WTF is this article

But still, all that was done through political ads and algorithm changes, and I literally haven’t seen any ad in years, and so far Lemmy’s algorithm is very transparent.

Sure, but what they’re gonna do with that is the question. Like even if there is a profile on my Lemmy account, which ads are they going to send me? How? Where is that data going to be worth anything?

There’s that possibility, and it’s reasonable, but if everyone did not use AI and rather starved, then we definitely wouldn’t have AI, so that’s reasonable too

Ganz davon abgesehen ist traffic einfach mit die schlechteste Methode dafür. LLMs übertragen ein bisschen Text, gzipped wenige Kilobyte über tagelange Nutzung. Ein YouTube video schauen ist equivalent zu mehreren Jahren AI Nutzung.

What part of “the rest of the argument is obviously fine” didn’t you understand? :D

Uuuummm… Tap water is literally pooled resources.

“Can have” != “Have all the time in every case”

Our representatives do not represent our interests because they are so far removed from us.

That’s a super simplistic statement. There are many more reasons for that, and this one isn’t even among the top of the list.

There is nothing about sharing computational resources that necessarily includes loss of privacy, transparency or freedom. With the correct systems in place (i.e. not controlled by one capitalistic company, fuck you Altman), that can all be fine.

I’m gaming a lot. Can confirm, almost no heating bill, but high electricity bill

I’m sorry, your first statement is a little weird. If there are actually only enough resources to produce 1 hammer, yes, of course you’re depriving your neighbor of a hammer and it’d be better for both of you to share it.

The rest of your argument is obviously fine, just the first part doesn’t make sense.

I basically just use it as trash mail for all the services that need a “reputable” email provider at this point, for which the free version is fine

I understand your frustration. It helps me personally to remember that it’s not quite GenAI that is the problem—it’s the greed that surrounds its implementation/usage. GenAI could have been just a tool, occasionally useful, but our obsession with productivity and the capitalistic goal of replacing workers to get even more profit for the owning class—or in other words just personal greed—is the real problem, not GenAI.

Thank you for your training data.

Ja der Teil macht schon Sinn. Du kannst mit Rollern halt überall relativ schnell fahren, wo kein Auto oder Motorrad hinkommt. Kannst sie einfach kurz hochheben und ne Treppe hoch/runterrennen etc. Sind relativ simpel (wenn auch nicht besonders gut, doch besser als ein Motorrad o.ä.) mit einer Hand zu bedienen.

Das Verbot ist aber trotzdem absolut lächerlich xD

Ridiculous strawman in the last sentence. A pic of a furry anime character is completely innocuous, and the only thing stopping acceptance of the service is intolerance. There really is no need to try to accommodate for the intolerant.

Like others have said, a simple rational response in the line of "yes, it initially shows an inappropriate branding for our purposes, but the nerds who made this like it. This branding does not take away from its suitability as a bot prevention tool, and the branding can be easily changed.

You can, though.

Solution is clear, just let an LLM review the PRs!
