  Let’s build an app to liberate communications but only release it inside a closed garden. Great idea

  We’re not against GenAI as a tech. We’re against corporate GenAI though.

  This is such bullshit. Models have already consumed all available data and have nothing left to consume, whole needing exponentially more data for progressive advancements

  You need yo block the alibaba subnets primarily. In my experience this is where most of them originate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Fediverse stalling?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not gonna argue with you mate, I know we disagree fundamentally on what the fediverse means. Me and most others never will see eye to eye with you with your capitalist growth-focused approach.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the Fediverse stalling?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Network effects are incredibly strong. Twitter is a disinformation and fascist hellhole, and yet people who should know better still refuse to leave. We have the advantage that we’re not growth focused, so we can can bide our time. The inevitable enshittification will do its job eventually, but there’s no telling when the tipping point will happen.

  I’m not close to burnout but thanks for the concern. I don’t run my instance like lemm.ee does for a reason ;)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a good instance to be on at the moment?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately that philosophy led them to close down their instance due to burnout, so maybe it’s not exactly a winning one 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If we get pwned, or otherwise compromised, one cannot tie your username to an email. The same reason the OP doesn’t want to provide an email I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We require a valid email for registration as an anti-spam measure, but you can remove the email afterwards.

  Israel’s element of surprise was enhanced by Iranian officials’ apparent assumption that Israel wouldn’t attack while talks over its rapidly advancing nuclear program were ongoing with the U.S.

  Yes lemmy can serve as a good replacement for a picture sharing group

  Machine vision is very similar tech

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m wasn’t trying to win anything. You argued that all technology under capitalism is unethical. So since clearly we can conceive some things as worse than others, I was trying to distill where the difference lies according to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so photography is as bad in your eyes as LLMs I take it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every technology we use in the modern day was produced under capitalism

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What I always say, you’re not mad a GenAI as a technology, you’re mad at Capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Generative AI can have a lot of great uses to detect and prevent unethical content online. Particularly CSAM. Some forms of it are already used to protect some of your favourite lemmy instances.

  I could arrange that somehow as being able to reply with memegens was part of the original idea. But you might still end up with a bad 1shot.

  VC-backed OpenAI is the most valuable company in the world and is engaging in massive environmental destruction. The US state just went into cahoots with them to the tune of billions

  VC-backed Uber and AirBnb disrupted multiple estabilished industries for the worst by undercutting them through loss-leading.

  VC-backed Facebook killed or purchased all its rivals and consolidated all social media to the detriment of the whole world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's electric cars are becoming slicker and cheaper - but is there a deeper cost?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So, basically what every VC-backed capitalist is doing. But we don’t see these constant articles of “But at what cost” for every VC-backed venture

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China's electric cars are becoming slicker and cheaper - but is there a deeper cost?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OK but seriously, “China does something potentially good, but at what cost” is a meme at this point.

  Again, python 2 still exists. nothing would be “trashed”. If you want backwards compatibility just keep using python2. We clearly don’t see things the same way, but given that python is the most popular languge in the world, I’m happy most see it my way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Python 2 transition took decades and EOL was almost a decade ago, get over it. If you still want to use it, use it!

  I don’t understand this approach at all. Software evolves and sometimes you need breaking changes. Godot did it as well, but I guess that “great for tinkering” as well.

  It fills me with confidence that the language is the most widely used in the world and is not afraid to do what must be done instead of growing stale and unwieldly so that lazy developers don’t learn anything new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just started a community for those who wish to move away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mate,you have a 20 year old perception of python. “good for tinkering”, Cheezus…

  Ye obviously. But as an autistic person, having to directly face such injustice would probably get me shot.
