Called it. Not in this fashion, but called it.
Nothing brings together enemies quite like a common goal: oppressing everyone who isn’t themselves.
I have a feeling this could very well end up in similar fashion to g*gle talk and IRC. Let’s hope it doesn’t, but I don’t have enough faith in large companies not trying to completely destroy the Fediverse for profit.
As much as I dislike twatter, for once I agree with them as I’m a firm believer people should be able to leak things as minor as concept art or unused game art.
I assume currently any AI they might be making would have some level of sanity to it and will give sane responses. So if enough people poison the data, the number of sane responses would probably go down if there’s more LinkedIn Lunatic type responses in the training data than normal responses.
Just copy every post you find on something like LinkedIn Lunatics. Spread them out over the course of a certain interval of time since you’d hope they have spam filters, making sure to repeat the same things and continue adding stuff to the list. Do this for as many accounts as you are able to make.
Enough people do it and hopefully their AI would be constantly saying batshit things, hopefully, assuming the accounts don’t get blocked.
If they ain’t first party, they’re certainly close enough that you couldn’t tell the difference.
I maintain a stance that the only reason they’re still around is because of brand recognition. Literally the only reason I could think of anyone liking their slop.
Good call. Let’s ban them both.
I’m personally on the fence about this type of stuff. On one hand, yes I 100% agree about actually keeping kids safer online (not like the politicians “Think of the kids!” type of “safety”). On the other I don’t want anyone to have to give up privacy by having to confirm their age by sending some form of verification, whether that picture/video of ID with birth date on it or having an AI that will inevitably get so many false positives judge you, just to access a service online.
It can definitely work if you’ve trained it right. It’s how I discovered many of my now favorite vocaloid/utau/deepvocal/whatever songs, amongst other groups outside of that vocal synth genre. It definitely isn’t doing me super dirty in the music department.
In a way, this sounds similar to someone using a DiffSinger or ENUNU voicebank to make music, but without having to write all the lyrics word/syllable for word/syllable on individual notes and change the notes they’re on individually because you pitched them wrong. Also without the backing track too.
Either way, interesting enough that you can even do this kinda stuff. Especially since any time I’ve played around with that kind of AI, it’s always never turned out even remotely halfway decent in any way.
Sadly the only people who would switch over to an actual Linux phone would be the people like the stereotypical Linux using Lemmy user. The average android user would just continue on like nothing happened because they’re not tech literate enough to know what’s going on or why they should care.
And just like every other time, it’s China promising to work with the US while crossing their fingers behind their back and the US coming out of it for the n-th time thinking “they’re finally gonna listen to us”.
Nothing ever changes if open dialogue is your main choice of weapon.
This is one of the absolute greatest reasons to support opening most everything in a new tab (as long as you don’t end up like my mom who at one point had over 100 tabs on her phone). Doesn’t matter if it’s a link from the same website, from a search engine, or whatever else there is. New tab.
As an arachnophobe, I personally made it my mission to block that community without looking so I’d never have to see it again. Can’t stand spiders.
Have yet to personally block any instances. So far I think the closest I’ve come is blocking a spider community because fuck those hell spawns and a Minecraft community or two.
Edit:
Found out there’s more than I remember being blocked. Multiple mc communities, a cock community (, because that stuff ain’t for me and I remember accidentally clicking on one post from there by accident), a pussy community because I don’t come here for porn, a Sintendo community, some bikinibottomtwitter or something similarly named community (you can guess why), and for some reason an xbox community (couldn’t tell you why).
Also, I noticed for some reason I have someone from a different instance that I cannot remember why I blocked. Some guy from lemmt(dot)tf, so I have absolutely no clue since I have no idea what that instance is like, let alone remember anything about that account.
To be fair, it’s been over a decade since I’ve seen it, so I can only remember vague images of it.
Edit:
I couldn’t even remember the right brand. Chrysler Concord.
If I had the money and knew people who could do this type of stuff, you bet I’d wanna buy my favorite 90s vehicle and turn it into an EV
Edit:
Tried looking up the vehicle because I wanted to remember what it’s called, but I can’t for the life of me remember what it is, even after attempting to look it up. All I remember is that it was potentially a Chevrolet with 3 seats up front, 3 in the back, and a little divider thing in the middle of the back seats you could pull out.
I absolutely loved it and it was a sad day when we had to get rid of it. It may have been a safety hazard, with the back heating up and burning (thankfully it didn’t actually reach the seats, just heated them up, or there could have been 3 burned minors, myself included), but I still love it since it was the family car.
I’m definitely gonna have to continue searching for the name, using my limited car knowledge.
Edit Edit:
I’m not a car person, so shoot me for this if you want, but it was actually a Chrysler Concord. Again, I’m not a car person, so I don’t know much about vehicles other than basic things like how to change a tire or on changing the oil on a 2000s Toyota Town and Country.
My mechanically inclined father came to the rescue as to what it was.
And if he ever tries to screw over the country by threatening US national security or blackmailing over it, I hope the relevant 3 letter agencies come knocking on his door one night, whisking him away to a place nobody will ever see him again.
