You wouldn’t download rear-heated seats.

Mastodon really runs on direct post engagement, especially boosts, to make the whole thing work without an algorithm

It’s very similar to tumblr in that a boost is supposed to function like a like/upvote to spread content, since no automated algorithm is going to suggest that post for you.

But I’m sure people are also trying to grow their networks quick, since it’s sort of a hollow experience without it

Needs a special character?

This is how Mickey Mouse comes into creation

If you don’t choose to believe in it, it can’t hurt you. That’s verified fact

Salix is right that it alludes to the Dead Internet Theory.

I don’t actually subscribe to the full theory that the internet is already dead and we only talk to bots, but I do think bot activity may become advanced and pervasive enough to create a “Dead Internet” like scenario (or at least fundamentally alter platforms away from what we currently know as the internet experience)

These companies not being able to handle bot attacks without hamstringing major parts of their platforms is a canary in the coal mine for the Dead Internet.

Or maybe load billions more in debt onto a company that was just barely treading water

It’s as if the site has prepared a starter culture of past successful memes to help ferment Lemmy’s shitposting

It’s in bad taste to speak ill of the dead

QGIS and OpenStreetMap for mapping

You cannot die, that would be amoral and unethical.

Instead you must live on with mountains of medical debt, sickly and defeated

Well well well. What a pointless exercise in obstinance

The three plaintiffs allege that when prompted, ChatGPT will produce a summary of their works. They claim this is copyright infringement, as they did not consent to their books being fed to ChatGPT.

How can they have a case? How many sites, interviews, social media posts have content that goes over summaries of their books?

Silverman herself has probably gone over the book context in enough posts and press releases/interviews to give ChatGPT all the context it needs.

An AI that could reliably take out the trash right now would be far more disastrous in terms of job safety than an AI that can write or create art

I’m not giving them any more spotlight or attention

Unless it’s a fight to the death, I’d probably tune in

If only paid subscribers could get more than 25 uses of GPT-4 every 3 hours…

I think the content level has gotten better even in the past few days.

I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.
