That doesn’t prevent power hungry mods from modding hundreds of communities, or mods or admins from enshittifying the most popular communities (or whole instances) with absurd rules or misinformation bots, or any other of the abuses that were rampant on reddit and even more rampant here… sure, the users can migrate to some other community or instance, but most won’t (and migrating instances is significantly more work than simply unsubscribing from one subreddit and subscribing to another).

It’s Russia, after all. Their entire history has been often summarised as “… and then things got worse”.

Looked like the least worst alternative to reddit (which was the least worst replacement for what the internet used to be before reddit, and facebook, and the like, killed it).

Turns out it’s mostly reddit reposts (often by bots, which is ironic since the originals were also reddit reposts posted by bots) and US politics garbage, and even more susceptible than Reddit to power hungry mods and echo chambers.

I guess I’m just addicted to doomscrolling. Which is almost as depressing as the fact that this inane crumb of utterly useless and purposeless garbage is by far the least worst furuncle in the rotting bot infested corpse of the internet.

No. The fediverse is just more of the same mindless gargling and regurgitation of mainstream media excrement that the internet has become, but federated.

It lacks the creativity, originality, experimentation, wonder, sheer life of the old internet.

It’s just as dead, enshittified, and riddled with misinformation bots as everything else.

Scat singing, is the one you’re referring to, though personally I’d go with Ella Fitzgerald as an example everyone should recognise.

Scat fetish is the one everyone else is thinking about in this context, given Trump’s tendency to always have a copious amount of the required materials on hand or, as it were, diaper.

It’s not only body odour. It’s a whole cacophony of stenches of various origins.

No, no, the other scat.

What’s unexpected about scientists collaborating…? That’s how science works…

War. War never changes.

So, Antichamber, then…?

Nothing irrational about that.

He very obviously did not remember the words and was just naming things he could literally see at the time.

Exactly.

Seriously, I would love to see anime communities, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen one… Lemmy for me seems to be 99% US politics, 0.99% LLM bros trying to sell their scams, 0.01% other posts, of which about 0.01% might actually be interesting… 😐

if you ask it again, it again feeds you the wrong information

Well, it’s a LLM, they can’t learn anything without rebuilding the whole model from scratch, which I wouldn’t exactly call learning anyway… all they “know” is what word is most likely to follow a certain sequence of words according to their model.
Any other facts or information are completely inconsequential for their operation and results.

Being against LLMs being sold as AI (or as useful for anything practical) is not being against AI.

LLMs have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with AI, other than being sold as if they did.

*Some exceptions might apply.

gun accidentally went off

Yeah, of course. The gun accidentally leapt out of its holster and into its owner’s hand, accidentally released the safety, accidentally pointed itself at the victim’s face, and accidentally went off.

Completely unavoidable accident, really.

Weird how these extremely common completely unavoidable accidents tend to overwhelmingly concentrate themselves on one particular country in the whole wide world, though. Must be some kind of accidental statistical fluke.

I hate when they do this.

They never call in advance, and always show up when I’m about to leave.

And then they want to stay and eat, and I can’t give them what I already had taken out of the freezer because it has gluten, or lactose, or whatever they can’t eat today, so I have to throw it away and rush out to buy something they can eat, and cook it, and whatnot.

It’s not that I don’t like them, mind, but the least they could do is call the day before or earlier so I could organise and get everything ready. 😤

Aside from racism.

No such thing. It’s racism all the way down, no matter what colour they try to paint it.
