  • DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI

  • I don't disagree per se, but I think there's a pretty big difference between people using chatgpt for correcting grammar or drafting an email and people using it generate a bunch of slop images/videos. The former is a more streamlined way to use the internet which has value, while the latter is just there for the sake of it. I think its feasible for newer LLM designs to focus on what's actually popular and useful, and cutout the fat that's draining a large amounts of resources for no good reason.

  • Idk most people I know don't see it as a magic crystal ball that's expected to answer all questions perfectly. I'm sure people like that exist, but for the most part I think people understand that these LLMs are flawed. However, I know a lot of people who use them for everyday tasks like grammar checks, drafting emails/documents, brainstorming, basic analysis, and so on. They're pretty good at these sort of things because that's what they're built for. The issue of privacy and greed remain, and I think some of the issues will at least be partially solved if they were designed with privacy in mind.

  • TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover

    Jump

  • Idk what about the people who stayed. I just remember how the original wave from TikTok was rejected, and how there were a lot oblivious western TikTok users who were shocked that the Chinese user base on Rednote didn't embrace them with open arms when they invaded.

  • Banning TikTok was supposed to be the law passed by all 3 branches of government

  • The people here are complete idiots who see no issue with Chinese spyware, mass data collection for military uses, and their massive propaganda campaigns. TikTok was always meant to be a weapon for control, that's why the app is banned in China. They have a different clone of the app that's exclusive to the China that has an algorithm that heavily promotes positive and educational content.

  • I wouldn't. This is from the app:

    Here's another:

  • Not cynical, you're just observant. I downloaded the app. This is literally the case

  • The guy who made the app is a Palestinian who's both pro Palestine and trying to do the no political censorship gimmick, the end result? An app that's infested with actual nazis.

  • You know that you could be against both, right?

  • An app made by a Palestinian guy who's very much politically active participating in a no censorship gimmick? This was always the inevitable end result.

  • If you look into the founder, you'll quickly realize that he's very much biased and has a lot of agendas to push, and I have no doubt in mind that this is reflected in his platform.

  • I remember awhile back that the RedNote community rejected the Western newcomers because they were obnoxious. Oh, and the Chinese user base is not very fond of LGBT people or culture.

  • I think most people find something like chatgpt and copilot useful in their day to day lives. LLMs are a very helpful and powerful technology. However, most people are against these models collecting every piece of data imaginable from you. People are against the tech, they're against the people running the tech.

    I don't think most people would mind if a FOSS LLM, that's designed with privacy and complete user control over their data, was integrated with an option to completely opt out. I think that's the only way to get people to trust this tech again and be onboard.

  • TikTok uninstalls are up 150% following U.S. joint venture

    Jump

  • People on here are unfortunately very ignorant on the doings of the CCP. People here don't realize that the US hasn't lapsed China in tyranny, they're merely catching up. The CCP has mastered authoritarianism to the point where they're in a league of their own.

    Regardless, it doesn't matter either way because it's not a competition. If we walk down the path choosing between two evils, we'll quickly find ourselves racing to the bottom, and we all lose. Luckily, it doesn't have to be that way, we can simply reject tyranny in its entirety regardless of country, ideology, or regime.

  • I still disagree with that notion. That's not normal human behavior. You're making it sound as if people can only process the top immediate threat and disregard the rest. But that's not humans work. Humans are able to have and process multiple threats at once. If what you're saying is true then nobody would care about what's going on in Ukraine, Iran, or Gaza because these conflicts are so far away... yet so many people do even though they face problems in their home countries that are much closer, more imminent, and have greater impact on their daily lives... like inflation or climate change or increased government tyranny.

    The point is that it doesn't make sense from a logical point of view to reject a shitty government for being authoritarian and then disregard another shitty government that's also authoritarian, if not more so. A rational person does process both as being threats for similar reasons. That's a consistent and principled take. The one and only reason why one would cozy up to one over the other is because of ignorance, which is precisely what I think is going on here.
