vinegar does not get into the peppers, they can grow fuzzy on the inside.
If you have access to a well ventilated* kitchen, you can make your own hot sauce that can be better than anything store bought. Remove the seeds** and then fry the shit out of the peppers until they start to pop and blacken, caramelizing the sugars. Then pour in a bit of water, just enough to almost cover the peppers, and when the water has evaporated the peppers will be mush. Throw the pepper mush into a blender with just enough salt & vinegar to suit your taste.
Sweet, mild peppers like red jalapenos make a good sauce with very little vinegar. I like to dilute the more intense peppers with extra vinegar until the sauce isn’t overpoweringly hot.
*seriously, don’t try this unless you’ve got a good exhaust fan or can do it outside
**wear gloves
There’s a lot of state sponsored propaganda from right wing, authoritarian countries that pay lip-service to popular communist ideas to keep the dictator in power.
A lot of the noise comes from just a few of the users, so for the moment its easy enough to just block them all.

Just like Lemmy more.
Reddit gave me a temp ban, but I declined their generous offer to return after a week.
I had reported a post by some far-right religious fundamentalist for promoting political violence. Reddit told me that reporting ToS-breaking content is a bannable offense, perhaps because the far-right owners of reddit feel like kindred spirits to the uber-conservative terrorist sympathizer that got reported.
Apparently it was launched as a rideshare payload on a SpaceX rocket. I wonder if the nazis tampered with it?
But why was there a road there?
this sounds like what Google wanted to be since its inception: ask a question, get an answer
somewhere along the journey, the reality of needing to make money drove the enshitification of search results: ask a question, get offers to sell you an answer
this seems like a step in a better direction
Right wing ideologies are a symptom of brain damage.
Q.E.D.
Kerbal Space Program / Factorio / Stellaris crossover
Key elements would include:
-design a factory/macro-economy to produce aerospace components & weapons similar to Factorio
-using those components, design vehicles that obey real-ish physical laws similar to KSP
-arm those vehicles and use them as units in Real Time Strategy with the option to take First Person control of individual units
The capability itself is concerning. This bespoke cable might cost $200, but what would the unit cost be if a state decided to mass produce them?
While blowing, some of the fan’s energy is spent on increasing the pressure inside your dishwasher, which increases the density of the air the fan blades move through, increasing drag on the fan blades causing them to move slower and create less airflow.
While blowing, you’re also pushing moist air to the back of the dishwasher, and after that air reaches 100% relative humidity, it can’t hold any more water and will not help dry your plates. Some of it will eventually escape around the sides, but some of the airflow your fan creates just circulates humid air around the inside of the dishwasher.
Turning your fan around solved both problems. It increased the volume of air flow, and decreased the relative humidity of the air flow.
over charging customers and under paying employees
That’s the crux of the issue.
Who’s going to buy it for a high price, if there is no demand for office space, because workers are all remote?
At that time, the first second of eternity will have passed.
We’ll be back the next time protons happen.
There is no escape.
