And please broaden this beyond AI. The attention economy that comes with social media, and other forms of “tech-feudalism”, manipulation, targeting and tracking/surveillance aren’t healthy either, even if they don’t rely on AI and machine learning.
A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.
I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things, too.

I was recently made aware of Binoculars and it seemed to have a better than average accuracy. At least with the few texts I fed in to test it. But you’re right. Generally speaking and for most use-cases, they’re all next to useless.
I’m not sure if that’s LLMs. I long suspected people to copy popular Reddit posts/stories here to gain attention. I’ve searched for some and they don’t all seem to be dumped here from other places, so it has to be something else. But so far I didn’t use any LLM detector service to find out if people made them up on their own or used ChatGPT… We might want to do that to gain some more insight.
But it’s very annoying. I’ve unsubscribed from asklemmy and several other popular communities, because of this.
I can tell you the truth about this: Strong or heavy machines in close proximity to humans are dangerous. People get injured every single day around the world while operating machines. Sometimes factory workers get crushed. This is just one more example in a centuries long list of humans building machines and accidents with those.
The video is scary and interesting to watch. But the article is shit. (And no, this is definitely not how robots regain their balance when falling. It’s the opposite of that. Likely a software error.)
I don’t think so. Wikipedia has a long list with many examples. A lot of them being relatively recent.
Hmmh. Holds true in general. I’ve always been proud of us for doing away with all the waving, the person who does the waving and the entire checkpoint building. Makes Europe feel more like one and united. As long as I remember it’s just a sign along the road and another one as a reminder that speed restrictions have changed.
But I do seem to look alright, and so does my really old, small car. There is some police supposed to be somewhere, looking for smugglers. And they’ve never pulled me over.
Nice, thanks. I gave it an upvote.
Something like a Patreon? That’d probably be useful to some people in addition to the already existing donation option.
Is this already requested? They have a page for that: https://ideas.joinpeertube.org/ and listen to our feedback. So if that’s not already on there, you might want to add the idea. (I haven’t checked.)
I never heard that. I also think Peertube is doing great. And development has been constant, we get new features all the times, for years now.
Hmmh, you’re right. And it makes something tingle inside of me as well. But it’s not a nice feeling… Let’s just hope they don’t waste too much effort on this. And they don’t molest me when I’m shopping or on a weekend trip. Maybe they should invest the money into some social media propaganda campaign. I heard that aligns with the zeitgeist as well. And it’d also make people feel a certain way. I’d say that’s likely cheaper and more effective.
Uh, wow. Who doesn’t love border controls in the middle of Europe… /s
And didn’t they try last autumn and it was kind of a bummer? Mainly expensive, more work for the police force without any good payoff? But sure, let’s waste some more money on something we know doesn’t work.
Wow, 3% wrong… But I feel this isn’t even going to make a footnote in the list of controversies on his (Ye/Kanye West’s) Wikipedia article.
Though, have a look at what they want and say on television. They’re left on socio-economic things and right-wing on socio-cultural issues.
The left/right scale is a bit stupid IMO. You’d be right calling them left or right, it’s both correct.
Thanks. I think I’d like to go with the recommendation to wait, though. I like the concept of F-Droid, and what they do to have some additional pairs of eyes on the builds, strip tracking libraries etc.
Yes, thanks for the link. It says version 0.6 from january.
When do we get that version on F-Droid?
Also, is the body text just a low effort copy-paste of what Peertube is? We know that… And there is a news article about the new version which could have been copy pasted instead: https://joinpeertube.org/news/app-v1
I guess you’re completely right with that. It lowers the entry barrier. And it’s kind of self-reinforcing. And we have other unhealty dynamics with other technology as well, like social media, which also can radicalize people or get them in a downwards spiral…
Oh wow. In the old times, self-proclaimed messiahs used to do that without assistance from a chatbot. But why would you think the “truth” and path to enlightenment is hidden within a service of a big tech company?
Nice. Now try PieFed and MBin 😊 They should have some more compatibility beyond their own niche.
