Why is hanging out for a long time bad, as long as you continue drinking?
- Comment on Huh? 3 days ago:
My personal conspiracy theory is that bars have bad acoustics so that you have to shout, so that you get a sore throat, so that you feel like you need to drink more.

Eh, what’s bad for capitalists is what’s good for the rest of us

Idk, it probably has an open backdoor somewhere
- Comment on Sooo... This is happening on Imgur 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, best politics of any centralised social media by a long shot.

Those are all great books/stories. But they are all off the mark for the AI bubble.
The book you wanna read is John Steinbeck’s The Grapes Of Wrath.

The movement (kinetic energy) is the driver with the atmospheric patterns. There’s no movement in the honey comb.

Unrelated though - that’s a packing efficiency thing.

Presumably to do with vibrations at a harmonic of the RPM?

Wat

Standing wave. Earth kind of has one in the jet stream (3 peaks and troughs though, usually), but you can’t see it with visible light.
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 1 month ago:
This. I’m just upgrading my galaxy s9 that was released in feb 2018. Although many parts of it are starting to die (e.g. screen burn in, a dew cracks), it’s only because my service provider is killing it off because it doesn’t support VOLTE (and I refuse to use the default Samsung OS).
Upgrading to a fairphone. You better believe that’s gonna last another 7 years.

Uh… Aren’t the sellers also like… Half of it?
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 1 month ago:
The economy can go fuck itself. I’d rather have a society and an ecology.

It’s true! It’s a relatively minor complaint really. Let me pivot: fuck social norms around early starts 😅
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 1 month ago:
Right, but I mean, the platform was originally designed without them in mind, and there’s no real reason why every piece of software needs to have every piece of functionality… I’m can see why they wouldn’t be prioritising it
I suspect I would love it if groups were in mastodon, but I’m not entirely sure it won’t backfire in some horrendous way (this is social media after all)

Mastodon doesn’t have groups?
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 1 month ago:
“This kind of thing” being big picture dynamics of how to run a social media project.
I’ve also had a mastodon PR stall, but I think they get so many, many with competing demands, and have so few staff, that it’s not really surprising that it’s a bit mess on that front…
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 1 month ago:
That first post is very good. I really appreciate the way he’s handled the first 10 years, and I hope he has fun doing whatever he does next.

Eugen has always seemed pretty clear-eyed about this kind of thing.
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I think AI optimising commercial music genres is just effectively doing what the corporate music industry has been doing for years anyway. It’s like gamification of the auditory processing system.

It is possible for genAI to be creative in that sense (e.g. move 37), but it’s not possible for it to know whether that new thing is good/valuable/true/whatever. So it can’t challenge an idea in any sense more meaningful than a monkey throwing darts. A human could use it to generate challenges, and then evaluate them, but that’s a different proposition.

On your first point, I think it’s not so much about reputation as about trust. Long-standing accounts at least have the simple trust that’s based on consistency and familiarity. If you meet a new person IRL, you at least get something to go off based on visuals and behavioural cues. A new account online has absolutely nothing to base any trust on.
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 2 months ago:
Emotions (and hence also a lot of thinking) have a lot of physical and chemical processes involved too, it’s not just neural signalling.

The outputs becoming indistinguishable does not imply that the generative processes are the same.

Yea, I’m not into it…
Perhaps if it explicitly showed my subscribed communities first, and had a clear separator for non-subscribed communities. But I would prefer an option to not see stuff from other communities at all
