i have the previous revC and it is the best investment in a long time, so much comfort, so much versatility, so much speed, it's an amazing gadget, i'll definitely get a revD as well, you should too...

@nprofile1q... i dunno, the client is king as they say, so it really doesn't matter if there is a human (in the loop) or just an llm, what i need is coping strategies with this situation. where the educational aspect of my work is kinda lost, with humans, i'm always happy to show them how to avoid, how to use tools in the future, but with an llm, there is no such level-upping the client.

can anyone advise good methods to cope with the nagging feeling that the customer i'm chatting with is really just the output of an #llm. i'm most triggered by "you are absolutely correct" and my "excellent observations" and similar sycophantic compliments. i never thought i'd miss the denial and passive anger of traditional vendor responses...

@nprofile1q... i do this, because i noticed that every time i use the self-scan cassa i'm flagged for a check by a clerk, which messes up the order of things in my bag (so squishy stuff doesn't get squished) and in total takes more time than using the traditional human-manned cassa. so there is absolutely no benefit for me using the self-scan cassa.

happy customer endorsement. a few months ago i bought an air quality monitor from https://nettigo.pl (better wifi reception, resistant to humidity changes) but it stopped working a few days ago, i mailed Witold - and he responded immediately at 21:00 or so in the evening - past office hours - within a few mails back & forth he helped me diagnose the problem & even provides a beta fw version in which the problem should not be happening anymore. if you need to buy some stuff, think nettigo

@nprofile1q... i don't expect 100% conversion rate, far from it - i've seen the inability of people switching after snowden... also network-effects, platform lockin and marketing are counter forces, but this is something that can nudge a few percent in a less centralized/controlled direction, and every time a few percent switch, that is good.

i'm wondering about this #chatcontrol thing, even if it has been adopted, only the #cyberproletariat loses, the ones who are already fucked from so many directions, the #cyberbourgeoisie has their own signal-cli clients, molly, xmpp servers, etc. the criminals have their own non-oligarch-controlled hubs. so maybe this is not so bad, if it pushes also the proletariat to use use less centralized (and thus controllable) services... why am i wrong?

you are right! Only such gangsterment abuse shall maximise decentralisation and private communication.
