Arguably, if you’re producing your own content then you’re consuming it too. It takes a lot of watch and/or listen multiple times to produce a final product which means you’re more than consuming it.
It’s not even viable. In canon, Jar Jar was relegated to being a shunned street performer on Theed where adults hated him but the children would laugh at his clown antics. A Sith lord wouldn’t become that, ever.
Although Lemmy's userbase is quite large,it still is small enough that I do often see the same people in comment sections. It feels though, that I should recognise more names, because I can only remember around 5 individual ones.

Tell me you don’t know shit about SEO without telling me you don’t know shit about SEO.
Just because there are people who do bad things doesn’t mean the industry is bad or have bad intentions. SEO isn’t ads. Advertorials can be a tactic of SEO, but it’s not SEO as a whole. Same with clickbait because it works, and I guarantee you also fall for it constantly.
SEO is about understanding what someone needs and creating an experience to ensure that someone finds the answer to what they need through content and/or a product to solve their needs.
This can be achieved through copywriting, researching search trends and queries, technical analysis of websites and how they render, providing guidance on helpful assets (photos, pdfs, videos, form, copy, etc), PR outreach because links are how people move around online or discover things, social planning because social media are a form of search engines, and more.
And finally, SEOs are not responsible for how Google treats shit. That’s Google who is responsible. Google is the one that tweaks the algorithm and doesn’t catch spammy shit. In fact many SEOs catch it and report it to Google’s reps, but they are the ones who can ensure the right team(s) fix the issue.
So what you’re saying is you just don’t give a fuck about other people? That’s what political correctness is trying to do is show some empathy from those that historically haven’t gotten much.
To your point, it does go overboard many times when it probably doesn’t need to. For example, LatinX vs Latino and/or Latina.
I understood your point. It is covered in my “go overboard” part. I agree that people not supporting something doesn’t mean that you’re always something-phobic.
A phobia is an extreme or irrational fear and just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean it’s always irrational. Perhaps misguided or misjudged, sure but not always irrational.
Going to Australia in a week, get immersed in their culture for two weeks, and getting to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef during my time there! All with my wife and 10 yo son. It’s going to be so great!
I comment a lot on stories having to do with state governments and legislation or regions of the country.

They’ve probably got enough machine learning to take keywords and figure out intent. That’s essentially what Google does with autocomplete. They (Google) use n-grams. So I expect OpenAI already has this all figured out.

What worries me is AI getting things wrong and perpetuating lies that are also made up via AI (maybe even the same AI). Also, how will their algorithm work? Do they fact check things they display? I hate Google, but at least they do have somewhat of a push to ensure authority and trust via their algos.
Well, they could potentially pull from various sources to make a cohesive answer. Right now Google’s SGE (search generative experience, their AI in organic search) pulls one source to answer and then offers some other links that also answer the same question.
I completely agree with you though. Shit is getting worse for no reason other than $$$$$$$
It bugs me when people say "the thing is is that" (if you listen for it, you'll start hearing it... or maybe that's something that people only do in my area.) ("What the thing is is that..." is fine. But "the thing is is that..." bugs me.)...
I’m not certain if this is what you were getting at, but these are mine:
An historical - It doesn’t follow the general way of using a or an with consonants and vowels. Nor does it change the meaning if I said a historical (event) instead an historical (event).
Fewer and less. I understand that there is a rule, but the rule is fucking dumb. If I say there are less people or if I say there are fewer people - the end result is the same that there isn’t as much as there was before.
Language is fluid. As long as we understand the meaning of what is being said then who cares?
I understood what you were saying! I am fewer irritated. I would personally use less, because it sounds better in this instance, but totally agree. Not sure how I’d put a number to my irritation though. I am not a robot, so my irritation isn’t exactly a quantifiable scale.
Yeah, and? Are you discounting how powerful emotions can be versus logic? There’s an entire industry (psychology) around this and they still haven’t solved it.
