One of the most tragic scenes in Dune is when Paul Atreides realizes that Stilgar is no longer his friend but another one of his fanatical followers. Follower counts on social media really means nothing.

But maybe there is someone out there who refuses to participate in a broken system of a fantasy world, and instead decided to leave for a part of the Fediverse where their follower count is, and will forever remain, zero.

Like what Stereotypical Barbie did at the end of the movie.

Umm…

Ew.

I will have you know my entire online persona on Lemmy is basically a 24/7 “Barbie” movie advertisement, thank you very much.

I use Arch BTW.

Nice try, Academy Award winning director Quentin Tarantino, but I’m not falling for that one again.

All standardized test is how well you prepared for that particular standardized test, doesn’t matter if it is the SAT, MCAT, or Leetcode. You aren’t suppose to think on the spot for these tests, you are suppose regurgitate everything you have rehearsed for weeks and months during the test.

And unthinking regurgitation is what LLMs do better than anything else.

Organic advertisements that look similar to user posts on reddit? How could they do such a thing?

Anyway, fellow lemmings, for no apparent reason, Today I Learned that Academy Award and Golden Globe nominated movie, “Barbie”, is now available on Blu-ray and select streaming services.

Yeah, you’re right, I’m going to try posting something at a daily cadence to build up content in the communities I made, and hopefully more people will join in.

The only way Lemmy can maintain its momentum is by generating original content.
