I don't like this Altman guy I've bit. He's a punk. I think it was a mistake on Apple's part to partner with him.

Let's hope they can offer alternatives in the near future.

Dude looks deranged in any photo I’ve seen of him. I find him scary tbh. Maybe he is a robot running on OpenAI.

other techbros have praised him, citing the exact list of symptoms google gives for "high-functioning psychopath"

(disclaimer: google may give bad medical advice)

Is it plausible for a Lemmy feature where it can automatically ReaderView post the content of the article i the content so we don't have to deal with WildWest text rendering with every article?

There is a summary bot that is usually the 1 comment on any article posts. Not sure why it did not appear for this.

Yeah, we should be able to summon bots on lemmy posts like we do on reddit. Can we do it? lemme try: @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Touché, yes, I see that in many but not all cases

The voyager app has that feature, I believe.
