So then you buy the unlocked version, just like the person said. This applies more to people leasing it who are locked in, like they said. Do you not have any reading comprehension?

Look around at the other comments like I said?

That’s MY point. It’s called reading comprehension.

And look at all the other dates others are giving me. They’re not the same as yours. THATS my point. No one actually agrees on the dates and at this point, it’s expanded to include other generations.

Yet I have 10 different people spouting different dates and all telling me I’m wrong. None of you see that you’re the exact point I was making. Everyone tries to shove in some extra years before or after.

Thank you, someone who gets it. The definition has expanded so much it’s essentially meaningless now.

When I grew up and the term was first coined, it refered to the generation coming after mine. It was literally “what will we call this next generation? Well, they’re growing up during the turn of the millennium…”. Then suddenly years later it included my generation. Then suddenly it includes the generation before me? When really it’s just a lazy replacement for “kids these days”.

You’re further proving my point. A person born in 1981 would be 18 years old in 1999. They will have had NONE of their childhood during the Millennium(unless you’re counting the very end of it)

Because every other “generation” is about 10 years and yet somehow “Millennials” are an almost 25 year gap. Notice how it’s “Older Millennial, younger millennial, etc”. You don’t use those qualifiers with the other generations because they are appropriately sized.

Millennials should be 2-3 named generations. It currently refers to 80’s kids, 90s kids, any kids alive when 2000 happened, and early Aughts kids(probably because the last name sucked and no one wanted to use it). Too many generations wanted the claim of “I was the first generation of the new millennium” and everyone co-opted the term even when it didn’t traditionally apply(newborns because they were closest to the date as opposed to when their major development occured is part of that stretch)

Bro, this is just a load of shit. Google removed them by choice, not because of some tech need. Better search engines still use them to great effect.

You just posted a very long rambling justification for injecting ads and other shit into the results instead of giving you what you asked for.

It’s like weapons testing. You only move to ban testing after you’ve developed it yourself.

Troll

Doubting it just to be contratian or doubting it because you can point out a flaw in something I said?

There’s a difference. If you’re just gonna troll, then you’re the exact cause of the loss of discourse. It’s up to you.

You should doubt everything you hear. Pull it apart and see if the pieces themselves make any sense. Examine the logic and look for flaws in it that make the conclusion invalid. Ask questions.

You SHOULD doubt me, absolutely. Hold everything up to the light. A very important question to ask is “why am I being told this? Who’s interests is served by telling me this?” Examine every piece.

For example, in the article, notice how everything is “seemingly” “implied” or “appears to”. Those aren’t definitive words. Those are gossip words. No concrete claim is actually made. Just the appearance of one. The sources are just other random Twitter comments speculating.

“It’s probably not true, but you know, it COULD be true”.

That’s exactly how they get you. Then the next time you see a story like this, all you think is “yeah, haven’t I heard something like this before?” and confirm the new BS you’re being fed.

This instance isn’t true. This is someone manipulating you. Like, the manipulation you’re afraid of? It’s right here.

And now you have to wonder, who gains from making you believe this one is real? I’ll leave that one up to you. But in the words of George Carlin: “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it”.

Sorry you’re being downvotted by the misinformed. It’s not even in the format for ChatGPT, especially the part about being out of tokens. It’s been pointed out already that that is psuedo-code, not actual code. It’s meant to look like something ChatGPT would say.

It’s a troll/ragebait account.

This isn’t news. At all. This is basically reporting on “the hacker known as 4Chan”.

Honestly, I feel like being a Luddite and everytime someone shows art from now on, critique the ever loving hell out of their process.

“Did you make the brushes yourself from sheep you raised? Did you grind the pigments from plants you grew yourself?”

Art is amazing, but artists are some of the most delicate people. Their entire career is, in a way, a showcase of themselves, and if you take any part of that away from them or judge it, they become incredibly hostile and take it deeply personally. But literally the same kind of criticisms they’re making now are taught in art history about previous advancements. It’s just the same fragile egos afraid that they’re not as special anymore.

Exactly. This is just an ad disguised as outrage bait.

If you don’t know the answer is bad, which confident idiots spouting off on reddit and being upvoted into infinity has proven is common, then you won’t refine your search. You’ll just accept the bad answer and move on.

Your logic doesn’t follow. If someone doesn’t know the answer and are searching for it, they likely won’t be able to tell if the answer is correct. We literally already have that problem with misinformation. And what sounds more confident than an AI?

All these people “rediscovering” old tech like we didn’t abandon it for a reason. No, I don’t want to build a PC out of old Commodore 64s that barely works and needs to be coded in assembly when I can literally get a mini PC that’s 100x more powerful for $120.

“Hey bro! Here’s some 20 year old program! We should totally reinvent it today! It’s not like anyone has been working on this exact thing for the last 20 years!”. Wtf is with the younger generations obsession with “retro tech”?!? “Look bro, I can do the same thing we can do now, but slower and worse!”

Also Matrix. If you’re gonna suggest something, maybe make sure it doesn’t already exist.
