Great summary of the current state of things and of the actors involved. There’s a certain flavor of “oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions!” to this situation that’s quite disheartening.

I’m not sure how the comments are counted, but there may be an increase in comments in Lemmy communities made by accounts from other fediverse software like piefed and mastodon.

The accounts that post to !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org and !funhole@lemmy.sdf.org are pretty great. I don’t know any of their IRL names (nor do I wish to, to some extent).

Then I guess it’s time to put “AI” (actually 3 if-statements in a trench coat) into all my software projects so they can legally jailbreak corporate software!

GlaDOS, eat your heart out

We might finally get a triumvirate of generalist, centrist instances!

I see a new post.
I click, I read, I scroll on.
I am the lurker.

#haiku (<- test to see how far this propagates in the mastodon / microblogging part of the fediverse)

As well as 200 miles from every international airport inside the US.

Can someone explain to me how this is not my president saying “buy our stuff please we were irresponsible and made too much and now it will bankrupt us”?

nobody deserves customers. Of course, it’s not the technocrats nor the wealthy that will be paying for this bankruptcy but us lowly citizens.

Given the stochastic nature of LLMs and the pseudo-darwinian nature of their training process, I sometimes wonder if geneticists wouldn’t be more suited to interpreting LLM output than programmers.

It is, but maybe they mean they want no limit whatsoever on post length.

which, well, if your instance starts sending out megabyte-sized text posts I don’t expect it to stay federated with many others for very long.

I see, thanks for the correction.
