Wow, that’s quite something! You may have possibly noticed other benefits though? Maybe being less short of breath, your back is less sore, maybe a lower blood pressure or cholesterol at a medical? There’s many things you can notice other than your appearance in a mirror.

40lbs is a great achievement and I hope you didn’t find it to be an absolutely pointless exercise.

The first day you lift is the day you realise that you’ll never be able to lift enough!

It’ll take a month for you to notice an improvement, about three months for other people to notice.

Remember, it’s not the exercise that’s hard, the hard bit is sticking with your routine.

Come on, join the “everyone that disagrees with us is a Nazi movement!” /s

I quite literally said “not Nazi”, but I guess that in pigeon chess, you make up the rules of engagement.

You can say I’m acting in bad faith, that’s your opinion that you are entitled to, I’m telling you I’m not.

The reality of the situation is that you simply disagree with my opinion but you’ve chosen to attack me rather than the substance of what I’m saying. It’s called an ad hominem.

Godwin’s law.

Congratulations on having the debating skills and etiquette of a child.

Elon Musk is the rage bait.

It is on Lemmy!

Seeing as they were founded to fight anti-Semitism, I’d expect them to know a Nazi salute when they see one.

That’s confirmation bias

AI is in it’s “biplane” stage, just as people in the twenties would have found it hard to comprehend the future of commercialised flight or a man on the moon, people struggle to imagine the future of AI.

AI is the very worse it’s going to be today, in the grand scheme of things, it’s only going to get better.

Hard disagree.

The dot-com burst would be worst case scenario and I think that’s a long chance.

I understand that some people hate AI or that they feel threatened by it, but I can only imagine that those who say it has no real value are either being facetious or have extremely limited cognitive capacity.

It’ll be no worse than the dot-com burst.

Computer hardware isn’t like a cars engine, it doesn’t get knackered after a 100,000 miles.

If the hardware has been working for the last ten years, there’s every chance it will go another ten years. Hardware is at much more risk of becoming outdated/obsolete than it is of becoming faulty/broken.

I believe it is likely that there will be a burst at some point, just as with the dot-com burst.

But I think many people wrongly think that it will be the end of or a major setback for AI.

I see no reason why in twenty years AI won’t be as prevalent as “dot-com’s” are now.

It’s a related opinion

Fair enough. I definitely do that too, sometimes you can also link the post of when the question was last asked.

Typing a query in to Google is faster than making a post on Reddit and yet people still wanted you to do it for them. I never posted “have you tried Google?”, or anything like that, but lmgtfy links were always a fun option.

I hate posts where the answer is the top search result on Google. We’re not here as a proxy for a search engine.

Some subreddits had a “use Google first” rule.
