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.
- Comment on WHY??? 5 days ago:
The movement (kinetic energy) is the driver with the atmospheric patterns. There’s no movement in the honey comb.
- Comment on WHY??? 6 days ago:
Unrelated though - that’s a packing efficiency thing.
- Comment on WHY??? 6 days ago:
Presumably to do with vibrations at a harmonic of the RPM?

Wat
- Comment on WHY??? 6 days ago:
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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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)
- Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"? 2 weeks ago:
Jealous
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 2 weeks ago:
Mastodon doesn’t have groups?
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 2 weeks 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 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on Mastodon CEO steps down as the social network restructures 3 weeks ago:
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? 3 weeks 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? 3 weeks 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.
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 3 weeks ago:
The outputs becoming indistinguishable does not imply that the generative processes are the same.
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 4 weeks ago:
Like this? piefed.zip/…/mullvad-will-shut-down-its-privacy-f…
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
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 4 weeks ago:
I’m thinking more about less clutter while reading
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 4 weeks ago:
You can already do that in Lemmy and piefed - crossposts are listed at the top
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 4 weeks ago:
Nah, because if if there’s a post that’s of interest to more than one community, and I’m only in one of those, then I probably don’t want to see comments from those other communities, because they will be related to topics/aspects that I’m not here for (otherwise I’d also be subscribed to those communities).
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 4 weeks ago:
I think there is potentially a lot of value in having separate crossposts per community… E.g. if a link touches on multiple separate topics (say, cinematography and nature), then people visiting an cinematography community would probably prefer to see conversation related to their interest…
Agree that crossposts from similar communities (same name) across different servers should be merged though (although there probably should be a way for community mods to opt out of that…)
- Comment on Replacing fridge light with lower wattage LED bulb? 4 weeks ago:
It’s a standard e14 socket - I guess it’s AC? Not actually sure. I think the bulb should work for both though, 'cause it has a rectifier, I think?
- Comment on Replacing fridge light with lower wattage LED bulb? 4 weeks ago:
Interesting! Thanks! I’ll see if I can find a similar bulb and try it.
I guess the fact that it worked for a second the first time and then stopped working entirely (but the bulb still works elsewhere) indicates I probably borked part of the fridge. Oh well, it wasn’t working for years anyway…
- Comment on Replacing fridge light with lower wattage LED bulb? 4 weeks ago:
I tried the bulb in a lamp and it’s fine, and other LEDs also failed.
