yeah that all makes sense

It is an interesting question why explanatory and instruction-type websites all seem similar. In this article we will take a deep dive on how this came to be the case.

thats great, the internet ended as a way to research a topic 3 years ago :(

I imagine a future where children speak of the "before times" and how when there was information on a thing called "paper" and how it wasn't created by slop generators.

Yes, and AI was trained on all of that garbage. It's like they took all the problems we had before and bred them together.

Why your watch runs slow (2025 updated)

while I dislike that youre asking we constrict our collective digital sphincter in order to take less of a massive diarrhea shit on everything that AI is and represents, you've got a point

l linked to the article. I also copied some of the copy as well. I posed a screen shot of the part that I wanted to share, meaning the visual bit that I intended other people to see as part of my post.

I looked at your comments, and not all, but in many of them you just kinda insult people and insinuate that you're smarter than everyone else. If you want to spend your time doing that, thats your prerogative and everything of course, but I'd ask you to ask yourself if anyone is going to take the points you're making when you come off like a prick

its not a headline my guy, its a slop farm website posing as a blog. whats your deal?

GeT oOouUt

Because it unnecessarily increases hosting costs which may put the community in peril?

Everybody says automatic watch. Like literally everyone from common consumers straight down the line to horologists.

This is to differentiate watches you have to wind. It's automatic winding rather than manual winding. It's lingo that has stuck around since watches became a common item. All watches were manual winding at first. Then the automatic winding watches came out. Then the quartz battery. We still have all these types of watches but to differentiate they're called quartz, automatic, manual.

yeah so thats just what they're called. its the parlance for a watch that winds itself. you used to have to wind them every day of course, then these came along and "automatic winding watch", shortened to "automatic" has always been the term industry and marketing have used. sometimes they are called self-winding, but Ive heard "automatic" nearly every time. there's also quartz movement, which uses a battery

Considering you gave the article a high factuality rating, may it be supervised AI output?

well thats the thing, its crap written by an LLM. I read the first paragraph then went and found an article written by a person, but Id say a good percentage of people would read the whole damn thing and take it as fact.

personally ive always objected to the term hallucination for these LLMs fucking up. its not hallucinating, its shitty computer code outputting shitty output

for what its worth, I just needed to manually wind my watch a bunch. I just had it bequeathed to me and didnt know anything about them. keeping time now of course

This is why I hasted my self hosted adventure. I have to selfhost before everything go to crap

and "sobering" is literally the last fucking thing I need to be happening to me in 2025

Unfortunately canning and recipes in general are now concerning and I have to worry about food safety so much more!

No no no no. We are legion. You are not alone. Let them have it. Here, have some popcorn while we watch our ship of Theseus go down in flames. Beautiful isn't it. Now, what would you like to build next? Imagine the possibilities!

Same age, same story, same feeling. But somehow, I think we should cheer each others up.

https://geminiprotocol.net/ (has nothing to do whatsoever, and predates, the Google AI product with the same name)

Gemini is a new internet technology supporting an electronic library of interconnected text documents. That's not a new idea, but it's not old fashioned either. It's timeless, and deserves tools which treat it as a first class concept, not a vestigial corner case. Gemini isn't about innovation or disruption, it's about providing some respite for those who feel the internet has been disrupted enough already. We're not out to change the world or destroy other technologies. We are out to build a lightweight online space where documents are just documents, in the interests of every reader's privacy, attention and bandwidth.

You don’t think they wouldn’t ruin that too if that was by some miracle where all the human capital went?

Their plan is to make your internet useless and your PC unaffordable so you have to subscribe to their AI and ask it everything; so they can know everything about you and get ahead of stories that make them look bad, from time to time maybe even kill people.

You will own nothing, and they will force you to like it.

I've long said we need a return to how search engines worked pre-google. In the mid-90s, sites like Altavista and Yahoo! made site owners add their sites manually, and you had to choose what category to put them in, and they'd be vetted by a human to make sure it was what it said it was.
