I escaped a teams only company for a slack company a few months ago. Best thing I ever did. Plus I got a payrise.

fuck it, an meme

Spoiler alert: Biden isn’t left wing

Yes, I’m sure failing to defend democracy will result in it being eroded. Of course people can use this to their own personal advantage and claim democracy is at stake when it is not. Voters need to be well informed to discern whether those claims are legitimate, or not.

I don’t think anyone reads “X ban” as sending people to offshore “entertainment” facilities. Lol.

Democracy: good. Destroying democracy: bad. Still too specious for you?

VPNs exist. All blocking of websites is just a slight inconvenience at the end of the day.

Because we have to defend democracy or it will be eroded. We should not stand by idly as misinformation and corporate interests continue to cripple it. Just because people are voting against their best interests does not mean they are no longer their best interests.

Come on man, you know they didn’t mean it literally 💀

there he is. Vinny.

lol tell me you’ve never used linux without telling me you’ve never used linux

I don’t think they would do that unless Lemmy continues to grow to a point where it challenges Reddit. Then it becomes a technical issue. I don’t think they can do that. It was one thing for threads to do it, being designed with that in mind from day 1, but it’s completely different for Reddit to do it. There are so many features that just wouldn’t make the jump, and so much content that would need to be reworked.

If they were going to do it, it would most likely be a clean break where you just can’t access old Reddit content on Lemmy, but all their new stuff would be accessible.

I also just don’t see them giving away their content like that after cracking down on the API how they did.

I feel like the amount of training data required for these AIs serves as a pretty compelling argument as to why AI is clearly nowhere near human intelligence. It shouldn’t take thousands of human lifetimes of data to train an AI if it’s truly near human-level intelligence. In fact, I think it’s an argument for them not being intelligent whatsoever. With that much training data, everything that could be asked of them should be in the training data. And yet they still fail at any task not in their data.

Put simply; a human needs less than 1 lifetime of training data to be more intelligent than AI. If it hasn’t already solved it, I don’t think throwing more training data/compute at the problem will solve this.

Lol. I have no idea how Microsoft convinces these companies that they’re the “secure” option. My workplace has banned any AI except copilot, because Microsoft told them copilot is secure.

Yeah for the record I think it’s a good thing, but wanted to point out how the supply/demand system so often finds ways to keep screwing the consumer when demand reduces.

How many EVs will it take for fuel prices to start decreasing? Or do prices only react to increased demand 🙃

Oh yeah I’m sure you predicted LLMs, and that they would need ridiculous amounts of training data wayyyy back in 2005 when Reddit started lol. Super easy to predict. Good job bud.

They wouldn’t have posted if they knew this was going to happen. They posted because it was fun, not for this.

They may be morally opposed to AI (as there are many valid reasons to be opposed to it), or they may just have wanted to have been able to make an informed decision before posting, but by retroactively training the AI on their posts they’ve robbed them of the agency to make that decision.

That’s why they’re upset.

Why do you think it’s about wanting a slice? They posted on Reddit with no expectation of profit. But they don’t want others to profit off it either. It’s not that complicated.

How is not wanting capitalist companies to profit off of your content not aligned with complaining about the capitalist mindset of the world? Wtf lol.
