  • How would you federate something ephemeral? I’ll admit I don’t understand the specific techinals of federation but what stops another platform from hosting your content locally after it has supposed to have been deleted? It seems like the two goals of the platforms are diametrically opposed




  • Unfortunately, yeah. The more you let people walk over you the more comfortable they get doing it. Being blunt is a good way to stop that kind of behavior, when someone is rude asking direct questions like “why are you saying that about them?” makes people uncomfortable and will get them to stop dragging you into drama. Especially in today’s American climate people feel emboldened to attack people they see as “weak” so you need to not appear “weak” and (this is the much more difficult part) stand up for everyone else who the bullies are targeting

    I get what you’re saying but so far in my experience here the vast majority of AI content is at least identified as such. AI content is here to stay and in my opinion attempts to remove/ban it will just make it more insidious. If you go back to Reddit AI posts/comments are everywhere and absolutely none of it is labeled. On lemmy people get to choose to interact with it which I think is probably way better






  • Founder’s Day. That movie fucking sucks. To quote Community “if you conspire with everyone then there’s no conspiracy, you’re just helping people.” Everyone seems to be betraying everyone for no discernable gain, none of the actors seem to be aware that they’re in the same genre as their costars, and it’s never clear whose side your on. Finally the mastermind of this scheme has what I call “the Palpatine problem.” If you’re capable of manipulating every side of a conflict in such a way that they all die and you’re left in power… aren’t you already effectively in control of everything? And isn’t it smarter to rule behind the scenes where you don’t have a target on your back AND you aren’t responsible for a bunch of serious crimes AND is it really important to you to explain your grand plans to a teenager? What do you gain from setting these events in motion? It’s a stupid ass movie, and I watch a lot of movies


  • Calling electric cars part of a hype cycle feels a little disingenuous to me. Either we get rid of cars, society ends, or all cars go electric. Considering that option 1 causes option 2 unless there’s a revolutionary tech breakthrough, I think it’s safe to assume electric cars are the future. Also I don’t forsee a peak in hype for them, there’s generally a lot of resistance to electric cars

    Aside from the random dig at electric cars, I largely agree with this article. I don’t think the chicken coop machine learning example is quite clear to non-technical people, but I think it’s probably appropriate for the lemmy userbase
