  • Mostly niche interest ones. Especially when there’s multiple communities for that interest. It’s hard to point a finger at one but I think the last one I looked at was dubstep. I check the sidebar, only one mod. I check their user page, they’re only moderating one comm. The odds of them being a terminally online psycho are greatly reduced than if they’re moderating 10+ comms.

    Not that comms with multiple mods are at all bad, or moderators operating a cluster of comms. It’s just not the same instant green flag as when there’s only 1-3. This is kind of why I like the current size fediverse is at. Like, I know people want it to grow but there’s something kind of nice about small communities




  • Yeah I guess that’s my biggest hangup too, the training process I mean. It’s hard to examine the datasets and be certain this wasn’t stolen from somebody who won’t be getting paid or if it’s being operated from a facility that’s actively siphoning water from a drought affected community.

    But I want artists to have tools to pursue the desired scope of their project. But I don’t want scope inflation to be incentivized by a tool that business people are proving to be impossible to not see as an infinite money glitch. And that lawmakers are refusing to regulate



  • Yeah this is kind of a hard thing to have an opinion on. On one hand I want people in that industry employed and getting to do the job that has turned out to be pretty elusive and arduous to pursue. On the other I really appreciate the art that got made even when time was saved on making some assets.

    But where does it lead? Where’s the line drawn between having the machine make some grass and rocks and having it do work a person should have done? First I thought it was okay but now I don’t know how much of a door opener or a gatekeeper these tools will be going forward
