  • OpenAI says China ran a covert campaign to turn Americans against data centers, but used facts that happen to be true

    Jump

  • Image generation tech in the open source world has skyrocketed in the last few years, and yet OpenAI still has some of the worst image generation models out there. It continues to produce the most generic infographic bullshit that takes any human with half a brain 0.25 seconds to recognize as AI generated. The bias is so heavily-skewed towards this "obviously AI generated" style that I don't think their engineers even give a shit about improving their image model.

    If you aren't even going to take the time to actually produce something that looks halfway decent, and you know, doesn't fucking look like AI, why the fuck should I bother taking this "report" seriously?

  • Facts without context are just words.

  • the material must lack any serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value

    It's already politically significant. Instant fail right there.

  • Its very hard to keep up with what supports what.

    They may or may not be the case, but nobody is even trying. Support the base protocol for other platforms and make specific hacks for each one to fix differences. I would at the very least expect read-only support, with some banner that says "this post is from platform X and comments are currently not supported".

    I keep hearing excuses like "PeerTube can't link with Lemmy, because then it would have to download the video files", instead of just implementing the obvious solution of NOT downloading the video files and let the parent platform handle it. There's too many purists that try to implement the perfect solution and say it's impossible because it doesn't handle the edge cases.

    Even Reddit from years ago spent a lot of effort making sure thumbnails were extracted from many many different platforms, whenever you submitted a post. It didn't matter that there were a lot of different video or news platforms. It worked for almost all of the cases, and if it didn't, it got fixed pretty fast. No shared protocol for that, just hardcoded lists of domains and URLs.

  • The fact that the fediverse is young and evolving is what excites me about it.

    ActivityPub has been around for 8 years, and IMO, the Fediverse is not evolving. It is not federating the way ActivityPub was designed for.

    I want Mastodon threads in Lemmy. I want PeerTube subscriptions in Lemmy. I want to subscribe to Pixelfed users in Lemmy. I want all of these different ActivityPub communities to talk to each other.

    I want to go to my front page and have it be the ultimate front page for me. Why should I be forced to use different pieces of software that pretend to communicate with the same protocol?! Lemmy is supposed to be a news aggregator, so fucking aggregate!

  • Badger Badger Badger Video Officially Preserved by British Film Institute

  • I mean, really, most of Weebl's stuff should be preserved: Amazing Horse, Magical Trevor, Crabs, Telephone Dog ("Hello, this is dog!"), Russian Dancing Men, a ton of others I've forgot.

  • The city has spent way too much money preparing for this thing.

    FIFA and the Olympics scam every city to spend way too much money for their events.

  • EFF is leaving X

    Jump

  • Their campaigning there is almost completely ineffective. They’ve been shoved down the list by the likes of Elon and the Rogan “manosphere”.

    Well, yeah, because the fascists that run Shitter hate the EFF and everything it stands for. And they ain't very subtle about how they were trying to shape the platform into some right-wing white supremacist haven.

    Again, this is a predictable turn of events, and they should have left much earlier.

  • EFF is leaving X

  • but it might be overdue

    By at least two years. Better late than never, I guess, but EFF should have been one of the first ones jumping ship to newer, freer options.

  • It's incredibly easy to even accidentally cause an invasive animal explosion. Many invasive species stories have been caused by a few stray pets, a single crate of animals, or several of them getting loose from a zoo.

  • Imagine thinking that LLMs are so toxic that you'd think we're splitting the atom, a technology so polarizing that it became a security issue. Any yet, nuclear power is an incredible scientific achievement, and something we still use all over the place. But, it's also a technology that we still aren't fully utilizing 80 years later, because of fearmongers like you taking away any sense of nuance in the conversation, and letting blind absolutism govern your opinions.
