I guess you’d call this growing pains, and it’s good this happens this early and is being done in such a manner. There’s just no way to reason with corporate, you have to point a gun at its head to make it move.

Every decision he makes only hastens Twitter’s demise.

What exactly is the “truth” in that zero effort meme?

People could see their reflection in the water long before they climbed down from the branches.

Will do, thanks :)

What do you mean by “the bad decision part”?

Writing, of course. I’m in the middle of a new project, which will be a pretty long space opera series. Not worrying about publishing any of it anytime soon, though, and I’m still tackling parts of the backstory and the arcs of various characters while the first part of the first book is already drafted.

Was thinking about that and decided to just shelve my books for now and decide later. Not in a hurry to publish.

Not even AI can detect AI-generated text though.

I’ll just keep on doing what I’ve been doing. Can’t help it.

It’s crazy that this is even necessary. I can’t imagine the sheer amount of crap people upload every day, completely ruining it for us serious Indie writers in the process.

Now people will avoid self published books even more than before.

The point I was trying to make is, all the information about viruses and nuclear bombs are already readily available. AI doing the googling for you will not have an actual impact, especially considering what else you’ll need to make it all work.

I would assume you get the fear of AI from the news media. Understandable, they have a vested interest in keeping you afraid. AI is gonna steal their ad revenue, when you won’t have to visit their shitty websites anymore.

This is how you find out how much integrity a politician has.

There are papers online on how to design viruses. Now to get funding for a lab and staff, because this is nothing like Breaking Bad.

You can google how to make a nuke. Of course, you’re gonna get your hands on the plutonium, which is something even countries struggle with.

That’s exactly what it is.

Only a few years older than me. Absolutely not yet old enough to be a boomer.

I’m talking about internet content. Maybe this is where personal assistants can come into play at some point.

Users need more control over the kind of content they want to see. The problem Lemmy has is very similar to the main problem with the internet as a whole: the current model is that of a “regulator” who controls the flow of information for us.

What I’d like to see is giving users the tools to filter for themselves, which means the internet as a whole. Not interested in sports, let me filter it all out by myself, instead of blocking individual parts piecemeal.

The problem is that no company has an incentive to work on something like that, and I wouldn’t even know where to start designing such interface tools on my own, but there is, for example, a keyword blocker for YouTube that prevents video that contain said terms from appearing on my timeline. I’ve used it to block everything “Trump”, for example. I’d like to see more of that.

I’ve been on sh.itjust.works since day one of my Lemmy existence, because shit just works.

It also doesn’t overdo it with defeds (beehaw) and isn’t run by tankies (lemmy.ml) or nazis (exploding-heads).
