- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming for the Whole Internet 2 days ago:
For my account sure. But it’s also reasonable to have a fairly decent account that’s decoupled from all your other accounts. Use a temp email provider, VPN, and proper browser and you’re most of the way there.

What if you bathed in Taco Bell sauce?

As with all technology, applying it in the wrong circumstances causes more problems than not.

Why not GNU Taler?
- Comment on Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app 1 week ago:
Same thing should be done with product reviews, and social media comments, etc., etc.
Really if someone makes a robust way to have a trust chain that integrates into the Internet at large, that would prevent a whole universe of problems we have in modern society.

Twitter did exactly one thing right, and it’s community notes. Lemmy could definitely use a feature like that where the users can provide context that corrects clickbait headlines. Other than comments of course.

Yep, when every app has a gray color, it’s much harder to find what you’re looking for on the screen.

How is what I said AI apologism? I clearly expressed concern that the technology isn’t reliable or cheap.
- Comment on The sole purpose of language models is to lower the market value of human skills. 3 weeks ago:
Yes, it will take a substantial change in LLM architecture to make them viable for general use. Like you said, a couple orders of magnitude improvement in training would be the biggest help.

It all depends on whether or not it becomes reliable and cheap.
