    These models are, by their very nature, tools that just regurgitate past precedent. These guys are going to be fighting an uphill battle.

      These models are, by their very nature, tools that just regurgitate past precedent.

      It’s worse than that. Before GenAI, AI systems would have a Knowledge Base that output some kind of formal structure, and a Reply Generator that took the formal structure and turned it into human language. GenAI is basically a very good Reply Generator without a Knowledge Base.

      And it turns out that knowledge is important…

      It’s going to be funny watching, though. Even Elon can’t manage to keep his self-declared “Mecha Hitler” AI from deviating from its instructions to push far-right ideas and talking points.

      Did you use .ml on purpose? Dot ml belongs to Mali. Dot mil is used by the US military.

      Mali is not particularly US friendly so using their AI for military things is funny.

        We’re supposed to introduce confused normies to the fediverse by telling them to just pick any instance, because it’s all the same. And then shit like this happens, lol.

          I disagree with that. The instance you pick is important. They are a set of mini dictatorships (though not all are run like that in practice, but admins can be dictators on their instance). Some even have built in automated censorship.

            And that’s definitely a big hurdle many people don’t want to get over to join a rather niche platform. Most people just want things to work and not think about it any further. The older I am, the more I understand the sentiment.

            We shouldn’t need to spend hours of our free time just to find out where it is “safe” to post memes and share silly stuff. Sure, if we had to do that only for lemmy (or fediverse in general), it wouldn’t be a big deal. But there are so many things in life we use, it’s impossible to devote enough time to research every single one of them. Especially when there are more important things in life to spend time on. It’s exhausting.

            I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but I feel this is one of the reasons lemmy/fediverse will remain niche. Maybe this changes in the future.

              Personally, I’m ok with it remaining niche. Reddit got worse as it got bigger. Both in terms of it attracted back the CEO that had left it, now that it looked like he could make money from it (which ultimately led me to leaving the site entirely and just lurking instead of participating if I do go there), and how it attracted every other person looking to either make money from spam or manpulate opinions via disinformation (or selective information). Plus the corruption when the greedy CEO and those looking to just make money worked together. Oh also a higher prevalence of people just looking to troll or fuck with people.

              The fediverse mainly just addresses the stuff having to do with the admins. If the admins for one instance get greedy or allow corruption, users can move to a different instance to avoid that admin’s power.

              But I don’t think it has anything to solve the other problems, those just require more moderation, which comes with problems of its own, like power tripping mods, users reporting things that don’t need moderation because overworked mods might just remove it anyways or automatically because they can’t handle the volume otherwise (and generally aren’t paid to do that work).

              But coming to here from Reddit those years ago was nice because its size meant we not only got away from corrupt admins but also most of the other shit that made reddit crappy outside of how it was run.
