Something about MIT licensed Grindr client tickles me lol. Great job!

I assume Google (on Grindr’s instructions) will take it down eventually, but I guess you’re prepared for that by trying to put it on F-Droid

We have too many of those already…

In the context of film, yes. Two decades is a very long time ago. 22 years is a lot for a film, not so much for a building. Funny how things can be seen differently in different contexts.

Edit: It’s all about perspective. But people don’t like to be reminded they get older, I guess. https://lemmy.world/post/52285117

I understand not everyone has seen Mean Girls, but it’s kind of funny that the film itself is ancient (22 years old I believe without looking it up)

Edit: Just checked. Yep, it came out in 2004.

Slop is not a new word at all. Spam is a name for then new concept. Also both happened much more naturally (hey, or organically) Enshittification is one word that was pushed by one person and people fell in love with it for some reason.

Look, invent new words. That’s how languages work. Especially languages like English. But then don’t complain that it’s too many words or there are no words to say “AI free”, because newly invented neologisms will always require more words in real conversations.

I mentioned the real problem (as perceived by me) below. I didn’t say we shouldn’t add new words to our languages at all. Admittedly, zuzai specifically also just happens to sound terrible and silly.

Huh, I haven’t encountered it yet. The word makes me think of carnality, so yeah… I’m not gonna use it any time soon. Thanks, I’ll know what people are talking about in the future. 🙂

I think that’s a little bit different though, that’s vegans having a name for another group they’re opposing. I find it similarly silly as zuzai though 😃

I don’t know and we will never know. But the word is just appropriated. They didn’t invent a new word. They could have just as well used the word natural for the marketing. Both words are similarly meaningless.

But to be real for a moment, I think a neologism that just means “no AI” is giving more power to the “AI industry”.

The website gives an example, the word vegan. It’s as if someone who eats meat felt like it takes too many words to say “meat eaters” and made up a new word for it in opposition to veganism. If anything, they would be solidifying veganism.

Note: yes, people say carnivore when talking about meat eaters. But that wasn’t invented solely for this use and also it’s not precise.

It takes too many words to say that. /sarcasm

“An author doesn’t use LLM” does take too many words. It’s much faster to tell someone they use a “zuzai writing process” and then proceed to explain to them what that word means in the first place.

Later on they got advanced technology that could be considered society shaping though

yeah, every time I see gemini (the protocol) posts online I need to check whether it’s actually about the protocol or about the Google thing (and so just ignore it) 😞
