My calendar app seems to have also "gone to the dark side." It says next year will be 2027.
When did "easily making an obviously accurate forecast" start being referred to as "going to the dark side?" I just don't see the connection...
Are the Sith, like, seers of the obvious in some of the expanded lore books?🤔 Maybe in the books the Sith tell people whenever water will continue to be wet, Sarlacc pits will remain dangerous places to practice parkour, and Space will continue to exist?
You can't (in good faith) claim "AI is the future" is "an obviously accurate forecast" when half of Lemmy is actively trying to dismantle that notion.
Why not? Like babies at a space opera, they can cry all they like about things they can't comprehend that they wish would go away.
Except they'll be just as effective as they were at making Bitcoin go away. (Bitcoin still exists, people still use it.)
Also, half is a very conservative estimate. I think hating AI is MUCH more popular on here. It feels like it should be the official Lemmy pastime.
Nobody uses Bitcoin lol, it's a speculative asset now, not a cryptocurrency. You're an idiot if you use it.
Appreciate the ignorant ad hominems. You represent Lemmy very well.
