Of course we have them, but the ratio will increase as user numbers rise.

Federation does not protect us from these issues in any way. In fact it’s very susceptible to misinformation through federation.

More users also increases the appeal for bots, purveyors of misinformation, trolls, and assholes generally.

Yes but more users doesn’t necessarily make a spoon collecting community more viable.

Am easier pathway is to encourage existing users to visit this type of community.

Additionally, consider carefully whether the fediverse can support a spoon collecting community, or perhaps you should just post about spoon collecting in the general “cutlery collecting” community.

More users is not necessarily more better.

… but I do agree there are very few active communities.

The focus should be on making the fediverse the best it can be, rather than focusing on attracting users.

My translation is: if people keep complaining about whatever bonds are we can invade Greenland or Uzbekistan or Herd Island.

You seem to have misunderstood, and the article you linked doesn’t contradict what I’ve said.

Wealthy, sophisticated LLM developers would not have been scraping old reddit. They would pay reddit for API access.

Shutting down old reddit closes the door on back yard developers, not OpenAI.

Additionally, when you run a prompt in a chatbot, it doesn’t scurry away and scrape old reddit and then formulate an answer. The scraping of content is going on while the model is being developed.

OpenAI would not have been scraping old ui?

Also most reddit content has long since been injested. No need to visit your http site anymore

Nah, it’s way easier to just make up profound sounding pronouncements like “the water wars have already started” than to actually read something or challenge your misconceptions.

You’re right of course. People have been fighting over access to water since forever.

Yep. Personally my first choice is the t490. Theres so many in great condition.

I like to imagine the IT debt in some office building buying and hording t490s just to be sure they don’t lose their budget next year.

Because YouTube doesn’t engage in anything like that ofc.

Do you really actually believe that republicans really actually have a sinister plan to breed more slaves ?

It just seems kind of absurd to me. I’m sure there’s a few nutters that do want to breed slaves but not as a generally held premise.

I also think there are already sufficient slaves for whatever nefarious plan one might have.

In a bleak dystopian future where you have some kind of over-class that lives in fancy domes and the rest of us toil away in the wasteland, how many slaves or under-class do you need? Fewer than currently exist I imagine.

This debate is completely lost on me.

Someone was trying to explain that the reason she sends her kids to a private school is because she doesn’t want them to learn about sex when they’re too young.

I don’t get it.

I genuinely don’t see the problem with kids knowing everything their curious minds want to know about reproduction.

She said they’re too young to process it. I think she means they’re too young to process the weird moral overlay she wants them to adopt.

I think that part is just the authoritarian power structure. Everyone depends on him for their own slice, so keeping him in control is in their own interests.

LOL. You do you but this sounds like a nightmare to me.

edit: it’s not just “becoming tech support person”, but becoming the default person to blame for everything.

If that’s FOMO then pretty much every decision could be considered FOMO. I decided to put my shoes on this morning because I was worried everyone else wearing shoes would enjoy the advantages there-of and I would miss out.

Well, I’m not sure that’s the correct use of the term but even if it were, my question is: why does nobody do that?

IDK how much parents “modelling” things really helps.

My parents fell for every scheme they encountered their entire lives.

Watching them taught me to be very critical of that kind of thing. I guess they did model what not to do.

No, I think with NFTs people were just looking at the bitcoin train they had missed out on, and thought NFTs would be the next big crypto thing.

Mostly they thought it was just the next big thing.

I think this unique. Not really FOMO and certainly not investing.

I think you can kind of fork this path:

• blame parents
• realise they did what they thought was best
• still be messed up
• wallow in misery continually making the same mistakes every day
• accept your mediocrity

Sure, bit even in his prime, as a fit and able young man, Trump would not have lifted a finger to assist someone else in need.
